...thing is that I keep noticing boys who successfully got the golden glow and girls who look revolting. Hmmm...The Oscars were mediocre, save Steve Martin and Julia Roberts. The former lightened up the ceremony with crackling wit and airy one-liners ("I was wondering why there were no tigers or dragons in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. And then I realized-they're crouching...and hidden") while Julia managed to be obnoxious and wonderfully endearing at the same time.

...four days to the Oscars ceremony and CoCo Lee is having trouble sleeping. She and a group of kung-fu dancers have been rehearsing two hours a day preparing their rendition of A Love Before Time, the atmospheric theme from the acclaimed film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

...Records, veteran music exec Clive Davis' new endeavor.) Popstars' treatment of the young synergettes makes Making the Band look like a Bill Moyers special; it cheerfully depicts its women as a hungry, hardworking pop juggernaut in leather pants, portraying them with all the hard-nosed pugnaciousness of a Tiger Beat cover. Producers Scott A. Stone and David G.

...past and a quest. She's lonely on top, flirting with potential mates but searching for a mother. In this sense she is a big sullen sister to Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, the Powerpuff Girls. They too are the spawn of a biological experiment. (They also levitate, like the Tiger women.) And though the show is perky, and its pace frenetic, the Girls carry the burden of others' expectation. When things go wrong, the Townsville adults chant, "Your fault! Your fault!" There is a poignancy to the Girls' perfection...
