...shouldn’t be surprised that a blonde has brains under her flaxen tresses. Smart blonde isn’t an oxymoron, nor should there be need for a qualifier at all. I realize that the dumb blonde bimbo stereotype has been present for decades in America, but it really shouldn’t be present at a place that likes to call itself liberal, intellectual and progressive, like Harvard...
...upcoming age issue, as three generations of Presley women strut their genetic blessings. (The money ain't bad either.) LISA MARIE PRESLEY, 36, center, boasts that her daughter RILEY, 15, a model, has survived relatively unscathed the limelight that comes with being Elvis' granddaughter. "She's not a bimbo! She's not one of the Hollywood pretentious kids. She's not shallow," says Lisa Marie of Riley. "There are certain very affected Hollywood-celebrity kids that I never was raised as." And PRISCILLA, 59, is one all-right grandmama...

Take a fact-based scandal that made headlines in a distant country. Cram in enough subplots to fill three other dramas. Assemble a tony cast of actors just below star level. Then market the product as a searing indictment of...well, something pretty...
...pedigree for the baddest of Bad Boys. His father is Canto-popinjay Patrick Tse-yin, prime dude of '60s cinema, who vaulted from "himbo"?male bimbo?roles in comedies and musicals to the haunted hero of the classic Story of a Discharged Prisoner (remade as A Better Tomorrow , with Chow Yun-fat in the Tse role). Nic's mother is Deborah Li, an actress in '70s soft-core sex films (Hong Kong Emmanuelle). They sent Nic to Canada to learn English when he was seven; he then attended a prep school in Arizona. His parents divorced...
