...black artists. The Ravens had a #9 R&B hit in 1949, and Clyde McPhatter?s Drifters climbed to #2 R&B in 1954; this version, reissued the following two years, and went to #5 and #12 on the pop charts. With the freak exception of the 1997 Princess Diana remix of "Candle in the Wind," "White Christmas" has sold more records than any song in history. It was also the last Berlin song to achieve the #1 slot on its initial release...
...needy nuisance, a sweet-souled cynic, a brave coward, a bouncy optimist. In Eddie Murphy's brilliant vocal characterization, he's just the guy to lift Mike Myers' eponymous ogre out of his slough of despondency and serve as long-eared Cupid in his romance with Cameron Diaz's princess. The movie runs on his delightful spirit--and runs right past an adult's expectations for animation. We usually hope not to get too restless as we indulge the kids in their cinematic treats.

With no male sibling yet, she has set the nation to discussing the unthinkable: allowing a woman to ascend to the Chrysanthemum Throne. Surprisingly, more than 86% of Japanese think Empress Aiko sounds just fine...
...brand-new daughter of Japan's Crown Prince Naruhito and Princess Masako, right, born on Saturday, carries a lot of weight for someone who weighs 6 lbs. and change. Cultural and political observers hoped the royal pair's first child, still unnamed, would help bring the nation out of a funk born of a years-long economic bust. Japanese did celebrate in the streets, but there was a hitch. Under current rules, only a male can be Emperor, and since Naruhito's brother has two daughters, there remains no legal heir to succeed Naruhito on the Chrysanthemum Throne. (Remember, folks...
