Burned at age 17 on her first go-round in Hollywood, following her debut in the 1990 Australian film Flirting (her co-star was Nicole Kidman, before she became Mrs. Tom Cruise), Newton returned home to Britain to study social anthropology at Cambridge and then went on to do small art-house films with directors like James Ivory (Jefferson in Paris) and Bernardo Bertolucci (Besieged). Now, at 27, she's back in Hollywood, with a meaty role opposite the movies' biggest box-office star in this season's surefire action thriller. Make that romantic thriller, because from the minute Newton...
Less atavistic but in its way more chilling is Dutch export Big Brother (making its debut July 6, 8 p.m. E.T.), which turns its participants into an ant farm. Stuck in an 1,800-sq.-ft. house with cameras everywhere (yes, including the bathroom), they'll be on TV five nights a week--and on the Internet 24/7.

On the new album, Eminem addresses the suit: "My f______ bitch mom's suing for $10 million." Lawyers, start your engines...

The band was playing too slowly, so her mother Cissy began to conduct. Whitney learned from the best...
Remember when you were a kid, and there was a blizzard outside and you thought you'd get a day off? Then you saw that school bus heading up the street? To recapture that grim feeling of disappointment, listen to Hanson's new CD. On the brothers' debut, we gave 'em a pass, partly because they looked like little elves, partly because that song MMMBop was so darn catchy. Now they're older (ages 14, 17 and 19), two have cut their hair (goodbye, elf appeal), and though a couple of tracks are hummable, most of their new songs...
