London, Feb 9: Modern couples are not turning their backs on marriage, as divorce rates has come down, a new study has revealed.
In fact, couples who marry this year and clock up a decade of married life, are just as likely as their grandparents to make it through to their golden wedding anniversary.
Researchers have found that the divorce rate for couples after 10 years of marriage is the same as it was in the previous 40 years, the Daily Express reported.
One in five couples divorce after 10 years but the likelihood of a marriage ending in divorce shrinks with each decade.
A tiny two percent of marriages end in divorce after 30 years and it goes down to 0.5 per cent after 40 years.

Kathy Griffin has made a career of ribbing celebrities, so it's no surprise that the comedienne is now sending up one of most iconic images in pop music history.
Griffin has been named to the Out 100, the magazine's annual list honoring the most influential people in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community as well as straight allies who support Lgbt causes. And yes, that's openly gay "Modern Family" star Jesse Tyler Ferguson helping to keep this picture mostly safe for work.
"To pay homage to their individualism, this year's portfolio is inspired by iconic portraits of the 20th century, from Richard Avedon's image of a shaving Marlon Brando and Robert Mapplethorpe's Patti Smith to Herb Ritts's Madonna and Harry Benson's timeless portraits of the Beatles pillow-fighting," Out says on its website.

Out magazine continues to roll out it's 2011 Out 100, which honors the 100 Lgbt people of the year. Today the magazine names comedian Kathy Griffin and "Modern Family" star Jesse Tyler Ferguson as honorees on this year's list.
The theme of this year's Out 100 is iconic portraits from the 20th century and finds Griffin and Ferguson channeling Herb Ritts' famous Rolling Stone image of Janet Jackson.
From Out's website:
In 2011, we were reminded of the extraordinary power of the individual to inspire and motivate by example. A gay intern helped save the life of U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords; a young transgender student was crowned high school prom queen; a New York City lawyer became the first openly gay man appointed to the federal bench; and an air force officer, who helped found an undercover group of 4,000 Lgbt active-duty service members, was free to come out -- along with tens of thousands of his colleagues.

During the summer of 1972 the world was riveted by the cold war drama of the chess games in Iceland between the Soviet chess master Boris Spassky and his American challenger Bobby Fischer. I remember it well as I produced George Steiner's series of analyses of the contest for BBC Radio 3. Steiner's classic essay on the affair for the New Yorker was published in book form the following year as The Sport Scene: White Knights of Reykjavik. Liz Garbus's fascinating but rather low-key documentary traces Fischer's life from childhood prodigy to the burgeoning insanity that culminated in his lonely, isolated death as a paranoid, antisemitic and anti-American Jewish American in 2008. The centre and highpoint of his career is of course that successful challenge to Spassky at the age of 29 from which the madness stems. It is a tragic story, often painful to watch and listen to, with some eloquent, highly...

A riveting documentary about the troubled Us chess champion and his battle with Boris Spassky
Liz Garbus's gripping documentary about the life and times of the troubled American chess genius Bobby Fischer asks a number of questions. Did Bobby's missing dad create an emotional void which was neurotically filled with chess? Is there something in the game that encourages immersive obsession and ultimate madness? Would Fischer have gone the same way if he had been a plumber or a welder? And why is it that antisemitism is the bigotry of choice for mentally ill people?
Non-chessers like me are already basically aware of the second and third acts of this American life. The middle act was Fischer's sensational world championship victory against Boris Spassky in 1972 followed by an immediate withdrawal into depression. His victory was perhaps merely an interruption to the reclusiveness which had, in effect, begun many years before.

Bobby Fischer Against The World ***½
Featuring Garry Kasparov, Susan Polgar, Grandmaster Larry Evans, Dr Anthony Saidy | Produced and directed by Liz Garbus
At the height of his popularity in the 1970s, Bobby Fischer was a household name. What Muhammad Ali was to boxing, Fischer was to chess. His ability inspired thousands to take up the hobby and is widely credited as being one of the finest, if not the finest, chess player ever to have lived.
Bobby Fischer Against The World tells the story of how he rose from a gifted child prodigy who accepted fame reluctantly to a champion who defeated the might of the Russian incumbent Boris Spassky during the Cold War. He lost the title by default in 1975 because he refused to defend it and later became a recluse only to resurface almost 20 years later to play a rematch with Spassky in Yugoslavia – an action which broke...

He was the chess genius who electrified the planet – until his life unravelled spectacularly. Can a new film explain Bobby Fischer
Bobby Fischer was the blessing and the curse of chess in the 20th century. The American electrified the game when he rose to prominence in the 1950s and 60s, and won the world championship in a thrilling match against Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union in 1972. But then, increasingly unhinged, he refused to defend his title in 1975, wandered the world for the next 30 years, and in 2008 died in Iceland – the scene of his 1972 triumph and, by the end, more or less the only country that would give him sanctuary. His absence from the chess stage was more interesting than anyone else's presence could possibly be, and his shadow still looms over the game. (A prize if you can name the current world champion.)
That current champion, a very sane and pleasant fellow,...

