...when Thailand sent a blue-eyed woman to the Miss World competition. Sirinya Winsiri, also known as Cynthia Carmen Burbridge, beat out another half-Thai, half-American for the coveted Miss Thailand spot. "Luk kreung have made it very difficult for normal Thais to compete," gripes a Bangkok music mogul. "We should put more emphasis on developing real Thai talent." The Eurasians consider this unfair. "I was born in Bangkok," says Young. "I speak fluent Thai and I sing in Thai. When I meet Westerners, they say I'm more Thai than American." Channel V's Asha Gill senses...
...night before Oscar has become Miramax's annual pre-Academy Award party, which takes place at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, famously featured in "Pretty Woman."

...first time I got to spend some time with Combs was about four years ago, before he really was a multimedia hip-hop mogul, when I went into the studio to interview him as he was completing his first solo rap record, "No Way Out." A lot has happened to him since then. "No Way Out" went on to become one of the biggest-selling hip-hop records ever, spawning the hit singles "I'll Be Missing You" and "It's All About the Benjamins"; Puffy went on to build a business empire, complete with a clothing line; he started...
