...Franz, presumably a distant cousin of the Leopold clan. My suspicions about the prince are heightened when he hands his consort one of those throwaway cameras and instructs her to snap a shot of him with Crowe.

He soon found out: "I spent two years day and night in that...
...Salovaara has launched others' careers, too. He produced two of Finland's hottest exports: last year's smash Sandstorm by Darude and the Euro hit Freestyler by Bomfunk MC's. He has worked with acts like Ricky Martin, A-Teens and Vanessa Mae. And he may like to try rock in the future. "I have so many different styles," says the man with the mixed-up musical resume...
