LOS ANGELES (AP) — All of a sudden Eddie
Murphy’s back, with a box-office leader in a re
make of The Nutty Professor. But how long can
Demi Moore last as Hollywood’s highest-paid ac
tress with the fourth-place debut of Striptease on
the heels of her Scarlet Letter flop?
The Nutty Professor, a retelling of the 1963 Jer
ry Lewis film, brought in $25.4 million — far sur
passing industry projections. It was Murphy’s sec
ond-best opening ever, trailing only Beverly Hills
Cop 2, which made $33 million during its first
weekend in 1987.
In its first three days of release, The Nutty Pro
fessor collected more than Murphy’s last film,
1995’s Vampire in Brooklyn, grossed during its en
tire North American run.
“He’s so excited today,” the film’s producer,
Brian Grazer, said of Murphy. “Eddie and I
were tense about this thing for a year. But now
he’s vindicated.”
Murphy was one of the biggest stars of the
1980s, with movies like Beverly Hills Cop, 48
HRS. and Trading Places, but hasn’t enjoyed a
legitimate hit since 1988’s Coming to America.
His string of disappointments includes Harlem
Night, Boomerang and The Distinguished Gentle
man.
Moore’s Striptease, a story about a mother
who works as an exotic dancer, also exceeded in
dustry projections, but those projections had
been far more conservative because of the terri
ble reviews.
Some executives expected the film to take in no
more than $8 million. Instead, it grossed $12.3
million — nearly matching the record paycheck
Moore received for starring in the film.
More ominously. Striptease slipped badly from
Friday to Sunday, suggesting the film had poor
word-of-mouth.
The performance of Striptease is not expected to
remove Moore from the top of the payroll charts,
though, as other top actresses also struggle at the
box office.
Horn was looking on the bright side. “It’s not as
if this is another Showgirls,” he said, referring to
last year’s debacle.

and best of all, Tom Jones, Mr.
Lounge Singer himself, is about to
sing. You just can’t wait to hear
“It’s Not Unusual” and swill an
other free martini.
But much to your chagrin,
Jones starts singing Bob Mar-
ley songs.
That’s pretty much what One
Love: Tribute to Bob Marley
sounds like.
Almost every song on One
Love is a watered-down,
muzak-esque mess. From “Re
demption Song” to “I Shot the
Sheriff” (sung by Clevelend
Watkiss and Tony Remy), these
weak covers are more reminis
cent of strolling through a de
partment store than along the
beaches of Jamaica.
A bunch of singers (whose
names really don’t ring a bell at
all) gathered to pay tribute to
this legendary rasta man.
Granted, the singing is consis
tently powerful, and the singer’s
lack of notoriety, at least in the
mainstream musical field, does
not hurt the album. But what
those seemingly talented singers
have done to Marley’s music,
does though.
It’s almost as if the intention
of the album was to make Mar
ley’s hip music more savory to
the 30- and 40-something crowd
who enjoyed Marley’s music
firsthand. The grave error is
process, they alte
more than the sound
of his mu-
and peace
ful vibe
the music
gives, for
the sake
of chang
ing the
sound or
tempo of
Marley’s
originals.
In the
red much
This is not your typical tril
ute album. Rather than breati
ing new life into a past genera
tion’s music, the artists on Out
Love have positively deflated
Marley’s masterpieces.
The result is one big, sappy
reggae-like disaster. Clearly
Marley is not a musician to be
messed with.
Bob Marley fans beware:
you’re better off listening to
the real thing. One Love is a
shameful, shallow attempts!
a tribute.

Soundgarden
Continued from Page 3
the song would put it in the middle of the
pack, but not on this effort. Songs such as
“Burden In My Hand,” “Blow Up The Outside
World” and “Ty Cobb” stand out because of
their lyrics. But all the other songs just run
together musically, so you have trouble mak
ing out the lyrics.
By the end of the album you start to wonder
why Soundgarden would put a 20-minute song
on the album. Then you realize it’s five different
songs with nothing in common except the music.
And the music is just not worth 20 minutes of
listening-even if there are some good lyrics.
This is a shame? Because the lyrics of Down
On The Upside are the only thing that make the
album worth buying. Lead singer/songwriter
Cornell might have lost his metal edge, but he
still writes good lyrically. “Diamond rope silver
chain /Pretty noose is pretty pain /And I don’t

If you like Soundgarden for the lyrics, then
Down On The Upside is worth picking up. But if
you like Soundgarden for the music, then you
will probably want to pass on this one.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Paul
Reiser has to wait a few more
weeks to find out whether he’s
an Emmy nominee for his hit
TV show “Mad About You.”
Either way, he’ll be part of the
September awards ceremony:
He’s the host.
Reiser, a previous best
comedy series actor nominee,
was named host Monday by
ABC and the Academy of
Television Arts & Sciences.
It will be Reiser’s first
appearance as an Emmy host.
He does have experience,
though. He was the host of the
"People’s Choice Awards” and
"The Grammy Awards” in 1994.
Nominations for the 48th
Annual Primetime Emmy
Awards are to be announced
July 18. The awards ceremony is
to be broadcast live by ABC on

The restaurant is filled with
