Listening to Rainbow, Mariah Carey's seventh album, it's clear that the best reason to rock this New Year's will be to celebrate the end of the Mariah decade. Her record sales throughout the '90s have grown to rival those of Elvis and the Beatles, and to many ears the Mariah sound has grown indistinguishable from the endless cosmetics aisles and multiplexes of our postmodern world. But there's no pot of gold at the end of Rainbow. The album strips that sound down to its purest form, cleverly obfuscating Mariah's predictably smarmy lyrics with sonorous mumblings...

...Carey is a musical earth angel. Claimed by two worlds--pure pop and urban soul--she chose, a few albums ago, to integrate hip-hop into her sound.

Singer Mariah Carey laid out $660,000 for a piano, and designer Tommy Hilfiger ponied up $112,000 for jeans and cowboy boots. The sale's highest price went to an item with perhaps the least to show for itself: owners of a collectibles shop paid nearly $1.3 million for the all-but-bare...

...that a surprise? Isn't it natural to envision Matt cruising around Texas in his Chevy, Bud in one hand, bud in the other?... Riverdance comes to Boston this week. Hooray!...Will Smith keeps getting mentioned for high profile upcoming movies--a Muhammad Ali biopic, taking the place of Carey Grant in a remake of Charade, etc. Why the delusion? Will Smith is slightly charming, and a box office draw, but he still can't act... Did you know Modern Maturity has the highest circulation of any magazine in the country? And here I thought it was Teen People...Have...

...equipment. BOW attracts women from all walks of life, ages 18 to 80--or older. Since 1991, when Christine Thomas, a dean of the Natural Resources College at the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, developed BOW, some 50,000 women have gone through the program. Kim Fredritz of Carey, Ohio, has attended several BOW workshops. A country girl and a farmer's wife, she was thrilled to experience "a new appreciation for everything in the outdoors." Having excelled in shotgun classes, she then took a BOW turkey-hunting workshop so she could shoot as well as cook her family...
