Counterculture guru Ira Einhorn came a step closer to the dock Thursday after a French court agreed to send him to the U.S. to stand in a new trial for the murder of his girlfriend, Holly Maddux. It's a small step -- Einhorn's lawyer is already readying an appeal, a process that could take up to two years and go all the way to the French equivalent of the Supreme Court.

But the unflappable Courtney Shayne (Rose McGowan) makes Fern a deal she can't refuse: instant popularity in return for her silence. Thus Courtney creates the vivacious "Vylette" as Fern's alter-ego, and her homely self is cast aside...
