That was Cary Elwes, who, after a promising early run of good-guy leading roles, seems to have settled into a more diverse supporting career that includes playing the occasional dirtbag. Like the stepfather, Arnold, in 2007's "Georgia Rule."

Without giving away too much to those who haven't seen the comedy-drama starring Jane Fonda and Lindsay Lohan (in the midst of her well-publicized career breakdown), Elwes's character is not the good guy.

Though he certainly hasn't been busy by any standard, comedy icon Bill Cosby never quite retired.

However, for the past few years he's stuck mostly to live gigs and an occasional talk show appearance. That will change on Nov. 24, though, when Comedy Central releases "Far From Finished," Cosby's first comedy special in 30 years.

"Far From Finished" is a suitable title, directly answering the question you and many others have been asking.

Q: I heard that Tyra Banks sings the lyrics to the theme of "America's Next Top Model." Is that true?

Author:

If you're referring to the song whose only lyrics are "You wanna be on top? Nananananana," then, yes, she sings those.

However, that rather simplistic opening theme is just one example of how supermodel-turned-TV producer Tyra Banks has used her series as a stepping stone into yet another new business: pop stardom.
