...Enjoy while you can the bright bursts of floral prints sprouting up on department-store racks this spring. Come fall, fashion will follow the downward spiral of home values and investment portfolios, as designers embrace restraint with a dark palette and severe silhouette. As Amy Winehouse would so aptly croon: Back to black...
...EXPLAIN WHY EVERYONE'S SINGING In Once and Dreamgirls, the main characters are musicians, giving them perfectly plausible reasons for walking down the street singing, as opposed to, say, Gene Kelly, who never needed an excuse to curl up to a lamppost and croon.

As for his acting career, his first starring film role...
...Free” and a cover of Chuck Berry’s “Have Love Will Travel,” both from “Thickfreakness,” elicited the most response from the crowd, and Auerbach’s signature howl-and-croon, more delta-bluesman than bearded white guy, reached new heights (and depths). Sampling equally from their last three releases, both of the Keys drove the beat to the bone, torturing earth-tinged blues from their instruments with such synchronicity that every head in the venue moved in unison.
