...Western set in 1876 with the downer title Deadwood may not sound like a promising addition to HBO's spring 2004 lineup. But it has gold diggers, prostitutes, gunslingers and criminals and is being created by David Milch of NYPD Blue and Hill Street Blues. Plus, Milch deadpans, "it's in color...
...from Candace Bushnell, who wrote the columns on which the show is based. There's no connection. None. So when Carrie needed a love interest for the show's final season, someone who could make fans forget about her enigmatic ex Mr. Big, it was just by chance that HBO tapped bedroom-eyed ballet dancer and international superhunk MIKHAIL BARYSHNIKOV.

Recent waves of immigrants have also made people more comfortable with diverse funeral customs. But it's the demographic might of the baby boomers, finally coming to terms with their mortality, that has sent the $17 billion funeral and cemetery industry scrambling...
