Chicago: Review

The original sting may be gone, but 27 years after the legendary stage musical opened on Broadway, choreographer-director Rob Marshall's feature brings it to the screen with plenty of razzle-dazzle and an all-star cast who really can sing and dance. After shooting the bounder (Dominic West) who seduced her with promises of showbiz contacts, one-time chorine Roxie Hart (Renee Zellweger) winds up on murderess's row where slinky hoofer Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is the undisputed star; Velma took out her husband and her sister. Also starring Richard Gere, Queen Latifah and John C. Reilly. Read the complete review for Chicago

There is a movie called ... | Movie News | 3/23/2006
Question: There is a movie called "Dream Girls" that's either supposed to come out in theaters or air on TV — I can't remember when. The cast includes Eddie Murphy, Beyoncé Knowles and some girl from American Idol. Can you please let me know the 411? Thanks.Answer: Dreamgirls is a feature-film adaptation of the late theater director Michael Bennett's 1981 Broadway musical chronicling the rise of the Dreamettes (later simply the Dreams), a 1960s singing trio who bear no small resemblance to the real-life Supremes. The original cast included Jennifer Holliday (the show's breakout star) as Effie, the full-figured belter who gets squeezed out in the group's bid for crossover success; read more

Question: Renee Zellweger has been nominated for an Oscar three years in a row. Can you tell me how many other times this has happened? Has anyone ever pulled it off more than three times in a row? Thanks!Answer: William Hurt and Russell Crowe have both been nominated for best actor three times in a row, Hurt for Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985), Children of a Lesser God (1986) and Broadcast News (1987) — he won for Kiss of the Spider Woman — and Crowe for The Insider (1999), Gladiator (2000) and A Beautiful Mind (2001). Crowe won for Gladiator.

Guest Columnist Lisa Rinna Kicks Up Her Heels | Today's News: Our Take | 2/17/2006
You never really know how hard dancing is until you get in there and start. Fortunately, I'm a workout fiend. I've done a lot of yoga over the past 10 years, and pilates, which is very dance oriented. So my body was ready for this. Or so I thought... I've had a couple of ballet classes in my life, but ballroom? There's no comparison. The pros make it look so easy. But I'm slipping and falling all the time because I'm a klutz. I'm beat-up all over. The very first day of rehearsals, I got a big fat blister and I said, "I gotta put socks on." So I have this thin pair of black cotton socks — not very pretty — but they do the job. The question was, could I? The waltz, the rumba, they're all hard as hell. But I thought, "OK, Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones did this for Chicag read more
