...single mother of a 2-year-old girl, Zion, a fact some fans in online forums have tut-tutted. Others don't like her boldness. "People call me 'ghetto,'" she says, over a goodbye kiss-off dinner for John Stevens, Idol's Sinatraesque teenage crooner, at Mr. Cecil's California Ribs in Sherman Oaks. "I'm loud, and I have a big personality. People took me to be arrogant because I talked back to Simon...
...slip through the doors of London's National Portrait Gallery - a slow, steady stream of women shaking the rain from our umbrellas and asking, with just a hint of excitement, for directions to Room 41. Deep in the belly of the gallery, beyond the Lucian Freuds and the Cecil Beatons, Room 41 sits hushed and darkened. I join 11 visitors curled cross-legged on the floor, gazing at a 1-m-wide plasma screen where a shirtless blond man lies sleeping: David Beckham, of course. Who else would it be?

...written by one of twentieth century Europe's best playwrights, is an excellent blend of German dramatic verse, pure theatre, and colorful pageantry, and should be well worth seeing even without a knowledge of German.

Just as perverse, the French often opt for "le petit oiseau va sortir," Spaniards say "patata," while the Japanese have adopted the English term "whisky." As the relator of such delightful trivia, the latest elicitor of the smile is author Angus Trumble, whose A Brief History of the Smile (Basic Books; 226 pages) produces an abundance of them. Begun as a speech delivered to the Royal...
...keep track; one 1952 note alone manages to mention meetings with Charlie Chaplin, Igor Stravinsky and Noël Coward. Editor Richard Mangan has mostly concentrated on the correspondents with whom Gielgud was intimate - including his mother, his onetime lover Paul Anstee, the actress Irene Worth, photographer and designer Cecil Beaton and the playwright Hugh Wheeler. The early part of the volume is dominated by correspondence to his mother (the only family member who figures prominently), and is full of excited career talk as he achieves success. Then comes the romance with Anstee - tarnished by Anstee's jealousy and Gielgud...
