...film poster on one couple's wall is for Le Mepris. In English that's contempt--the operative tone in this spiky new farce from the perp of In the Company of Men. A La Ronde for our own fin de siecle, the film offers six yuppies having lots of sex. But no one has much fun. Sex, as one of the women (Catherine Keener, who kills with sarcasm) says, "is not a time for sharing." Jason Patric is the chief sleaze; Ben Stiller adds to his gallery of wormy guys; and Aaron Eckhart is the doleful husband who, when...
Take, for example, Hong Kong-born Yat-Ming Judith Leung, valedictorian of the class of '98 at Nova High School in Davie, Fla.

Credit came to So in the form of a check blown up poster-size to look like the jackpot in a Publishers Clearing House commercial. He pledged to donate part of the money to the Ennis William Cosby Foundation. "I'm not an angel," he said. "But I'm not as bad as many people like to think...
...stretch Speedo slippers. No matter that a toupee, capped teeth and a partly unbuttoned shirt reveal a touch of vanity. At 73, the man best known for playing prophets and warriors is embracing a new role with gusto: president of the 127-year-old National Rifle Association. As poster pinup for America's muscular gun lobby, he isn't expected to do "nice...
