...course, since Hurley stars in Bedazzled opening today... I find it slightly disturbing that the London tabloids named Rocco Ritchie, Madonna's newborn son, as one of Britain's most eligible bachelors. The poor thing has enough to worry about with burping, teething, and his mother's cloying, fake accent-money-grubbers and prenups should be the last thing on this mind.... Both Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez were seen pigging out on McDonald's hamburgers. What wasn't seen, of course, was their subsequent trips to the bathroom to vomit... Met a girl who told me, "You have...
...Moser advises us to track down a "fake book," a collection of lead sheets to popular songs. I go to a music store and buy a fake book of jazz standards.

Then screen the edgier Let It Be (1970), the documentary that recorded the Fab Four's final days: the film is in gritty color, and the music is tougher. The lads are now men, their hair grown down to their shoulders. McCartney's full beard...
...better for parents in a bad marriage to divorce or stay together for the kids' sake? The issue comes down to one thing: the truth [SOCIETY, Sept. 25]. Are we so blind as to think that a child cannot see through parents' fake smiles? You cannot blame divorce for children's problems.
