...when he was 34 years old and had been showing in galleries for about a decade, Richard Tuttle had a major exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. A big show at a New York City museum can be career making. Or it can play out the way his did. Tuttle was working with the humble materials he favors to this day--wire, string, bits of Styrofoam, matches, scraps of plywood and cardboard--which he lightly assembled into strange little delicacies.

Take singer Bobby Brown and wife Whitney Houston: she just got out of rehab; two members of his entourage were stabbed at a restaurant last week. In Being Bobby Brown (debuts June 30), we meet them in the middle of a marital-bonding experience: his court hearing for allegedly beating her, a charge that Houston has denied. (We learn that their daughter gets out of school on daddy's "court days," like other kids do on snow days.) Brown has said he signed up for the show to counter...
