...Levine's U-turn comes after an FDA report fingered the medication as a possible cause of heart-valve deformities in some Redux users. Levine said there was no evidence the drug caused heart damage when the book first rolled off the presses. It's unclear if the book will stay on sale...
...once met Terrence Malick in a bar and told him, "Give me a dollar and point the way," he is now acting in The Thin Red Line, Malick's first film since the 1978 Days of Heaven. This fall Penn will topline in two other major movies, Stone's U-Turn and David (Seven) Fincher's The Game.

...twentysomethings entered the decade floundering in the job market, did they deserve to be labeled dazed and confused? They had come of age after the U.S. took what some economists call the great U-turn. Energy prices first soared in 1973, and workers' wages stagnated.

"Suddenly I was confronted with a Swiss story of major proportions, one with intrigue, human drama and historical scope." The tale...
...Gibson and Tom Cruise are vocal fans of the film, and Thornton's fellow Arkansan Bill Clinton is expected to screen it at the White House soon. A perennial supporting player, Thornton is now getting fat roles in A pictures: as Sean Penn's nemesis in Oliver Stone's U-Turn and as James Carville, more or less, in the Mike Nichols film Primary Colors. "He's a redneck artist," says Nichols. "Like Nicholson, Travolta and Whoopi Goldberg, he can play street characters with enormous intellect. He has a genius for connecting with people...
