...anyone should know that a lover scorned hath no fury like a rival vexed, the online romance business should. Yet lawyers for industry leader Match.com have subpoenaed nine former employees who defected to True.com an upstart competitor, to find out whether they breached confidentiality agreements by disclosing secrets about proprietary information. Match.com--which is owned by InterActiveCorp., headed by media mogul Barry Diller--has more than 12 million members and dwarfs True.com (which says it has about 350,000 users). But True.com's CEO, Herb Vest, a Dallas entrepreneur with gunslinger instincts, isn't cowering. He fired back two weeks...
...TIME, a unit of Time Warner) shows that you can--sort of. The most conspicuous cuts are, surprisingly, not in the nudity--we lose breasts but not buttocks--but in the language. When Samantha (Kim Cattrall), the randiest and thus most excised character, trysts with her fireman lover, TBS cuts a scene of them humping against a fire engine.

Moonves, a hard-charging executive, has turned CBS Television into the top-rated network. Left out was Jonathan Dolgen, 59, chairman of Viacom Entertainment Group, who resigned a day after...
...Murphy is an actress I've followed since 1984, when at 25 she played the mother in Galt MacDermot's "The Human Comedy." She was a smash as an amnesiac chanteuse in the off-Broadway "Song of Singapore," as the obsessive jilted lover in Stephen Sondheim's "Passion" and as a dark-hued Anna in the 1996 Broadway revival of "The King and I." Here she uses her kabuki face to all manner of deadpan delight, then goes into giddy spasms in the dance numbers. She's Buster Keaton in repose, Diane Keaton in motion. Her and the show...
...heavy lifting. On Cat on the Wall and The Life and Death of Mr. Badmouth, she howls simple phrases until they sound a little like sex and a little like pain. On The Slow Drug, her hush leads into the dead of night as she contemplates a sleeping lover and wonders, "Could you be my calling?" No singer since Janis Joplin has moved as easily between primal scream and intimate sigh...
