MICHAËL AMZALAG, MATHIAS AUGUSTYNIAK: BJORK (interviewmagazine.com)
BJÖRK: I've always appreciated working with people I have chemistry with, who are friends, and where you feel that the work is growing while you are getting to know each other better.


Hannah Pool: "Question time: Duncan Bannatyne" (guardian.co.uk/)
Dragons' Den judge Duncan Bannatyne on how it's easy to become rich - and why women don't want to be at the top in business.


Erin Adair-Hodges: What's a Feminist Like You Doing in a Place Like This? (alibi.com)
Feminist art icon Judy Chicago now lives in Belen, New Mexico, long considered by this reporter to be the worst place on earth.


Barry Koltnow: Will Ferrell brings his favorite childhood TV show to the big screen (The Orange County Register)
Deep in the bowels of the Hollywood Palladium, in a dressing room normally occupied by rock stars, Will Ferrell is feverishly texting on his Blackberry.


Rick Bentley: Edie 'Carmela Soprano' Falco returns to TV in new Showtime series (McClatchy Newspapers)
During the filming of the final season of "The Sopranos," Edie Falco wasn't sure she wanted to be part of another TV series. That landmark HBO show set a pretty high standard.


Roger Moore: Maya Rudolph goes home for her new comedy film 'Away We Go' (The Orlando Sentinel)
Maya Rudolph would show up on the set, strap on the "gut" that made her look pregnant, and sit waiting for the first shot. But something about that one location, the old, weathered lakefront home in Leesburg, Fla., felt like home.


Joe Williams: 3-D or not 3-D? Cash is the question (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
Hollywood executives and filmmakers have been waiting for the "killer app" that will change 3-D movies from a novelty to a necessity. Now some are saying that the app is "Up."


Will Harris: A Chat with Dileep Rao, Co-star of "Drag Me to Hell" (bullz-eye.com)
'The Shining' is the most psychologically scary film I've ever seen. There's something about Kubrick's understanding of the visual cortex perception of images. The power of that in a horror genre is truly for the ages.


Rick Bentley: Veteran actress Sharon Gless finds her focus on 'Burn Notice' (McClatchy Newspapers)
"Do you mind if I smoke?" asked Sharon Gless.


Roger Ebert: THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (1920; A Great Movie)
The first thing everyone notices and best remembers about "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (1920) is the film's bizarre look.

Sally said:
   As I recall, a TV show that I could never really get into, "The Wild, Wild West" series (E) episodes, all (but one), began with "The Night Of..."
  PS: We had our 3-family garage sale today. About 4 O'clock, a caravan of 3 old cars pulled up and the men therein bought up all of our clothing WO even looking at each item. Of course we gave them a good, 'end of the day' price - they said they, "Take it to Guatemala." Their cars (big ones, like old Buicks) were full of clothing too. I found it interesting. Unfortunately, we couldn't exchange much conversation, because their English was limited, as is my Spanish. I sure would have liked more info though... I did give them a parting, "Vaya Con Dios" mi amigo's - somehow, it felt sad to me.




MAM     said:
   E The Wild, Wild West began episodes with "The Night Of . . ." I loved this program, and watched weekly. Mixed frontier action and James Bond thrills, starred Robert Conrad as James T. West, an undercover operative for President Grant who teamed with master-of-disguise Artemus Gordon (Ross Martin). Roaming the plains in a private railroad car, the duo thwarted outlaws and would-be despots using the latest in 19th-century gadgetry.

Pulls Out Of UCLA Grad Speech

James Franco

Actor James Franco says he has dropped a plan to give a commencement speech at the University of California, Los Angeles, a move that may have been prompted by pressure from students.

Franco issued a statement saying he canceled his June 12 appearance because of conflicts with preproduction demands for his next film.

However, the "Pineapple Express" star had been the object of opposition from students who said he was not the right fit for the commencement speech.

"The problem with him as a speaker comes down to the fact he was a peer for so many of us," UCLA senior Erin Moore said. "He was in our class. He's not a role model. And he hasn't had time to accomplish anything with his degree."

Cozy Coupe

A classic toy car is being inducted into an auto museum in Cleveland.

The Cozy Coupe, a plastic cherry-red sports car, allows toddlers to sit on a bench-style seat and poke their legs through to the ground. When they start walking, the car begins to go.

On Saturday, it will take its place next to historically significant automobiles at the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum.

The museum will house one of the first Cozy Coupes to come off the production line in 1979.

Backs Campaign To Save Venue

Mick Jagger

Sir Mick Jagger has backed a campaign to save a historic cinema where the Rolling Stones played gigs in the 1960s and where Alfred Hitchcock had his first taste of film as a boy.

