@placeholder, who turns six this month, may be retiring at roughly the same time. | (CNN) -- Frankel and Black Caviar. The burning question in the horse racing world is whether its two biggest stars will ever get together. While that once meant "Who would win if they went head to head?" now all the talk is about what they might produce given time and a bit of privacy. And, just as importantly, how much would that coupling be worth in the mega-bucks breeding stakes? Both horses have swept all before them in illustrious careers. Frankel has posted nearly $3 million in prize money for the Juddmonte Farm stables, with an unbeaten run in 12 encounters. Black Caviar has also done well for her owners, with 22 wins on courses in Australia and the UK in the past four years.

Users can "like" or comment on photos, as they can on @placeholder. | Every morning, Dirk Dallas takes a trip around the world. With his own eyes, he studies artful, real-time images of life in New York, Paris and Hong Kong. But Dallas, a graphic designer, doesn't actually leave his Riverside, California, neighborhood, or even his front door. He just needs his phone and a digital portal called Instagram. "It's like taking a vacation every day," said Dallas. "Instagram is different than any other social network I've been on." The freedom to share and connect with users across the globe is big part of what keeps Dallas coming back to Instagram, the wildly popular mobile photo sharing app, again and again. It's that same appeal, Dallas figures, which led to Facebook's stunning purchase of Instagram this week -- the single largest acquisition in that social network's 8-year history.

"A good eight out of 10," Di Montezemolo told CNN as he reflected on a season where Ferrari has played second fiddle to the all-conquering Red Bull team. The Ferrari chairman resorted to "tweaking" his Spanish driver's ear earlier this season after the double world champion appeared to criticize the team's F138 car at July's Hungarian Grand Prix.

@placeholder's character is "a contradiction of what you normally expect in a bad guy," Scott said. | LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Denzel Washington's new movie, "The Taking of Pelham 123," is not a remake, even though Walter Matthau starred in a film by the same name in 1974, the actor told CNN. Denzel Washington plays a transit official, once demoted, in "The Taking of Pelham 123." Moreover, Washington's character is not like the hostage negotiator he played three years ago in "Inside Man," although the movie is about his negotiation with a deranged ex-con hostage-holder, played by John Travolta, Washington said. And he's right.

But while Grace is fictional, the women who inhabited the often-terrifying world of 18th century smuggling gangs were not - and frequently, they were just as frightening as the men.

The Urban Institute's @placeholder said that stagnant incomes are key to why some parts of the country are struggling to repay their debt. | By Associated Press More than one third of Americans are being hounded by debt collectors over unpaid bills, a new study by the Urban Institute has revealed. These consumers fall behind on credit cards or hospital bills. Their mortgages, auto loans or student debt pile up, unpaid. Even past-due gym membership fees or cellphone contracts can end up with a collection agency, potentially hurting credit scores and job prospects, said Caroline Ratcliffe, a senior fellow at the Washington-based think tank. 'Roughly, every third person you pass on the street is going to have debt in collections,' Ratcliffe said. 'It can tip employers' hiring decisions, or whether or not you get that apartment.'

A @placeholder spokesman said: ‘We’ll be releasing any plans we have in due course.’ A spokeswoman for Unilever admitted the company was not part of the pageant. | By Glen Owen PUBLISHED: 17:00 EST, 14 April 2012 | UPDATED: 17:52 EST, 14 April 2012 The Queen’s Jubilee flotilla is being paid for by foreign donors after British firms refused to contribute to the £10 million cost because of a ban on branding on the boats. The pageant of more than 1,000 boats, which will sail down the Thames on June 3 to mark the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty’s reign, is expected to attract more than a million spectators to the riverbank. But a Mail on Sunday survey has revealed that most FTSE 100 companies have not donated to the event, which at the Queen’s request is being funded by private sponsorship.

When they returned to @placeholder, Brinkley and Macpherson competed. | When Billy Joel managed to persuade supermodel Christie Brinkley to come back to his New York apartment for the first time, he tried to act cool. Secretly, the teenager inside him was screaming 'Yes', but when he got to the building which overlooked Central Park, he was confronted with a problem part of him wished his friends could have seen.

"@placeholder, you should be supporting these women rather than joining Cosby's paid 'attack dogs' who are trying to undermine them in any way that they can," Allred said. | (CNN)Bill Cosby's TV wife is standing firmly in his corner -- even as three more women made accusations against the comedian. Showbiz 411 reported that Phylicia Rashad, who played Clair Huxtable on NBC's "The Cosby Show," told the outlet that she never saw any indication of the behavior that many women have attributed to the legendary actor. He has been accused of harassing, drugging and sexually assaulting multiple women. No charges have ever been filed against Cosby, and his attorneys have vehemently denied the allegations. "Forget these women," Rashad said. "What you're seeing is the destruction of a legacy. And I think it's orchestrated. I don't know why or who's doing it, but it's the legacy. And it's a legacy that is so important to the culture."

"But I will spoil that one tiny piece of anticipation and tell people that @placeholder will be showing up to work." | (EW.com) -- There were several jaw-dropping plot twists on the most recent season of "Mad Men," but the one that arguably left fans dangling the most was the exit of Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss) from Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. Every other character on the show who has left Don Draper's ad agency has either never been heard from again, or revisited in a one-off episode and then rarely to never heard from again. Peggy, by contrast, had been such an integral part of the show's exploration of the 1960s that the thought of completely losing her — and the Emmy-nominated Moss — had some fans in a wee bit of a snit. (Of course, Moss' appearance in the final moments of the season finale certainly suggested that Peggy's story was not complete, but why let that get in the way of wild speculation?)

That probe and a previous investigation were marked by "a series of misguided strategies, tactics, errors in judgment and management failures" that allowed hundreds of weapons to reach Mexican drug cartels, the Justice Department's independent inspector general concluded.

Two letters to Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson this week from Justice Department chastised Ferguson police over what officers were wearing -- and in some cases, not wearing. Specifically, the department took issue with some officers wearing bracelets that say "I am Darren Wilson," and other officers who were not wearing their name tags. "Officers wearing name plates while in uniform is a basic component of transparency and accountability," Christy E. Lopez, deputy chief of the Special Litigation Section of the Department's Civil Rights Division, said in a September 23 letter obtained by CNN. "The failure to wear name plates conveys a message to the community that, through anonymity, officers may seek to act with impunity."
