...would end up costing them $20 million to perform four dates at home. The Stones will tour Britain eventually, just as soon as that new financial year rocks around, in June 1999, when they will be taxed on those dates alone. "I was tempted to bite the bullet," said Mick Jagger to an outraged British press, "but I'm not the only one affected...
...after hours. Escamillo, her bullfighting boyfriend, looks as if he's been getting fashion tips from Wayne Newton's tailor. The orchestra is seated onstage, midway between five video screens and six hydraulic lifts; the conductor wears a leather vest, and the director's credits include a stint as Mick Jagger's choreographer. And everybody is miked, from the tenor to the timpani player...

Painter Lucian Freud, who has turned down offers to paint Queen Elizabeth and Pope John Paul II (and has had one of his pieces sold at auction for $5.8 million), painted the statuesque wife of MICK JAGGER. Best known for disturbing portraits of fleshy naked women, Sigmund's grandson shows the leggy Texan both pregnant and with her then infant son. The paintings will be premiered at London's Tate Gallery on Wednesday...

A tattered carpet and ratty furniture, well-worn books and food wrapped in aluminum foil surround the actors and evoke a well-kept but obviously lived-in living room. The center of the home and scene of most action, the living room, is like its inhabitants: a little worn, a little sad. The crucial placement of the television sets, necessary for Enda's frequent videotaped posthumous speeches, is well-conceived. The family TV set faces the actors; unobtrusive monitors above either side of the stage broadcast Enda...
