Answers

It's one. Ms Stone won her case against French Playboy over unauthorised photos. Two is former US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, followed by Madonna and actress Lauren Hutton. All the women sport dental quirks that are currently in vogue, and sought, within the fashion world, it was reported this week. It was Holly, which was ranked 19th overall but seemed to catch the seasonal mood in Christmas month. Ruby was second overall, behind Olivia but ahead of Chloe. It's cleansing. Labour frontbencher Chris Bryant said the housing benefit changes would "cleanse" London of poor people, a description that Mr Clegg said was offensive. London Mayor Boris Johnson repeated the term a day later. Mr Putin's office said it was due to poor lighting and a heavy work schedule, although that didn't stop speculation that he had been under the knife. It's 19. Proposition 8, which outlawed gay marriage, was passed in 2008, while Proposition 20 is one of eight other propositions in California in next week's mid-term elections, but it relates to gerrymandering. And 203 proposes legalising marijuana in Arizona for medical use. It's Wellchester, as the store is in Dorchester. It was opened in 2009 by former Woolworths manager Claire Robertson, who says she wants to expand the brand across the South West. It's Dennis, who will be 52 on Saturday, the same day on which Maradona will be 50. Swinton is the baby of the trio. She will be 49 on Sunday. Many happy returns!
