...Dragon opens with a scene borrowed from the Lambs novel, in which Lecter serves a musician to his unwitting dinner guests, and ends with an oblique reference to Starling. Lecter's cell from Lambs has also been re-created by production designer Kristi Zea. The references didn't come cheap, since the movie rights to Lambs still belong to MGM. This time, Universal avoided litigation by offering MGM a share of Red Dragon's box office...
...Once a musician is described as a "bad boy icon," his 15 minutes of fame tend to be up. So why is EMI betting the farm on Robbie Williams, the British crooner and former "fat dancer" from Take That who has sold a respectable but unspectacular 692,000 records in the U.S.? Williams's new deal is estimated at around $90 million, the largest ever for a British artist. In part, EMI is playing to the global market; Williams has sold nearly 20 million records worldwide since 1996. But the company has been burned before: in 2001, it signed Mariah...

Satchidananda attracted hundreds of om-chanting followers, including the '60s psychedelic artist Peter Max, musician Carole King and heart doctor Dean Ornish...
...comix. Here McKean's visual prowess justifies the metaphysical themes. "Cages" mostly takes place in an apartment building that Leo Sabarsky, a painter, has just moved into. There he meets Jonathan Rush, a secretive, Salman Rushdie-like writer whose latest book incites riots. Completing the traditional arts, Angel, a musician who can make stones sing, lives there too. Mixing Ingmar Bergman with Monty Python, strange, vaguely metaphorical characters pop in and out. Pudgy, bowler-hatted men regularly visit the writer to collect anything that he loves, giving them over to a mad doctor who dissects the objects, looking for their...
