...first track, which is the title track, sounds like Art of Noise meets the laughter from Josh Wink's house record "Don't Laugh," meets, well, Duran Duran. It is a slow and "trippy" number, with LeBon's muted voice welcoming the listener to Medazzaland, whatever Medazzaland is.

But the star is nowhere to be seen. Kirstie Alley is in her trailer, squealing with laughter and slurping away on a juice concoction of white grapes and lemons. She is on Day 3 of a 40-day juice-and-fruit fast and proselytizing the cleansing merits of her diet. "Taste it!" says Alley, popping up from the sofa to pour a portion. "Isn't it great...
