Japanese men's Olympic gymnist Kohei Uchimura, is used to all eyes on him.  Favored this Olympics to win all-around but ultimately coming up with 2nd place, did not dim his elite status.  "Some people make it look hard and some people make the hard stuff look easy. . . . that's one of the beautiful things about Uchimura," said fellow competitor Louis Smith, from Great Britian.      story

I could never sit through the new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - at the movies, at home, or in my sleep.  But that's me.   Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot told People magazine she has enjoyed playing the role of WW in the movie.  "She is all about love and compassion and truth and justice.  There is nothing not to like!"

Alright everybody.  Let's just pull ourselves together.  If a chocolate Easter egg was developed to be called a chocolate Easter egg, it can be called a chocolate Easter egg.  "Chocolate manufacturers in the U.K. have removed the word "Easter" from the holiday egg candy . . . "   (Cadbury -- we're talking to you!)      Yellow can be yellow, Easter can be Easter, the desert can be the desert, Passover can be Passover, veils can be veils, and so on and so on.       news
