...With his strenuous, just-naughty-enough performance of the number Run and Tell That!, Kelley, 20, emerges as a Hollywood throwback--a charismatic young actor who sings and dances. Kelley is in talks to star in a biopic of the young Sammy Davis Jr., and he's just been cast in Party Up, a comedy he describes as "Ferris Bueller's Day Off meets House Party...
...standing there thinking, I am a captive. But a willing one. Though I'm startled at having been spot-cast to play Travolta to his Stanwyck, I'm also tickled by what his actress wife Kelly Preston, who a few minutes before served us iced tea and scones, might find a curious sight: one middle-aged, heavyset man bear-hugging another.

On the way to Kennebunkport, where President George W. Bush's family were receiving "friend Vladimir" earlier his month, Putin had been particularly fretting about the prospective deployment in Europe of the U.S. Anti-Ballistic Missile system (ABM), a shield against missiles that rogue countries, Iran in particular, may be able to launch in future. In addition to ABM, which Putin considers a threat to Russia, NATO failed to ratify the Conventional Forces...
