Jason Alexander: Not all that close. I knew the neighborhood, I knew the people they were my grandparents and my aunts. I didn't grow up with a Lenny and I had an attitude in some ways of being Lenny-ish as a kid, but it was not my heart and soul. But the element of the film that really got me is the father/son story that lies underneath. It's not so much Lenny looking for sexuality as Lenny looking for himself...

...rather, "Bette." The diva-ish drama queen Midler plays fuses the real woman's resume--a famous singer- actress who started out singing in New York City's gay bathhouses, starred in Beaches and so on--with the persona of the Divine Miss M, the blowsy, flighty, attention-craving alter ego Midler created in her stage shows. "Bette" blitzes her way through the series, to the bemusement and exhaustion of her family and support group: her professor husband (Kevin Dunn), her teenage daughter (Marina Malota), her manager (Joanna Gleason) and her fussy British accompanist (James Dreyfus). "You can't have...

In Austria, David Duke-ish politico JORG HAIDER, left, has cut a rap track called Carinthia Has One Heart, a break-beatin' homage to the beauty of the Austrian region and to his erstwhile constituency in the Far Right Freedom Party, which, for those of you who read only the People page, is not a lighthearted group. Haider's rhymes about Austrian natural beauty will be compiled on an album later this year, with proceeds going...

...heart-melting romance with guy talk for the fellas and a mellow alt-rock sound track, Ed fits the 30-ish heterosexual-couple demographic like a comfy pair of Dockers. Maybe too much so: funny but safe, it's TV's answer to the date movie. But the laid-back Cavanagh is winning as a Quixote determined to win his love by making "a complete ass" of himself. He's the male version of the beautiful blond with glasses--a handsome guy we can pretend will have to work to get the girl. Whether you hail from Springfield or Soho...
