...house. No hobbies. Her 95-year-old mother is her best friend. She has little interest in cultural events. None in entertaining. "We don't have time to have little dinner parties," she says. Or the space. The Doles still live in the four-room, first-floor bachelor pad at the charm-free Watergate complex that he first moved into after his divorce. Decorating? Mrs. Dole allows that she did it using samples from a book...
...these shows attempt to combine music-video artiness (think jumpy film-to-video cuts) with a veneer of semiupscale erotic swank (think Bob Guccione's bachelor pad). You can tell they offer a somewhat better grade of porn than the local adult video store because they don't star actors named Long or Chesty; instead they feature respectable, if not always heavily-employed, talents like Emily Lloyd and Julian Sands, who played the aforementioned George. Red Shoe Diaries is narrated by X-Files star David Duchovny, who has hosted the series since it first aired, pre-X-Files, four years...

But don't let the downscale bonhomie deceive you; the band is a corporate money machine. Cracked Rear View cost around $200,000 to make and generated more than $100 million in gross revenues...
...from peripheral characters (Kato Kaelin, Faye Resnick). There are the tell-alls from major players who have little to say and mediocre co-writers (Madam Foreman, by several jurors, belongs here, as does O.J.'s own I Want to Tell You). There are the joke books (O.J.'s Legal Pad being one of the better entries in this category). And now all the previous works can be tossed aside with the arrival, a mere five months after the verdict, of the post-trial memoirs by those true insiders, the lawyers...
