...lead role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But the play crucially falls down in the production. Too much of London's theater in recent years feels like it's derived from television and the movies. Sometimes that can be done creatively, as with Terry Johnson's Hitchcock Blonde. Sometimes, though, the need to shoehorn TV and film celebrities into a production, as with Matthew Perry and Minnie Driver in Sexual Perversity in Chicago, is simply awful. The best screen-to-stage adaptations - like Disney's The Lion King, which uses puppetry to inspired effect - are reinvented and freed...
...miniskirt and knee-high suede boots, and Jerome Chasques, 34, an amiable Frenchman with an international singles-events business. Nestling into black leather lounge chairs amid animal-print cushions, the students list their qualifications. Alayna Tagariello, 29, works in public relations and plays host to singles parties. Nelson Hitchcock, 35, an events coordinator, recounts the time he helped arrange a friend's elaborate proposal. Lia Woertendyke, 18, a high school senior, uses paste-on tattoos as conversation starters at parties. All the students this weekend are 35 or younger. All but one are single...

But director Sydney Pollack won approval last week to film The Interpreter, in which NICOLE KIDMAN plays a translator who overhears an assassination plot. Diplomats are now inquiring whether they'll get to meet Kidman and how they can become extras. Perhaps peace in the Middle East can be brokered...
...monthly $60 payoff. Now he pays just $150 a year for an official ID card. Piracy has become so normalized that it has its own bureaucracy. Two days later, a reporter bought Samurai in Shanghai. The shopkeeper, who introduced himself as Mr. Wang, displayed thousands of pirated DVDs--from Hitchcock to Schwarzenegger. The DVD cost $1. It arrived the day before, via pedicab. "If you want to wait a few months, you can come back for a better version," said Mr. Wang...
...Mermaid? is dedicated to Renoir, but actually this is Truffaut?s Hitchcock film. Like ?Vertigo,? it?s story of a man in love with two women who are the same woman, and one of whom is dead - and who finally decides that he can love the second woman even though she impersonated the first woman and was responsible for her death. (Hope that?s clear.) But Woolrich?s novel came first...
