...wasn't broke or on heroin, so I wondered what they'd focus on." The show detailed his divorce from actress Lisa Bonet and the death of his mother. Still, Kravitz, like most BTM subjects, was pleased. Says Rosenthal: "Everyone benefits." Especially VH1. A half-hour BTM spin-off for newer bands, The Road to Fame, will air this fall...
...gender is interesting, but it is not the story here," Fiorina, 44, insisted. She prefers instead that the focus be on her considerable achievements as an executive with AT&T and its Lucent Technologies spin-off.

The picture got ballistic buzz this year at Sundance. A spin-off series is planned for British TV. And Ritchie, 30, is a bicontinental rising star. It's not just the deal he has with Sony for his next film. It's that he's been, well, squiring Madonna. The writer-director is typically a chatty bloke, but he goes...
