There he was preparing to cavort in the buff with Andie MacDowell. For a seasoned, swaggering movie heartthrob, that scene might have been an irresistible chance to show off, but for Hugh Grant the occasion proved mortifying. "The first time I took my shirt off on the set," he says, referring to the filming of Four Weddings and a Funeral, "the make-up artist asked, 'Do you want definition painted in?' What was even more tragic is that I would have liked it but could not face having it painted on in front of everyone else. I'm still getting...
...Little Night Music. Spend a weekend in the country with a band of delightfully mismatched lovers in turn-of-the-century Sweden as they cavort to Sondheim's wittiest lyrics and most beatutiful music. A bittersweet comedy filled with passion, romance and foolish shenanigans. LoebMainstage, 8 p.m. $5 for students...

At one point, the pop diva (incomprehensibly top-billed) appears from behind a pillar, only to wail a version of Cole Porter's "Everytime We Say Goodbye" as the two lovers caress and cavort around sadly, if such a thing is possible. There are several such pointless dance sequences (sans Lennox), which look as if they might have been choreographed by Janet Jackson. Aside from the sitar music with which "Edward II" opens, the MTV analogue, like that of the perfume ad, is impossible to avoid. All you "campsters" out there might be getting...
