...flexible: four-minute tracks became ten-minute jams, with Tricky repeating phrases with mantra-like intensity. This vastly improved his music: in his studio work, Tricky compresses ideas into his songs, but the live venue allowed his songs to stretch out, achieving blinding power through repetition. A nameless female singer performed the roles played on record by Martina Topley-Bird (Tricky's occasional girlfriend and frequent collaborator), while British rapper Mad Dog joined Tricky for a few tracks from Juxtapose...

...model and actress LAETITIA CASTA. The mayors had sought a woman embodying "solidarity, openness and tolerance," traits Casta clearly exhibits in her work for Victoria's Secret. Some decried the selection process for its reliance primarily on physical beauty (other contestants included a game-show hostess and a singer). Upon learning of her anointing, Casta enthused, "Chouette, quoi [like, neat...

When Norton starts attending testicular cancer and TB support groups to release his anger and built-up anxiety, we laugh (albeit uncomfortably, but we laugh). When he meets Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter), a fellow support group squatter, and they divide group therapy sessions between them, we laugh.

...Baby, you close with something they knows!" That was the methodology for choosing encores of the legendary saloon singer Bobby Short. The Kroks could learn something from Bobby. Tonight, they have sung under the shadow of the Boston Statehouse on Beacon Street, in a residence owned by the mayor, and made their way on to one of the glitzier hotels in the area for another concert. After a pretty high-energy show, they have chosen an encore that's a bit dreary, a bit quiet and not at all appropriate for their drunken audience, with whom they...

...face of it, the '90s have been the decade of politically inexperienced celebrities waltzing into public office. Clint Eastwood made his day when he was voted mayor of Carmel, Calif.; Sonny Bono rose from washed-up singer to Palm Springs mayor to congressman; and Jesse Ventura was elected governor of Minnesota with little more on his C.V. than the WWF Intercontinental wrestling championship and a few Schwarzenegger-movie cameos. Mere fame, however, appears to be an inadequate campaign asset for those aspiring to the presidency, according to a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll. For instance, in September, Donald Trump...
