...live in a divided nation. Thus there are two schools of thought on Joey, the 800-lb. gorilla of new TV shows (NBC, Thursdays, 8 p.m. E.T.), starting Sept. 9. Friends was lame, ergo Joey will be lame. Friends was genius, and ... perhaps we need to give Joey a chance. After the failure of every one of the Seinfeld-alum shows, few think Matt LeBlanc's much-hyped solo sitcom is a guaranteed success. In the first episode the still none-too-bright Joey moves to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career. He moves in with his sister (Drea...
...That will take some doing. Watai's surprise announcement last week is just the latest odd turn in the bizarre diplomatic and legal drama swirling around Fischer. After 12 years on the run from charges that he broke U.S. trade regulations, the 61-year-old chess genius is fighting attempts to deport him back to the U.S. after Japanese immigration authorities apprehended him on July 13 for traveling on an allegedly invalid passport.

"Our life is ordinary," she says, adding that Fischer is well...
...Actor's Genius The headline of Richard Schickel's Appreciation of Marlon Brando, "Hostage of His Own Genius," was unfair to the actor [July 12]. Schickel quoted Laurence Olivier as saying there is no room for genius in the theater because it causes too much trouble. Your critic noted that Brando's genius was for a long time "too much trouble" for everyone to bear. However, without Brando's genius, cinema today would not be as good as it is. He inspired actors to contribute their own share of genius and ideas about moviemaking to the art. Film lovers wish...
Thanks to Karl Lagerfeld, things just got a little bit sweeter for shoppers with champagne tastes and a beer budget. Lagerfeld, 65-the design genius behind Chanel, Fendi and his own Lagerfeld Gallery line-is hooking up with Swedish retailer Hennes & Mauritz (H&M). Lagerfeld is the latest prestige designer to join the "masstige" trend, in which brand names like Isaac Mizrahi and Todd Oldham dream up affordable products for mass-market chains...
