...live it. Since our reality is at present so incomprehensible, maybe we need that kind of narrative logic now. That, anyway, is how Hollywood is betting this fall. From Ray (Charles, that is) to Che (Guevara), we are going to see a lot of real people--all male, natch--battling their way to triumph or martyrdom. Jamie Foxx is perfectly cast as the singer overcoming blindness and addiction on his way to becoming an icon. Colin Farrell too seems freakishly right--with the possible exception of the hair--as the charismatic, ambitious Alexander the Great in Oliver Stone's Alexander...

...shown up at previews; newspaper columnists are virtually ordering readers to get tickets before it's too late; and Bloomingdale's is getting set to open Hairspray-inspired boutiques in five of its stores nationwide. The shops will sell '60s-era clothes (including plus sizes), cosmetics, wigs and even (natch) hair spray. They'll almost certainly do better than Bloomie's last Broadway tie-in: a boutique featuring clothes from the flop musical Sweet Smell of Success...
