He’s still so clearly capable of dominating a basketball game at a level hardly anyone in the world can match.  And it leads to one question more important than what he did over this last month: How are the Los Angeles Lakers screwing up this chapter of his career so badly...

The 45-year-old actress starred in some of the biggest hit films of the 2000s including 'Mean Girls' and 'The Notebook' but is now set to take on the title role in the new play 'Mary Jane' and admitted that she found the prospect of taking to The Great White Way to be "intimidating" to begin with.  Speaking on 'The Broadway Show with Tamsen Fadal', she told host Paul Wontorek: "[I'm] terrified, absolutely terrified. "I was intimidated to take it on, so there was always something hold me back a little bit."  In the play, Rachel plays a singer mother with an ailing son living in Jackson Heights and despite her nerves, is hopeful that she will get to star in another Broadway show at some point in her career. She said: "It just got its hooks in me and I was like, ‘There’s something in the universe that’s telling me this is the one. Hopefully no...
