...native Canada, Colorado Avalanche goaltender PATRICK ROY is Michael Jordan and Brad Pitt rolled into one giant protective plastic shell. But what Roy (pronounced Wah) accomplished last week made headlines even in a country with actual news.

...Crowe had pursued Meryl Streep to play his mother. "I played all these Meryl Streep movies, and I played Neil Young to her silent shots, and I thought, How great!" he explains. Streep turned him down, making room for McDormand. Then, shortly before filming began last year, Brad Pitt--Crowe's choice to play Russell Hammond--opted out, and Crudup took over. "He was so lucky that the big stars he wanted for this movie ended up not doing it," says David Geffen, a partner in DreamWorks, which is releasing the film, and a friend of Crowe's since...
