...Hummer in every garage and lower the retirement age to 37. Today, with real estate prices soaring, refinances booming and mortgage rates skimming bottom, Americans look at their homes rather than their tech stocks as gold-stuffed pinatas aching to be whacked. "People are watching their home values," says Burton Jablin, president of home-and-garden network HGTV, "like they used to watch their 401(k)s."

Barrie in Neverland, which traces Barrie's inspiration for the Peter Pan story; he has a small part in a French-language film, Ils Se Marierent et Eurent Beaucoup d'Enfants, and in June he teams for the fourth time with director Tim Burton to begin work on a long-discussed remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Says Burton: "Once I started on it, I got obsessed." Presto: The Grey Album. Burton initially sent the record--made without the artists' permission--to a few friends and music-industry types, but it found its way onto the Web and became an underground sensation. Hits on Burton's website went from 30 a day to 11,000, and he distributed an extra...
Since you brought up how much you loved Kingsley, let’s commiserate: why can’t the Oscars be in the business of honoring quality and quality alone? This is an organization that never gave an Oscar to Richard Burton but gave two to Shelley Winters (zero would have been too many). It hasn’t gotten the Best Picture award right in over a decade. It’s seen fit to honor hacks and one-hit wonders galore, but has never gotten around to giving a nomination to Donald Sutherland. Ian Holm wasn?...
