...compare him to Johnny Depp," says Lee's partner, Sam Kitt. "His pictures haven't all performed well, but his talent is widely acknowledged." Apart from supporting bits in silly sequels to Scream and Major League, he has top billing in two HBO movies and had a stint on ER's 1996-97 season. "He's still young, but Omar brings a real maturity to his roles," says Danny Glover, who produced the HBO docudrama Deadly Voyage, which starred Epps. In Love & Basketball, Epps found a feature-film role literally tailor-made for him. With Epps in mind, director Gina...
Texas Gov. George W. Bush put himself in a tough position this past February when he sold his political soul to the devil--er, Pat Robertson--in exchange for a comeback victory in South Carolina. It seems to me that the easiest way for him to show people the compassionate part of his "compassionate conservatism" exists, is to choose the right running mate. Insisting on a pro-life running mate just won't work. One name no one seems to raise anymore because of her recent tough re-election battle is New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman. She is everything...

The destruction wrought by that premise is strewn about the landscape--in the form of crime, drugs, suicide, family misery...
None of which is to say Fail Safe can't rivet viewers, using one advantage of TV: as Clooney says, "Films can't go live." It's certainly more gutsy than the live ER of 1997, whose conceit--a news crew filming in the hospital--excused gaffes as "nerves" on the part of characters. If Fail Safe succeeds, Clooney hopes to do a live A Patch of Blue starring Cheadle. If it bombs (groan), the world will survive. But for live TV, there may be fallout indeed...
What smoker wouldn't jump--er, hop, with a wheezing cough--at the chance? If this guy started smoking after the government put a label on the package assuring them of the risks, and he has been awarded such a big settlement, doesn't that entitle everyone to a piece of the tobacco companies' vanishing assets? The tobacco settlement with the states did not offer the companies immunity from further lawsuits, and this case will certainly lead to further litigation...
