...reach the top of today's pop charts, you need a bare midriff, jailbaiting lyrics or, failing that, you could have Don Ho for a dad. HOKU, who used to sing Tiny Bubbles onstage with her papa Don as a toddler, is now a 19-year-old bombshell midway through her first national tour of the U.S., promoting her hit single, Another Dumb Blonde. The girl-empowerment anthem contains such coming-of-age epiphanies as "Lately I've just come to find/That you're not really interested/In my heart or mind." A devout Christian and onetime Tommy Hilfiger model, Hoku...

While there are plenty of cheaper pedometers that measure motion and extrapolate steps, I liked the elegant design of this one enough to pay the difference.

Of course, you could...

Lazio may be more willing to add some rough edges to his Little League, High School Stamp Club and Youth for Ford persona if his early successes hadn't come without his having had to bare his teeth.
