Most successful comedians play variations of the same character in variations of the same movie. As a result, they eventually broadcast their resentment for the audiences that make them successful, ŕ la Chevy Chase, or, like Jim Carrey, renounce them in pursuit of broader horizons. Ferrell not only doesn't chafe under the demands of popular taste--"I love playing the macho guy who looks like an idiot," he says--he has reduced movie stardom to a series of unpretentious, unthinking decisions. "Will's stand is, If it's good and it makes us laugh, I'm doing it," says...
YouTube stirred enormous buzz with its growing video community last year, and Zennstrom and Friis, who had no formal business plan, faced a quandary early in the project's development.

Having not heard the remix disc, I can’t say whether it will promote the same sense of psychedelic euphoria when combined with illegal substances. But the un-remixed album will make your toes curl up with delight. Even if you’re not partial to trance-like...
...place on the team is secure, but his ethic has not slackened. He is the embodiment of his coaches’ advice to the team to maintain an “underdog mentality,” saying that, “you run faster when you have something to chase.” Whether Denenberg chases down his opponents’ shots or his own grueling athletic and academic goals—he is concentrating in engineering sciences—he has shown that he has the fortitude to reach them. “He grew from a solid baseline...
