Say the name Andy Griffith, and you've said something about America. Griffith, who as Sheriff Andy Taylor on the actor's namesake 1960s TV comedy kept the peace and represented a heartland ideal, died Tuesday, the actor's friend Bill Friday told WITN News. He was 86. In addition to The Andy Griffith Show, Griffith created a darkly iconic character in the 1957 film A Face in the Crowd and won fans in the long-running whodunit series Matlock. But in the end, it was Mayberry that put him on the map. From 1960 to 1968, Griffith's kindly sheriff raised a son, Opie, played by Ron Howard, and a hi

We always think of Kate Middleton as a down-to-earth duchess, but in a recent taxi commercial from China, she's portrayed as anything but! In the satirical clip, a Kate lookalike stands outside with two actors resembling Prince William and Queen Elizabeth. As the trio wait in the rain for a cab, Kate complains, "I just don't understand why we can't take the royal limo. I didn't marry royalty to schlep around in a taxi." The William impersonator explains, "But darling, Granny is right. The commoners want to see us tightening our belts and all that." "Rubbish, people want to see that they can
