...about a small town surrounded by creatures of the woods. Howard, who's getting buzz five months before the film's release, stars alongside Adrien Brody, Joaquin Phoenix and Sigourney Weaver. "All hell breaks loose," says Shyamalan, who cast Howard in the lead after seeing her in an off-Broadway performance of As You Like It, thus giving hope to all struggling young actors who also happen to be Hollywood royalty...

Judith Steinberg Dean let herself be trotted out before the voters just in time to see her husband's presidential campaign implode.

As Dr. T. he has the film's fastest, dizziest, Seussiest song, "Do-Mi-Do Duds" ("do" and "mi" for the notes on the scale), as he dresses...
...Reiner's 1989 classic When Harry Met Sally opened in London's West End, with American Pie co-star ALYSON HANNIGAN and Beverly Hills, 90210 alumnus LUKE PERRY. Next spring Americans will get their return when the musical version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail debuts on Broadway. The show will be called Spamalot. Say no more...
