This month the album Help: A Day In The Life, recorded in just 24 hours by a roster of artists including Radiohead and Coldplay, became the biggest-selling download album ever. All the proceeds go to the charity War Child, which assists children affected by violent conflicts all over the world. The musicians involved have rallied to that cause, but only one fully understands the appalling realities of its mission: Emmanuel Jal, onetime child soldier in Sudan and now a fast-rising star of African rap. Jal's new album, Ceasefire, released in Britain this week, is an appeal...
...Fame has brought her many of the things she holds dear. Her famous mother and producer father guided her down career avenues that were closed to others. Her celebrity, as well as her talent, helped bring her interesting work, the cutest guys (including her husband, who fronts the band Coldplay and whom she met backstage at one of his concerts), homes in New York City and London, a Best Actress Oscar and such close friends as Madonna and Jude Law.

DANE COOK'S Retaliation is the highest-charting comedy album (No. 4 on Billboard) since Steve Martin's A Wild and Crazy Guy in 1979. Though his success surprised most of the off-campus public, "I kind of felt the rumblings of this happening," says the Boston stand-up star, whose college fans throw listening parties for his albums. Next Cook plays "in-your-face, misogynistic, rude cook Floyd" in the feature-film comedy Waiting. Sounds like a guy whose wait is over...
...event. In order to get political momentum, one guy with a banner is not enough. You need millions. The lingua franca of the planet, as we learned from Live Aid, is not English--it's pop music. From Guangzhou to Bogotá, they listen to 50 Cent, Eminem, U2 and Coldplay. Do they listen to the more esoteric individual cultures? No. That's reality. Do they listen to Muddy Waters? I wish they did. Then I'd put a bill up there with him and John Lee Hooker...
