...break into the American film market (Son of the Pink Panther) have fallen flat. He's been dubbed by some as Italy's Robin Williams, though this comparison hardly seems adequate. The best way to describe Benigni is as a mime who speaks--his broadly funny body and facial movements complement a mellifluous, mile-a-minute verbal style, and, in the case of Life is Beautiful, a script that is wise, sympathetic and very often hysterically funny.

Her appearance on the MTV Awards as Shiva, a Hindu god, who then transmogrified into a different, more booty-shaking type of avatar altogether, vexed some Hindus. The World Vaishnava Association said her makeup, reminiscent of Hindu facial markings that indicate purity and devotion, did not go too well with her diaphanous top and suggestive dancing. Luckily, Hindus don't believe in fatwas. And besides, other Hindu groups were more complimentary, saying her pronunciation of chants was improving and she should be commended for her interest in and promotion...
