Wonder Boys, Curtis Hanson's funny and touching film about a one-hit novelist turned pothead college prof (Michael Douglas), opened in February to shining reviews and shit box office. Now it's being rereleased so you can see what you missed: head-of-the-class performances by Douglas, Frances McDormand as his pregnant lover, Robert Downey Jr. as his gay editor and Tobey Maguire as his suicidal student. Get going, you laggards.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
