...shared an apparently innocent dessert with a colleague who keeps pestering her with cell-phone messages. Wahlberg does all his fretting with a furrowed brow (which has not two but three vertical lines, possibly a new fashion statement for anxiety), while Deschanel bites her lip and rolls her gigantic blue eyes. Neither actor can come close to the hollow-eyed anxiety that Bruce Willis displayed in The Sixth Sense, and which anchored that movie's near superhuman grief...
...Greek doctor named Ctesias traveled through Persia (now Iran), in the service of the Persian king, where he heard many tales from Indian travelers about creatures back home. Later writing them down, he described "wild asses as large as horses" that had white bodies, red heads and dark blue eyes, and "a horn on the forehead, which is about a foot and a half in length."

It's nothing personal; it's just that she has been programmed to find...
Cassandra Wilson Loverly; out now Wilson, a distinctively dusky-voiced singer who can work jazz's boundaries with pop, avant-garde and blues, here assembles an album of standards echoing her breakthrough Blue Skies (1988). A few tracks are a little too standard, but more often a languid beat kicks in, and Wilson's subtle phrasing, filled with cunning pauses, casts its steamy spell...
