...already taken on angoraphile filmmaker Ed Wood and gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. 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. The screenwriters, no strangers to eccentricity, have also penned biopics on Hustler publisher Larry Flynt and oddball comic Andy Kaufman. Remember, Johnny, don't get too close to the candelabra when wearing...
...Fame in Cooperstown, Rudy was doing the real thing, shouting, "Let's play ball!" to a group of children who swamped the mayor for autographs on their baseballs and shirts. Maybe it was all those free tickets he was giving away, or maybe it was this kinder, gentler version of Rudy, tossing grounders to the kids and giving them a chance to bat, that won them over.

Wherever the team went in those days, the hero that girls sought out was Hamm, now 27, whose speed and finesse still give defenders the shakes. As the team's best known player--a distaff version of Michael Jordan--she had the burden of not only scoring goals but also being Miss Publicity. A self-described emotional child from a military family who lost an older brother to a rare blood disease (and still wears his initials on her soccer shoes), Hamm found the soccer field...
...skills were surprisingly rusty. During that first show, as I jerked the text back and forth through the camera, the rippling host became increasingly agitated, and gave me a firm scolding while the set crew and production team waited for Take 13. The speech repeated itself in a abridged version during Show 2, and in an even shorter shorter version during Show 3, but, somehow, by Show 4, I had found my rhythm, and was handling my new friend, the tele-prompter joystick, with the skill of any of the characters in the movie American Pie.
