...they're over, and now he's spilling his guts in a new book, Mr. S. The highlights? Sinatra's affair with then underage Natalie Wood; third wife Mia Farrow's annoying him by talking to her deaf cat Malcolm in sign language; J.F.K.'s snorting coke with Peter Lawford; and the Chairman's donning special underwear--"a cross between a panty girdle and a jock strap"--to restrain his massive, uh, endowment. Guess there's such a thing as being too Frank...

Sussman did take pains to be sensitive, ordering that all the Nazi uniforms and props be burned after shooting, so none would end up on eBay. In one case, the powers behind...
Barbara Novak (Renee Zellweger), author of the best-selling semifeminist screed Down with Love, is on a collision course with rakish journalist Catcher Block (Ewan McGregor). She thinks he's a pig; he thinks she's a prig. Abetted by their respective editors, Vikki Hiller (Sarah Paulson) and Peter MacMannus (David Hyde Pierce), they parry, gavotte and dissemble: Catcher pretends to be a rube astronaut; Barbara pretends to be...well, we can't give away the plot...
