...money in the world can't bring back a dead heir. But it can make you want to uncover every detail of his death. So--although Egyptian billionaire MOHAMED AL FAYED doesn't think the U.S. government killed PRINCESS DIANA and his son Dodi--on the third anniversary of their fatal Paris car crash, he sued several U.S. agencies to find out if they know who did. Al Fayed seeks to obtain alleged secret documents held by the CIA, the Justice Department and the National Security Agency.

Despite the Armani imprimatur, though, the new Shaft looks like a catalog shopper. He may have dissed the drug dealer Peoples in his Egyptian cotton as a "cheap knockoff mutha-----" but Shaft's own styling is unlikely to inspire any new look, precisely because its baldheaded, black-polo-neck-and-raincoat look has long since been a mainstay of R&B music videos...
