...Roberts has generated nearly $1.5 billion in domestic ticket sales. But even as she has become a regular part of our Friday nights at the movies, she's become an integral part of our weekdays at the water cooler--most recently because of her breakup with actor Benjamin Bratt, her boyfriend of nearly four years. (They actually split not long after the Oscars, but she still calls him "the greatest guy.") We follow her personal travails because we project our dreams onto movie stars, and so we want her to live happily ever after. A decade ago, as Pretty Woman...
...Stitch by stitch, row by row, the French-born, Brooklyn-bred designer has woven a renewed interest in knitting. Her love of texture, flair for structure and ease with knitting needles has gained a following that has included Julia Roberts, Paulina Porizkova, Sarah Jones, Rosie Perez, Lauryn Hill, Benjamin Bratt and Tricky, to name a few trend-spotters.

The real drama begins when their romance begins to usurp Robert's position as their son Sam's father. Abbie is soon forced to decide whether she and her child should stay with Robert or start...
...with the lighter material, and interplay between the various supporting characters often appears a little forced. This is clearly Madonna and Everett's show, and the supporting characters are not given enough to do and seem to exist simply to transition gaps in the storyline. As Ben Cooper, Benjamin Bratt (formerly of NBC's "Law and Order") is simply employed as an attractive man who conveniently stumbles into Abbie's live and falls in love with her rather quickly. Academy Award nominated actress Lynn Redgrave is underused as Robert's affable and quirky mother, and Neil Patrick Harris (the currently...
...lone Latino breakthrough on the networks for next season: Benjamin Bratt, the part-Hispanic actor who starred in Juarez, will play one of the leads in Knightwatch, a new ABC series about a community crime-fighting group. "It's absurd that we don't have one half-hour of Hispanic-themed programming on network television," complains Marin. "We can make stuff as bad as the stuff that's on." Says Rodriguez: "There is no lack of talent in our community, but we are waiting for gringos to toss us a crumb...
