I came across a cool story today on how troops in Iraq -- even some of the Iraqi ones -- see Chuck Norris as a cult hero. You may have seen some of the "Chuck Norris Facts" online. Now there's word of a small cardboard shrine to the action star in Baghdad, where troops pay homage to the man whose tears would cure cancer -- if only he ever shed any. Soldiers laud the actor's manliness and virility in comments left on bathroom walls across Iraq and even in neighboring Kuwait, troops say.
"The fastest way to a man's heart is with Chuck Norris's fist," reads one message at the shrine, which consists of similar statements and a signed photo of the actor, who has visited Iraq several times. "Chuck Norris puts the laughter in manslaughter," reads another.

High School Condifentialpremieres tonight at 9 on WE. A production team followed 12 girls through their four years of high school.
