...where his country is, but we both know how to work it. He and his fellow swimmer Paula Barila Bolopa, who swam the 50-m in 1:03.97, doubling the second worst time, had received money to be interviewed by Australian papers. And Moussambani had already turned down an ad campaign. "Speedo offered to sponsor me, but I didn't like the contract," he said, eating baked Alaska as the waitress came over with a stack of menus to be signed. "Michael Johnson was here two days ago, and we didn't ask for his autograph," she said. After signing...
...Seeing an ad for a "female Latina boxing chick," she showed up for the "Girlfight" open call. Despite the fact she arrived late and did nothing more than say her name and where she was from, she was one of three women called back. Indeed, pitted against nearly 350 other actresses and feeling out of place at the call, Rodriguez became pessimistic and upset during the "Girlfight" audition, her dark, mesmerizing eyes turning fiery with frustration...

Appearing on Regis (with Susan from Survivor and a guy slicing wood with his hand), Bush went through a wardrobe change so that he could walk onstage dressed exactly like...Regis. Thank God Kathie Lee retired, or he might have donned spandex...
...fortunes of the likes of Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Timberland over the past decade are testimony to the power of hip-hop as American taste-maker. Initially, the effect is achieved by unsolicited appropriation - Ralph Lauren's ads were full of white preppies, but that didn't stop the hip-hop generation from buying his wares. Lauren's ad agency acknowledged that much by inserting Tyson Beckwith into the preppy mix, launching the career of the first black male supermodel.
