Cee Lo Green's 'Forget You' helps push his new album
Nicholas Sambaluk
MUSIC
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
NEW YORK — Looks can be deceiving. The 36-year-old Cee Lo Green enjoys dazzling people, but he is human and totally aware of how useful eccentricity can be.
"I am a rare occasion," he said, turning the word "rare" into a purring roar. "I think if everyone had known it was going be me who succeeded, they would have supported me a lot more. They would have known what to do with me a lot earlier. They just didn't know."
Green has dealt with the music industry's attempts to squeeze his major talent into manageable packages. His label Goodie Mob helped invent the Dirty South sound that brought hip-hop into the 21st century; Green was the rapper-singer whose musical flow pointed to new styles of rhyming later picked up by the likes of Lil Wayne.
Green (born Thomas Callaway) made a few far-out solo albums after leaving Goodie Mob in 1999.
GREEN
"This project is neatly defined, for the first time in my career," he said of the new album, released last week.
"The Lady Killer" has already proven to be a gift that keeps on giving. Its first single, the mirthfully profane "Forget You," became the viral hit of late summer in its uncensored version and established Green's new identity as the harbinger of forward-thinking retro-soul.
"Forget You" bubbles along on the trickster spirit of cognitive dissonance, its kiss-off to an unfaithful lover turning into an affirmation of self-love. The song cracked the Billboard Top 20, gave Green his first No. 1 hit in England, and set up "The Lady Killer" as one of the fall's major album releases.
"It definitely has a silver lining," he said of the song's mix of bubbulous melody and nasty lyrics. "It's what the English would call 'tongue in cheek.' It's just meant to be funny, really."
The single's modernized dooop sound is just one example of Green's time traveling on "The Lady Killer". Tracks like the bourbon-mellow "Old Fashioned" ("I'm right on time," sings Green, "and I'm timeless!") and the bouncy "Cry Baby" pull from gospel and Otis Redding-style grit.

Q&A with 'Harry Potter' antagonist Tom Felton
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Tom Felton has played Draco, son of Lucius (Jason Isaacs in the films), the Hogwarts bully, Slytherin slimeball and always in Harry's way during each phase of the wolf wizard quest
We reached Felton, 23,
a native of Surrey,
England, an
enthusiastic musician
and established child
actor ("The Borrower")
before "Harry Potter" came along, in London.
Q. What's been the most fun about Draco's journey?
A. The last year or two, the last part of that journey, has been a joy. It's so nice to have established a character who grows from childish bully to scottish teen, and
He's questioning his relationship with his father. He's petrified. Lord Voldemort has crashed his house, and believe you me, he does NOT make a pleasant houseguest. All that makes things him question who he is and why he is the way he is.
then have the chance to explore,
in the last films, why he's like that.
Hopefully, after all the years of
hate for poor Draco, he'll get a bit
of empathy, now.
FELTON
A. Oh, we've been passionate about these films from the start. But we're giving it all we've got in these final ones, to make sure we go out with a bang.
Q. There's an urgency to the performances in "Deathly Hallows: Part 1."
A. The great thing I think we've all derived from these films is making a lot of people happy. I was at the premiere realizing how
Q. What's been the best fringe benefit of being in the "Potter" films?
fantastic it is to be able to make a child's day just by signing a piece of paper. We've brought something children love to life. That's our great reward.
Q. So with the last "Harry Potter" film in the can, what do you have planned for the future?
A. I'm launching an independent record label to put some of my stuff (search "Feltbeats" on YouTube). And I just finished "Rise of the Apes," a "Planet of the Apes" prequel, and I was down in New Orleans doing a part in this independent film about golf, "From the Rough." Did another one with Ashley Greene called "The Apparition."
Q. You've been growing up on set, for a decade, with the cream of British acting. Who have you learned the most from?
A. They're all inspiring and if you watch them, you can't help but learn something. Jason Isaacs has been very helpful for me as a young actor.
Darling, I am afraid you look more worn out than a college boy's drinking wrist on Sunday morning.

Films fight for revenue during Thanksgiving
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — The best Thanksgiving clash won't be over who has to sit at the kids' table. The more interesting battle is Hollywood's holiday weekend campaign to seize family and female moviegoers — without being undone by the leftovers of the penultimate "Harry Potter" film.
Four movies will premiere in wide release on Wednesday, double the total from last Thanksgiving: Screen Gems' musical romance "Burlesque," 20th Century Fox's romantic dramedy "Love & Other Drugs." Disney's animated fairy tale "Tangled" and CBS Films' revenge thriller "Faster."
Even though the studios are widely (and perhaps rightly) criticized for making few movies aimed at women, their Y-chromosome partiality is not obvious over next week's holiday break. "Burlesque," "Love & Other Drugs" and "Tangled" are all chasing women as their primary audience. Disney is betting that a lot of moms — and maybe a few dads — will bring their children to its animated retelling of the Rapunzel story. The only new entry aimed squarely at men and older boys is "Faster," an R-rated action film starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
"There was nothing going after this audience," Robert Teitel, a producer of "Faster," says of the decision to schedule the film as counterprogramming. CBS Films hopes that Johnson, a former professional wrestler who has recently been making kiddie fare such as "Tooth Fairy," "Race to Witch Mountain" and "The Game Plan," can recapture the patrons who attended his earlier, more violent works, including "The Rundown," "Walking Tall" and "The Scorpion King."
"Dwayne has never looked better, and if he is going to come back in the format, you had to bring him back bad — he's on a total revenge path and nothing gets in the way to stop him," Teitel says. "You get behind his character right away." CBS Films, which has been advertising "Faster" on its sister broadcast network, hopes that women who took their children to Johnson's PG-rated family films and came to like the actor might turn out for this movie as well.
Last summer, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" grossed $158 million in its first five days, and $77.8 million in its first three-day weekend. More worrisome to the four new films is that "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" grossed $29.5 million in its second weekend.
