...wide-eyed little girl who befriended E.T. 16 years ago, which qualifies her as a sort of cool elder sister for the new group of Hollywood teens. With a stream of increasingly grownup movie parts, she's not a bad role model. After a 1996 cameo in Scream and a perky co-starring role in The Wedding Singer, she stars in Ever After, a sweet feminist remake of Cinderella that opens this weekend, and plays a pregnant fast-food clerk in the quirky black comedy Home Fries, coming later this year. She makes a reported $3 million a picture...
...operates at a decibel level bordering on OSHA's mandatory ear-protection threshold, a one-man surround-sound. He and Gates, who became fast friends in 1973 during their freshman year at Harvard, have always enjoyed what they refer to as a "high bandwidth" relationship; it means they can scream at each other but are still able to listen and respond. "We fairly well anticipate what the other guy is thinking, and can finish each other's sentences," says Ballmer of his 25-year relationship with Gates.

"The teenage population is growing faster than any other segment," says Paramount executive Rob Friedman, "and their tastes are more sophisticated than they used to be." They go for hip variations on old themes, flocking to the two Scream films (each earned more than $100 million at the domestic box office) or to a canny thriller like last year's I Know What You Did Last Summer, starring Hewitt and Buffy's Sarah Michelle Gellar (which grossed $72 million on a $17 million budget...
...million, but since it cost only around $10 million, everyone got to see some green. Everyone but the actors. "The teen genre is a godsend to studios, because they can use a bunch of young people in the place of one $20 million star," says Cary Woods, who produced Scream. "And the kids don't get gross percentages, so the studios get nice profits." It's not as if these kids were cobbling Nikes in China--$50,000 to $150,000 is decent pay for a summer job--but young TV stars are the best buy in Hollywood...
