SHOWBIZ BRIEFS
Radiohead voted
world’s best band
LONDON (AP) - Moody
rockers Radiohead were voted
the world’s best band at the
annual Q music awards
Monday.
The band — which topped
both British and U.S. charts last
year with its Grammy-winning
album “Kid A” — beat REM, U2
and British bands Manic Street
Preachers, Stereophonies and
Travis to take the prize, chosen
by readers of Britain’s Q
magazine.
Past Q awards ceremonies,
held at London’s expensive
Park Lane hotel, have seen
boisterous behavior by some
attendees. But this year the
present-day chart-toppers were
upstaged by John Lydon —
formerly Johnny Rotten of the
Sex Pistols — who received the
“inspiration” award for his
influence on music.
Lydon — who arrived at the
hotel in a horse and cart and
with his trademark shock of
hair dyed orange and black —
accepted his award in stalwart
punk fashion.
“Who wants this?” the 45
year-old punk pioneer asked the
audience, “because it doesn’t
mean anything to me.”
Harry Potter movie
true to book length
NEW YORK (AP) — At 143
minutes, the much-anticipated
“Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer’s Stone” is nearly
twice as long as most kids’
movies.
But director Chris
Columbus said fans of the J.K.
Rowling book from which the
film is adapted would have been
crushed if the filmmakers had
left too much out.
“My mantra has been, kids are
reading a 700-page book,”
Columbus told Time magazine
for its Oct. 29 issue. “They can
sit through a 2 1/2-hour
movie.”
Columbus is referring to the
fourth book in the series, the
734-page “Harry Potter and the
Goblet of Fire,” which came out
last year and holds the record as
the fastest-selling book in
history.
“Instead of trying to
overtake the readers’
imagination, we’ve just given
them the best possible version
of the book, which means
steeping it in reality,” the
director said. “I wanted kids to
feel that if they actually took
that train, Hogwarts would be
waiting for them.”
“Harry Potter and the
Sorcerer’s Stone,” starring
Robbie Coltrane, Alan
Rickman, Maggie Smith and 12
year-old Daniel Radcliffe as the
boy wizard, opens Nov. 16.

HOROSCOPES
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (OCT. 31)
Stability is your objective, and
it’s your natural inclination.
One who shares that goal is
your partner now and perhaps
forever. You choose. The stars
impel, they do not compel.
Making the commitment is up
to you two.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Should you keep what you
have, or invest it in an attempt
to make more? A long-term
investment could work, but a
short-term one probably won’t.
Let your money do the work,
but you still need to supply the
brains.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
You and your partner have an
advantage: each other. Your
adversary isn’t as fortunate but
is still formidable. Don’t take
him or her for granted. Figure
out how to work the system and
get all the benefits.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21)
You’re an up-front sort of
person most of the time, but
you can keep a secret if you put
your mind to it. You’re not
being sneaky or dishonest,
hopefully. You’re waiting till
the time is right to divulge
what you know. Now is not that
time
CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22)
You’re collecting good
feedback and making new
contacts. That’s the best use of
your time. Don’t try to
convince anybody of anything.
They’re all too set in their
ways. For now, continue your
preparations.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Slow down a little. You pushed
hard for the past few days.
Now, coast. New problems are
showing up, but that’s to be
expected. You’re into new
territory now. Start making
new lists, and you’ll be.
checking things off in no time
at all. Take it easy.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
The hard part is over, at least
for a while. Right now, you
should be doing well and
entering a learning phase.
Taking a class might be tough,
but it could be worth the
trouble. Only do it for a
fascinating subject, or if you’re
working toward your degree.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT 22)
It’s time to take care of
business again. Although
magic is in the air, some
contact with reality is
required. Don’t forget to pay
the mortgage or the rent.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Don’t be bothered by
something that’s not working
properly. This goes for people,
too. You and a good, solid
partner can get just about
whatever you want, so find
somebody to back up your
position. Alone, it’s a struggle.
Together, it’s just another
bump to be smoothed out.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC.
21)
You’re great at formulating
lofty ideas and selling them.
The hard part is closing the
deal, getting people to pay,
having that check clear the
bank. You can do it; it gets »
easier with practice. Once you
master this skill, you’re set
free.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
You’re the keeper of the family
legends. Don’t keep those
stories to yourself. The next
generation needs to hear the
tales of courage, defeat and
triumph. They are the living
proof of those victories.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
It’s time for another rest. Slow
down and take stock. Count
your winnings and tally up
your losses. Sleep more hours
than usual tonight.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
The more you learn, the fewer
things bug you. Instead of a
fears, you have confidence. You
have skills, so don’t let your
fears keep you from learning.
