STING, UNLIKE BOY GEORGE AND David Lee Roth, will never be an answer to such trivia questions as, "Name a lead singer from an '80s megaband who went on to have a disappointing solo career." Sting has managed to stay relevant--and popular--by continuing to create gently innovative music that borrows from other sources so wisely and so well that the resulting sound is truly his own. "I'm interested in impure music," says Sting. "Pure rock, pure jazz or pure anything just doesn't interest me. This is the game I play." In that spirit...
...winner is...not James Cromwell, who was one of the few people in "Babe" (unless there's a surprise "Babe" sweep), not Tim Roth (I didn't see "Rob Roy," did you?), perhaps Brad Pitt--he left his pretty boy roles behind, donned brown contact lenses to cover up those baby blues and played a crazy animal rights activist in "12 Monkeys."

Roth, professor of architectural history at the University of Oregon, are drafting a letter to Rudenstine asking him to halt the construction on the Union until there can be further discussion over the plans, Shand-Tucci said...
...SABBATH'S THEATER by Philip Roth (Houghton Mifflin) explores the beginnings of geezerhood (Roth's resolutely obnoxious hero, Mickey Sabbath, is a randy 64) with some of the same comic sexual energy that set readers goggling in Portnoy's Complaint. Sabbath is an ex-puppeteer whose present occupation is perfecting his scabrous personality. As he searches his disorderly past for meaning, largely without success, he is an equal-opportunity boor, richly offensive to women, men, Jews and Gentiles. Yet the result is a brilliantly written character, rampaging through a novel about facing death in a lonely...
