...More ironies abound. Marie is a woman who looks like a sweet and frail schoolteacher but willingly accepts a lewd offer from a stranger, fantasizes about working in a headless whore factory, and derives visceral pleasure in gynocological exams. While reminiscent of Luis Bunuel's Belle du Jour, concerning the kinky desires of an angelic Gallic heroine, Breillat's film is less mysterious but considerably more graphic and disturbing...
...novelist has been a model, and mortal, parent. So says her son CHRIS RICE, who's entering the hair-raising world of publishing himself. Rice is among the "Hot Pop 30" profiled in Interview magazine's upcoming 30th anniversary issue, all of whom were captured by photographer-du-jour David LaChapelle. Rice began writing when Anne was hospitalized last December after being found to have diabetes. "I had to get my mind off Mom," he says. He showed his novel to his father, who told him, "This is going to change your life." It seems the transformation has already begun...

...former foreign minister, ex-KGB spymaster and sometime prime minister announced Tuesday he would head up the broad Fatherland-All Russia coalition just formed by Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov. With Yeltsin having promised to step down in 2000 but looking to install a chosen successor (possibly prime minister du jour Vladimir Putin), Primakov's candid 10-minute speech ?- remarkably full of detail for a Russian politician ?- was aimed squarely at citizens frustrated by their current leader?s bombastic incoherence. If Primakov were into sound bites, it would have been: I knew Boris Yeltsin, and I?m no Boris Yeltsin...
