...whopping 400%, to $15,500 a month. And that was only half the space's market value. The studio is the latest victim of rocketing rents--six other dance studios in the area will have hung up their shoes by this November, and 2,000 musicians, including Chris Isaak and Faith No More, just got evicted when the city's largest rehearsal space was sold. But it's not just artists who are feeling the squeeze. Residential real estate is nothing short of insane: $465,400 is the median San Francisco house price, up nearly 30% from a year...
Kubrick's opening is so numbingly boring that he almost loses his audience before the real plot kicks in. The scene that actually rekindles the audience's attention is the one we've been watching for months: the couple stroke each other in front of a mirror while Chris Isaak's perfect "Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing" messes with the tone of the moment. Though Kidman and Cruise don't have sex on-screen (what a tease!), the short scene is wonderful because it is so loaded. Combine Kidman's glances into the mirror, her height advantage over Cruise...
Trends come and go, stars wink and fade out. How long will this new crop hold out? "It's impossible to predict who will be a pop star forever," says Wayne Isaak, executive vice president of music and talent for VH1.

They were poised to reverse any preconceptions about 10-year-old singers that we might have formed during our own disjointed renditions of The Twelve Days of Christmas and O Come All Ye Faithful in primary school. As the Vienna Choir Boys performed a sophisticated repertoire of Haydn, Isaak, Bruckner, Schubert, Salieri and Mozart, they brought fifth graders to rare musical heights. But while the concert was supposed to promote the talent of child singers, it might have inadvertently done something else--and affirmed the supremacy of adults...
Their second selection, Heinrich Isaak's Motet Virgo Prudentissima, seemed by contrast to start off with redemption. In a slower, more contemplative tempo, the choir boys looked ready to shine. Without being drowned out by the older choir, the sopranos and altos united in the production of haunting, luscious strains that, for a fleeting moment, transmogrified Symphony Hall into St. Peter's Basilica. But once the basses and tenors in the older choir joined in, the younger choir boys lost their nerve. This led to technical difficulty between the sopranos and basses. Ideally, their voice parts should have slid over...
