...Grant's new reality show is so sweet that you may need to brush and floss after watching it. In the pilot for Three Wishes, making its debut this fall on NBC, the Christian-pop singer and a crew visit a small California town to do three life-changing deeds. They arrange an operation for a girl whose skull was shattered in a car accident. They help a boy get adopted. And they build a new football field in honor of a high school coach with leukemia. Grant dispenses hugs by the bushel, sheds tears and pulls out her guitar...
...late Jazz Klezz session. Californian trumpeter Paul Brody leads the festival's performers in a jam until dawn at Alchemia, one of Krakow's hot spots.

Brown, an actor on TV shows like Brewster Place and Roc, recorded such albums as 1960's Sin & Soul ... and Then Some and produced the stage revue Opportunity, Please Knock, employing high-profile gang members in the cast. "I wanted to present a picture of black culture," he said, "to anyone who could hear...
Coldplay should be commended for its ambition, but it's worth noting that X&Y has a serious problem-or rather a problem with seriousness. While Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion took inspiration from the U2 of The Unforgettable Fire, lead singer Chris Martin appears to have made the terrible mistake of shooting for Bono circa Rattle and Hum. It's not Martin's choice of subject matter-he rarely digresses into politics while he's singing, although he's an advocate for fair trade when he's not-but his tone. He wants to teach...
