...another continent. BRITNEY SPEARS told Elle magazine that she's mulling the name London Preston if the tyke due to exit her much on-display belly this fall is a boy. Spears' metropolitan moniker would mimic choices by David and Victoria Beckham, who call their boy Brooklyn; Bono, whose daughter is Memphis; Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin, whose lass is Ireland; and Michael Jackson, whose princess is Paris. If Spears has a girl, she says, she'll call her Addison Shye. Addison is a county in Vermont. It's not glamorous, but it's probably very pretty...
Anoushka Shankar Rise With a Grammy nomination in 2003, sitar prodigy Anoushka Shankar, daughter of Ravi, has already made her mark on Indian classical music. For her fourth album, Shankar has allowed Midival Punditz's Gaurav Raina, acting as producer, to jettison the traditional sound of her earlier work in favor of something altogether less orthodox, just as her father teamed up with Beatle George Harrison a generation ago.

It's a case of reverse discrimination, but it's larger than that. Her youngest daughter is leaving home for college. Her father has a form of dementia, and she's sort of Cordelia to her father's Lear. She's looking at political beliefs she formed 30 years ago that she thought would be the dominant beliefs in her life and in the country--and which...
...find myself far more interested in my old friends and in deeper alliances. My 50s are also about being a mother and the joy of my daughter Lucy Jane and about loss. Real loss. My sister Sandra died of breast cancer at 60, so I know about things I didn't know about before. My father died two years ago, and then my friend [the director] Gerald Gutierrez died. He was 53. I think if you experience loss, you also on some level try to treasure joy. It can be as simple as going to the ballet or being with...
