Bill Clinton, Anthony Hopkins, Drew Carey: Who's the Biggest Loser?
By David Knowles - AOL News(Sept. 23) -- Farewell, excess baggage. Bill Clinton, Anthony Hopkins and Drew Carey, three men whose names have rarely been used in the same sentence, have all embarked on strict diets that have resulted in headline-grabbing physical changes.

According to a study released this week by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, 75 percent of all U.S. residents will be either obese or overweight by 2020, making the United States the world's fattest country.

Former Showtime Boxing Boss Jay Larkin Dies at Age 59
By Lem Satterfield - AOL NewsLisa Larkin recalls the statement like it was yesterday, even though her husband, Jay, made it nearly a decade ago.

Bob Ney's Redemption after Jack Abramoff Scandal
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyThose of us who were sucked into the wreckage left behind by Jack Abramoff share a form of PTSD -- Post Traumatic Scandal Disorder. When you go through a D.C. scandal together, you're like war buddies: You share an experience that no one else can understand, but you also remind each other of painful emotions. When we Abramoff scandal survivors see each other, we never discuss the topic – it's an open Department of Justice investigation after all – but we communicate with our eyes the shared understanding of shock and pain in our lives.

Drew Carey, Kasey Keller Sound Off
By Brian Straus - AOL NewsThe team with 'Tradition' printed on the backs of their jerseys, the one whose marketing campaign for Wednesday night's U.S. Open Cup final centered on a collection of trophies unsurpassed in this country, wound up being the side that appeared nervous and out of its depth. The visiting Seattle Sounders attacked D.C. United from the start with confidence and speed and were unlucky not to be ahead by two goals at the half. They sealed their first trophy when Fredy Montero scored in the 67th minute and D.C. goalie Josh Wicks lost his mind, jumped on the Colombian and was ejected.Seattle's ...
