Flirting With Success
As the son of a TV icon--his father is James Brolin--Josh Brolin has been knocking around showbiz all his life, and acting nearly that long. After his big-screen debut at 17 in The Goonies, he starred in the "The Young Riders" on TV. Lately, he's been back on screen in higher-visibility films, Bed of Roses and Flirting With Disaster. In the latter, he set hearts afire as Tony, the bisexual ATF agent who seduces Patricia Arquette's armpits.
Sweet Charity
Hollywood's best bad girl, Sharon Stone, reveals that she's always been good, "on the inside." Which is why she's made a commitment to raise $76 million for AmFAR. Here Stone lays out her plan to get you (yes, you) involved, clarifies exactly what she won't do for money, and reads us a poem she's written about God's love.
The Ten Best-Dressed Actresses in Hollywood
Frankly, we usually find it a lot more enlightening to study terribly dressed actresses, but in the interests of Hollywood's new dedication to higher style, we have done our humanitarian duty and here present Movieline's first-ever list of Tinseltown's ten best-dressed actresses (in no particular order).
Costume Jewels
We asked 30 top fashion designers-from Tom Ford and Vera Wang to Giorgio Armani and Oscar de la Renta-to recall a movie costume they loved, were inspired by, or just plain can't forget.
StarStyle
The road to looking like a movie star is as mysterious and hazardous as the road to becoming one. Freshly arrived Sandra Bullock is an au courant case study in how a star comes to acquire style at top speed, however reluctantly. Mel Gibson and Susan Sarandon take us down the longer, winding fashion paths, over which they've proceeded for years at their own risk.
Hollywood's Well-Tylered Man
When Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington and Stephen Dorff want to get dressed to kill, they head straight for Richard Tyler's coolly cut, classic clothes. Here, the Australian-born. L.A.-based designer grades guys from Tom Cruise to Jim Carrey on their fashion finesse, skewers the dress-up circus of the Oscars, and spells out where lime-lit men should be heading now that the style of pretending to ignore style is over.
