...showy put-downs ("She looks hip-py, not hippie!") and lack their British forebears' acuity. If there's a real candidate for the American What Not, it's Bravo's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, which makes its debut July 15 at 10 p.m. E.T. It is also shameless, but in a more original, less creepy way. In each episode, a heterosexual man is schooled in fashion, design, culture, grooming and fine dining by five gay guys. Its unspoken premise, provocative but true, is that gay men are the new black people: the oppressed minority whose subculture defines what...
...help Taiwan cope with SARS?a move that arguably kept the island's medical workers dangerously in the dark on the best methods of disease containment. "China has told the world that they are taking care of us," says Taiwan's Premier Yu Shyi-kun. "It's a shameless...
...puts it: "You wouldn't believe what abnormal times do to normal people." "I like to explore national embarrassments," says Hrebejk. "I don't condemn them, but they are hardly virtuous."

...Last Great Comedy Hope. It's about six young singles in the big city, looking for love, who've had complicated sexual histories with each other. "Coupling" is actually a remake of a British series that's become a cult sensation, though, so it's not a shameless clone of "Friends" if you let the Brits clone it first! Another reason for "Coupling"'s buzz is that the British version is a very risque sex farce - although, except for a condom joke, the scenes shown of the Yank version weren't even as envelope-pushing as many "Friends" episodes...
...arrogance, especially when he's out cultivating popular support. As he stood in Nasiriyah last week listening to farmers and teachers detailing their complaints and needs, his gaze would wander over their shoulders. To detractors, especially in the State Department and the CIA, he's an opportunist, a shameless self-promoter and an embezzler. He opened a bank in Jordan that grew into the country's second largest, then was expropriated by the Jordanian government in the late '80s amid charges of fraud. Chalabi was convicted in absentia by a Jordanian military court after friends, said to include Jordan...
