Margaret Cho: The Cho Must Go On
Those who caught Margaret Cho's scorchingly funny one-woman concert movie, I'm the One That I Want, will tell you it was a must-see--in that raw, take-no-prisoners film, the San Francisco-born comic brilliantly fireballs everything from sex and racism to homophobia and heterophobia to her past addiction to booze to toxic boyfriends to the self-loathing brought on when TV network executives bungled her 1994 series "All-American Girl."

Jennifer Love Hewitt: Love Lessons
Now that she's a ripe old 23, Jennifer Love Hewitt is making a few changes in her life -- sure, she's still living with her mom, but she's a releasing a new album, has decided to stop kissing and telling (oh no!), and is giving action a try by chop-sueying bad guys opposite Jackie Chan in The Tuxedo.

Colleen Atwood: Chicago's Secret Weapon
Renee Zellwegger and Catherine Zeta Jones will dazzle in Chicago, thanks to Colleen Atwood. But this isn't her first film credit, she already has about 40 to her name.

James Franco: Keeping it Real
Like his role models James Dean and, Marlon Brando, James Franco doesn't want to reveal too much. But that doesn't mean the actor who appeared in Spider-Man and will next be seen opposite Robert De Niro in City by the Sea doesn't let a few things slip out.

Shannyn Sossaman: Untouchable
Shannyn Sossaman goes from gamine to gangster girl in bold, '30s-inspired pinstripes stolen from The Untouchables.

Man Power
