...have to wonder how the negotiations might have gone if this year's second wave of reality shows had crapped out as badly as "Who Wants to be a Millionaire"'s imitators did the year before. If "Temptation Island" had folded like a cheap sarong, if "The Mole" were not burrowing back for a second season, the writers may have come to the table a good bit cockier and, perhaps, less motivated to settle. But the shows thrived, with more coming up in fall, which you can bet put the fear of God and Jeff Probst into writers...

Finally we witness the junkie's glorious rebirth. He now has short hair and wears a crisp green longyi, or Burmese sarong, and a white waistcoat...
DIED. MAUREEN O'SULLIVAN, 87, demure silver-screen actress who originated Tarzan's sarong-clad jungle-gal Jane; in Scottsdale, Ariz. The convent-educated colleen scandalized '30s audiences with her tree-house trysts. Though she appeared in some 60 films (Pride and Prejudice among them), to her dismay, O'Sullivan remained best known as homemaker for Johnny Weissmuller and his simian sidekicks--and for mothering a real-life brood of seven that included actress Mia Farrow...
