According to Combs' friend Russell Simmons, chairman of Def Jam Records, the attack on Stoute erupted from a moment of superheated passion. "Sean is an artist, and artists are about guts and instinct and emotions," Simmons says. "He's not a gangster." Says Strauss Zelnick, CEO of BMG Entertainment, Bad Boy's parent company: "It's unkind and unfair to judge Puffy on one incident...

...smartass school chums will try talking their way back into the pop zeitgeist with the feature cartoon South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut. In Mickey Blue Eyes, Brit blueblood Hugh Grant plans to marry into a Mafia family and has to pass himself off as a Brooklyn gangster. Detroit Rock City, set in 1978, is about four guys trying to bluff their way into a KISS concert. It may remind you of I Wanna Hold Your Hand, made in 1978, about a bunch of kids trying to get into the Beatles' first Ed Sullivan gig in 1964. But then, every...

And of course, no hip soundtrack is allowed on the shelves without a fresh new number from Fatboy Slim, in this case not-even-the-best-on-his-album "Gangster Tripping." Other highlights include Natalie Imbruglia's somber "Troubled by the Way We Came Together" and Goldo's "To All the Lovely Ladies." The Go soundtrack don't impress me much, but is nonetheless fun stuff. Like the movie, it's an exhilarating, even if non-committal, ride through music genres...
