While others continue to pray for peace in East Timor or for Britney Spears to turn 18, my prayers were answered last week when Andre Agassi shaved his chest. As if that weren't news enough, I also found out that Green Bay Packers quarterback Bret Favre shaved his legs for the upcoming season. These are real men, men who have been knocked unconscious by 300-ft. linebackers and married women who starred in sitcoms that they had to pretend were funny. I did some research and found a survey by Coherent Medical Group that shows that 54% of women...

Sony Classical, which is devoting a steadily increasing share of its energies to such lowbrow crossover projects as Michael Bolton's My Secret Passion: The Arias and the Titanic sound track, is promoting...

...like other days, 40% of those teenagers--a number that has doubled in the past two years alone--logged on to the Internet. The vast majority did not encounter recipes for pipe bombs or deranged rants about white supremacy. Most were getting sports scores, downloading the most recent Britney Spears cut, chatting with friends.

...former Mouseketeer, Britney Spears, can land a No. 1 CD, the time is probably just about right for Martin, a former member of the Latin teen group Menudo, to burst onto the national stage. At 27, he is already a major star in Latin America. He first caught the eye of English-speaking U.S. audiences with his joyous, hip-swiveling, eye-catchingly over-the-top performance at the Grammy Awards last February. Now, on May 11, the Latin pop star is set to release his first English-language album, Ricky Martin (C2Records/Columbia). And he is raring to hit mainstream stardom...
