...every Starbucks, there are numerous bagel chains and brew pubs that went public, expanded too fast and fizzled. And stockholders could get indigestion next month when company insiders become free to dump 7.4 million shares that they have held since last year's ipo into a market that currently trades just 5.75 million Krispy Kreme shares. When insiders announced a previous sale in January, the stock fell 11%. But unless Krispy Kreme announces a plan to sell e-doughnuts, it stands to humble the tech stocks for the rest of the year...
...spare room on the lower east Side of New York City on a Wednesday morning, a disheveled music teacher multitasks in front of his audience of 10 toddlers and their parents. As he sings Bagel, he wiggles his hips goofily, preens, then pretends to be a bread product inhabited by the spirit of Mae West: "I'm big and round, I got a hole in the middle/And I'm lumpy and I'm bumpy and they call me pumpernickel/I'm good in the morning, I'm good at night/A little bit of butter and I taste just right/Come...
Last week a new theme park opened in Orlando, Fla., called the Holy Land Experience. The founder, Marvin Rosenthal, says he is a "Hebrew Christian." This is apparently another oxymoronic have-your-bagel-and-eat-it-too sect, like Jews for Jesus.

I will scour Filene's Basement for $5 tights to wear with my $200 boots. I am even tempted to get a $99 color inkjet printer to go with my spiffy $2,500 PC. It all boils down to priorities. I don't need a great printer, merely a decent one. Just as the tights I wear under my boots are a private affair, most of the printing...
...hype surrounding the Michael Douglas-Catherine Zeta-Jones wedding was awfully bloated, but at least they actually got married. MADONNA, however, has been publicly flirting with marriage to film director GUY RITCHIE for months. There was the bagel-size diamond ring she'd been sporting, plus rumors of a Scottish ceremony, the baby they had together--all the usual celebrity nuptial signs. On Tuesday, finally, Madonna told Britain's The Sun: "Guy has asked me to marry him, and I've said yes, but we haven't decided when yet." Wonderful; on to Gwyneth and Ben...but no. Later that...
