...detective is the love interest for Berry's Catwoman, who is both villainess and heroine. "She's not Superman," Berry says. "She's not trying to save the world." Instead, like a pampered house pet, Berry says, "Catwoman is out to save herself." Could be quite a purr-formance...
Zellweger stars as Roxie Hart--a doe-eyed jazz-age babe who goes on trial for killing her extramarital lover and becomes a media darling in the process. And, yes, she can sing--and so can her unlikely co-stars. Catherine Zeta-Jones' sultry Welsh purr masks a singing voice that is pure Broadway belt, and the moment she opens her mouth with the familiar first song, All That Jazz, the movie takes flight.

But now the refrain applies equally well to ceos, whose stays at the top are getting...
...coprophagous grin--a character perilously close to Rob Schneider's needy-nerdy copy-machine guy on Saturday Night Live years ago. (Similarly, O'Connor looks so much like the younger Kathie Lee Gifford that she could be accused of face-lifting.) Hurley slinks through her role with the purr and swagger of a dominatrix in the Profumo years. Her lithe body has the sexy lines that are often missing from the script of this underachieving immorality play...
