...ridicule his distinctive enunciation - drawn-out syllables and unexpected, oddly placed, upward inflections - as affected. But there's a certain quirky charm in his words and the way he sings them. Fanny Ardant et Moi, a rare up-tempo number, recounts Delerm's imagined relationship with the French actress 27 years his senior. "We are listening to Gregorian chant," he sings. "She barely speaks and me I say nothing/ We have a relationship like that/ Fanny Ardant and me."

The defense called the accusations completely untrue and said the women were just seeking...
...looks about 28, and on Oprah last week, he behaved as if he were 14. Ostensibly on the show to plug his forthcoming movie, Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds, Tom Cruise tried to count the ways his professed passion for actress Katie Holmes had changed his life. He chanted the mantra "I'm in love" as if his soul could speak only in an Oscar Hammerstein lyric. A cheerleader for Team Katie, he bounded from his seat, genuflected before his startled host, jumped on the couch and pumped his fist, NBA-finals style. "I don't know what...
