Alley's new series, Veronica's Closet (NBC, Thursdays, 9:30 p.m. E.T.), promises more laughs. She stars as the glamorous Veronica ("Ronnie") Chase, a lingerie mogulette saddled with a philandering husband and cheeky employees who suggest she pose for the company's ads by having her head morphed onto someone else's body. As she did on Cheers, Alley mines the insecurities behind her character and herself. "Ronnie," she admits, "is an exaggerated version of me"--right down to the weight problems and the messy public divorce. Alley separated last year from Stevenson, her husband of 13 years...
...Ronnie Chase, owner of the lingerie house Veronica's Closet, tells millions of women how to feel sexy. Yet her response to a question about the last time she had sex is, "When did that Ferris Bueller movie come out?"

Spokesman Michael Frilling says clients are as old as 100, and the total number of participants could easily triple by 2020. In Chevy Chase, Md., travel agent Helena Koenig, 67, packages "Grandtravel" tours that bring together adventurous grandparents and their grandkids for trips to destinations as exotic as Kenya. "It's the most exciting travel market out there," Koenig says...
...readers hadn't wanted to stand in the supermarket check-out lines and devour Di in her pink-flowered swimsuit in the Mediterranean with Dodi in shades and shorts on his father's yacht, would there have been a phalanx of photographers in a high-speed chase to capture yet another glimpse of the couple? There's an audience for celebrity pap, and when the mainstream press doesn't pander to it directly, it does so indirectly by tabloid laundering: writing about how crazy it is that the tabloids spend so much time covering a royal romance, and then running...
