Studios on a never-ending hunt for a young Julia Roberts have found a contender close to home--the star's niece, EMMA ROBERTS, 14, daughter of actor Eric and star of the Nickelodeon show Unfabulous. The toothy teen, just signed by Paramount Pictures for a comedy called Camp Couture, is one of several celebrity offspring going into the family business. It's neat. They're like their elders--but cuter...
...1990s, when Jackie Chan and Jet Li were the hot international news out of Hong Kong, another actor was the colony's No. 1 box-office draw. Stephen Chow's raucous comedies tickled the locals no end, but since his humor was largely verbal (a nonsense patter known as "mo-lei-tau"), few were betting that he could become a star in the West. Chow took the bet and made two action comedies--Shaolin Soccer (2001) and Kung Fu Hustle (2004)--that were huge pan-Asian hits and proved him an expert director as well as an engaging joker. With...
...heart. The officialdom of punditry, so full of phonies and dullards, would suffer without her humor and fire. Which is not to say you don't want to shut her up occasionally.

He said he wants to be an actor one day, and no one doubts he will be. The Sox as World Champions are kind of the anti-Pats-Tom Terrific and a bunch of hardworking lunch-pail teammates. The Sox are cartoon characters and superheroes. Ortiz, Ramirez, Schilling: larger than life in personality and, in Curt's case, with an ego to match. Damon...
...just off of St. Peter's Square, Scola flashed a warm smile. He wasn't wearing any of his Cardinal scarlet robes, just a simple black suit and clerical collar, but I recognized him right away by his reddish complexion and burly figure - a bespectacled version of American character actor Brian Denehey. Though an aide tried to shoo me away, I was able to ask Scola how the week was going so far. "Excellent!" he said with what seemed like authentic exuberance. "We are in God's hands." And he was gone with the late afternoon breeze. In the 20th...
