...tapping my pen to the beat. Nevermind the fact that I lack the graceful swanlike legs of a dancer, can’t count a beat, and have enormous, boat-like feet. “Cultural Rhythms” just does that to you; it makes you want to sing along, to get up and dance, to join the beat.“Cultural Rhythms,” an annual showcase of talent from Harvard’s diverse student groups, featured 28 different performances this Saturday. Every year, the Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations, which sponsors...
...real Bette Midler, chantootsie extraordinaire, got the crowd to sing along with "The Rose" while waving their cell phones like cigarette lighters at a '60s concert.

Though entrepreneurship at Harvard is nothing new, multiple creative ventures are refreshing. Especially when they are coming from a sweet office on Mass...
...Theater off-the-cuff. Instead, the same crowds of stars descended upon the L.A. landmark for the hours-long affair that has of late become synonymous with cringe-worthy musical numbers and ludicrously unnecessary movie montages. This year proved no exception. Pity the lovely Amy Adams, forced to awkwardly sing her way through “Happy Working Song” and to dance with a Ken Doll come alive during “So Close.” At least Kristen Chenoweth got carried off stage during her musical moment. And then there were the montages?...
