...Plant, 49, both former members of the '70s megagroup Led Zeppelin, seem to amuse each other constantly. It's nothing verbal, nothing too overt--nonetheless, when you meet them, there always seems to be a smile playing about their lips as if they were both in on a secret joke.

...might've thought you were finally rid of him when STP ditched him to go on to greatness with...Talk Show. Well, he's back, with his own album, 12 Bar Blues, the joke being that the album is nothing like 12 bar blues, ha-ha. Let the record run through your CD player once, and the first word most likely to jump into your head...

...constantly figuratively), only to find that they were actually in her purse all along. Stone is thoroughly funny, assuming endearing drunkenness without lessening her character's dignity. She is complemented by the similarly aunt-like character, Alex, played by Mark Field-Marsham '99, who himself emanates a perpetual joke in the lilting updrafts of his scolding voice...
