...Some say Martin showed up in Lewis's most coherent film, The Nutty Professor, in 1963. A vamp on the Jekyll-Hyde story, it has Jer as ultra-nerd Julius Kelp, who sports goofy bangs (the following year they'd be cool, when the Beatles wore them), prominent teeth, and thick glasses - your basic Mo Rocca look. In love with adorable student Stella Stevens, Julius evolves chemically into Buddy Love, a stud crooner with hair glistening like a patent leather handbag. But this doppelganger was not the lush, uncaring satyr Dino (Martin played that role the following year in Billy...
...Kitt was most comfortable in her first home, the cabaret. At Manhattan's Cafe Carlyle, where she played regularly, she showed that, even in her 70s, her seductive charm was intact. (The proof is in her last recording, Eartha Kitt, Live at the Carlyle.) There she would vamp her way through the maze of tables, cozying up to a new generation of sugar daddies - or maybe the same old one - and singing her hits from a half-century before as if she were still the hot young sensation, still a kitten on the keys...
...This is because the track listings for these mixes are available online.Justice’s Essential Mix is an uninterrupted two-hour set in which the group weaves and patches together over 70 different songs from slightly fewer artists.

...acuities of this smart, sweet, bordering-on-adorable romantic comedy is its awareness that by senior year, teens have been stuck for so long in their designated roles - nerd, vamp, rebel hottie - that they feel like indentured servants to them. The most agreeable myth of the movie, directed by Peter Sollett and scripted by Lorene Scafaria, from a novel by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, is that spending a night in New York City can crack the shell of stereotype to reveal your utterly cool inner life to someone who turns out to be your soul mate. For Nick, that...
Amid this setup we meet Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), a small-town Louisiana bar waitress with her own supernatural issues. She can read people's minds, making daily life a minefield of too much information. When the bar gets its first vamp visitor, 173-year-old Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), she takes a shine to him, not just for his smoky looks or his undead-Confederate-soldier courtliness: to her relief, she can't read his thoughts. Their romance unnerves her friends and coworkers, though, particularly when women start turning up dead with twin puncture wounds...
