...Like, You Know... (Wednesday, 8:30 p.m. E.T., ABC) digs into the quirks of L.A.: the obsession with celebrities' cars, the predominance of Harvard grads in the TV-writing business, the fascination with live police-car chases. Chris Eigeman (the cocky guy in Whit Stillman films) underplays the New Yorker perfectly, avoiding the overly neurotic. And in what may be the bravest turn ever, Jennifer Grey plays herself, with lots of jokes about her nose job, past boyfriends and desperate desire to be recognized...
...keep the fray going. She exploded back onto the scene last week to promote her book, the saga of an insecure and overweight child of a broken Beverly Hills home whose need for love and attention led her to seduce a President.

She lounges on a bed decorated with roses (an image reinforced by Andrew Morton's book, whose very first revelation is that "this girl likes roses a lot"). The publicity encourages...

(ABC called it the most watched "news" show ever, though it didn't beat Oprah's prime-time tete-a-tete with Michael Jackson, which the network somehow doesn't count as news in a world in which Monica does.) At least in its first days, the book was making the splash its publishers paid for. It seems we do in fact want to see more of Lewinsky, even if seeing her makes us feel a little dirty. Even the world's most expensive...
