Q: Will Tommy Lee

Jones direct any

more movies?

—M. M., Raleigh, N.C.

A: Yes—in fact, he directed and stars with Samuel L. Jackson in HBO’s The Sunset

Limited, debuting Feb. 12. “I always wanted to do other jobs—directing, writing, producing,” says Jones, 64. Coming up: Men

in Black III. “I get a kick out of being in that suit, shooting squid again.”

Q: Rachael Ray seems to still be married, but I see her sometimes without a ring. Why? —Peggy

A: You’re right: Ray, 42, remains happily married to John Cusimano. She just

Q: Jamie Bell was a hit in Billy Elliot . What’s he been up to since then? —David G.

Kucera, Manly, Iowa

A: After a string of supporting roles in fi lms including King Kong and Defi ance over the last 10 years, Bell, 24, is taking center stage again, opposite Channing Tatum in the Roman epic The Eagle. “I’ve really bided my time,” he says. “I took smaller parts and never got bothered that I wasn’t the main event.” Not that Bell isn’t competitive: “Channing and I were all about who got the fastest horse, the biggest sword. It was lots of fun and games.”

has a hard time keeping track of her bling. “I usually take off my wedding rings when I’m cooking with messy ingredients and then leave them places,” she says. “My husband is terrifi ed that I’m going to lose them, so two years ago he bought me a simple band of black diamonds. It doesn’t have

anything sticking out of it, so it doesn’t get caught while I’m using my hands. I’m a lucky son of a gun!”

Q: How much did the Who get paid for

last year’s Super Bowl hal� ime

show? —Steven

Naranjo, San Diego

A: According to a spokesperson

for the NFL, the league doesn’t pay artists an appearance fee—but it does cover expenses (including entourages). Plus, they get to play in front of a TV audience of 110 million. This year, the Black Eyed Peas have that honor.

WS: One of your episodes covers

moonshining—did you get to taste any?

L: You can’t hang out with them boys and not

taste some! That stuff is so doggone strong. You

can run a lawn mower on it.

How was traveling for 120 days?

It was a constant barrage of food. I started the

show at 238 pounds and fi nished at 280!

What do you hope the show teaches?

I want people to know we’re still a great country.

You have Cars 2 coming up as well.

character] “Daddy.”

Q: Was Kristen Stewart the � rst choice to play Bella in the Twilight � lms? —S. Rickabaugh, Johnstown, Pa.

A: Though Stephenie Meyer blogged that she initially liked Emily Browning for the role, once casting began, Stewart was the unanimous choice. The actress, 20, is currently shooting Parts 1 and 2 of the fi nal book, Breaking Dawn. The fi rst is out Nov. 18.

Kids Helping Kidshen i was growing up, collecting money for UNICEF on Halloween was very important to me. I really believed that when you carried around your little orange box, you were helping other children,” says Oscar-nominated actress and mom Julianne Moore. Those memories

came back to her after a 2008 trip to Appalachia with Save the Children, which is dedicated to fi ghting poverty and illiteracy in America. Determined to involve the next generation, Moore founded the Save the Children Valentine’s Day Card Contest. “I was looking for another holiday that kids could participate in by donating their time and money to help other kids. Valentine’s Day is huge for children. It’s about friendship. I

wanted to extend that to being friends with everybody in America.”For this year’s contest, children from across the country drew Valen-

tine’s Day cards and then voted on their favorites. The top fi ve winners are available for purchase at k2kusa.org for $25 a box (24 cards), with all proceeds going to Save the Children. “It is a way of sending money where it’s needed,” Moore says, “and teaching children that the little things they do can really make a difference.”—Kirsty Hughan

Ask Marilyn

by Marilyn vos Savant

How did Latin

become a “dead”

language?

—Abigail Woodbury,

Brookline, Mass.

Many people would say

that Latin is alive in the form of French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, which were once its dialects. Nevertheless, it is called dead because it’s no longer anyone’s native tongue. As the Roman Empire declined, the dialects became languages of their own. However, today Latin itself is experiencing a surge of popularity in schools. One reason could be J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, which is full of Latin spells. Now it’s the language of magic.

following in his footsteps,” Kasen says. “I know he’s going to be happy seeing me doing the exact same thing he did.”

