| Nobody is better in this 'entertainment'
Tonight, the CW announces a spin-off of one of the most-loathed programs of 2007. ''Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious'' (at 9 on CW 11 and 57, TV-PG,D,L), a 10-episode talent contest/elimination to determine the membership of a new girl group.
Robin Antin, the founder of the Dolls, is the judge and taskmaster here. She has the harsh, doomed look of a woman who has dedicated her life to luring preteens into the sleazy demimonde of burlesque entertainment.
As if the whole Pussycat thing weren't hateful enough, ''Girlicious'' sets about pushing buttons right away, all the better to enrage, horrify or shame the parents still in the room. One Girlicious wannabe gushes that she's more into Girliciousness than Boyliciousness, and it takes her mother a while to get used to that notion.

Britney's Late Night Workout
I was not a fan then either, so I hadn't watched her much back then. And the reason she is using the payphone is either 1) so she has an excuse to stand there for photos and pretend it's annoying, or 2) to call her dealer without leaving a record on her cell. .
The Second Amendment’s Day in Court: D.C. Gun Case Will Affect All ...
No matter how well intentioned, the D.C. firearms statute has been unfathomable from the start. On its face, the law bans handguns and requires rifles and shotguns to be registered, stored unloaded and either locked or disassembled. While it allows business owners to use a firearm to protect their cash registers at their stores, they cannot use that same firearm to protect themselves and their families in their homes. Individuals who protect federal officials and property in the District with firearms are not permitted to provide similar protection for themselves and their families in their own domiciles. In fact, the case that the Supreme Court will hear, District of Columbia v. Heller, was brought by Mr. Dick Heller, a security guard. In carrying out his duties, Mr. Heller carries a handgun on Federal property.
Letters: Why Hoiles' taxation argument fails
Columnist Gordon Dillow's article about World War II cartoonist Bill Mauldin was touching, timely and beautifully memorable ["Memories over the transom," Local, Nov. 11]. I was just 24 days short of 5 years old when Pearl Harbor was bombed. I could read before I went to school and was an avid comic strip fan. I remember well Bill's characters, Willie and Joe, and I would have loved to have a chance to hold his hand and tell him of my memories. Thanks for the good remembrances. Lois Wilkins of Costa Mesa
