...places without having people ask for an autograph." At the same time, some of her repertoire seems a bit mature for an adolescent who has yet to have her first date. On the semi-risque song My Baby, she sings, "My baby is a full-time lover ... My baby is a full-grown man." In the video for Blue, she peers out over thick-rimmed sunglasses, an image that evokes Stanley Kubrick's controversial film Lolita. LeAnn says that while she hasn't experienced some of the emotions in her songs, she is capable of conveying them--"like an actor...
...time to get at Deng. He had scorned some of her extreme efforts to "reform" Chinese culture, such as turning traditional opera into perfervid propaganda spectacles.

...Away (Nan A. Talese/Doubleday; 370 pages; $25). An author as hot as Farrow doesn't go on a book tour. Barbara, Oprah and Larry date her up. She was, after all, involved in a show-biz shocker. Four and a half years ago, she discovered that Woody Allen, her lover of 12 years and the father of one of her 14 children (four natural, 10 adopted), was also the lover of her 21-year-old adopted daughter Soon-Yi. This at a time when Farrow thought her worst problem was Allen's crush on her younger daughter Dylan, then seven...
