Review: Queen Camilla by Sue Townsend (Guardian Unlimited) - Jeremy Paxman is entertained by Queen Camilla, Sue Townsend's fantasy of royalty in Asboland.

Movie review: 'Marie Antoinette' (Metromix.com) - Marie Antoinette has, in popular history, been accused of frivolity, irreverence and disdain for historical precedent. Sofia Coppola's indulgent, frothy biopic will be charged with precisely these same offenses. What more could a filmmaker ask for?

MOVIE REVIEW: A Royal Mess (The Florida Times-Union) - At 19, I made a trip to Versailles as part of an on-the-cheap ($450 for nine weeks!) bike trip with a friend, and my reaction to the place was almost identical to those raised by Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, which was largely filmed on those gilded grounds.

Womack Returns to Find Big Broadcom Bill, Gateway Boss (RedNova) - By Womack, Brian Gateway's Tapping of Coleman Surprises Some; Wall Street Pleased With Pick? Too Hard to Tell TECHNOLOGY I was away for a family wedding in Portland, Ore., and just returned to my desk. It's still as messy as I left it.

Carly Fiorina Reviews Her Career, and We Review Her Book (Knowledge at Wharton) - Tough Choices, Carly Fiorina's new book about her rise to the top of corporate America as CEO of Hewlett-Packard, and later her firing at the hands of the HP board, is almost like two books in one: A story about the passion and dedication that drove her to succeed, and later, an unwillingness to fully address why her tenure at HP was so short-lived.

Your Money Matters: Say 'I Do' to Home Buying (Hope Star) - (ARA) - Getting married marks a huge milestone for many people who have spent years dreaming about being a husband or wife. Another major milestone that often follows marriage is the first "big" purchase, which is typically buying a home.

In theaters (Bradenton Herald) - Flags of Our Fathers HHH REVIEW ON 3E. The battle scenes are harrowing, but it's what happens to the men who fought after they've come home from Iwo Jima - and been hailed as heroes, whether they feel they deserve to be or not - that can be just as devastating in its intimate, internal way.
