SOLID AS A ROCK
His name is Rock. No, not The Rock or Kid Rock. Chris Rock. The brazenly observant comedian's Down to Earth, a remake of Warren Beatty's 1978 Heaven Can Wait, is anything but earthbound as it graces this week's No. 1 spot. Though he's no stranger to the chart, Down to Earth marks Rock's first big starring role, and it's the first time that he's held the top slot all by himself. Now, if only he can keep The Wedding Planner's Jennifer Lopez from getting too big for her considerable britches.
