Review: 'Tudors': Henry sheds frat boy crown Mar 29, 2008
The familiar story of England's King Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and his all-encompassing, dangerous lust for Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer) was the jumping-off point for Season 1 of "The Tudors."

THE NEW DIANA?Carla: The Chic... Mar 28, 2008
Another of the same newspaper's writers, Amanda Platell, struck a more skeptical note, reaching for the history books to describe Bruni's curtsy to the queen as the most calculated act of homage to a British monarch since Anne Boleyn bowed to Henry VIII to become his second wife in 1533. "She has mastered the transformation from rock chick to chic - and she pulled it off before the most unforgiving audience in the world," Platell wrote. (The Drudge Report)
