Like many young jazz singers nowadays, Dobson, 26, is trying for a mellow pop-jazz groove à la Norah Jones. Her plangent, almost vibrato-free voice rides over a mélange of island rhythms, bossa nova and folky acoustics, mostly in new songs she has co-written. They go down as easily as frozen margaritas, never more beguilingly than when she slips in scat syllables like "dit-doo, die-yah-da-doo" in Four Leaf Clover, or simply "ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh" in Cold to Colder...
Here's a test of celebrity status: Do people show up to watch you sweep a street?

At first, George balked, but he seemed to get into it during his five days behind the broom and even floated the idea of a benefit for the city's street cleaners.

I didn?t set out to do this intentionally - it just happened and I just feel very fortunate that...
...life of Rimbaud. DIED. Mike Douglas, 81, ever-polite, even-keeled-and hugely successful-early TV talk-show host, whose 90-minute Mike Douglas Show aired from 1961 to 1982; in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. As a big-band singer, the World War II veteran made the pop charts with the soapy 1966 hit, The Men in My Little Girl's Life. Over two decades he hosted guests from a string of sitting and former U.S. Presidents to a preschooler named Tiger Woods (whose golf skills prompted fellow guest Bob Hope to say, "Whatever drugs that...
