The top ticket

Her show,
“Minnelli on Min

her father, Vin

who directed the
classic musicals “Meet Me in St.
Louis” and “An American in Paris.”
The show will be written and di 1

It opens Dec. 1.
The 53-year-old Ms. Minnelli,
plagued in recent years by voice

her throat and her hip.

healthy again — so I’m doing every

After Stella, actor Taye Diggs grapples with sue;
NEW YORK (AP) — It does not take much to figure
out why Taye Diggs makes women swoon.
Just one look at his smooth, unblemished skin usu
ally does it. Or his taut, lean muscular body. Or that
steamy shower scene in How Stella Got Her Groove Back.
As he relaxes in a pinstriped suit in a midtown hotel,
the bespectacled Diggs professes not to understand what
it is about him that makes women so hot and bothered.
“I try to intellectualize it, and you can’t. A lot of it is
the fact is that 1 don’t feel like I’m worth someone
screaming about,” said one of People magazine’s 50
Most Beautiful people.
What everyone’s screaming about is a 29-year-old
Rochester, N. Y., native who is fast becoming one of Hol
lywood’s brightest new stars. His film debut in 1997 as
Angela Bassett’s sexy young Jamaican lover in Stella
made him an instant star — and a sex symbol. Since
then, he is blazed the screen in Go and
The Wood.
In his new film, The Best Man, Dig
gs plays a newly published author
whose supposedly fictional book about
love and romance threatens to wreak
havoc on his best friend’s nuptials as his
old buddies try to decipher hidden clues
about their own lives in the book. The
Universal Pictures release opens Oct. 22.

It is a far cry from his childhood in Rochester, where
he and his four younger brothers and sisters lived in the
gritty part of the city. Young Scott Diggs (Taye is his nick

Rochester’s School of the Arts.
My mother said, ‘You’re talented, so go to
school so you can work on this,’” he remembers.
“I was upset because I wanted to go to a school
that had sports. I wanted to play on the athletic teams
and what not. Then 1 took all the classes — I took dance
classes, I took singing classes and acting classes and en
joyed doing them all equally.”
It was then that the young Diggsbeganio

From the School of Arts, Diggs wenttoty
