Blockbusters, indie films: It's all good
Christina Ricci likes to straddle the film fence. "When I was a kid, I did a bunch of bigger movies. Then I didn't do so much," says the star of "The Addams Family" and "Mermaids." Now racing down her path is the big summer blockbuster "Speed Racer," where she plays a certain driver's cool chick girlfriend, Trixie.
Summer movie preview: A season of cinema
Cindy Pearlman: We hate to quote Michael Jackson, but he hit it on the head all those years ago when he sang, "We're going back to Indiana. Indiana here we come." Indiana Jones, that is. Even though we're less than an hour from the Indiana state border, it took Hollywood legends George Lucas and Steven Spielberg 19 years to get there again. Luckily, Harrison Ford has his sights high this summer at the box office and his boffo return.
Doogie grows up
Cindy Pearlman: He is not your designated Doogie anymore. Now that he's hip, TV's former Doogie Howser has been dubbed NPH. "I'm older. I'm wiser. I'm just living the dream. That's what I'm doing," says Neil Patrick Harris, 34. He was a teenager during his run on TV's "Doogie Howser, M.D." "All I can say is it's nice to be back on the radar and back in the zeitgeist," marvels Harris.
Tiny Fey's revolution
Cindy Pearlman: You've heard of glass houses. Well, Tina Fey lives in a house of glasses. "There are four or five pairs everywhere," says the Queen of Comedy. "I can never find them. Sometimes I bring ones home from the set and half of them don't even have prescriptions in them because they're just props. I went and got an eye exam the other day and my doctor even said, 'These are props, Tina, right?' But I am aware that I look a little better in them than without them."
Spending '88 Minutes' with Amy Brenneman
Someone is still always judging Amy. Amy Brenneman, who is married to director Brad Silberling and has two children -- Charlotte Tucker, 6, and Bodhi, 2 -- is hiding out in her own driveway.
