Some times people have bad hair days, but not Amy Winehouse! She has adventures with her hair every day. This time she went for the Marge Simpson look with her raised hair. She only forgot to color it in blue.

THE Chinese are openly debating "regime change" in Pyongyang after last week's nuclear test by their confrontational neighbour. Diplomats in Beijing said at the weekend that China and all the major US allies believed North Korea's claim that it had detonated a nuclear device. US director of national intelligence John Negroponte circulated a report that radiation had been detected at a site not far from the Chinese border.

Republican Gov. Rick Perry leads in total money, followed by independent Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn - both piling up millions of dollars and benefiting from some large contributions of $100,000 or more. With Perry and Strayhorn holding that strong financial advantage entering the Nov. 7 election, Friedman will be working to capitalize on what appears to be a grassroots bloc supporting his rebel campaign. The election outcome should answer...

REGAL ROSES: Bearing flowers, Charles and Camilla visit Hanover Square, where they left a tribute to British 9/11 victims. Photo: AFP/Getty Diana would be amused. Her successor and former rival, Camilla Parker Bowles, failed spectacularly in her attempt to wow Manhattan society with her sartorial splendor last night. Dressed in an unflattering Anthony Price navy velvet frock with a fussy oversized chiffon collar, the Duchess of Cornwall arrived at a chi-chi cocktail party looking more like an escapee from the choirboy pew of Westminister Abbey than the guest of honor. Earlier, Camilla caused quite a stir when she chose...

North Korea opened a broadside against Seoul over its proposed troop dispatch to Iraq as a South Korean presidential envoy left for Russia and China to seek a peaceful solution to the peninsula's nuclear crisis. The North's ruling Workers Party newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, insisted the troop dispatch proposed by South Korean President Roh Moo-Hyun deserves "curses and denunciation by all the fellow countrymen." "The projected troop dispatch is a criminal act of welcoming the US war of aggression against (North Korea)," it said, describing the war in Iraq as "a test war" for a second Korean war. North Korea has...

l Sharpton is one of the more frustrating figures in political life today. At a time when creativity and originality seem to have been leached out of politics by a succession of dreary elections -- you don't have to look much beyond the New York gubernatorial contest this year to see that -- Sharpton is a singular figure. He is smart, articulate and even, at times, eloquent. He is perceptive, funny and fearless. As anyone who has heard him talk from a pulpit can testify, Sharpton is a man with a heart and firm ideological beliefs. He may duck and...

WASHINGTON -- Republican contributors who gathered at Washington's Willard Hotel Tuesday for "an evening with the President" were stunned by the surprise appearance of boxing promoter Don King (accompanied by his usual bodyguard). Nobody had ever before seen King at a Republican event. Attendance Tuesday was limited to Eagles, who must pay $15,000 membership dues. From the Willard, King went to a $15,000-a-ticket Democratic fund-raiser at the Washington mansion of Bill and Hillary Clinton. A footnote: Federal records reflect only $10,000 in contributions by King in the 1996 and 2000 election cycles, with but $1,000 given Bush (in 1999). He...
