...singer of all time, with 140 million units sold worldwide--made it clear she wanted out of her contract. She got her wish in April, with an unlikely assist from Jennifer Lopez. In January, a snippet of music Carey had licensed for herself mysteriously appeared on Lopez's J. Lo album, also released by Sony. In the world of music divas, such double dealing can feel like a slap in the face. Carey shrewdly used the Lopez fracas to turn the heat up on Sony and speed her exit. Both sides insist that it is "not true" that the dispute...
...cares? This is more than an exercise in style; it's a 113-minute Soloflex workout--the movie-est movie of the year. It has dynamite set pieces, like a gun chase in the corridors under a banquet hall and the climactic scene where a young woman (Candy Lo) gives birth at the precise moment that she also blasts a killer to hell.

...skills was relabeling cheap French red vins de table as upmarket brands. Customs knew just what he was up to: it oversaw the whole scam and took a cut. "No one got caught," says Zheng.

Proof is apparent at the modest chain- and barbed-wire fence separating the two cities in the Mai Po marshes, west of Lo Wu. This may be the most closely controlled internal border in the world. But five policemen on mountain bikes, plus three on video surveillance, are able to handle the job of patrolling 4 km of a wire barrier they concede can be scaled in 12 seconds. The number of captured illegal...
...Just because you dress sexy doesn't mean you're a bad girl. It just means you know how to dress." Another withering tautology from JENNIFER LOPEZ, who, not content with stardom in the music and film worlds, announced last week the formation of her J. Lo by Jennifer Lopez fashion line. "It's time for the world to wear my look," said Lopez, causing grandmothers the world over to cluck at the irony that Lopez, famous for wearing next to nothing, is hawking clothes. The J. Lo line is backed by Andy Hilfiger, brother of Tommy, and designs ranging...
