...Internet-only release not.com.mercial Cher gives the lyrical smackdown to nuns that ran an orphanage where she stayed as a child while her mother waitressed at an all-night diner. The singer calls the sisters "mothers of shame," "masters of pain" and "twisters of truth," which doesn't quite rhyme, but makes the point. The Catholic League is unimpressed. "Much like the rest of Hollywood," says a spokesman, "she is trying to sell her CD on the backs of Roman Catholics." Considering the album's title and mode of sale, it doesn't sound as if she's trying...
...realms, and even the sharpest entertainers are finding the transition difficult. Before Universal's recent acquisition of The Cat in the Hat, it foundered under Steven Spielberg at DreamWorks, despite the efforts of Oscar-winning screenwriter Eric Roth (Forrest Gump), who spent nearly a year composing a screenplay in rhyme. Seussical, the $10 million musical pastiche of several Seuss stories narrated by Seuss's Cat, has also had its share of bumps on the way to Broadway. Key members of the creative team have been replaced, while lyricist Lynn Ahrens, who wrote Ragtime with her partner Stephen Flaherty, has faced...
...anyone finds a spiral notebook covered with hand-scribbled lyrics about hating lots of people, composed mostly in interior rhyme, please return it promptly to EMINEM. The rapper remembers having his notebook--chock-full of material for a soon-to-be recorded album with side group D-12--aboard a Delta flight from Cincinnati, Ohio, to New Orleans. But somewhere in transit the notebook, with perhaps yet another track featuring a clever rearrangement of the words "Slim," "Shady," "I" and "Am," was lost. Eminem is offering a cash reward or a personal meeting in exchange for the notebook's safe...

...Remarkable Farkle McBride (Simon & Schuster), written by actor JOHN LITHGOW and illustrated by C.F. Payne, is written in...rhyme! Musical prodigy Farkle masters with ease a succession of instruments, including the violin, flute and trombone, only to tire quickly of each one. "I can't stand the trombone, with its blaat and its blare!/ That racket is more than my eardrums can bear!" Farkle's solution (or, rather, Lithgow's) is just clever enough to please kids and parents alike. The exaggerated illustrations give a farcical air to the tale, which has already put in an appearance on the Times...
