Almost as surreal as Jerry Tarkanian's continuing involvement in the U.S. Supreme Court. Proof that once again, unlike the Tark's bald head, the rolling stone of professional sports gathers no [Kate] moss...
...said, "and now they're part of our heritage." The same thing happened to the father of "theater of the absurd" (he preferred the label theater of derision, saying, "It's not a certain society that seems ridiculous to me, it's mankind"). In 1950, Eugene Ionesco's The Bald Soprano opened in Paris to catcalls, and a performance of his The Lesson ended with the lead actor bolting out ahead of angry spectators. But seven years later, a Paris theater produced a double bill of the two plays; they are still running today after nearly 12,000 performances...
...studio audience, an opening monologue (video clips of the day's news followed by Kinnear wisecracks) and lots of prepared shtick to keep the interviews from bogging down in, say, real conversation. For Julia Louis-Dreyfus, he introduced a taped bit purporting to reveal that she is actually bald. For Martin Short, he took out a script of !

"Lullabies are songs that soothe little children to sleep, but they can also be empowering." She has a new video on MTV (she is bald in the arty black and white clip; she has since let her hair grow out a bit), and a Rolling Stone critics' poll chose NdegeOcello, 25, as "the brightest hope for 1994." The praise is well deserved. On her album she is almost a one-person band, playing drums, keyboards, guitar...
