...Show, where he was a guest the night the Beatles made their famous U.S. TV debut. ("Look at all these kids that came to see me!" he said backstage.) But he gained his greatest fame playing the Riddler, the cackling, green-clad villain on the campy 1960s TV series Batman. Most recently, he won critical acclaim for his dead-on impersonation of George Burns in the Broadway show Say Goodnight, Gracie...
...Morrow’s new book is remarkably fascinating: “The Best Year of Their Lives: Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon in 1948.” Each of these three men indelibly shaped American politics, and now Morrow ties their lives together in one book.

The action star, 42, is squiring the pert Dawson's Creek actress, 26, around Italy, with reps for both admitting they're "dating." Skeptics note the pair have summer films to promote--Batman Begins for her and War of the Worlds for him--making this a nice time to toss the paparazzi some A-list meat. Indeed, Cruise's exes--Oscar winner Nicole Kidman and Sahara star Penlope Cruz--have enjoyed boosts from being on his arm. So, Katie, dear, if the love affair...