Making it onto the PARADE All-America list “means a lot, especially coming out of Washington,” he says. “We have a lot of talent up here, but it’s not a big football state nationally.” Kasen was one of only two Washington players invited to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl last month in San Antonio, Tex., a national all-star game for high schoolers.

Kasen spends most of his time in Sammamish, a Seattle suburb, playing sports and

track-and-fi eld star, Kasen played in four state championship games—and his team won three. Kasen is a career record-holder at Skyline, with 232 receptions, 4,121 yards, and 56 touchdowns. This season he broke single-season numbers in all three stats, with 86 receptions, 1,579 yards, and 21 touchdowns.

“The records he set—I don’t know if they’ll ever be broken,” says Skyline head coach Mat Taylor.

Kasen believes he’ll continue his streak at Washington. “I feel like I’m hitting there at the perfect time,” he says. “After the season they had, and knowing that every year under Coach

In his four years on varsity at Sammamish’s Skyline High School, where he’s also a

for 48 years running,

PARADE has picked the top high school football players in America. This year, working with Sporting News, we chose 53 seniors from 22 states, whose on-the-fi eld performances represent the best of high school football. Meet fi ve of these standout players:

'MAKING THE LIST

COMING OUT OF WASHINGTON…

WE HAVE A LOT OF TALENT

UP HERE.'—KASEN WILLIAMS

leading parade’s list is our Player of the Year, Kasen Williams, an 18-year-old wide receiver from Sammamish, Wash.

Kasen, who likes The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (but isn’t a fan of video games), credits his father, Aaron—a former receiver for the St. Louis Cardinals—with passing along his passion for the game.

Kasen plans to attend his parents’ alma mater, the University of Washington, next fall. And he’s even hoping to wear the No. 2 jersey, the one his father wore as a receiver for the Huskies from 1979 to 1982. “It’s going to be me

DEE HART started playing football at age 3, when he would tag along with his older brothers and their friends in Avon Park, Fla.

“I like the excitement and adrenaline,” he says. “Sometimes I don’t like the calls, but that’s the beast of the game—you get used to it and you play.”

In his senior year at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, he rushed for 2,224 yards and set the state single-season touchdown record with 50. Dee, also named the U.S. Army National Player of the Year last month, doesn’t mind the stress that comes with his impressive stats: “My uncle always told me, ‘Pressure breeds titans,’ so I don’t get caught up in it.”

Dee is committed to Alabama for next season and is already thinking about life after college—which right now doesn’t necessarily include the NFL.

“I’m thinking bigger than that. I want to own football, own the team,” he says. He’ll major in business management but, he’s quick to note with a smile, wants to minor in criminal justice. “If it doesn’t work out in business, then I know I can go to the NYPD.”

[Steve] Sarkisian they’ve gone up and up, it’s big. Who knows where they’re going tobe a year or two years or three years from now? We could be talking the Rose Bowl or a national championship.”

Coach Taylor agrees, and he’s excited he’ll get to watch his star receiver play for the Huskies, who just won their fi rst bowl game in a decade. “Kasen’s a hard one to let go. Obviously I’ll miss his leadership and his statistics, but he’s also such a good person. You’re not going to fi nd a better kid.”

'THE RECORDS HE SET

—I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'LL

EVER BE BROKEN.'

—KASEN'S COACH, MAT TAYLOR

ASK RAY DREW to name his favorite

game from last season

and he instantly grins. “We played Lee County,” the Thomasville, Ga., defensive end says, “and I like to rush the quarterback. One play, I got in the quarterback’s face and hit him. Then I picked him up and said, ‘God bless you—I’ll be back.’ ” Thomas County Central won, 69–28.

When 18-year-old Ray isn't rushing QBs, he occasionally preaches at Paradise Missionary Baptist Church. “I don’t sit down and write out what I’m going to say,” the licensed minister says. “I just get up and go with it.”

Another place you’ll fi nd him on weekends: out fi shing. “I like it more than football,” he says. “It’s a chance to get away. The most exciting part is the fi ght you have with the fi sh.”

Ray—who had 64 tackles and six sacks this season—admits that his competitive side comes out in everything he does. “If you were to put a thousand-piece puzzle in front of me, I’d fi nish it. I don’t like anything to whup me.”

THOMASVILLE, GA.HEIGHT: 6'5"WEIGHT: 255 LBS

FOOTBALL WAS JUST for kids, Viliami Moala’s uncles told him. His family, which emigrated from Tonga to California about 20 years ago, had long considered rugby the real sport. But fi ve years ago, Viliami’s older brother Sione, a defensive end at Grant Union High School in Sacramento, changed all that.

“He tricked me one day and said, ‘We’re going to go to

a rugby game,’ ” Viliami recalls. “I put on my cleats, and he dropped me off at football practice.” After that day, he was hooked. “Football is where it’s at.”

The defensive tackle ended his senior season with 16 sacks and 128 tackles. To Viliami, the game provides the ultimate adrenaline rush: “I enjoy it—like when it’s fourth and 1, and you have to get that stop.” At 6 feet 3 and 335 pounds, he has earned the nickname “Tiny” from his team. “I’m not that fast, but I have brute strength.”

One song that pumps him up for the game: Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the U.S.A.”

“That gets me going. I got my teammates hooked on it,” Viliami says, laughing. “Now it’s a weekly routine before we practice. We put it on and I dance a little bit.”

With the season over, he’s savoring senior year. He plans to attend UC Berkeley next fall but says, “I don’t know if I’m ready to graduate yet. Too much love, especially for the cafeteria ladies. They always sneak me extra plates of food!”

He’s also not ready to move out of his family home, where he lives with his parents, grandparents, and fi ve siblings—“the best supporters I have.”

soccer team. Once Plymouth High School football coach Mike Sawchuk heard about Kyle’s powerful leg, he recruited the freshman to be the new varsity kicker. And playing both sports turned out to be easier than Kyle expected. “There were a lot of tweaks I had to make to my kicking, but my power was always

there. I willed myself to become the best I could possibly be.”

The 18-year-old is now the top kicker in Michigan, fi nishing his senior year with 19 fi eld goals and an average of 45 yards per punt. Next up: playing for Notre Dame this fall.

“I love facing adversity,” Kyle says. “When people put the odds against me, I always want to throw them back in their faces and say, ‘I accomplished everything you said I couldn’t.’ ”

But even after enduring seven operations on his right foot by age 12, he persevered. “I worked to get all the strength back in my leg and go out and play,” the Michigan resident recalls.

PARADE What will you be doing during the Super Bowl today? If you want to understand more of the game, you stay home and watch it on television. So I’ll be with a close-knit group of friends, making sure we don’t run out of hot dogs and grilling my special cheese-burgers. I’ll probably eat three or four hot dogs myself. I’ve never been able to duplicate the ones you get at a game, though. I’ve asked over and over where they get them, and they won’t tell you.

You were one of the commenta-tors for the fi rst Super Bowl, weren’t you?Yes, and a lot of people then thought that the idea of a Super Bowl was ridiculous. It wasn’t even sold out. Of course, it became the premier TV sports event. No one I know would miss it, except [laughs] may-be Kathie [Lee Gifford, his wife].

How would you rate today’s players?They’ve had the benefi t of plan-ning from the time they were in

high school, probably, to play pro football. With us it wasn’t that big a deal. I was the Giants’ No. 1 draft pick in 1952, and the only reason I joined the team was that I had just gotten married and we decided it would be fun to spend a year in New York. Today, some of the players are so great that they stand out a lot more than when I

played, especially quarterbacks like the Mannings and Brady. But after them, the playing goes down a notch. That may make some of the others mad at me, but it’s true.

What about the challenge of being a star player? They’re getting paid a lot more than I did. They’re enormously

wealthy, but they also get hounded by people who want to take advan-tage of them. They have to learn to deal with that.

Do you feel Michael Vick was treated fairly?I think people ought to get over it and let Vick put his life back to-gether. What he did was wrong, but people need to think about what kinds of infl uences he was subject to as a kid. Frankly, I think he’s one of the best ever to play the game, and I said that before he got into the dog trouble.

Tell us about the Monday night when your broadcast team had to break the news of John Lennon’s death.We were doing a game in Miami,

and our producer came on and said, “You’re not going to be-lieve this, but somebody just killed John Lennon. We gotta go with it.” And I said, “We’re not going with it until we make sure.” Earlier that year somebody had called the booth and said someone else had been shot, and when we called him back it was a wrong num-

ber. Those things could happen. So I said, “You get ahold of Roone

Arledge,” head of ABC Sports, and Roone got on the phone and said [it was true]. It shattered me. I told Howard [Cosell], “What you’re about to say is gonna rattle the world for a long time to come.” Be-cause to him, you know, John Len-non was just one of those Beatles. But Howard was terrifi c. I replayed it the other day, and I thought we handled it really well.

Frank gifford loves

the sport that made him a star both on and off the field. The

80-year-old NFL Hall of Famer went from a dazzling career with the New York Giants to Monday Night Football, where he was a com-mentator for more than two decades (in fact, he’s still featured on ESPN’s Monday night broadcasts). Here he shares memories and game-day menus with Jeanne Wolf.

Calling All Chocoholics!

I’m a chocoholic. A few years ago, I had a fl ourless chocolate souffl é

cake at a restaurant and thought, This is the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my entire life.

I went home and found a similar recipe online. It looked easy, but when I made it for a party it came out of the oven a brown, sunken-in, not-very-appetizing thing.

Everyone else brought along beautiful frosted cakes and fancy desserts—and there sat my lump of brown nothingness. But once people tried it, it was gone in seconds.

Since then, I’ve made one every single year. And each time someone says, “Okay, what’s this?” and then, “Oh my God! What is this?”

Singer Ingrid Michaelson has found the cake of her dreams

cle

P ”You’ll need a good 10-speed mixer to beat the egg whites into nice stiff peaks that will make the cake light and fl uffy—unlike my fi rst attempt, when I used a very old mixer.”

P “To make individual servings, substitute nine ramekins or small oven-safe coffee cups and bake 30 minutes.”

Michaelson’s latest hit single, “Parachute,”

is now available on iTunes. For

a chance to win one of 10 copies

of her most recent album, Everybody, visit

Just plug it in and hear what you’ve been missing.

With the Bose Wave® music system, there are no

stacks of components. No tangle of wires. No dials

to adjust. Advanced Bose technologies inside this

small system work together to fill the room with

the acclaimed performance that has made Bose the

most respected name in sound. Audio writer Wayne

Thompson of the Oregonian calls it “one-of-a-kind”

and “my choice for product of the year.” You enjoy

clear, realistic sound that you may have only thought

possible from a much larger, more complicated stereo.

In fact, Forbes FYI reports that “you’ll think you’re

listening to a…sound system that costs five times more.”

A roomful of premium sound…not wires. You buy

a sound system to listen to music. Not to spend

hours setting up equipment and connecting wires.

With the Wave® music system, you’ll experience the

pleasures of Bose quality sound moments after you

open the box. Rich Warren of the News-Gazette says

this easy-to-use system “will flat out seduce you.”

Enjoy the acclaimed performance in so many ways.

Listen to the Wave® music system in your living room,

kitchen, bedroom, wherever you want better sound.

Everything you need is built in: CD/MP3 CD player,

FM/AM tuner, clock and alarm. You control them all

with a convenient remote. Connect your TV or MP3

player, if you like. An optional Multi-CD Changer

makes it easy to listen to your favorite music for hours.

As David Novak, the Gadget Guy, says, “It can easily

replace whatever component system you currently have.”

Try it for 30 days, risk free. Experience the Wave®

music system in your own home risk free for 30 days.

Choose your favorite color: Platinum White, Graphite

Gray or Titanium Silver. And when you call, ask about

making 12 easy payments, with no interest charges

from Bose.* Order by March 31, 2011, and receive the

Control Pod free. This $39 value gives you easy access

to the functions you use most: on/off, volume, mute/

snooze. A non-skid pad, built-in magnet and mounting

bracket let you place it where you like. It can make

using your Wave® music system even more enjoyable.