Recently awarded full custody of his kids, basketball star Dwyane Wade on the importance of being-and having-a father, in this week's Newsweek.
There are a few words that come to mind when I think about the past few years of my life: challenging, rewarding, transformative-they roll off the tip of my tongue in an instant. In the span of a year, my two good friends LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined me on the Miami Heat, I struggled through a painful, public divorce, and I became the full-time parent to my two young sons, Zaire and Zion.
Related story on The Daily Beast: A Father and His First Daughters
I've had some ups and downs lately, but the memories of the unpleasant times disappear quickly, in part because of moments like the one recently when I was able to surprise my younger son, Zion, at his school with cupcakes for his fourth birthday.

'Bobby Fischer Against the World' (9Pm Et, HBO)
HBO kicks off its summer documentary series with a film that chronicles the brilliant rise of chess prodigy Bobby Fischer, who became a grandmaster as a teenager, battled Russia's Boris Spassky in a legendary 1972 match and, in his controversial later years, became paranoid and withdrawn. This documentary draws on interviews with chess legend Gary Kasparov, author Malcolm Gladwell, talk-show host Dick Cavett, Paul Marshall (Fischer's personal attorney), Harry Sneider (his trainer) and photographer Harry Benson, who had access to Fischer before and during the 1972 championship.

Tracking Nim’s extraordinary journey and his impact on the people he meets along the way, the film is an unflinching and unsentimental biography of an animal we tried to make human.

Biographical documentaries always present an inherent problem; how does one sum up a person’s life in ninety minutes? Some films take an event-heavy approach; we get a sense of the subject by accounting for the major events in their life and how they felt and acted in these moments. Other documentaries create a sort of snapshot of their subject. Bobby Fischer Against the World falls into a slightly different category.
This documentary examines Fischer’s psyche within the event-heavy approach using a cause-and-effect reasoning. Countless biographical documentaries fall into this category. The problem is that life, and people, are not this simple. On a gut level the documentaries that attempt this lofty goal are unsatisfying. Yet, many of these films are very good, and even great, because their goal may be futile, but the efforts and results are still revealing and informative. Bobby Fischer Against the World may not...

Any diehard wine-sipping liberatti could find himself in doc heaven, theater-hopping from topic to topic: mountaintop-removal coal mining in The Last Mountain; African electioneering in An African Election; and bare-knuckle Irish fistfighting in Knuckle. Then, there are those docs with the polished pizzazz and dramatic thrust of a feature film. This year, two of the snazziest docs at the festival were Liz Garbus’s epic chess-genius portrait, Bobby Fischer Against the World, and Andrew Rossi’s fly-on-the-newsroom-wall film, Page One: A Year Inside the New York Times.

Who’d have ever thought a Polaroid could be so terrifying? Silent House provides one of the scariest scenes ever in a movie, and it all comes down to a pitch-black room and one old Polaroid camera. On opening night, the crowds flocked to the Press & Industry screening of this horror film from the same writer-director team that brought us 2003’s Open Water. As one might guess, the title house in the film is anything but silent, and suspense, fear, fright, and horror lurk under every table, and even drip from the sink. But the real fun begins...

Alexander M. Haig Jr. died today at the age of 85. Harry Benson took this photograph of the former secretary of state and White House chief of staff for “Yes, Mr. President,” a portfolio from the April 2007 issue of Vanity Fair that reunited presidential aides from every administration since Harry S. Truman’s. Here is the caption that ran with it: Reporting For Duty Alexander Haig, former Nato Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, served Presidents Nixon (as a military adviser, deputy assistant for national-security affairs, and chief of staff), Ford (chief of staff), and Reagan (secretary of state), in West Palm Beach, Florida. “I’m in control here in the White House, pending the return of the vice president,” he famously insisted in the hectic aftermath of the assassination attempt against Reagan.

After getting five teeth punched out by Marlon Brando, left, Ron Galella took precautions. There may be no better way to observe celebrity culture than through the lens of Ron Galella, the original paparazzo. In Smash His Camera, a new documentary on the photographer, which premiered at Sundance yesterday, director Leon Gast enters the world of a man who, in four decades in the business, has taken more than three million photographs of public figures, almost all of them against their will. With full access to Galella, his archives, and his New Jersey home—decorated, by the pap himself, in a gaudy Italianate style—Gast neither glorifies his subject nor gives in to facile vilification. He poses all the right questions: Are paparazzi feeding a need for celebrity snapshots, or are they creating one? Is their work a testament to the First Amendment, or is it a test of it?...

Pundits and politicians are furiously debating the merits of President Barack Obama’s having being named the fourth U.S. president to receive a Nobel Peace Prize. Supporters agree with the Stockholm committee’s assertions that he has actually tamped down tensions across the globe through his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,” through his commitment to nuclear arms reduction, through his exceptional oratory—his “race” speech in Philadelphia; his Inaugural Address (“we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist”), his “outreach” speech in Cairo. Detractors (and even White House aides) are, in the words of ABC News, utterly nonplussed. Fellow Nobel laureate Lech Walesa, the former Solidarity leader, who became the president of Poland, might have said it best, when told of Obama’s milestone: “Who? What? So fast?... There hasn't been any contribution to peace yet. He's proposing things,...
