THE BUZZ Kevin McDonough; Rafer Guzmán; Robert Kahn Mixing commerce (not concrete) with Tony Giving it his best shot BY JOHN ANDERSON "There's that old Canadian joke," Donald Sutherland is saying, "about the Brit, the Frenchman and the Canadian, who are going to be executed. And they're given a last wish. The Brit says he'd like a cup of tea with milk and sugar. The Canadian says he'd like 15 minutes to talk about Canadian identity. And the Frenchman says he'd like to be shot before the Canadian." HOT STUFF MOVIES FAST CHAT Q & A: Jessica Lange BY LEWIS BEALE To say that Jessica Lange has had a nontraditional life is to understate the obvious. The 56-year-old actress' first film was the disastrous 1976 remake of "King Kong," a picture that could have single-handedly killed her career. But the Minnesota native, who proved to have the talent to go along with her looks, eventually won Oscars for "Tootsie" and "Blue Sky." She also had notable affairs with Bob Fosse, Mikhail Baryshnikov and her current longtime lover, playwright-actor Sam Shepard. In movies like "Frances," Lange gained a reputation for playing high-strung women, many of them with serious emotional problems. And she's never played the Hollywood game, preferring to live as far away from Tinseltown as possible.

Hitting the 'High' notes BY KEVIN AMORIM High School Musical Soundtrack. (Walt Disney Records) TAKE 5 Office browsing Andy Edelstein By turns nerdy, bullying, sycophantic and authoritarian, Dwight Schrute, the assistant to the regional manager of Dunder Mifflin (played by Rainn Wilson) on NBC's "The Office," is, by far, the coolest character on TV. He's even created his own MySpace.com page where you can learn all about him. Here are five key things to know: POP 
Indie vs. major: A power shiftGlenn Gamboa Robert F.X. Sillerman, best known as the man who built the concert monolith SFX Entertainment, knows how to get a room all shook up. SONIDOS LATINOS Piano is key for pair of jazz players Ed Morales The piano plays a crucial dual role in Latin music since it acts as both a percussive instrument, pounding out rhythmic imperatives embedded in the music, and as a translator of the sometimes hidden melodies of the drum. As much as one's attention is drawn by the percussionist, the horn players or even the vocalist, sometimes it seems as if the whole enterprise is flowing primarily through the piano. Two recent jazz releases show how a maturing generation of pianists are reinterpreting this role. SINGLE FILE Susan Deitz DEAR SUSAN: Just like your reader Andrea, I've been dating a Trouble Man for the past year, maybe twice a month. (He and I are 60). You told her she can "learn a lot from" hers. I want to know what she can learn so I can think about my situation and learn from it. -Pegeen P., Long Island TALKING WITH John Weir: A COMIC NOVELIST RETURNS AFTER A 17-YEAR HIATUS BY JANICE P. NIMURA Back in the mid-1980s, John Weir watched a lot of his friends die. Their bodies fell apart before his eyes and then they were gone, still in their early 20s, without any sense of who they might become. Weir bore witness to their lives with a novel, "The Irreversible Decline of Eddie Socket," published in 1989. Its title character is a directionless young gay man who falls in love, learns he is HIV positive and dies, horribly and in relatively short order. It was a novel for the age of AIDS: not a coming-of-age, but a coming-of-death. WHAT'S NEW Thriller In the mood for Romance BY ARIELLA BUDICK The English romantic Samuel Palmer labored hard on his fantasies. He painted primeval twilit landscapes, full of sentient, rippling hills and sinewy branches gesticulating in the frosted moonlight. An early sketchbook contains a twisting, muscled torso and a stately tree; it was the marriage of the human and the vegetal that begat his writhing forests and suffering shrubs.
