...Othello. The Moor of Venice is now Odin James (Mekhi Phifer), the only black kid in an elite Southern prep school and, gee whiz, a basketball star--a player of great flair, a dark temper and, apparently, no will of his own. Iago is Hugo (Josh Hartnett), the coach's son with a bit of a grudge. Desdemona is Desi (Julia Stiles); Emilia is Emily (Rain Phoenix). As the updated plot is predictably spun out by scripter Brad Kaaya, your response may be a glum "Uh-O." Best to watch the many ovals that Nelson has cleverly worked into...
...instead of sulking, artistic director Gerald Arpino rolled up his sleeves and painstakingly built up a loyal audience in his new hometown while breathing new life into a seemingly moribund troupe. The Joffrey returned in triumph to Washington last fall, performing George Balanchine's demanding Square Dance with daredevil flair at the Kennedy Center's Balanchine Celebration.

She ditched Kiefer Sutherland at the altar; married Lyle Lovett on a whim and a prayer; was linked with dishy actors like Jason Patric and Daniel Day-Lewis. Now she and Benjamin Bratt are phffft. But her eminence obliges her to have these affairs. Being a movie goddess is not only a skilled trade; it's tough work...
...forcing everyone into faux. There's also a room devoted to Chanel No. 5 and a room dedicated to her persona, including a 15-min. interview that first aired on French TV. "Sometimes we Belgians are a little too serious about fashion," says Van Saene. "Coco has the French flair - you know, gesturing with her cigarette. She's always so frank." The French may have the flair, but in fashion the Belgians believe they have the integrity...
