...MOULIN ROUGE A never-prettier Nicole Kidman entrances hunkily soulful Ewan McGregor in an orgasmic swirl of color, design and pop music from mad Aussie Baz Luhrmann. In the age of Media Cool, this recklessly romantic burst of kinetic excess offended nice sensibilities (see next page) even as it launched other viewers into rapture. I'm with the rapt. The movie asks, Moulin Rouge-ez avec moi ce soir? I say, Sure. All night long...
...tenor whose self-titled CD has hit the States, is here to sell his brand of "melodious, romantic pop opera." Achieving crossover success is tricky, but Safina is on the right track. "I like music with passion," he says, "Rachmaninoff, Puccini...U2."

Jeunet travels the road of excess, telling dozens of peripheral tales, cueing American tunes from the '40s to play in a '90s Paris cafe, working...
...they grinded with Lil’ Kim too. Mike A. Hill `02 made an appearance as the “bad-ass chick from the Moulin Rouge.” As he explained, “The theme was simple, Lil’ Kim comes to a Harvard dance. Bearing in mind the ‘chaste’ theme,” he continued, “I wore thigh-high fuck-me boots with the nothing-but-slit-skirt, a subtle but effective ensemble combining unadulterated innocence and attitude...
