...Ancient Eight’s preseason player of the year and top professional prospect. Wilson, who batted .331 with 17 doubles, six home runs, and 43 RBI’s in 2006, has received both honors the last two seasons. Juniors Shawn Haviland and Matt Vance were chosen as members of the preseason all-conference team.

...century, under the name Lang Shining, Castiglione served as a court painter, brilliantly blending Western and Eastern styles. Lang Shining's success is evident in Treasures of the Forbidden City (Viking; 262 pages; $75); his monumental painting of a deer-hunting party is one of only 100 art objects chosen for this book from more than 910,000 items in Peking's Palace Museum.

Hounsou may be tiring of playing the iconic African, but Hollywood obviously hasn't wearied of seeing him do it. From a rich rogue's gallery of featured players, Wahlberg was chosen over Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen and Jack Nicholson. (The Academy must have agreed with some critics than Jack didn't support the movie so much as he subverted it.) Haley, out of the business for a decade, has a feel-good story, and is swell and creepy as the paroled...
...says. Eventually, he struck a deal with Casablanca, which - although backed by giant Universal - gave him complete control, even of the album artwork. "I was going in with sketches and cartoon characters and showing them to my record company and they were freaking out because I hadn't even chosen my producer," he says. Through his music and those accompanying drawings, Mika has created a 3-D cartoon world populated by surprising characters like Billy Brown: "Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life/ Two kids, a dog and a cautionary wife/ And while it was all going accordingly to plan...
