...distribute the ball to the right guy at the right time,” said Bookman, who had a match-high 68 assists. “It’s a testament to the talent on this team that we have five guys with double-digit totals...
...Simon Fuller imagines her back onstage singing her heart out to a whole new audience--one he has created. At the advanced age of 31, Tiffany has been trying to create buzz (even undressing for Playboy) without much success. But would she take part in a TV talent contest for faded stars--one like American Idol, last summer's smash hit, but with the added pathos of careers in decline? The grand prize would be a recording contract and perhaps the start of a comeback. Tiffany's competitors? Oh, Fuller wants no less than Vanilli, the surviving member...
Idol not only helps Fuller discover new talent but also lets him feed all the various parts of his mini-conglomerate, including an artist-management company, a TV-production company and a music publisher.

The USA network is prepping Nashville Star (guess what kind of music). Endemol is trying to sell a U.S. version of the Soundmix Show, which looks for the best imitators of famous acts...
...while the celebrities will fight for the floral dress with flowing scarves coming off the back. Meanwhile, Emanuel Ungaro went with Belle Epoque elegance, but added a dash of pop fun with sequined lips, a la the Rolling Stones. Jean Paul Gaultier has firmly established himself as the smartest talent of his generation. His clothes inevitably exhibit the whimsy and ideas of a Dior show with the wearability of Chanel. This season the favorites were the shirts and suit jackets, which came strapped to the front of the models. Quirky? Sure. But for $10,000, is intelligent fashion too much...
