Coming to every theater near you on May 4: Spider-Man 3. (The first two films about the Marvel Comics kid with the gooey arms took in $1.6 billion worldwide.) Then on May 18, Shrek the Third. (Total gross of the first two chapters: $1.4 billion.) And a week later, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. (The first two earned more than $1.7 billion.) That's close to $5 billion for the six movies, not including the really easy money in DVD revenue. How big the bucks for Take 3 in each of the gigan-chises...

This is a meticulous Christmas album: you'll hear rarely used intros and second choruses to go along with the excellent sax solos and samplings of faux Mozart. Like his singers, Spector was still a kid in 1963; he turned 23 the day after Christmas. And he still had sensational work ahead ("River Deep Mountain High'). But the Wall of Sound never got better than this...
What’s in a name?A quick internet search tells me that mine might refer to anything from Scottish nobility to an Australian Olympian to a small town in Iowa. In pop culture, I’ve been everything from a mathematician to a dysfunctional kid genius to a dead child psychologist.But after nearly two decades, my name—unique spelling and all—is something that has become a part of who I am. A name isn’t something that should be changed on a whim or disregarded, and it?...
