THE mystery of the Loch Ness Monster lives on! Experts have debunked one long-held theory that the beast is actually a giant eel! A new analysis reveals there is just a one in 50,000 chance of an eel growing to the length of one meter (39 inches).

The most famous photo of the lake monster, snapped in 1934, was proven to be a hoax. Still, there have been more than 1,000 sightings of Nessie since then!…

TWO top stars of their day and the funniest lady in showbiz as a director — what could go wrong? Plenty! The 1987 adventure-comedy Ishtar is still Hollywood shorthand for epic fail. But another look at DUSTIN HOFFMAN and WARREN BEATTY playing an untalented singing duo who try to become the next Simon & Garfunkel of an unstable North African country has brilliant comic moments — if you ignore how the stars and director Elaine May, all perfectionists, managed to send the movie soaring over budget with such production missteps as wasting time trying to find a blue-eyed camel, shooting 108 hours of raw footage and ultimately losing $40 million at the box office!…
