...artifice to a philosophy. "You are more authentic," this dear creature says, "the more you resemble what you dreamed you are." Manuela helps all these women resemble their dreams on their way to transcendence, accommodation or early death. By the end, Manuela--whose son is gone and whose dreadful ex-husband poisons all he touches--has knitted her de facto sorority into a family...
David Pecker, the former chief of Hachette Filipacchi (Elle, George) who became president and CEO of American Media in May, vows that the Globe acquisition will actually lead to a greater diversity among the big three tabloids. After he and his partners, including ex-Deputy Treasury Secretary Roger Altman, bought American Media for $850 million, Pecker cast a cold eye on his new possessions, which had been losing circulation for five years.

Maybe he always stays out late. Nevertheless, this lead singer of Jimmie's Chicken Shack--the self-proclaimed "Music of ADD"--has a successful new album, a broadening fan base, a great attitude and a Joey McIntyre...
...stupid heart. Actually, that's really funny because we played a show recently with LFO and Joey MacIntire. I played the show with a Joey MacIntire shirt on the whole time. I think we are the only band fucked up enough to do a show with LFO and an ex...
