...might look to the past for inspiration, but Shido (who, in the Kabuki tradition, is commonly known by his first name) is very much a man of his day. His film debut in last summer's Ping Pong, in which he played a demonically intense table-tennis champion named Dragon, netted him a Best Newcomer trophy at the Japanese Academy Awards, along with a host of other laurels. He followed up on the small screen in Japan's first sitcom, HR, as a bleached-blond rebel who spooks his night-school classmates with insinuations of underworld connections, and orders pizza...

If there's a real candidate for the American What Not, it's Bravo's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, which makes its debut July 15 at 10 p.m. E.T. It is also shameless, but in a more original, less creepy way. In each episode, a heterosexual man is schooled in fashion, design, culture, grooming and fine dining by five gay guys. Its unspoken premise, provocative but true, is that...
