...electronic media are somewhat more resourceful. The night before the trial, a popular local watering hole holds a look-alike contest for women who think they resemble presiding Circuit Judge Mary Lupo. A team from Geraldo Rivera's media empire turns up and obtains live footage of dozens of other journalists ordering Diet Pepsis and Campari-and-seltzers at the event. The cameraman zeroes in on the bartender as he mixes a drink and passes it to a thirsty reporter. Lights, camera, action. The cameraman works for the program Now It Can Be Told. Now it can be told that...
Culkin bobs and weaves around the celebrity circuit like a pro. He opens Michael Jackson's new Black or White video. He is allowed to stay up past his bedtime not to watch but to host Saturday Night Live. Culkin, who was paid only $250,000 for Home Alone, received $1 million for his role in My Girl.

A new book, tentatively titled Creating Love, is due in the fall of 1992. This year...
Baseball players call them "Annies." To riders on the rodeo circuit, they are "buckle bunnies." To most other athletes, they are just "the wannabes" or "the girls." You'll find them hanging out anywhere they might catch an off-duty sports hero's eye and fancy: at Los Angeles' private Forum Club, at jock-oriented watering holes like Mickey Mantle's in Manhattan or Bigsby's in Chicago, in the lobbies of hotels where teams on the road check in. To the athletes who care to indulge them, and many do, these readily available groupies offer pro sport's ultimate...
