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.

Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson & Kate Hudson in love triangle or just friends?
| jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, owen wilsonStar 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."
