July 23, 2001 9:52am ESTBased on Susanna Kaysen's account of being trapped in a mental institution in the late '60s, director James Mangold's "Girl, Interrupted" is a semi-involving tale of identity and belonging featuring a solid performance from Winona Ryder and a spirited, star-making turn from Angelina Jolie.

Wanted: An Oscar Host
March 19, 2001 11:51am ESTHOLLYWOOD, Dec. 14, 2000 -- You loved his cameo-filled opening sequence, the side gags, his effervescent personality and, most of all, the way he made the usually tedious Oscar telecast fun and fast. So who isn't going to miss Billy Crystal just a little bit at this year's Academy Awards? "I like Billy Crystal. I know [he won't be hosting], but I'd like to talk to him about that because he is my favorite. I think he is the best," Jennifer Love Hewitt told Hollywood.com at the Fire and Ice Ball f

CHANNEL SURFER: 'Survivor' for History Buffs
March 19, 2001 11:50am ESTHOLLYWOOD, June 11, 2000 -- This is really the best time of year to be writing a weekly TV column. It's a time of promising summer replacements (such as "Clerks," which has, um, already been canceled), cool film festivals and new original cable series. Even PBS lets its hair down and gets a little experimental, in its own, starched collar kind of way. If we can steal gameshows from England, what's to stop the British from moving in on our reality-based TV territory? Nothing, apparently, becaus

EXTRA: The Quitting Kind
March 19, 2001 11:50am ESTHOLLYWOOD, June 8, 2000 – What causes a big star to walk away from a movie, even after the contracts have been signed, and the checks have been written? Why on Earth would Mike Myers quit "Dieter," a pet project based on his "Sprockets" skit from Saturday Night Live, which was gonna bring him his first $20 million booty? Myers is hardly the first star of his magnitude to walk away from a high-profile film. That said, it's not surprising he's not the first star to get sued for desert a movie, ei

TV STUFF: Kenny’s Dead!
March 19, 2001 11:50am ESTSANTA MONICA, Calif., April 17, 2000 -- No more cheesy poofs? Say it ain’t so! Word comes today from the New York Post that the creators of “South Park,” that flatulence-obsessed, toilet-minded (and really funny) cartoon, are seriously thinking about calling it quits. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are reportedly being courted by both NBC and Michael Ovitz’s ATG agency to produce a network show -- and if that happens, you can say bye-bye to Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny and the gang. Parker and Stone

ROLE CALL: Adam Sandler's Non-Specific Specifics
March 19, 2001 11:50am ESTSANTA MONICA, Calif., March 23, 2000 -- It doesn't get any less specific than this: Adam Sandler is set to star in an untitled, unwritten, uncast romantic comedy for New Line Cinema. While the movie sounds barely formed, today's Daily Variety assures us that it will "take [Sandler] in the direction he has been headed toward with 'The Wedding Singer' and 'Big Daddy.' " Meaning it'll make him a lot of money? COWBOYS AND COWGIRL: Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton and Cate Blanchett are locked in fo
