...song “Unconditional Love,” Pac deconstructs the gangsta lifestyle and shares his optimism about the future: “This fast life soon shatters/ ’Cause after all the lights and screams nothing but my dreams matter/ Hoping for better days, maybe a peaceful night/ Baby don’t cry, ’cause everything gonna be alright.” Rappers today are still addicted to the fast life. When will they wake up? When will the violence end and the better days arrive...
Movies aren't banished straight to video because they're bad. A reasonably smart marketing exec with a splicing machine and a decent song can make a huge profit out of bad. If some guy at home could cut together that YouTube trailer where The Shining is a touching father-son comedy, then the Fox marketing division can make Date Movie look good in a 30-sec. TV spot. That's why studio marketers are better at hoodwinking the customer than those two guys Huck and Jim picked up on the river. The biggest sin a director can commit...
...downing cocktails and nibbling on dim sum in minutes. Our test troupe of warblers featured dead ringers for Alanis Morissette alongside nervous off-key newbies who quickly lost their inhibitions and refused to give up the microphone.

...rabid cheerleader whose shtick is that moxie and a good attitude will get you as far as you want. Before she comes out from the gated elevator door of her talk-show set, the audience has been pumped up by clips of her set to the insanely upbeat song Life Is a Highway, the same tune Arnold Schwarzenegger has played before speeches. Ray--who often smiles so wide, you see not only her gums but also that weird part above the gums--says that when she's feeling stressed or sorry for herself, she just remembers the 10-fingers...
...some not-so-nice stuff on Paris. Hilton's genius, if you care to call it that, is that she has commodified every ounce of herself, and it takes a mere 6 sec. on Paris before she coos her signature catchphrase, "That's hot." She also includes a nasty song about Nicole Richie and a trashy cover of Do Ya Think I'm Sexy that makes Rod Stewart's original seem like Nessun Dorma...
