...JULIA ROBERTS' boyfriend? There are two requirements: be famous; be seen with her. Last week's rumor had Roberts cooing with MATTHEW PERRY from Friends. And purported photographic proof of their liaison exists, thanks to American Journal, which shot a segment on the Friends set when Roberts did a cameo. Not only did Roberts and Perry kiss in the course of televisual duty; they were also seen together afterward. This brings the tally of men Roberts has reportedly been linked with since just before her split from Lyle Lovett to six, not counting the really nutty stories...

...love scene between her and Wesley Snipes could have energized this clunker, but his semi-platonic cameo made him seem more like a guest star on a sitcom than a leading man. What on earth is the point of getting the girl if you don't even kiss...

...continued the Ellington/Marsalis theme. Obscure Ellington tunes such as "The Giddybug Gallop" and "Anitra's Dance" from the Peer Gynt Suite preceeded the most impressive moment of the evening, "Jack the Bear."

Following Roberts, Marsalis introduced LCJO's vocalist Milt Grayson. A veteran...

...impressive names in the movie, with the exception of Allen himself, have tiny cameo roles as various Greek actors or Chorus members. Here the prime question comes into play: does one really want to spend $7.50 to hear Olympia Dukakis crack one joke...

...resembles the comedian Yakov Smirnoff, not the host of Weekend Update. Miller appeared uncomfortable in his $4,000 suits and often-forced lines. Also, I was hoping to see more of Miller's character, given the high billing he had in advertisements. Essentially, his role was a glorified cameo appearance. Indeed, every actor in this film--save Bullock--has a glorified cameo role. This film has very little character development. Part of it may be deliberate, in order to emphasize the impersonal world in which we live now that computers dominate. But it's annoying to go through...
