Holiday in Your Heart, on ABC, Dec. 14 at 9 p.m., is a good deal more simplistic than A Christmas Memory, but what can you expect? One is based on a story by Truman Capote, the other on a novel co-written by a 14-year-old, country singer LeAnn Rimes, who stars in the drama as herself. This is truly a heart-toasting affair, as Rimes must choose between seeing her grandmother, who has cancer and may not survive an operation planned for the next day, or making her debut at the Grand Ole Opry. The show features Rimes...
...blend of world-wisdom and innocence that make Gilbert and Sullivan's heroes so appealing--by the time he's finished his introductory song, "A Wandering Minstrel I," Shuman has won us over. Siemens's Ko-Ko is thoroughly annoying and amusing; more effective as a comedian than a singer. He's at his best when he seems to let himself go--as, for instance, when he cuts into a gleeful dance of selfish celebration during "Here's a Howdy-Do." And Erik E.

...Australian police, however, dismissed the notion, and signs of inner pain quickly emerged. A bottle of Prozac, the antidepressant, was found in the singer's hotel room. And on his last night, his father Kelland saw a young man in some turmoil. Professionally, Hutchence had watched INXS's last album fail, and suffered the indignity of young rockers like Noel Gallagher of Oasis dismissing him as a has-been. During dinner at Flavour of India, the elder Hutchence told Michael, "Son, I'm worried about you." The singer replied that he was "fine," but barely touched his food, opting...
...funeral on Thursday, Yates chose a low-cut black dress for mourning, even as friends and relatives remained bewildered at the singer's passing. Hutchence's brother Rhett said he visited the room where his brother died. "It seemed a sad room," he said, "definitely not Michael." Perhaps, though, it was the Michael no one got to know...
