When the Beatles first burst onto the pop culture landscape in the early '60s, the group's fans and the press had little trouble slotting three out of the four mop-topped rockers -- John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr -- into clearly defined identities. Specifically, they were the "Smart One," the "Cute One" and the "Funny One," respectively. But lead guitarist George Harrison's personality proved more difficult to sum up in a pithy two-word phrase. As a result, he was saddled with the vague moniker of the "Quiet One," which seemed to imply, quite unfairly, that he was somehow less interesting and vibrant than his bandmates. In the group's early years, it's true that Harrison took a backseat to the dynamic duo of Lennon and McCartney. But by the time the group disbanded in 1970, he had emerged as a strong artist and individual in his own right; in fact, his first post-Beatles record All Things Must Pass, outsold his former bandmates' initial solo albums, McCartney and John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.
Is there anything on earth more exciting than an all-star season of a reality competition show? Obviously not: The Amazing Race is just finishing one, Top Model is doing one, Top Chef just did one, and now, for the first time ever, Project Runway is solving their casting problems by doing one, too.

In the grand tradition of shows like Real World/Road Rules Challenge and Charm School, ABC has announced that it will be tossing 20 veterans from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette into a house together and filming them, Big Brother-style, with challenges and evictions every week. With the current season of The Bachelor winding down tonight, we got to thinking -- who should they cast to ensure an eventful all-star season? Here are our must-haves:
