...winner who told London police he had been "mugged" in a park while walking his dog at 4:30 a.m. Spacey later confessed that the culprit was a con man who had tricked him into handing over his cell phone.

Trumpler cares to share about her brief history as a thespian is spotted with such typical and mildly traumatic recollections as mawkish Girl Scout productions and the loss of roles to friends. However, the Quincy House senior tutor and lecturer in the History of Science is braving the stage once again. She will perform in the Athena Theater Company’s production of The Vagina Monologues, which opens on February 13 at the Agassiz Theater. As she tells it, the circumstances surrounding the production proved far too auspicious to ignore...

That the film generally succeeds is a testament to Eminem’s talents as a musician, provocateur and hip-hop thespian. Earlier this year, Britney Spears and Mariah Carey proved remarkably unconvincing in roles as aspiring singers; in comparison to his MTV peers, Eminem’s passable portrayal of a white rapper from Detroit qualifies him as a character actor...
