With the popularity of baseball cards in decline, FM has decided to change the game a little and debut a set of Beirut All-Star Trading Cards. Gone are the batting averages and runs batted in, the silly pictures of overweight men in tight tight pants, and the Barbie doll pink bubble gum. Beirut is a much simpler game. Each game requires two stoic players battling for no real reason except the need to get tipsy, a tiny white ball, a long crusty table and the will...
After the Sept. 11 attacks, MICHAEL JACKSON announced he was cobbling together an all-star ensemble to record his new song What More Can I Give?

There has been some direct entertainment response to the tragedy. Michael Jackson and producer Nile Rodgers organized separate all-star tribute recordings to benefit the victims. Playwrights and actors in New York plan an evening of short plays written for the occasion to raise money. Comic-book artists, including Will Eisner, collaborated on a volume of stories about the attacks. And Friday night, every broadcast network and numerous cable channels aired the two-hour telethon America: A Tribute to Heroes. Surprisingly restrained, held on spare, candlelit stages, it featured elegiac performances from musicians including Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Sheryl Crow...
