...July CPI number is a little harder to peg, given that we?re still reading conflicting accounts of whether that was inflation or deflation looming in the shadows of last week?s PPI. The Consumer Price Index, of course, is the inflation number we can spot at the mall, and with discount wars festering across the retail scape, it?s hard to imagine July prices doing anything levitationary - at least not enough to scare Greenspan into cutting out the rate cuts August...
...Luis Miguel. She had a catfight (though not, as reported, a fistfight) with Mira Sorvino on the set of her next film, Wise Girls. She looked frazzled and spent on a BET interview show. She stripped down to a sports bra on MTV's Total Request Live. At a mall appearance in Westbury, N.Y., Carey rambled about "positivity" until Berger grabbed the microphone from her; the mike went back and forth, and, Berger says, "I won." This led to an intense chat between star and flack. "She was upset," Berger explains. "I did not want her to air her frustrations...
...mass media of TV and the Internet, to understand that a good sound bite on the tube is worth much more than making his point in a sit-down meeting with a few prominent parliamentarians.

A couple hundred people are already there, drawn by $3 cocktails and reggae and hip-hop tunes. It's so crowded that manager Jeff Short has abandoned his tiki-hut office to help behind the bar. The crowd is familiar, mostly female Japanese partyers and U.S. servicemen. Many of the girls dress alike?stiletto...
...Which brings us back to New York, where GOP Gov. (and former Bush veep hopeful) George Pataki wants us all to "work together" to beat the heat - with suspiciously economy-stimulating activities. "Go to a movie, go to the mall," Pataki urged (leaving "hit the beach for free" for last). "Just don?t go home and turn on the air conditioner." If you must use an air conditioner, he said, at least buy a Brand New One from your local appliance store - the state?ll give you $75 if it?s energy-efficient...
