It looks like Sarah from Alaska is now Sarah from Arizona. Word this week that Sarah Palin may have bought a home in Scottsdale, Arizona, sparked renewed speculation that she was leaving her home state for the lower 48-and possibly buying the property to base a presidential campaign out of the state. Two local television stations obtained video of what appear to be Todd and Sarah Palin outside the luxurious new digs.
Representatives from SarahPAC would not confirm whether the house is indeed Palin's. But insiders have long acknowledged-and continue to do so in conversations-that Arizona would be a...

Olivier; Donmar; Barbican, all London
In the centre of the Olivier stage is a pale disc like an enormous seed pod. Within it you can just make out a shadowy figure. It pulses, and the theatre reverberates to the beat of a heart. Serried ranks of bare bulbs sizzle, dip and flare, and out of the pod rips a pink, blotched, raw thing whose naked limbs have gone all wrong, as if they've been attached back to front: it slips around the stage in judders, as if it were allergic to the ground on which it has fallen. On one night that thing is Jonny Lee Miller; on the next, it is Benedict Cumberbatch.
The undoubted hit (real people, not just relatives and backers are up on their feet night after night at curtain call) that is Danny Boyle's production of Frankenstein depends on a gorgeously gargantuan feat of design by Mark Tildesley,...
