...Subway Series. From a historical perspective, yes, this is the epic collision of the Queen Mary with a cigarette boat. The Yankees have notched 25 world championships in the better part of a century in the Bronx; the Mets just two since their inaugural season in 1962. The Yankee pinstripes are a sports icon; the Mets' blue-and-orange were themselves a knockoff, a combination of Dodger blue and Giants orange, two teams that with the Yankees defined the Subway Series from the first in 1921 to the last in 1956.

...Ellard and Fort Apache Studios, in Somerville, Mass. Fort Apache is a Beantown favorite, boasting the major-label successes of Radiohead, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Morphine. Ellard is the first-call engineer there and has earned engineering experience both in England and the U.S. working with acts from Queen to Coolio. Of course, the question of finances weighed greatly on our collective-band-mind. Both the Fort and Ellard gave us significant discounts because The Humming's album would be independently funded (major labels give their clients anywhere from 30,000 to multi-million dollar advances, drastically increasing...

...Queen of Nice, but ROSIE O'DONNELL seems to have higher ambitions than royalty. Like sainthood. Claiming that she's "sick of all the crap" that goes along with being host of a daytime talk show, O'Donnell tells the November issue of Ladies' Home Journal that she plans to quit her highly profitable show when her contract runs out in 2002 so that she can concentrate on facilitating adoptions. O'Donnell, who has four adopted tykes of her own, recently opened a Rosie Adoptions office in New Jersey, and she already claims responsibility for 39 adoptions, including...

...rather, "Bette." The diva-ish drama queen Midler plays fuses the real woman's resume--a famous singer- actress who started out singing in New York City's gay bathhouses, starred in Beaches and so on--with the persona of the Divine Miss M, the blowsy, flighty, attention-craving alter ego Midler created in her stage shows.

"You can't have...
