...first feature film Drive Me Crazy she almost lives up to her guest appearance on teen guru Britney Spears new MTV hit video of the same name. This is not a stretch from her previous work, but that is not such a bad thing (remember Elizabeth Berkeley trying to shed her teenybopper image in Showgirls? Neither do I. Staying with what you know can be an extraordinary move, actually). Yet this movie, even (or dare I say especially?) in its clichd nature, pushes that cute little button that makes us all instantly comforted by the tender orderliness of a happy...
...late-night Lifetime movie. And, like any self-respecting teensploitation movie, the soundtrack is righteous--a noble dance version of Backstreet Boys "I Want it that Way" actually steals the show at several key party scenes. But--alas! never fear!--like any movie featuring a song by Britney Spears--you already know the ending. We all know the ending.

Having a popular nemesis who takes away your market share (though I'm pretty sure, contrary to what record execs think, that most Backstreet...
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...
