...steady, two members of the Backstreet Boys announced last week that they had become engaged. Neither BRIAN LITTRELL, 25, at left, nor his cousin KEVIN RICHARDSON, 28, middle, named their fiances, though Littrell will reportedly marry a struggling actress while Richardson's betrothed is said to be a backup dancer for Cher. Fans immediately flooded Internet chat rooms to register shock, disappointment and, in some cases, begrudging goodwill. "I don't necessarily LOVE the idea of bri and big bro kevi kev getting married, but if that's what makes them happy, I'm cool with it," wrote one brave...
...occasionally tries to act. The most popular song on the album thus far, and the song most likely to show up in a WB show near you, is Madonna's quite gracious rendition of Don McLean's "American Pie." Everett, in typical gay-best-friend fashion, supports Madonna on backup vocals, a quite painful realization but no detriment to the song. Echoes of Madonna's most recent techno mantra style is quite clear, and William Orbit's synthesizer gets more than its fair share of song time, behind Madonna's vocals.

Guard Jesse Wood hit 4-of-9 from downtown for 21 total points, while backup Patrick Nee went 3-of-6 from behind the arc. Brown pulled to 62-58 with three minutes remaining before Harvard hit a few key free throws to finish them...
...mikes in their cuffs, Secret Service-style. By the time we had landed, several not very military-looking young men - one dressed like a student, one in a cheap jacket and tie - were also strapping on large side arms and testing their mikes. Presumably some sort of covert backup. The soldiers behind them were standing, guns at the ready, in full Spetsnaz battle dress, as if they were somehow expecting us to be attacked on the tarmac of the largest Russian base in the North Caucasus. Koshman clearly takes no chances. We landed between a line of helicopter gunships...
