...moody, gaunt rock star. He is an avuncular, moonfaced country star with a rather inspired makeup job. But in the tradition of actual moody, gaunt rock stars like David Bowie, GARTH BROOKS has assumed an alter ego named Chris Gaines. Brooks will play Gaines in The Lamb, a film to be released next year. To create buzz for the movie, Brooks will release an album of greatest hits from Gaines' 15-year career. In fact, all the songs on the album are new. "We wrote songs to sound like they came from different periods," explains Pat Quigley, president of Capitol...
...have a crazy side to me, people don't know," she says. One is sure of her sincerity but unconvinced of her veracity: Brandy comes across, at all times, as sweet as a side order of candied yams.

Tibor had no patience with design that merely made things elegant, pretty or beautiful; he always aspired to design that was equal to the content, that meant...
...Admiralty made the case a celebrated one. Terence Rattigan's 1946 play ignored the element of religious prejudice (the boy was Catholic) but mined the domestic, romantic and political realms to create a superior, stiff-upper-lip weepie. The surprise is it still works, in this beautifully judged film with Nigel Hawthorne as the righteous father and Jeremy Northam (an Olivier incarnate) as the famous barrister who takes the case.
