...filming Almost Famous, the project that has propelled her into the spotlight as Hollywood's new it-girl and earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Besides Hudson, the rest of the cast is relatively unknown. However, every one of the four main characters sparkles, and the interplay between them makes About Adam entertaining throughout. Hudson plays Lucy Owens, a nightclub singer with a knack for being unlucky in love. Her luck changes when she meets Adam (newcomer Stuart Townsend), whose sexy, mysterious performance invokes comparisons to Jude Law. Adam gives Lucy everything she has always wanted...

The night before the event, she dreamed she was sinking in Styrofoam. "I knew I was going to have to speak at the reading, and I thought that the writers may not have voted for George...
Ensconced at New York City's Gramercy Tavern for the past six years, Fleming, 41, is renowned for her deceptively simple multipart desserts that rely on seasonal ingredients and the subtle interplay of temperatures, textures and flavors. Instead of serving an ordinary tarte Tatin with creme fraiche, for example, Fleming makes a miniature version and pairs it with a tiny cheesecake and a "napoleon" made of alternating layers of green-apple chips and green-apple sorbet. The result juxtaposes "hot vs. cold, crunchy vs. creamy, sweet vs. not sweet," she explains...
