...Broadway is getting pretty blase about the big names from Hollywood--Nicole Kidman, Helen Hunt, Christian Slater--who keep showing up to prove they're more than just flickers on a screen. Harrelson is not a stranger to New York City theater (his first break was as an understudy in Neil Simon's Biloxi Blues in 1984), but he's far better known as a star of TV (Cheers) and film (Natural Born Killers). So can he cut it as the eponymous con man of N. Richard Nash's 1954 drama, being revived by the Roundabout Theatre? It's this...
Last year, outside a pizza joint, University of Utah student Mike Orthner says, "I asked a stranger for a light, and he said, 'We don't believe in that.'" Next thing Orthner knew, he was clocked with brass knuckles, and "some wacko" was waving a sword. Assault charges against Randy, who claimed he "didn't hit anybody with it," were dropped for lack of evidence...

That's Tricky, the prince of trip-hop, and a dues-paying member of the musical avant-garde. In his mesmerizing new album he collaborates with hip-hoppers DJ Muggs (of Cypress Hill) and Grease.

Few people who know Ford believe he is hiding a great secret about that decision, or about anything else. He is a stranger to guile. Just last week he was chuckling again over the most famous line he uttered as President: "My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over." It was not his line, and he almost rejected...
Which would be much like his house. Dick's house is like Andy Warhol's Factory, only for stranger people. He is so sure someone will always be there--usually performers and musicians, in addition to his 19-year-old girlfriend--that he doesn't have his own set of keys. Dick's 11-year-old son, the child's mother and her boyfriend live downstairs, and his other two younger children by a different ex-girlfriend also live in L.A. Dick says he is heterosexual except when he is drinking. Outside his house are a trampoline, an Airstream trailer...
