...Rebekah, 25, professes her love for such varied musical artists as James Taylor, Garbage, and Earth, Wind & Fire. At a recent performance at the Mercury Lounge, a music club in New York City's East Village, her diverse musical tastes were on full display. She charged through a pop-rock composition she co-wrote titled Sin So Well, and she romped through an R.-and-B.-flavored cover of the Rolling Stones' Get Off of My Cloud. Afterward, she quieted the crowd and sang another original, the introspective ballad Little Black Girl. "It's a minor miracle just to make...
Black women--from Tina Turner to Tracy Chapman--helped create rock 'n' roll as it is today. Indeed, Aretha Franklin was the first female inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Even so, black female rockers aren't a common sight on MTV, and they weren't a common sight at last summer's Lilith Fair. However, several new artists are hoping to change all that.

And that, according to TIME White House correspondent Jay Branegan is what got Rutherford all riled up. "They want truth in advertising," says Branegan. Especially when Jones' legal costs are spiralling up towards $800,000, and Rutherford itself has only raised...
...LITTLE ROCK: Monica Lewinsky. Kathleen Willey. Gennifer Flowers. Dolly Kyle Browning. Former Miss America Elizabeth Ward. All these women -- along with anonymous "Jane Does" -- appear in the 700-page filing made by Paula Jones' lawyers Friday, part of a bid to explain why her case should go to trial. Clearly, it's not short on naming names. But is it short on evidence? "They have recycled a bunch of old rumors," said Bob Bennett, avuncular attorney for President Clinton. "These are a pack of lies...
