I'm back from Oz! And, as is my habit, just had to plough through the newspapers. But it is something online -- from AsiaOne's DivaAsia -- that I want to put here today. It updates my "When Charlie met Viper" blog entries (28 and 30 July, 2011).

Two other quick updates as well...

* Uggie the Jack Russell terrier, and acclaimed canine star of The Artist -- but cruelly snubbed by the selection panel for the Oscars -- has since been winning awards, the latest being crowned top dog in the Golden Collar Awards. Go, boy, go pee on the legs of those Oscar panel members! Uggie even wore a tuxedo for the grand occasion:
