...most popular doll this season is not Superstar or Malibu Barbie. It is not Hawaiian Barbie ($7) or even Beautiful Bride Barbie ($10). Jordan's can barely keep the new Kissing Barbie ("Make her lips pucker! Hear the sound! See the lipstick mark!--$12) in stock...

But while the album is beautifully packaged and perfect as a Christmas gift and momento of this year's papal visit, the title is deceiving--the Pope hardly sings at all. In fact, he doesn't sing once on the entire second side. It's hard not to fell cheated, especially since God only knows where the profits...
