...writer and director, the 31-year-old Australian wanted to "contemporize" romantic comedy for the '90s. According to Rosenberg, American romantic comedies tend to be subdued with too much talking. In Hotel de Love, he "wanted to take it a little bit further" for a more contemporary audience...
...used to be that people had to be famous for a reasonably long time before anyone would want to read a book by them. But in the go-go '90s, the period between appearing on TV and getting a fat book deal is evanescing. Last week DREW CAREY signed a contract with Hyperion publishers allegedly worth seven figures. (It's probably just coincidence that Disney owns both Hyperion and ABC, which airs Carey's 1 1/2-year-old sitcom.) JENNY MCCARTHY had been on MTV for just two years when her book was announced. JON STEWART's talk show was canceled...
...never feel comfortable at the Crimson until there are more minorities at the Crimson, which will not happen until they feel comfortable at the Crimson...It is up to the Crimson's new editors to spearhead the effort to untie this knot and move the Crimson into the diverse 90s.

Listen to the surging Say You'll Be There: the groove is penetrating, but the whole thing sounds suspiciously like an Earth, Wind and Fire song that's just on the tip of one's tongue...
...powers are so easily manipulated. I fear that Elmo heroism could hide the real priorities we should envision as we approach the 21st century--the concerns and values that tire us out, that cause us to sleep uncomfortably in our beds. It seems the hard issues of the early 90s have made the national consciousness tired: AIDS, the environment, global nuclear disarmament. We can't be Elmo and approach these issues ready to learn for a bit and then rely on others to shape our ideas; we need not to see a complex world as much as a world that...
