Hanson is making the biggest splash--the trio's MMMBop is currently the No. 2 song on Billboard's singles chart. The group is composed of three brothers: Zachary (drums), 13-year-old Taylor (keyboards) and 16-year-old Isaac (guitar). You'd be hard-pressed to find more appealing youngsters. Raised largely in Tulsa, Okla., they are endearingly innocent and spontaneously rambunctious. Their mother schools the three (and three younger siblings) at home, and their father works as a financial exec for an oil-drilling company. The family traveled a lot, and the brothers passed the time listening...
...compounds known as phytoestrogens, which are estrogens produced by plants. Forget the fact that tofu doesn't taste particularly good, Shandler breezily advises. "It's like flour. Flour is a useful ingredient. Nobody expects it to taste good." Just throw a little silken tofu into a blender, add a splash of vanilla extract, a sprinkling of cocoa powder, a dollop of maple syrup, and you'll see. "I truly love this food," she insists, and so, apparently, do her husband and kids...
Such a vision, expressed so unabashedly by a bona fide member of the academic elite, stands to make a splash in the upmarket reaches of academia, theology and perhaps even among mainline Protestant preachers. In the meantime, however, a fellow revivalist is stirring up more populist waters. Joni Eareckson Tada, a quadriplegic since a diving accident at age 17, is well-known in conservative Protestantism. She appeared on a Billy Graham Crusade, wrote a best-selling autobiography whose royalties she used to found a religious organization to aid the handicapped, and has a radio program airing on 700 stations. Like...
...Copeland, whose peach-colored Straya restaurant, complete with palm trees and enough neon to guide air traffic, brings a splash of Las Vegas and Miami Beach to a decaying stretch of New Orleans' elegant St. Charles Avenue, bit back 48 hours later with a two-page ad of his own. Copeland, who favors ostrich-skin cowboy boots and is known across Louisiana as a powerboat racer and founder of Popeyes spicy-fried-chicken chain, began his volley with "Dear Anne" and ended with "P.S.: See you in court. In the meantime, I'm putting a little extra garlic...
Your basic movie-mogul breakfast menu would include strawberries, decaf, a splash of Evian, maybe a Diet Coke. But Harvey Weinstein has never got with fit-for-life cuisine. One morning at the recent Sundance Film Festival, the co-chairman of Miramax Films eagerly devoured a greasy omelette (the secret ingredient: cholesterol) while schmoozing with a reporter about art, movies and life in general. It's been said that a family of four could subsist for a month on the crumbs that stick to Weinstein's shirt. That family may soon need to find other means of dietary support...
