A quick look at how Jesse James' murder turned him into the stuff of legend.
Notorious outlaw Jesse James, the most famous member of the James-Younger gang, entered the pantheon of folk legend after he was shot in the back by Robert Ford on April 3, 1882, at the age of 34. The myth hasn't diminished over the past 125 years: His legacy has been romanticized, dissected and reenvisioned in novels, songs and, most especially, films.

When Sean Penn asked for soundtrack help, the sparks ignited for the Pearl Jam frontman.
TORONTO -- The soundtrack to Sean Penn's "Into the Wild" is Eddie Vedder's first solo album, but he can't take all the credit. True, he played most of the instruments, sings nearly every note and wrote nine of the album's 11 songs. But when he tries to remember where the songs came from, he draws a blank.

The rapper's 'Ultimate Victory' is full of social commentary but is free of profanity and the N-word.
IT'S not every day that rappers are invited to hold court on "Larry King Live." It's also not every day that they decline the invitation. So before Chamillionaire told King last spring that he'd have to pass, the Grammy-winning rapper thought long and hard.

Fox's new cop drama is set in post-Katrina New Orleans. Police-show clichés are many, and the city's flavor is MIA.
Nowhere is it written that you cannot take a national tragedy and use it as a backdrop for a TV series. And that's a good thing -- what would television be without "MASH"? But if you do, it would be wise to pause and quietly reflect, to consider whether your characters, subject matter, perhaps even genre, are up to the task. As tempting as it might be, tearing your pathos straight from the headlines comes with a price: Your show will be judged not only on its own merits, but also on how it measures up against the significance of the event.

Perhaps a performer who's more charismatic, versatile, dynamic and inventive than Dobet Gnahore will emerge during the ongoing World Music Festival -- but I doubt it. The show that Gnahore played during the opening night of the festival drew ecstatic responses from a sold-out house at the Old Town School of Folk Music on Friday night, and for good reason.

Rilo Kiley's latest album, "Under the Blacklight," is a celebration of Los Angeles' seedy underbelly, but the disc is far more surface than it is substance. This wouldn't be a problem were the band's character studies not largely characterless, composed of pop references pilfered from other bands -- some classic-rock bluster here, a bit nicked from Fleetwood Mac there. The question leading into the group's performance at the Riviera on Saturday night was largely one of context: How would the group's about-face from its indie-rock roots fare when the slick new tracks were set against the old ones?

'Donnie Darko' director knows from experience that a film can overcome a poor showing at Cannes.
TORONTO -- It was an offer he couldn't refuse. The Cannes Film Festival invited writer-director Richard Kelly to screen his second feature as part of its prestigious competition section. So Kelly took his "Southland Tales" to France in 2006, even though there was work still to be done on it.

Hollywood just loved the writer's work last year. Now it's starting to look like the scripts could actually get made.
The best writers are skilled ventriloquists. Just the same, it's a bit jarring to meet Brad Kane. The screenwriter of two gritty, popular, unproduced screenplays -- a Richard Pryor biopic and an epic drama about a black pimp in 1980s New York City -- Kane turns out to be a white former child actor and Broadway veteran who sang the part of Aladdin in the 1992 Disney film.

The CW's new show focuses on the East Coast prep school elite.
If J.D. Salinger and Jackie Collins had a love child, she would be writing for "Gossip Girl." The CW's new show is based on a popular series of young adult books by Cecily von Ziegesar. And although the literary effort may not have quite captured the lush, almost fetishized fascination of prep school youth seen in "The Catcher in the Rye," the television version does.

There are many reasons to like the Fox sitcom -- the comic veteran is definitely one of them.
Let us pause for a moment and give thanks for Fred Willard. I know, I know, Fox's "Back to You" is all about Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton and their Tracy-Hepburn attempt to breathe life back into the sitcom. Which they do, and it is lovely to watch, but Fred Willard is a true comedy veteran, a man who brightens up any scene he's in, from the classic "Fernwood Tonight" to Christopher Guest's feature film "Best in Show."

Gordon Ramsay's show focuses on the drama, not on the food.
On "Kitchen Nightmares," his second series for Fox -- based, like "Hell's Kitchen," on a British original -- celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay takes ailing restaurants and, in a week's time turns them into potentially viable operations. It is loud and manipulative and ugly to behold, but it isn't dull.

As an introduction to the road comedy, the director is unspooling the short, sexy 'Hotel Chevalier.'
Wes Anderson didn't set out to create one of the year's most talked about short films when he wrote, directed and produced the 13-minute "Hotel Chevalier." Instead, the quirky, creative force behind such films as "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou" intended the short as a kind of prequel or "introduction" to his comedic road drama, "The Darjeeling Limited," which lands in theaters Oct. 5.

The Black Eyed Pea wants his party raps and sophistication too.
THE hip-hop star known as will.i.am is a student of music history and a tech-head with a passion for living in the future. So when asked recently about where his group, the Black Eyed Peas, will be in 20 years, his brow knitted in serious contemplation. Would the group be alive and well, like the survivors of the Red Hot Chili Peppers (who, by the way, inspired the Peas to take a name that belongs in a covered dish)? Or would they splinter and go their own ways, like a cheerier, West Coast version of the Fugees?

"When the ideas are coming," says the man who is one of the half-dozen most influential producers of the modern pop era, "I don't stop until the ideas stop because that train doesn't come along all the time."

ABC's 'Dirty Sexy Money' aims to update the prime-time soap format.
WRITING a glitzy, prime-time soap opera isn't as easy as it looks. For starters, it's hard to invent characters who can top the shenanigans committed in any given week by certain pop stars or heiresses to hotel fortunes. And then there's the sympathy factor: How do you make viewers really feel for -- as opposed to simply repelled or tickled by -- the idle, self-absorbed rich?
