...Baby," "Lazy River," "Irresistible You") to original pop stuff ("I?ll Be There," "Multiplication"). A 1973 concert, available on video as "Bobby Darin: Mack Is Back," shows that Darin finally got his wish: if not to be Sinatra, then at least to do him. There he is in his tux, tie eventually unraveled in the Sinatra style, singing some of his old hits and a few of other people?s. Ladies and gentlemen, Bobby Darin -a premature Vegas oldies act. Alas, he never got to become a true oldie. He had suffered from rheumatic fever as a child...
...with a provocative slit up her dress who wins ribald cheers from the audience when she sings about a construction worker who goes insane practicing Falun Gong. In Act II, an opera troupe sings about a practitioner who burns himself alive. For the closer, a man in a white tux, red bow tie, studded cowboy boots and an Elvis pompadour croons: "Li Hongzhi is a poisonous snake." No one in the audience has come freely.

At his Toronto concert a voice cried out, "I love you, Leslie!"; he said, "I love you too, whether you're a boy or a girl." The line happens to be one he delivered in He's a Woman...
...says Culkin. "But I'm not going to go down that route." Sure, there's been some weird kid behavior. He dyed his hair purple and, when he got his first credit card, bought "a whole bunch of stupid stuff that I didn't even really want," like a tux-and-tails outfit, complete with top hat and monocle. But life is hardly simple for a boy who became the world's most recognizable 10-year-old with the success of Home Alone. Even now he has "a semi-fear of the outdoors" and rarely goes out to movies ("sometimes...
