...book tour will no doubt help, and Rodriguez is a made-for-TV charmer. "My hair was spiked and blonde when I arrived, then red, then bright red, then bright blond, then black, then maroon," she says. "I just got it done in Dubai, and now it's long and red." Rodriguez is counting on a new website (www.kabulbeautyschool.com) to bring in donations, as well as on "cutathons" at a handful of Paul Mitchell salons, which will offer $5 haircuts with proceeds going to the Kabul Beauty School. It should also help that Columbia Pictures just bought movie rights...
...people who know Brown best doubt that he'll ever metamorphose into the kind of confessional charmer the public would like enough to stand a round of drinks at their local pub.

He was a rock star in a glittering, perilous age, an intellectually curious, athletic charmer who became a uxoricidal, paranoid turkey-leg chomper, pursuing a male heir through six wives. It's a wonder it took the entertainment industry so long to fully exploit him--and the other Tudors too--since the period was one of the most scandal plagued in British history. The Diana-Charles divorce...
...something to your favorite team," says Spikes, understanding, though not agreeing with, the backlash against the ads, "and then you have to look at him after every commercial break." Some fans are uncomfortable with a player who is so serious, and often sour, on the field morphing into a charmer on camera. "I find the marketing of his personality contrived," says Spencer Wilking, 27, a Concord, Mass., native and Patriots devotee still reeling from the championship-game loss. "It rubs me the wrong...
