When the going gets weird, as Hunter S. Thompson observed, the weird turn pro. And next year?s race to represent New York in the U.S. Senate seat is shaping up to be one weird puppy. Undeclared candidate Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Tuesday launched his most concerted campaigning tour yet ?- in Little Rock, Ark. As political theater, it gets rave reviews, but the witty jab at carpetbagging has worn a little thin, with Giuliani repeatedly saying things like "I?ve never lived here, I?ve never worked here, I?ve never gone to school here...

Now it seems he may consider portraying the original cape man himself, Liberace. Depp's agent confirms only that the actor has read a script based on the flamboyant pianist's life, but a revised version is currently being overseen by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, with whom Depp worked on Ed Wood.
