...just discovered that clips from the ultimate bad-TV guilty-pleasure show, “MTV Undressed,” are available on the Net. I’ll redeem myself by saying that “Undressed” actually features decent indie music, increasingly a rarity for an MTV show. Where else on that now dumbed-down channel would you get to hear the New Duncan Imperials or Shivaree? Of course, they also play Ricky Martin and other unfortunate musical mistakes. So really I have no excuse...

No doubt that during their time, Run DMC was something: first rap group to win a Grammy, first rap group to go gold, platinum, multi-platinum, first rap group to have their videos played on MTV, first rap group on SNL…the list goes on.

The tacky old sheeting product has also been refashioned into modern "linoleum rugs." They were born in L.A. a few years back, when abstract painter Christopher Stearns decided to cover up his apartment's ugly kitchen with portable...

...came to be here: doing a sound check for a Manhattan party for teen magazine YM. Underwood and his crew found fame through ABC's reality series Making the Band, which showed boy-band architect Lou Pearlman holding auditions and casting O-Town from scratch. The team behind MTV's The Real World captured the group's production, primping, packaging--and, of course, fights with girlfriends. A year, several MTV Total Request Live appearances and a platinum album later, the boys are belting out Liquid Dreams (an almost parodic number about autoerotic fantasies starring celebrities), putting touching sincerity into lines...