The EMD cinema in Walthamstow, north-east London, is Grade 2 listed and has been described as "the most beautiful cinema in London".

In the 60s the cinema, then known as the Granada, played host to gigs from top bands including the Stones, the Beatles, the Kinks and The Who.

Jagger said: "Cinemas and live venues like The Granada in Walthamstow where the Stones played in the early days, learning our craft on the way, are the lifeblood of our cultural history.

Exhibit Traces Career

Norman Rockwell

Norman Rockwell's first cover for The Saturday Evening Post was of a sour-faced adolescent strolling his infant sibling in a baby carriage as two boys in baseball uniforms make mocking gestures.

But the frivolous image from May 1916 soon gave way to weightier subjects.

He marked the financial turmoil of the Great Depression with a portrait of a crowd huddled around a "Stock Exchange Quotations" sign. Images in later years of a wounded Second World War veteran, President John F. Kennedy and a young black girl integrating a school showed a growing artistic interest in politics, war, civil liberties and other issues of the time.

A new exhibit at the National Museum of American Illustration traces Rockwell's career over six decades, showing how he evolved from an artist fond of painting dogs, children, seniors and other sentimental subjects into a social commentator keen on documenting the world around him.

Evan Dando

Lemonheads founder Evan Dando is suing General Motors, saying the auto giant copied one of his songs for an ad.

Dando sued GM and advertising and licensing firms in federal court Thursday, claiming the automaker violated his copyright on The Lemonheads song "It's a Shame About Ray." The complaint alleges the song was re-recorded and included in a 2008 TV campaign for Chevrolets and Buicks.

Dando seeks damages and a portion of profits from the campaign.

Couple Accused Of Spying

Cuba

A retired State Department worker and his wife have been arrested on charges of spying for Cuba for three decades, using grocery carts among their array of tools to pass U.S. secrets to the communist government in a security breach one official described as "incredibly serious."

An indictment unsealed Friday said Walter Kendall Myers worked his way into higher and higher U.S. security clearances while secretly partnering with his wife, Gwendolyn Steingraber Myers, as clandestine agents so valued by the Cuban government that they once had a private four-hour meeting with President Fidel Castro.

State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said that the arrest culminated a three-year investigation of Myers and that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has ordered a "comprehensive damage assessment" to determine what he may have passed to the Cubans.

Court documents describe the couple's spying methods changing with the times, beginning with old-fashioned tools of Cold War spying: Morse code messages over a short-wave radio and notes taken on water-soluble paper. By the time they retired from the work in 2007, they were reportedly sending encrypted e-mails from Internet cafes.

Shaped Like Jellyfish

Crop Circle


A spectacular crop circle shaped like a jellyfish has appeared on farmland in Oxfordshire.

The 250m (600ft) design, which turned up in a field near Ashbury last week, is believed to be the first of its kind in the world.

Crop circle expert Karen Alexander said: "We have seen butterfly and bird patterns in the past, but this is the first jellyfish crop circle in the world.

"It is absolutely huge - roughly three times the size of most crop patterns and extremely interesting. People have been aghast at the size of it. It is a complete monster.

Young Wife Talks

Rachelle Spector

Rachelle Spector will turn 29 next week, a pretty woman living alone in a 35-room Pyrenees-style castle while the lord of the manor - music producer Phil Specter - sits in prison.

Her story might seem the subject of a perverse fairy tale if it was not part of one of the strangest true crime sagas in show business.

Through two trials in which she was ordered to stay mum, Spector's wife has remained an enigma. She sat down this week for an interview with The Associated Press about her past, her life with the aging music legend and her new role at the helm of his financial empire while pressing an appeal she hopes will free him.

"I find him very attractive and cute. I see him as this little boy, my best friend, the person I wake up to with his head on the pillow next to mine," she said.

Gets Into Matchmaking Biz

Hamas

At 29, Tahani is considered a spinster by the standards of deeply conservative Gaza. So in her search for a husband, she turned for help to the best in the marriage business: the Islamic militant group Hamas.

"I gaze at all the men on the street and think, 'Oh God, isn't there just one for me?'" said the young woman with dark skin and honey-colored eyes, set off by a maroon headscarf.

Her application is among 287 from single women in the files of the Tayseer Association for Marriage and Development in Gaza. Photographs stapled to the files show Muslim women in headscarves, some wearing makeup, some smiling, others looking startled. They all want a husband, and the Hamas loyalists running the association are intent on finding a man for each.

Despite its fearsome reputation elsewhere, Hamas is known here for its cradle-to-grave welfare programs for the poor. It is a cornerstone of its political support in Gaza, where poverty is deepening as Israel and Egypt maintain an almost two-year blockade of the Hamas-run territory. Now, the group is branching out into matters of the heart.
