...that summer ghost movie that ripped off his Sixth Sense twister ending? "I was bothered by it," he admits. "But I guess I'm flattered. So many times I'll come out of a movie and think, 'I wish I had done that!'" His new movie, Signs, stars Mel Gibson as an ex-priest wrestling with his beliefs ("I like to cast slightly against type," he understates), with Joaquin Phoenix as his brother. They own a farm that becomes the site of enormous, mysterious crop circles. A surprise ending to this one? He's coy, but promises it will...
...visionary, the young performer lives modestly. He shares a three-bedroom apartment in Sao Paulo with his mother, his sister, his collection of 4,000 vinyl LPs and his three favorite guitars (a Gibson B.B. King Little Lucille model, a Les Paul and a Fender Telecaster). De Castro isn't rich. Samba Raro sold about 30,000 copies, and last year De Castro pulled in about $70,000. Not bad but also no more than, according to a New York City tabloid report, Sean (P. Diddy) Combs spent on champagne one night this summer...
...little depth there used to be in women's sports is truly stunning. In the 1930s and '40s, Babe (Call Me Babe) Zaharias could traipse nonchalantly from being the greatest female track star to being the best female golfer.

Today sprinter Marion Jones, who starred in college hoops at North Carolina, would love to moonlight in the WNBA but knows she can't. If she shifts focus for a nano...
...Flick through the pages of celebrity magazines like Hello! and OK!, and there'll often be an Aga somewhere behind all that lip gloss. Its cachet is gold-plated: royal country houses are equipped with Agas, Mel Gibson is a fan, and Tony Blair used to have an Aga before moving to No. 10 Downing Street. The stove has even given its name to a genre of contemporary fiction: "Aga sagas" are about modern families whose lives ebb and flow through Aga-centered kitchens...
...Lianjie came to Hong Kong, got the name Jet Li and brought a ferocious stateliness to such martial epics as Once Upon a Time in China and Fong Sai Yuk. At 35 he played in his first big U.S. film, Lethal Weapon 4, and showed Mel Gibson how real men fight: with stern grace and fatal feet. His debut as a Hollywood star, in Romeo Must Die, took in $100 million world- wide. He has just signed a deal with Miramax Films worth $10 million a picture. In China, movie stars are called film workers. In America...
