...While I was impressed by the "100% herbal" part, I must admit: My breasts are every bit as big as they have to be. But the ad did have a therapeutic side effect. It helped remind me of Russ Meyer's crucial spot on the American spectrum. The filmmaker who uncaged Bosomania as a movie genre is part, and partial progenitor, of a breast-worshipping subculture (or bust-culture) that demands women carry treasure chests, whether real or artificially augmented. Bigger breasts: Men will look. Available from a plastic surgeon near you. Ladies, don't be satisfied with nature...
...first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem, maybe there's hope yet for Europe's telecom industry.

The problem is, he's having trouble accepting responsibility for that failure. Angry that his last album, Invincible, sold only 2 million copies in the U.S., Jackson is blaming his record label, Sony, for not promoting the CD with ads on his TV special, among other things. So the dethroned King of Pop rented a bus and, clutching a picture of Sony Music chairman Tommy Mottola sporting demonic horns...
...there were more surprisingly just nominations than egregious snubs - though we might as well admit that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (which is wittier than "The West Wing," more suspenseful than "Law & Order" and more inventive than the slick "CSI") could cure cancer and not get a thank-you from Emmy. (It got a few minor nods for music, makeup and hairstyling...
