...parents came to visit last month, bearing gifts of food. Three suitcases full of food, in fact, holding a 60-count box of instant fat-free hot chocolate packets, a box of 20 microwave popcorn packets, an oversized two-bag Cheerios box, a container of chocolate chip and Macadamia nut cookies, and a whole box of assorted dried soups. Not to mention the 1000 plastic plates...
...film's title is rueful. Ali proved that athletes could be kings then; today they are often multimillionaires who behave like kids with a mean streak of attention deficit disorder. Some are naughty and nuts, like Dennis Rodman, and are rewarded with fat contracts by sneaker companies. Even the best pros display their worth mostly by avoiding trouble. Ali was different; he found a gospel and lived by it, whatever the cost to his reputation or to the job that he so loved. When We Were Kings recalls a time, not so long ago, when an athlete could...
...used to be that people had to be famous for a reasonably long time before anyone would want to read a book by them. But in the go-go '90s, the period between appearing on TV and getting a fat book deal is evanescing. Last week DREW CAREY signed a contract with Hyperion publishers allegedly worth seven figures.

JON STEWART's talk show was canceled...
...turned the actor into Hollywood's guy du jour. Clint Eastwood, Elizabeth Taylor, Mel Gibson and Tom Cruise are vocal fans of the film, and Thornton's fellow Arkansan Bill Clinton is expected to screen it at the White House soon. A perennial supporting player, Thornton is now getting fat roles in A pictures: as Sean Penn's nemesis in Oliver Stone's U-Turn and as James Carville, more or less, in the Mike Nichols film Primary Colors. "He's a redneck artist," says Nichols. "Like Nicholson, Travolta and Whoopi Goldberg, he can play street characters with enormous intellect...
...revolutionary-themed room was perhaps the most intellectually stimulating. On one poster, the Whites who battled the communist Reds in the Civil War were portrayed as wine-swilling fat cats not dissimilar in manner to the depictions of their red-white-and-blue-hatted American counterparts on the congruent poster. Another work in the room focuses on conspiritorial links within the League of Nations between the capitalist nations to destroy the Soviet "threat." Yet a more extreme print reworks a Russian fairy tale about evil people (fat capitalists) attempting to uproot a turnip (a national symbol), whereupon the turnip rises...
