Q. Ally Walker of Profiler
' seemed to disappear
after that show. What ever
happened to her?
D. Taggart, Blue Ash, Ohio
Walker, 46, married and a
mom of three boys, didn’t
want to work much. But now
she’s in HBO’s Tell Me You
Love Me. “When I started
reading it, I was floored,”
she says. “I said, ‘Yeah, I
want to do this.’ ” When you
play a woman in a marriage
without sex, you end up talking about sex. Walker,
whose husband is FX exec John Landgraf, acknowl
edges TeU Me “is a hard show to watch because it
brings up so much that we don’t want to deal with.”
Q> Have Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, once the darlings

hit was You’ve Got Mail in 1998, but she hopes
for a comeback in a remake of The Women.
Inside Edition's Deborah Norvilie thinks that it's
time for the Katie Couric critics to stop. CBS's
hype before Courk's debut as CBS Evening

Q. What new personal or career updates do you have on
Vincent D'Onofrio? Les Iwrey, Farmington Hills, Mich.
Look for D’Onofrio’s Laiv & Order Criminal Intent
on USA Network this season. It debuted earlier this
month. Also, know that he’s in it for the long haul. “I
don’t have any plans to go anywhere,” he says. He
made two movies last summer simultaneously be
cause one was shot on Staten Island and the other in
Brooklyn, N.Y. D’Onofrio, 48, lives in New York, where
his family is. He loves his family: He says “hi” to his
mom when he’s on The Vieio, which he only agrees to
appear on because it’s her favorite show. He has a
wife and two kids and laughs
when I ask if his priorities
have changed since he was a
young actor. Now it’s about
“keeping the bills paid. It’s
what I live for.”

Dierks Bentley, 31, will bring his A game to Big State
Festival in Bryan-College Station, Texas, this weekend.
So will Tim McGraw, Lyle Lovett and others performing
there. "Texas is a tough crowd because they get a lot of
great music down there," Bentley .
says, meaning that performers put 1

out the bells and whistles of acts ■
like McGraw's. So he jumps into the N
crowd. "If I can't have a video screen,
I'll bring my stage to you," he says.
Besides, country fans are good
people. "I have no fear of my
audience. There's so much
love out there." But some
times he returns to the f
stage without a few things
—"pieces of my shirt a brace

When Judith Light 58, took a "two or
three episode" supporting part in ABCs
