Zuleikha Robinson: Not Horsing Around
Most young starlets getting their big break are ecstatic. Not Zuleikha Robinson. When the 26-year-old actress landed the leading-lady role in this month's Hidalgo, she was--in a word--terrified. And it's not because she'd be wooing hunky Viggo Mortensen, who plays a Pony Express courier competing in a brutal horse race across the Arabian desert. No, it was the equine costars that had her up at night.
Thieves Like Who?
Forget those public-service announcements hosted by set designers and stuntman -- here are the anti-piracy shorts we'd like to see.
Sex & Clothes
As Cold Mountain proved, sex on screen isn't just about skin and sweat, it's about disrobing and robing again.
Liv Tyler: Living It Up!
Liv Tyler on bonding with Orlando and dad Steven, overcoming middle-Earth depression and making a movie with Bennifer.
Matthew Perry: Life After Chandler
Matthew Perry is a guy poised to reinvent himself....
Max Mara: Who Is Max Mara?
High up on a hill, in a land far, far away, there lives a brilliant fashion mogul and his brood. Tucked into the Italian countryside, the retail emperor dwells in a 13th-century castle replete with a working drawbridge, a turreted brick tower and its very own enchanted forest. On Sundays, Achille Maramotti, as he is known, and his wife Ida gather their three children, Luigi, Ignazio and Maria Ludovica, and nine grandchildren, to sup in their verdant gardens and discuss the family business. But theirs is no ordinary venture. And while "family business" might sound modest, theirs is hardly that. Theirs is what some like to call: the largest high-end retailer for women in the world. With 1,790 boutiques and counting, and staggering sales of over $1 billion, it is a global giant named simply: MaxMara.
TITLE
He could've become a multi-platinum rapper, but instead Mekhi Phifer chose to get his bona fides as an actor with such choice projects as 8 Mile, a regular gig on "ER," and his latest, Dawn of the Dead. Gettin' down with luscious leading ladies like Beyonce and Jessica Alba is just a bonus.
