...CoCo bottom line to date: 16 CDs, 8 million copies sold, and two MTV International awards: 1999 Best Female Artist and Best Chinese Music video in 1998 for Di Da Di, her biggest hit to date. House of fashion Chanel named Coco its first "Asian-Pacific Celebrity Ambassadress" because, as the company's regional director of image and external relations Bonnie Gokson says: "She's just perfect. And she wears our clothes very well." (The fact that her name is also a Chanel trademark doesn't hurt either.) The designation means lots of clothes, makeup and guest appearances throughout Asia...
...this is still America, and we are still free to decide. Grass roots bands thrive on listener support, and even the most hopeless MTV junkie has felt the goldrush thrill of hearing a no-name album and discovering that it is really, really good. Word of mouth is the advertising market of music that stands on its own, that refuses to be ignored. Simply put, if an album is worth owning, people will hear about it.

...This year's skits included "Chocolat Tiger, Hidden Bon-Bon" with the octogenarian "Chocolat" producer David Brown hamming it as Brown Young Fat; a revised "Chocolat" with director Roland Joffe ("The Killing Fields" and MTV's "Undressed") as an outlandish Satan (wearing toy-store $3 devil horns made out of crimson satin) seducing Marisa Tomei and Christina Applegate. James Woods showed his appreciation for the genre by dragging it up as "Erin Chocovitch," displaying what he conceded to me were the spindliest legs in the business. His beautiful young date seemed shell-shocked. One surmised that she'd perhaps seen...
...live bands playing anything from R. and B. to the alternative Icelandic rock that singer-actress Bjork made world famous. But music is hardly the only attraction. "Icelandic girls are just gorgeous," raves Mark Mascarenhas, 27, a medical student from New Jersey, sounding a little like a refugee from MTV Spring Break. "They enjoy sex and don't believe in marriage...
