Monday: Australia hostage, Gone with the Wind, "Eat More Kale", and more...

For 16 hours, a gunman held people hostage in a Sydney, Australia café. Now, two of those hostages are dead, and so is the man who held them captive...When Gone With The Wind premiered in Atlanta, Butterfly McQueen and her black co-stars weren't able to attend -- despite, it turns out, the lobbying of David O. Selznick himself...and an epic trademark battle pits a T-shirt designer who paid tribute to a barely edible green vegetable against an American fast-food giant -- and today, that designer is heaving a sigh of re-leafiness.

Alcatraz study
the Rock was a hard place. But Alcatraz was even harder to escape from -- and a new look at one of the most famous escapes in its history is not encouraging. Not for the guys who tried to escape, anyway.
