Oprah's Tyson/Holyfield Matchup, The Death Knell for Macho
Andrew Belonsky · 10/15/09 02:27AMMacho men are not so in vogue these days. And, with some help from Oprah, the trend, once so prevalent in pop culture, may very well be dead. Or on its way, at least.

Owen Thomas · 03/08/09 12:00PMNicolas Cage In Yellowface And Other Mr. Miyagi Suggestions For The 'Karate Kid' Remake

Or... something. If Disney knows, its overlords aren't talking:
