This week's issue of People, on newsstands Friday, features 12 pages of new photos of the pop star with husband Marc Anthony and their 1 month old bundles of joy inside their Long Island home and nursery.

At first, when the sound equipment failed and random musicians began taking the stage for impromptu sets between the 24-Hour Plays being performed at the Atlantic Theater, it was grim. Between the first two plays, a person who may or may not have been a stagehand came out and performed an Ani DiFranco song. (We knew it was that, because we went to college.) Later, she sang an Irish ditty, it being Saint Patrick's Day. We looked around. What torture would come next? Then something inexplicable and magical happened.
Out of nowhere, actor Ethan Hawke hopped up onstage, strapped on an acoustic guitar and bared his soul to the audience. "Someone I know wrote this song while shooting a movie in Paris during his divorce," he said. We, along with the rest of the audience, gasped. He was totally talking about himself, and more important, Uma Thurman!

Wait, but didn't they get divorced seventeen years ago? Who cares, we said to ourselves, because by the way, Ethan looks good. He proceeded to sing a ditty that included lyrics about "not caring if [he] ever saw New York again," "the lawyers," and — most telling — "my wife." Uma! "My wife hates me," he sang, adding something about how she would call him a prick, how he longed to send for his children, tralalala singing stuff. We were intoxicated, both with beverages and with memories of Dead Poets Society. And then! "My wife is a big fat beast," he sang. We gasped, along with the rest of the audience. He called Uma fat! In public! Sheepishly, Hawke broke his musicianly stride: "Yeah, I was very upset at the time." And still is, we suspect.

Star has learned that after word got out about Jennifer and Owen's explosive chemistry, Goldie Hawn's daughter raced back to Florida to pour on the charm.

"When Kate heard that Owen was going to work with Jen, she wasn't worried, because she thought Jen was older and not Owen's type," says an insider. Plus, the two women have been friends for years. "Besides, Jen used to date Vince Vaughn, and Kate knows that Owen is Vince's good friend and that Vince still cares for her. But once Owen started raving to Kate about Jen, saying how cool and pretty she is and how much he liked working with her, Kate got worried."

Even though Jennifer has recently been linked to Brian Bouma, a crew member on her last movie, Traveling, Kate has cause for concern. Eyewitnesses in Miami say that Owen and Jen are growing closer as they play an on-screen husband and wife.

"They're laughing all the time and always touching and hugging, even when the cameras aren't rolling," says a source. "Their connection is amazing!"

They've been meeting up after hours, too, sources tell Star. Owen is staying at a private home on exclusive Star Island, and Jen is at the deluxe Mandarin Oriental hotel. But on March 14, the actor was spotted entering the Mandarin — and he didn't leave until 10:30 a.m. the next day.

"He arrives and leaves when no one is around," says a source in Miami. "They seem to be trying not to be seen together."

Kate was in Miami earlier in the month but left for New York — with son Ryder — to see her ex-hubby Chris Robinson. But word soon drifted back about Owen and Jen's hot connection — and Kate quickly returned to Florida. She flew in on Saturday, March 15, says a source, and spent the night with Owen on Star Island. Later that weekend, the couple were spotted at a private classical concert at the Lincoln Theater in Miami Beach.

"They looked adorable together," says an eyewitness. "At one point, Owen put his hand on Kate's leg. She was giggling like a schoolgirl. They didn't seem to hide their affection."

Colin Farrell will never star in a big budget movie again - because he is sick of working for producers whose sole aim is to make money.

The Hollywood star - who spearheaded the blockbusters 'Alexander' in 2004 and 2006's 'Miami Vice' - has learned from his experiences on mega-budget productions, and is adamant he will never be part of such a high-pressure working environment again.

"If you are on a film such as 'Miami Vice' or 'Alexander' that has a budget that is healthily north of $100m (€64m), you can pretend that it's all about the work, but there's a certain amount of pressure.

"You have decided to walk into a world where the most important thing is financial return and you are going to get a call on Saturday telling you what the Friday opening was.

"I've been on the receiving end of a couple of those calls and it's horsesh**t. I don't want to play in that world any more."

Oprah Winfrey is giving away millions on her new hit, "Oprah's Big Give." But the talk queen refuses to share a dime with a Boston mom who claims she gave Winfrey the idea for the show.

Darlene Tracy, a mother of four with no experience in TV producing, claims that, way back in February 2005, she hatched the concept for a reality show called "The Philanthropist," in which contestants are challenged to help the needy.

Tracy claims she sent her pitch to Ellen Rakieten, executive producer of Winfrey's talk show, and that Rakieten and another producer, Jennifer Thornton, wrote back to ask for more details.

Tracy contends she shipped off a fine-tuned business proposal on March 1, 2005. Four months later, Thornton allegedly told Tracy that Oprah's company, Harpo Productions, was going to pass.

Then, in November 2006, Winfrey announced on her show that she was giving money to audience members so they could help their communities. The following month, she and ABC announced they were teaming up for "Big Give." Tracy, representing herself, promptly filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in Boston seeking to stop "Big Give" from airing.

Lawyers for Chicago-based Winfrey argued that Massachusetts wasn't the place to fight this battle. Judge Rya Zobel dismissed Tracy's action, without an opinion.

Tracy has since hired a lawyer and filed an appeal that documents her contact with Winfrey's Harpo Productions and sets forth similarities between "The Philanthropist" and "Big Give."

A Winfrey spokesman tells us: "We agree with the judge that [Tracy's] claims against Harpo Productions, Inc. are without merit."

But could the suit affect Oprah's future deals? We hear that Winfrey and Rakieten have been shopping a companion "Big Give" book. Winfrey is said to have bypassed Random House because its Crown division signed Kitty Kelley to dig dirt on her.

Instead, we hear, she's been talking to Simon & Schuster - but the prospect of having Tracy name the house in her suit has chilled the deal. Reps for the publisher and Harpo insist that there are no plans for a "Big Give" book.

Oprah's spokesman says she's "confident that the Court of Appeals will agree that Tracy has no claim."

A source close to Tracy argues, "Oprah's side has conceded that they didn't have a philanthropy show in development until they got Darlene's pitch. Stealing a show about altruism is more than a little ironic."
