...night before Oscar has become Miramax's annual pre-Academy Award party, which takes place at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, famously featured in "Pretty Woman." The company pioneered this showcase event a few years ago, modeling it on the famous pre-Grammy-night parties thrown by music mogul Clive Davis. A pre-event party has no shroud of loser gloom and allows for members of other tribes to visit. Kevin Spacey, for example, has no allegiance to Miramax Films, but he is a regular visitor to their parties. The reason for this intermingling is simple. One never knows when...
...Kaempfer's vision, millions of Europeans can comfortably shop at places like the Parndorf Designer Outlet, east of Vienna, just as they can in Michigan or New Jersey, for huge savings on brand names like Nike and Gap. "BAA McArthurGlen is the pioneer of pan-European outlet shopping," says Clive Minihan, director of the Credo Group, a developer of retail and new-media business in London. Pioneering has paid off. BAA McArthurGlen has grown from scratch to a sizable (revenues of $472.3 million in the fiscal year ending March 31) behemoth that must now contend with upstart rivals trying...
...finally be solved. Discovered in only 30 ft. of water some 4 1/2 miles offshore by a dive team sponsored by novelist Clive Cussler (Raise the Titanic!) in 1995, the Hunley's remains will be hoisted from their muddy grave, if all goes well, in the next few weeks and eventually displayed at the Charleston Museum. That will not only be a splendid feat of underwater salvage but may also offer Civil War buffs an answer to what happened on that fateful night 136 years...
...scanned the music magazines and surfed the web for music news this week, but it seems everyone's been caught up in industry-talk, such as Clive Davis being replaced by L.A. Reid (co-founder of LaFace Records) at Arista Records, or Metallica producing a list of more than 300,000 people who traded Metallica songs over Napster. Instead of talking, will someone please come up with a shimmery, slinky, smooth summer song? Aaliyah's "I Try" has good beats but it's hard to listen to the lyrics without gagging; Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin'" is fine...
There they were, face to face, a pair of legends. Carlos Santana, guitar god, spiritual guy and Woodstock vet, whose once great career was sagging, and Arista Records whiz Clive Davis, who signed the 52-year-old axman just when it looked as if Santana's next starring gig might be at the discount racks. It was time to draw up a blueprint for a comeback album. "So," Davis asked, "what does Carlos Santana want to do?" It didn't take Santana long to answer. "Mr. Davis," he said, "I want to reconnect the molecules with the light...
