SEXIEST MUSEUM ALIVE
The new wing of the Denver Art Museum, designed by famed architect Daniel Libeskind, boasts some real star power, reports Time magazine.
The museum's "shimmering surfaces" of titanium panels and "endlessly fascinating massing of forms" ensure that even its windowless sides are interesting.
"Like George Clooney, it has no bad angles," the magazine reported.
Clooney was voted "Sexiest Man Alive" by People in 1997.
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG
"I have lived in the mountains in Colorado for the past 32 winters and the only thing certain is that the indicators people use to forecast the weather will be wrong."

HERE'S THE SKINNY
Fittest state. One of the fittest senators.
The Washington Post published a story recently on the most fit members of Congress based on their body mass index.
Only eight senators' offices responded to requests for the information. And, no, Colorado's junior senator, Ken Salazar, wasn't among them.
Check out the the Senate's top four rankings:
• Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah 22.1
• Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. 22.5
• Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del. 23.1
• Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo. 23.5
Allard, by the way, is 6-foot-1 and weighs 178 pounds.
"What would you expect from the senator who represents the fittest state in the nation?" said Allard's chief of staff, Sean Conway.
