Two-time major champion Rory McIlroy is leaving Dublin-based Horizon Sports Management to set up his own management group.

The Man of Steel attempts to stop Brainiac’s demented plans in his latest animated adventure.
I wish to thank the popular media for enhancing my sensitivity. Years ago, my wife pointed out that I was something of an anachronism because I used a linen handkerchief instead of scented, puffy tissues. I decided then to choose the proper path to self-improvement. And after years of tenaciously watching television titans such as Oprah, Dr. Phil, and the geniuses on "Jersey Shore," I've become enlightened and reformed.

President Obama dined with several GOP senators Wednesday evening at Washington's Jefferson Hotel as both sides struggle to break through Washington's partisan gridlock.
Sixteen years into her career as television's chief justice, Judy Sheindlin is as comfortable in her role as the nation appears to be with her.
Pauline Friedman Phillips, who as Dear Abby dispensed snappy, sometimes saucy advice on love, marriage and meddling mothers-in-law to millions of newspaper readers around the world and opened the way for the likes of Dr. Ruth, Dr. Phil and Oprah, has died. She was 94.

Hey, YouTubers! Have you danced your fill to "Gangnam Style"? Have you seen enough versions of "Call Me Maybe"? Now video grazers can check out a brand-new YouTube channel that promises to be as amusing as any cat on a skateboard but also to engage viewers with ideas for changing the world.
A man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend in Houston and then driving hundreds of miles to dump her body in a West Texas oil field taped an interview about the case with the "Dr. Phil" show two days before confessing to investigators, police said Monday.

In this, their 80th anniversary season, the Washington Redskins are finally complete. At long last, they have a practice bubble. Doing without a practice bubble until 2012 is like traveling by train after the invention of the jet engine (though those parlor cars could be awfully comfy).

Gone are the vampires, as are the angels. Make way for the beast-men. Anne Rice's new novel, "The Wolf Gift," combines lust for blood (human and/or animal), Christian theology, European fairytales and American comics in a truly absurd plot. Nevertheless, "The Wolf Gift" is highly entertaining.
Oprah Winfrey is used to running the show, whether it was her hit daytime TV program or the fledgling cable channel named for her and which she rules as chairman and chief executive.
"I can't think of any major accomplishment in America in the private or public sector where no one ever talked to each other," he said. "So I want to compliment the president for reaching out. I think he's doing the right thing."
