Something old (Huey Lewis), something new (Aaliyah), something borrowed (N.Y.P.D. cops) and, unfortunately, something blew: MTV's 20th-birthday bash. Hours of interviews, swooping cameras over the badly dressed crowd, ads for ladies' shaving gel grudgingly interrupted by musical performances...come to think of it, kind of like watching the music-TV network itself these days. Even TOMMY LEE slurping host CARSON DALY's stubbled puss wasn't a shock--Lee did Puffy Combs at the MTV Movie Awards in June. The five original VJs-- from left, ALAN HUNTER, MARTHA QUINN, J.J.

...suavely evil fellow concoct a scheme to seduce and then abandon an innocent deaf woman. "Let's do it," he says to a pal. "Let's hurt somebody." In Your Friends and Neighbors, six yuppies snipe at each other in bed and on every other battlefield. In Bash: Latterday Plays, which appeared off-Broadway and, last year, at the Almeida, nice people confess the most dreadful crimes, in tones so numb they might be reciting a grocery list. (He also directed, but didn't write, the Renée Zellweger comedy Nurse Betty...
...Evelyn (Rachel Weisz, co-star of The Mummy and its sequel) is a graduate student in art at a small college in the American Midwest. She meets Adam (Paul Rudd, an appealing young stage and screen veteran who played in Bash), a younger student working as a guard at the local museum, where Evelyn is thinking about spray-painting a penis onto the fig leaf adorning an otherwise nude statue. This first scene poses the question: Does this pretty provocateuse dare cross the line that separates propriety from artistic daring...
