Vincent Delerm cuts an unlikely figure for a pop star, especially a French one. There's no trace of Johnny Hallyday's leathery ostentation, no hint of the designer brooding of a Jean Michel Jarre. With his self-cut thatch of prematurely graying hair, the 28-year-old Delerm prefers casual clothes and tennis shoes, and professes to have neither a computer nor an e-mail address.

...Christian-music star Amy Grant, just in case you forgot that George W. Bush won the election. The big reality announcement, though, was for the Martha Stewart edition of The Apprentice -no clips, but Martha showed up to give a stilted speech, in a beige pantsuit that showed no hint of an ankle bracelet.
