The real cure for the common hangover; a holidaying Canadian alleges she was sexually assaulted by Mexican police; Apple CEO Steve Jobs takes medical leave; how genetics play into your friendships; and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have had a baby via a surrogate mother.

A roundup of the latest news: how dollar stores can save you money; the babes in contention for a new Genie award; Apple announces when they will reveal the iPad 2; 2010 was the safest year in aviation history; and Canadians care more about global warming than Americans.

An apple that won't go brown; Torontonians are the saddest; how women can beat stereotyping; stripper shortage in Toronto; and Anne Hathaway and James Franco will host this year's Academy Awards.
