Our crack intern Nicole DeLuca brings us up to date on the news:In Stolen Screams, a memorable feature in our April 2005 issue, Simon Cooper covered the daring thefts of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” (it was stolen twice). The painting was recovered two years later, in August 2006, and three men whose apprehension Simon describes, were convicted of the crime. Their sentences, however, remain up in the air. Originally a judge gave them terms of five-and-a-half to nine-and-a-half years and ordered them to pay $287,000 in fines, but now the Supreme Court of Norway has decided to review the punishments. Too lenient for snatching a masterpiece? Too harsh? We’ll have to wait and see.

When will the Munch estate sue the makers of Home Alone for copyright infringement?
Sorry. I couldn't help it.
Dear Playboy,
I was just wondering if there was any talk, about boycotting Southwest Airlines, for their treatment of Kyla Ebert?
