...laugh. And right now, he's the funniest man in America. Dick Gregory calls Rock "a genius." Saturday Night Live executive producer Lorne Michaels says, "There's always one comic a whole generation imitates. Chris dominates now. There's no one as good." Then again, Jerry Seinfeld, a pal of Rock's, says this about Rock's hip-hopping in-your-face style: "It's the yelling that makes it special. It's very easy to hear what he's saying. Beyond that, I don't see anything special about it." Among comics, such joking put-downs are the ultimate...

He was particularly pleased with the price ($229). I waited, for cruel effect, then asked, "Is it too late to return it?" I am such a blowhard...
...stunt butt was needed for this model turned actress, whose sultry looks and good-natured smirk helped establish her as the gal-pal of choice to such aging screen heroes as Clint Eastwood (In the Line of Fire), Kevin Costner (Tin Cup) and Dustin Hoffman (Outbreak). "There's a sense of ease working with her because she doesn't take herself too seriously," says Mel Gibson, who co-starred with Russo in two Lethal Weapon sequels as well as the kidnapping drama Ransom. Although Russo jokes about her recurring roles as sidekick to mature macho men, she's easygoing enough...
