...Jeff, TV neophytes who will help produce her cable cooking show; Drew, one of the few writers she hasn't fired; and boyfriend Johnny, a children's songwriter she met over the Internet (he emailed her the lyrics to a song called Down at the Doughnut Farm, he says, and "it sorta took off from there"). During the show they all meet in an office decorated with her old TV Guide covers, and she gives them the assignment: figure out a way, any way, to get her back on TV.

Krispy Kreme must avoid the mentality of "We like it in America, so you ought to like it too," says John Stanton, a food-industry expert at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. "If it tries to force the American doughnut down the throats of Europeans, it will fail." Stanton argues that Krispy Kreme should market its treats not merely as a fast food, but also as "getting a little bit of Americana." And while the local press in the U.S. eat up Krispy Kreme store-opening stories, European media...
