...been 15 years since Tiffany topped the charts with hits like I Think We're Alone Now, but Simon Fuller imagines her back onstage singing her heart out to a whole new audience--one he has created. At the advanced age of 31, Tiffany has been trying to create buzz (even undressing for Playboy) without much success. But would she take part in a TV talent contest for faded stars--one like American Idol, last summer's smash hit, but with the added pathos of careers in decline? The grand prize would be a recording contract and perhaps the start...
...Sweat the Small Stuff There's no room for rookie mistakes, even when no one's watching. An appearance on Meet the Press can give weeks of good buzz, as it did for Dean last summer, or have the opposite effect, as it did for Edwards last May. Fund raisers grumble that Edwards is slow with his thank-you notes, but the North Carolina Senator's Jan. 2 announcement that he was running was masterly: a tightly organized media blitz of 40 interviews, plus a news conference at the end of his driveway.

These days, he's merely using the playbook of his father, Kim Il Sung, from the previous nuclear confrontation in the early 1990s?and so far, he's proving to be barely a chip...
...room scene with Cameron Diaz. Plank had it stitched up, and seized the chance to plaster an Under Armour logo front and center. When the movie premiered in December 1999, Plank gambled his working capital to buy his first ad, a half page in ESPN magazine. That and the buzz about Foxx's eye-popping jock brought $500,000 in sales almost overnight and boosted the year's revenues to $1.35 million. Plank, who had been getting by on only occasional $250 paychecks, was so excited that he started paying himself a regular salary...
