And we thought he was just some pampered, tea-swilling panty boy! Prince Harry, all uniformed up and serving in Afghanistan, looks kinda hottie in the combat gear. In the war zone, too. Wowza. Diana would be proud of her boys, who seem modern and determined to use their lives for more than pomp and pageantry. Good on 'em.

Speaking of Brits, we super dug Sir Bob Geldof's exchange with Dubya about the prez's good work in Africa. Geldof, whose aging rocker coif look a little Einstein-ish, interviews like those pitbull reporters at the BBC. Ever watched a BBC reporter in a press conference? Dayum. They don't play.

It was also a big year at the Oscars, what with the English actors taking home our highest thespian prizes. If only they could export something with a high price tag. Other than Stella McCartney clothes. Sigh.

This week, our biggest dilemma (outside of treadmill, elliptical trainer or Pilates) has been whether to buy Starbucks stock or wait for it to dip. We go back and forth with our better half. Wish we had that Jim Cramer dude on speed dial. We only dabble in the market, and we pick stocks like a dumb chick — whatever stuff we think is cool, we buy. We know, we know. Not exactly Trump like. But it does make us invested in our miniscule portfolio.
