...video rentals and sales have steadily grown into a $4.2 billion-a-year business (nearly 14% of all video transactions and more than a quarter of the home-video industry's revenue), the mainstream media have started to cash in on the growing celebrity of hard-core performers. Howard Stern, Jerry Springer and the E! channel regularly feature porn stars as guests on their TV shows, while film directors like Spike Lee and John Frankenheimer use them in cameos as a hip name check. The industry's reigning star, Jenna Jameson, told TIME she's quitting the business to pursue...
...hopes Magic Johnson is enjoying a nice chilled glass of schadenfreude as he reads the reviews of HOWARD STERN's new television show. Stern, who was merciless to the basketballer while Johnson had a talk show, got slapped with the most dire content warning (TV-MA), lower national Nielsen ratings than a nonlive version of rival Saturday Night Live and a DD cup's worth of critical bile for his debut network effort.

"He's too quick. He's too unscrupulous, and he's too feisty," sniffs University of Michigan law professor Yale Kamisar, an expert on assisted suicide who has endured more than...
...when MARILYN MONROE's favorite photographer, Bert Stern, moved to a new apartment, a manila envelope of color transparencies of his last photographic session with her disappeared; he claims they were stolen. "I sat down on the bed and practically cried," he says. "It was nearly all the photos for a book I was working on." He called the police and the press and put up a reward, and he got a packet with most of them from a construction worker who said he'd found them. Now, 18 years later, the rest have shown up.
