...whole ordeal of making the film seems to have produced--dare we say it?--yet another Madonna, softer, more chastened. Or maybe just more calculated. The former shock mistress brought tears to Oprah Winfrey's studio audience when she described feeling her baby kicking on Mother's Day. Department stores may be pushing the dolled-up "Evita look," but Madonna has switched to pastel colors, soft makeup and a demure, Catholic-schoolgirl hairstyle. (She donned the Evita look for the film's Hollywood premiere, but otherwise, she says, "it's something for special occasions. You're not going...
Havel's play often blurs the line between fantasy and reality, weaving back and forth in time as it tells the story of the frustrated "social scientist" Dr. Eduard Huml and the women in his life. As Huml's relationships with his wife, mistress and secretary spin out of control, so does the play.

...filthiest studio I have ever seen," said a 1908 visitor to the Bateau Lavoir in Montmartre, where Picasso worked and lived with his mistress-model Fernande Olivier. Indeed, Picasso's ramshackle tenement had no gas or electricity and only one water tap and a rudimentary toilet. But the studio was an often riotous gathering place for "la bande a Picasso," a self-dubbed group of poets--including Guillaume Apollinaire and Max Jacob--attracted to the Spanish artist's creative orbit. Picasso showed these friends his paintings. One--a large work that absorbed him for six months--elicited only embarrassed silence...
