...Warner Brothers)4/5 StarsWhen listening to the new “Rent” soundtrack, the first thing diehard fans will try to ascertain is whether the new recording is unique enough to merit an addition to their collection, right next to the 1996 recording by the original Broadway cast. The uninitiated may wonder what all the fuss is about and which soundtrack album they should get. “Rent” fans were overjoyed when the Justin Timberlake casting rumors were denied and it was announced that Chris Colombus’ long-awaited film version of Jonathan Larson?...
...giving a false confession is precisely what the three sailors say they did do. In their Nov. 10 petition to outgoing Virginia Governor Mark Warner, Danial Williams, Derek Tice and Joseph Dick Jr. claim that after Norfolk homicide detectives subjected them to hours of harsh and manipulative questioning, they fabricated elaborate details of a rape and murder that they had absolutely nothing to do with.

A decade later, on the critically-acclaimed “Ray of Light,” she boogied to Buddhism. In 2003, she changed her musical...
...practical level, Benator may be one of the best hopes Virginia Democrats have in the next election cycle. If Affleck is able to mount a relatively successful campaign, he will not only keep George Allen from receiving the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, but he will also allow Mark Warner – certainly Virginia’s and one of the nation’s strongest Democrats – to save his money and energy for 2008. And that’s all assuming that Affleck loses. Though Benator will almost certainly result in a technical loss...
