...Nana. But to Abdul Wadood, a 20-year-old Muslim friend who also met Walker at the Mill Valley mosque, John sounded fulfilled. Through his e-mail communications, he told Wadood he felt "free" because he didn't have any material possessions. Wadood says his friend never experienced culture shock because he was so "open-minded." But Walker may have also been a bit too trusting. He just "let anybody in," says Wadood...
...more like a minor-league, ski-bum tour. To go from the luxury of the national team--where coaches, technicians and handlers cater to an athlete's every need--to the penury of the pro tour--which features X Games-inspired short-course, head-to-head races--was a shock, one Schlopy thought he needed.

And there was also prankster auteur Spike Jonze, the man behind Bjork's "It's Oh So Quiet" (a video that explodes into a technicolor musical), the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" (a take-off on '70s TV cop shows...
...Aaliyah's last role will shock some of her fans because it's such a contrast to her "sweet but street" image. "The Queen of the Damned" was filmed in and around Melbourne, Australia. The first scene Aaliyah shot was a striking one. Her character goes into a vampire bar, flirts outrageously with some of the patrons, ends up ripping one poor guy's heart out, and then goes on to incinerate the rest of the clientele.
