...recent afternoon, as cars and scooters zipped around the enormous Janiculum statue, and tourists gazed off at the view of the city below, one 86-year-old Rome native was looking up at the giant bronze Garibaldi. "He was a man of action," said Bruno Ambrosi dei Magistris, a retired paint company owner, sporting a white moustache and aviator sunglasses. "Sure we know that Italians tend to be self-centered. But when called to do something serious, we respond." In Italy, the iconography of Garibaldi - a dashing figure with piercing eyes and a mane of hair - has been massaged...

"Bruce Willis made me start drinking. I'm not a fan of alcohol. But when Bruce Willis sings about golden wine coolers, you have to get your drink on. I showed up at parties with Seagram's wine coolers, and people would say, 'What are you, crazy? We have...
...Willis have stepped up the moonlighting they do when they are not doing Moonlighting. Willis, who has been known to croon a note or two on the series, will be making like the New Jersey Bruce on an album to be released next month, tentatively titled The Return of Bruno; an HBO special of the same name follows in February. As for his acting career, his first starring film role is in Blind Date, due next spring...
