...gray album. "I was cleaning my house at the time," says Burton. "It wasn't my deepest thought ever." Still, he spent three cloistered weeks in his bedroom translating snippets of Beatles music into hip-hop rhythm and synchronizing them with Jay-Z's vocals. Then he burned The Grey Album for a few friends. Within a month, more than 1 million copies had been downloaded from the Internet...
Suddenly Burton was famous, and not entirely happy about it. The Grey Album didn't just use unlicensed samples from two of the world's most famous artists-it was only unlicensed samples, and the Beatles' label, EMI, is vigilant about enforcing its copyrights. "You couldn't make a more illegal album," says Burton. "When it spread beyond being a little art project, of course EMI came after me." It wasn't just the cease-and-desist business that bothered him. He was also a little put out by the acclaim heaped on his Frankenstein's monster (ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY named...
...press release: "Ever wonder what life would be like if a new form of sea life began to appear in locales all over the earth?" Yes! All the time!) Inconceivable, a comic-edged drama about a fertility clinic, looks like it was conceived through an egg donation from Grey's Anatomy.

The '60s are officially over...

"As the shopkeeper fished around in his pocket for some plastic twine, a dirt-covered face scabrous with pellagra that looked about fifty years old shrunk back into the shadows of a hood made from grey sackcloth, like a medieval leper," he writes. The woman, who was in fact only 28, had crossed the border in a final effort to avoid starvation. As a prisoner, she would be sent back to North Korea, to face possible torture or even death in a labor camp. Becker bargained with...
...French partner--wine cooperative Sieur d'Arques, in the southern Languedoc area, the region that produces much of France's lower-priced vin ordinaire. Sieur would harvest the grapes and make the wine; Gallo would handle marketing and distribution. Then, after sending a crew of Gallo researchers and Grey Advertising executives to southern France, Gallo coined an evocative name--Red Bicyclette--and devised a friendly label with a fun cartoon of a Frenchman in a beret riding a red bike with a dog trailing behind him, a baguette in its mouth. Voilà: French charm with none of the intimidation factor...
