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."
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.
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.
Gabrielle Union's introduction to stardom was a case of being in the right place at the right time--the 29-year-old Omaha native was discovered while interning at a modeling agency.
Rather than immediately cashing out on the success of her breakout single "Bitch," Meredith Brooks took her time -- now, happily, she's got a new album, a successful producing career (she oversaw Jennifer Love Hewitt's newest effort) and a quaint home that's not at all what you'd expect.
Here's one take on the best of screen music. Feel free to disagree.
Decades before Sting and Madonna made the leap from music to movies, Frank Sinatra did it, and he did it better than anyone else before (and, arguably, after) him -- he even walked away with an Oscar. Here's the long, hard path he took to win big-screen glory.
Shane West joins his Jonny Was bandmates for a guided tour of L.A.'s famed Sunset Strip, where The Doors once broke on through and stars like Brad Pitt take in shows today.
Brandon Boyd, the lead singer of Incubus, shares his views on TV (he doesn't like it much) and films (he doesn't like them much, either, except for surf flicks and anything directed by Tim Burton).
Pete Yorn has a close connection to the movie industry--he scored Me, Myself & Irene and one of his songs is inspired by a Bruce Willis flick--but in front of the cameras he'll never be.
Jessica Simpson is looking to parlay her superstar singing career into movie stardom. In the meantime, she's having fun playing with images, like she does here by taking on the essence of STAR 80.
