...huge news. The 517-lb. Hawaiian, born Chad Rowan, brought glitter and cosmopolitanism to the ancient and solemn Japanese sport. Now Akebono, 34, is stunning the sumo world again with the announcement that he'll join Japan's brutal K-1 kickboxing league--a career move tantamount to Mikhail Baryshnikov's joining WWE SmackDown. "My zeal for combative sports never cooled down," Akebono says. Plus, he wants shapelier calves...
...dancing; in Los Angeles. Like Sammy Davis Jr., he was a kid in a family song-and-dance act--Hines, Hines & Dad--and went on to star in a multitude of media: as singer (combining for duets with Luther Vandross), as movie star (swapping moves with Mikhail Baryshnikov in White Nights, cracking wise with Billy Crystal in Running Scared), as TV actor (playing '30s tap master Bill Robinson in Bojangles) and as Tony-winning Broadway headliner (in Jelly's Last Jam).

...example of perfect footwork. The Brazilian No. 10 positioned himself at the edge of the 18-yard box for a looping cross from Ronaldinho on the right. His back to goal, Rivaldo received the ball on his chest, let it drop, trapped it with his right foot, swiveled like Baryshnikov and smacked it with his left, past a diving goalkeeper. It was a feat of pure Brazilian magic. Honorable Mention: Senegalese Papa Bouba Diop's scrambling game-winner against France in the opening match...
