...Hugh Grant, of course, is a mega-Hollywood star now even though he started with smaller, usually independent, usually British films. In Small Time Crooks, he finally sheds his trademarked earnest likeability for a role that's more sinister. I talked to Grant in New York about his new role and his career trajectory...
...Hugh Grant: [laughs] What's so weird is that after all these years of it being a dowdy thing to be, it's quite hip now. I think I'm hip for the first time ever. You know, London is swinging, baby. Have you been there recently? It's amazing. I'm just trying to keep up and everyone's having a good old time. It's almost like the last days of Rome-it's all going to explode or some terrible disease is going to come. You can't really get anybody on the phone because everybody...
...struck me when I read the script - I was like, "These aren't Jews."

Memorable moments such as Charles Smith's four layup misses at the end of Game 5 of the 1993 Conference Finals or Patrick Ewing finally rejoicing after beating the Bulls in the seventh...
...international star, recording with Harry Belafonte (their collaboration won a Grammy), singing for President John F. Kennedy (she performed the same night in 1962 that Marilyn Monroe cooed Happy Birthday) and touring with Paul Simon. Her personal life was sometimes tumultuous--she's been married to South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela and American black-power activist Stokely Carmichael. Now single, she laughs and says she is "too old to marry again." In 1990, after Nelson Mandela's release from prison, Makeba returned to South Africa. On Homeland Makeba's music sounds timeless and tireless. The succulent African pop songs...
