NEW YORK -- Cuba Gooding Jr. understands why his "The Fighting Temptations" co-star Beyonce Knowles was uneasy about their kissing scenes in the comedy.

Tennessee Williams' plays are classics. "A Streetcar Named Desire", "The Glass Menagerie", and possibly his best-known play, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", are renowned for their timeless quality, their drama, and their honest portrayal of American life. The Bloomington Area Arts Council and Detour Theatre Company will be presenting "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" as the first show of the season at the John Waldron Arts Center, 122 South Walnut Street. The play takes place in 1950's Mississippi, on Harvey "Big Daddy" Pollitt's 65th birthday.

By Alyson Brodsy and Anthony Breznican · Friday, Sept. 5,2003 2:19 a.m.

LOS ANGELES -- The glory of being a famous cute kid can fade faster than the pages of an old Tiger Beat magazine. What often remains is nostalgia, taunting and the occasional pummeling in a celebrity boxing tournament. Some are bitter. Some have made peace with their pasts and found new successes. Others still seem a little dazed from the long-extinguished limelight.

Take Tina: Awakening the archetypes of rhythm & movement

By Eddie Anderson · Thursday, Sept. 4,2003 2:10 a.m.

I walk up the narrow staircase of the small building on Kirkwood to interview a man I've never met before. Reaching the top of the staircase, I step into a dimly-lit corner room that reminds me of an old Victorian house. Blue curtains hang from the many windows, and cushions lay on the hardwood floor. As I look about the relaxing atmosphere I don't even notice the woman standing behind me. Surprising me with an enthusiastic hello, she introduces me to Marcus Sims.

The battlefield footage became the first U.S. newsreel. But like most reality shows, all was not as it seemed. Certain battles and executions were staged for the cameras.

At the start of Sara Paretsky's new novel, "Blacklist," private eye V.I. Warshawski recalls her feelings right after terrorists attacked the Pentagon and the World Trade Center.
