Chris Brown received an &#8220;extremely favorable&#8221; report from probation officials overseeing his felony assault case, a judge said yesterday. Brown appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom to offer a judge his first progress report since being sentenced for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna this year. He talked and laughed with his lawyer before the hearing, which took less than 10 minutes.           ]]></description>

The Twilight Saga: New Moon,&#8220; also known as &#8220;Twilight: The Squeakquel,&#8220; is actually pretty good&#8212;a tick better than the first &#8220;Twilight,&#8220; which wasn&#8217;t bad either. The first &#8220;Twilight,&#8220; a lower-budget and scruffier affair directed by Catherine Hardwicke, may have been lame in the visual magic department, but its stars and their smoldering separate-beds bedroom eyes did a valiantly angst-y job in launching a major franchise. The second film in the series is bigger, better in the effects and more vibrant visually, which is crucial&#8212;the heroine, Bella, is an Olympic-level mope, and if &#8220;New Moon&#8221; matched this character&#8217;s mood with the visual palette of the first film, we&#8217;d all be dead.           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
The redemption-minded sports flick &#8220;The Blind Side&#8221; serves its inspiration straight-up with no twist. Writer-director John Lee Hancock wisely lets the true story of Michael Oher&#8212;the teen who found a home and, eventually, football stardom, after being adopted by a wealthy Memphis family&#8212;speak for itself. That direct focus delivers a feel-good crowd-pleaser, but it also drains the film of the kind of subtle nuances that might have separated it from other Hallmark-like efforts.           ]]></description>

When it comes to the nuances of dining out, there&#8217;s a fine line between casual and unprofessional. For me, the threshold between the two lies just to the right of the dollar sign.&nbsp; I&#8217;m not fazed by service slip-ups or minor seasoning snafus when I&#8217;m kicking back at a laid-back barbecue joint.           ]]></description>

CHARLOTTESVILLE These days, Jimmy Buffett is more a brand than a musician. The restaurants, the beer line, the newly renamed Miami Dolphins stadium after the beer line, the upcoming casino in Biloxi, Miss.&#8212;it all induces a bit of nausea. But say this for the ol&#8217; guy, when it&#8217;s time to hit the stage, he works it. At his Charlottesville stop last night&#8212;one of the last dates of his current tour&#8212;the 62-year-old Peter Pan of the beach rolled through nearly 30 songs in 2&#189; hours, giving this nearly sold-out crowd of 12,000-plus exactly what they required: escapism.           ]]></description>

German prosecutors say the 26-year-old man who tried to extort $100,000 from former supermodel Cindy Crawford has turned himself in to police. Prosecutors in Stuttgart said yesterday that Edis Kayalar has been charged with one count of extortion in the U.S. If convicted, he could face up to two years in prison. Kayalar allegedly threatened to release a photo of Crawford&#8217;s daughter bound to a chair and gagged when she was 7. According to court papers, the girl says a former nanny took the picture as part of a &#8220;cops and robbers&#8221; game.           ]]></description>

LOS ANGELES&#8212;A judge has granted a civil restraining order against a man accused of stalking Ryan Seacrest. The order issued today requires Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr. to stay 100 yards away from the radio and television personality. A criminal court judge granted a similar order against Uzomah earlier this month. The 25-year-old remains in a Los Angeles jail, charged with felony stalking. He was arrested outside Seacrest&#8217;s workplace on Oct. 30, just weeks after he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges in Orange County, Calif. stemming from an incident with Seacrest&#8217;s bodyguard after an event.           ]]></description>

AUBURN HILLS, Mich.&#8212;Want to get away, Boss? Bruce Springsteen bellowed &#8220;Hello, Ohio!&#8220; to his fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills. That&#8217;s in Michigan. The 60-year-old rock legend referred to the neighboring state several times Friday night until E Street Band guitarist Steve Van Zandt whispered in his ear. A visibly embarrassed Springsteen grinned and said such a mistake was &#8220;every front man&#8217;s nightmare.&#8220;           ]]></description>

Creating visual images in one&#8217;s head can be a useful way of listening to symphonic music. But it would be best to halt the imagination somewhere around the middle of &#8220;Nanking! Nanking! A Threnody for Orchestra and Pipa.&#8220; If this music were a movie, it would be one you watch only once, in horror. Composer Bright Sheng wrote the work in memory of the victims of the 1937 massacre of civilians in Nanking, China, by Japanese soldiers. A threnody is an elegy or song for the dead.           ]]></description>

French President Nicolas Sarkozy made American actor and director Clint Eastwood a commander in the French Legion of Honor on Friday. Eastwood, 79, was honored for his body of work, his longevity and his ability to delight audiences around the globe. Former French President Jacques Chirac had honored Eastwood as a knight of the Legion of Honor two years ago, and Friday&#8217;s decoration was a step up for Eastwood to grade three on the legion&#8217;s five-grade scale.           ]]></description>

When you envision artistic materials featured in a high-end craft and design show, tractor-tire inner tubes might not immediately come to mind. But with the global emphasis on recycling and the creative talents of Richmonders Ken Kobrick and Angela Greene, the rubber has met the road. Kobrick, an ex-welder, and Greene, an inventor, convert discarded inner tubes into &#8220;green&#8221; luxury accessories, most notably purses that have captivated Hollywood celebrities such as AnnaLynne McCord (&#8220;90210&#8221; and &#8220;Nip/Tuck&#8221;) and Alicia Coppola (&#8220;Jericho&#8221; and &#8220;CSI&#8221;).

The artist called &#8220;the Audubon of trout&#8221; got an early start. James Prosek drew his first bird when he was 4. Two years later, after his aunt gave him a watercolor set, he began studying wildlife watercolors by John James Audubon and Winslow Homer in books in his Easton, Conn., home. When he was 8, he painted his first fish. The next year, he began trout fishing in Easton&#8217;s teeming streams and never stopped.           ]]></description>

Yet ever since 2003&#8217;s &#8220;Blood Canticle,&#8220; which brought to a close her &#8220;Vampire Chronicles&#8221; series, Rice has ventured down more directly religious pathways, shrugging aside the satanic for the saintly. Recently, she has written two books in a series on the early years of Jesus Christ and a memoir about her return to Catholicism. Now, she has written &#8220;Angel Time&#8221;&#8212;the first in what looks to be another series of novels, this one replacing the exciting adventures of vampires with the&#8212;honestly, quite dull&#8212;lives of angels.           ]]></description>

Cult classics, such as Ed Wood&#8217;s films and &#8220;Showgirls,&#8220; are often defined by their flaws as much as their merits. &#8220;Boondock Saints,&#8220; the 1999 film that achieved cult status on DVD and now has spawned a sequel, certainly had plenty of flaws. It was a ridiculously over-the-top action film about a pair of Irish-American twins who set out with guns and some reckless and boozy bravado to rid Boston of criminals and Mafia.           ]]></description>

Ski poles have none of the subtlety of a conductor&#8217;s baton, but for Arthur Fagen, it was the former that led to the latter. Fagen is the final candidate for the position of music director of the Richmond Symphony. When he was in high school, his family went on a ski vacation and happened to stay in the same lodge as Laszlo Halasz, founder and first director of the New York City Opera. The two became acquainted, and Halasz suggested that Fagen expand his musical talents and take conducting lessons with him.           ]]></description>
