    Latest Marple mystery mostly marvellous

    Dame Agatha Christie remains the gold standard of mystery writers, not only for her productivity -- the woman wrote 80 detective novels -- but also for her permanence. One could argue that Sherlock Holmes is the most universally famous detective, but Arthur Conan Doyle had but one iconic offspring while Christie had two -- Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple.

Restaurant Reviews

  1. New Diamond owner/chef Shi Yuan Chen with Chinese-style deep-fried chicken, left, and Chinese­style sweet and sour ribs.

    Hit & myth

    When characters in a movie or on television wield their chopsticks, plucking morsels of Chinese food from those cardboard (as opposed to foil) containers I can't actually see what they're eating but I just know it's good. At least, I always assume it is if the setting is New York, or some other fabulous food centre. Winnipeg Free PressPRINT | 3/07/2009 1:00 AM | 2

    Tricky for teen BFFs to play feuding cousins

    IT’S been a bit of a hectic year for Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, as the 16-year-old teen idols — and real-life best friends — have seen their fame grow exponentially. From their respective Disney Chan­nel shows (Gomez’s  Wizards of Waverley Place  and Lovato’s Sonny with a Chance) to Lovato’s starring turn in the Jonas Broth­ers’ made-for-TV movie Camp Rock to their music careers, the pair has been going non-stop for the last 12 months. Their fans, meanwhile, can’t seem to get enough; hardly a week goes by without Gomez or Lovato getting mobbed by eager admirers. Winnipeg Free PressPRINT | 2/07/2009 1:00 AM | 0
