...that guy who licked Spears' face does look a tad peaked.) "More mature and more sensual" is how Jive Records president Barry Weiss describes Spears' new sound. Her act has indeed come a long way since the days when her best move was skipping around in a skimpy schoolgirl outfit. Her music has evolved (thanks, in part, to techno and hip-hop infusions from Moby, RedZone, Ying Yang Twins and R. Kelly, who collaborated with Spears on some of the songs), and her lyrics are clearly crafted for older ears ("Would you undo my zipper, please"). "I think...
...audience tonight at Graham Norton doesn't look all that gay - although some folks sure do seem happy, having apparently popped into a pub for a pint or two before attending. Still, everybody behaves impeccably, Spears included. She laughs gamely at the male dancers in schoolgirl skirts spoofing her old ... Baby One More Time video and barely blushes when Norton shows her a website of a Spears look-alike who turns out to be a man. On the whole, the appearance goes very well.

...Hepburn and two friends entered a loge box in the London theater where Harold Pinter's Old Times was playing. Hepburn soon went prone on the floor of the box to get a closer view of the play--her chin in her cupped hands, her eyes rapt as a schoolgirl's on Christmas morning.

"It's too goddam bad that you're rotting away." The brilliant schoolgirl, intoxicated by life's promise and challenge, had become a sere biddy. The famous voice, now as cutting and quivery as sheet metal, might have sounded scolding to a grandchild. But Hepburn had no grandchildren, no children, no Spence. She was alone...
...street corner with two young men facing a group of three young women on bikes, all five dressed in school-uniform blue suits with white shirts and red ties. Photographer Weng Peijun takes a hard look at modern urban China in his On the Wall series, in which a schoolgirl sits astride walls facing the cold skyscrapers of Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities. Comment on the brash new consumerist society sprouts up in Beijing artist Song Dong's Edible Bonsais, miniature landscapes of ham hock mountains, prosciutto hills and broccoli-flower trees. "What About China?" doesn't pretend...
