...outs is everyone’s favorite scantily clad diva of age, Mariah Carey. After a bizarre strip show on TRL and numerous accounts of getting silenced by her publicist, the rumored paramour of Eminem left the ramblings of a crazy on her fan site before checking into a rehab center.

Modeled after a vanguard policy in Arizona (see box), it is expected to divert some 100,000 first- and second-time drug offenders from prisons into rehab over the next three years. "California's Proposition 36 highlights the disgust many feel for our current system," says Rocky Anderson, the Democratic mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah, which has been dealing with a spate of heroin overdose deaths.
