...long disappearance and gradual, Pee-wee-free return has made him more palatable, and Reubens is eager to regain his manic pace. Two weeks ago, he taped an episode of Ally McBeal in which he tries to sue Sting for breaking up his marriage to Cheri Oteri, and last Tuesday he guested on the Tonight Show. He is going to be host of You Don't Know Jack, a game show for ABC. He talks about wanting to remake the Eddie Cantor movie Kid Millions and writing his autobiography. He's also still pushing the variety show-sitcom Meet...
Except Cross does not do all that much profiling in this movie, which is surprisingly short on psychology and long on just about everything else. Conveniently knocked out of "retirement" after his partner is killed in an excruciatingly melodramatic sting-operation-gone-wrong, Cross goes through all the moves in tracking down Soneji. But we are never given any hint that Cross is actually probing the depths of Soneji's brain and trying to figure out how he works.

...Academy also has a tradition of honoring significant artists long past their prime. So the nominees as composers in the Song category included Bob Dylan ('60s), Randy Newman ('70s), Sting ('80s) and Bjork (summer of '93).

I love the stuff Sting does, because he also has that feeling in his music. I actually think it's easier to write a beautiful melody in minor than in major. A happy song is great, but I think the songs you remember are when you're sad. It's not that I'm a sad person. Not at all. That's just my taste in music. There...
...plump hips. She leans over the man's rump, rubs a furry cheek for aim, cocks her hand a good meter back and delivers a thunderclap wallop. Then she slings a high-heeled boot over his back and, straddling his haunches, spanks and rubs in rapid succession: hot sting, warm caress, hot sting again. Without missing a stroke, she looks up at a visitor and explains with a broad smile: "This is his ideal lunchtime...
