...Kate Hudson appears looking translucent and no older than your average teenage 'N Sync fan. She is accompanied by her new husband, Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson. I realize that this makes her Mrs. Robinson, placing a new, different perspective on that name. I chat with them about the fact that Kate's mother Goldie Hawn had eulogized the Beatles at the Academy Awards exactly 30 years ago, when they were nominated for an Academy Award for their "Let It Be" score. The disbanded Beatles were a no-show, and when they won the Oscar, Goldie Hawn's speech became...
...control." Around the parking lot, things were winding down. The group Hanson arrived. It's now four or five years since the three brothers first burst on the scene, and that has brought adolescence. Even so, there was something bizarre about seeing the guy who was the cute young singer in the group chatting up a girl in her late teens. It was as though a Rubicon had been crossed. The End of the Innocence! The middle Hanson brother is now old enough to date...
...buzz on the Japanese soul-master is growing. According to The Roots drummer Ahmir "?uestlove" (pronounced "Questlove") Thompson, Kubota's authenticity comes across, even if he does not mesh with conventional ideas of what a soul singer should look like.

The one strong number of the night was unadorned but nonetheless weird: Bjork, doing the eerie "I've Seen It All" from "Dancer in the Dark." The Icelandic singer once made a video with "Ren and Stimpy" animator John Kricfalusi, and here she looked like a winsome cartoon character in her meringue-y dress, alternating between a childish singsong and an operatic wail. Really, it might be worth getting rid of the Best Song category altogether, since...
Legendary Iranian singer Googoosh this week capped her first tour in 22 years with a concert in Dubai. Thousands of Iranians crossed the Persian Gulf to hear the diva (who is banned from performing at home) ring in the Persian New Year last Wednesday. Although silenced by the Islamic revolution before many of them were born, even Iran's youth proclaim Googoosh as the preeminent icon of Iran's prerevolutionary social freedom. Her music has served as a unifying force amongst Iranians of all classes, both at home and in exile. TIME's Tehran correspondent Azadeh Moaveni met with Googoosh...
