Drew Barrymore has had some duds for onscreen partners in romantic comedies — not that she’s about to name names. “The worst is when you’re kissing someone who is not a good kisser, and you’re trying to make it look good, and you feel like you’re just working on your own,” she says. Luckily her latest film, “Going the Distance,” pairs her with someone very near to her heart: ex-boyfriend Justin Long.
Why isn’t Caroline Wozniacki a bigger tennis star? The Danish dame has captured many hearts and countless eyes during her U.S. Open tear in Flushing the past week. Her face should replace Jennie Finch’s atop the Mount Rushmore of women’s sports.
A decades-long decline in smoking rates leveled off in 2005 and has changed little ever since, according to a government study that calls for more funding for anti-smoking programs.

Predicting the Eagles season is like forecasting weather, without the benefit of Doppler radar. Consider this your guide to a stormy season that will lead to … not so fast. The forecast comes at the end of the broadcast.If it's possible for a team to make the playoffs and still not truly be a “contender,” I think that's where we are with the Patriots. Rooting for Mike Tannenbaum on “Hard Knocks” is like pulling for the Enron guys in that play that couldn’t last on Broadway. Only, it’s less fun. Yet tons of fans continue to take the side of the Jets’ whiny general manager (What more can I do!) over that of best cornerback in the NFL. Thus, one of the great mysteries in sports (one that doesn’t involve deciphering what alternate universe Roger Clemens thinks he inhabits) continues this week.As soon as Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren made their divorce final, the jokes began: Forget hurricane season in the Caribbean: Is Vegas ready for Tiger, unleashed?Watching HBO’s unfettered behind-the-scenes access of the Jets training camp has to have some local fans disappointed the Patriots remain more like Fort Knox than “Hard Knocks.” The Phillies have sold out 105 consecutive home games.

Well, don’t believe a word of it. The Eagles are going to be just fine with their savvy new quarterback.At first I thought it was a wild knee-jerk reaction when the airwaves filled up with talk of dropping Jonathan Papelbon from the closer’s role. It seemed preposterous to even suggest. A couple of bad outings and that’s it? The guy had an ERA of 0.00 as recently as July.Derek Jeter and Tom Brady would dominate this space with their ability to juggle and jump from one famous woman to another in previous years.GET OVER IT, PHILS HAVE THREE ACESHOPE THERE, BUT IT'S SLIMSORRY A-ROD, YOU WON’T CATCH BONDSMETS LOOK FOR THE FALL, YANKS EYE THE FALLLITTLE SLICE OF HAVEN IN PHILLYIN SPORTS, NO SUCH THING AS LOYALTYFINCH LEAVES BIG SHOES TO FILLD-WADE, MJ NEED TO SHUT UP BEFORE TIGERWHO WANTS TO HIDE A BILLIONAIRE?GOING TO 'WAR' WITH SOX' BELTREBruce Allen: The Boss, the bullyOUR GUIDE TO IMPROVE ALL-STAR WEEKGLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL?Dumb and dumber: the athlete editionWHY WE’LL NEVER ROOT FOR VICKOpen to much criticismSORRY PHILS, IT'S JUST NOT YOUR YEARNo reason for these dutch to be deniedSHORTENING BASEBALLNATE'S RUN ONLY DEPRESSES D'ANTONI, FANSPHILLIES ARE WORTHY OF OUR RAGEESPN WILL BE KICKING ITSELF OVER THE CUP HYPETHROWING IN MY FLYERS RALLEY TOWELAn endless pursuit of perfectionNOT ENOUGH WORDS FOR FLYERS RUNHERE'S HOW TO GAUGE THE '10 SOXAllen: Bruins choke doesn’t surpass that of the 2004 YankeesGIVE RIVERS SOME OF THE CREDITNO QUIT IN THE NEW BULLIES OF BROAD ST.SO ...
