Katie Holmes flashes her luminous, kitten-on-a-pillow smile and says, "It's a wonderful thing to be 19 and in show business right now." Ain't it, though? Last year she and her mom made a video screen test in the rec room of their Toledo, Ohio, home and sent it to Kevin Williamson, the Scream screenwriter, who needed an ingenue for his new TV series, Dawson's Creek. "I thought it would be just a sweet attempt," he says, "but Katie was amazing. At first she couldn't come meet us because she was in a high...
...lounge. In this regard, Jeffery Smith, an American expatriate living in Paris, has set himself a real challenge on his first American CD. He has sequenced the songs Lush Life ("I used to visit all the very gay places"), Misty ("Look at me/ I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree") and Love for Sale ("Love for sale/ Advertising young love for sale") back to back to back--all that's missing is "Isn't it rich?/ Are we a pair?"

...only artist who came close to capturing the true essence of Stevie Nicks was Jewel. The sex kitten of the folk cum pop music scene is used to conveying vulnerability. But as Jewel sings "You Make Loving Fun" she seems to have grown up a little. She sounds less tawdry than usual.

Following it is "Barbarella," a plea to the space-faring sex kitten to save Weiland from his malaise. Weiland's despairing vocals are backed by a chord progression lifted straight from Hunky Dory, and more chock-full of sound effects than anything off the White Album. There's enough ideas in it for four songs, and at times the song's schizophrenia--orchestral flourishes...
...birthday cake, a 70-year-old babushka dressed scantily in tight green leather and swinging a green leather purse danced in the center of the bar. She was not part of the planned birthday festivities, however: a Russian film-maker was shooting a scene in which the Methuselan sex kitten was the main attraction. The people at the bar loved it and the babushka started to get into it. "The guy shooting the film warned the bartenders not to give her too much to drink," Melissa said, "because she would want to take her clothes off, too." (Apparently, this...
