Marli Brianna Hughes wants to be like Mikey. Remember the freckle-faced kid who decides oats aren't so bad after all? Well, Mikey grew up, and Life cereal boxes needed a new mug. Out of 35,000 entrants, Marli, 4, will be coming to a supermarket near you. She likes Life but cautions, "It gets boring to eat the same thing every...
...filing a motion to quash the subpoena. But that hardly cooled the frenzy. Two "friends" of Willey's told reporters that something happened--they don't agree about what--one day when Willey visited the President at the Oval Office. And one of those sources peddled to a supermarket tabloid a stock photo of Willey with the President at a reception. Even Clinton was accused of being "evasive" when he declined comment at a press conference. We are at the point where we believe a woman who says the President made a crude sexual advance, but we don't believe...
...call their movies lousy, you can say they gave their daughters weird names, but don't say anything disparaging about their marriage. DEMI MOORE and BRUCE WILLIS have sued the supermarket tabloid the Star for suggesting that their union was over and that Moore had spent a wild night with Johnny Depp. (The National Enquirer said she was with Leonardo DiCaprio, which for some reason didn't offend the couple enough to sue.) Moore and Willis have also taken action against an Australian magazine called New Idea, which said Demi's obsession with fitness and an eating disorder were rupturing...
...much for the plot, which is never the strength of a spoof. "MiB" is a patchwork of moments--here, definitely, the parts are greater than the whole. The movie's at its best when poking fun at the tabloid culture that thrives on alleged alien sightings. Supermarket tabloids are the real news sources for the MiB (quips Jones: "you can read the New York Times if you like, they sometimes get it right"). The story of a farm wife, Beatrice (appropriately illustrated with an adapted copy of "American Gothic"), who claims that an alien's wearning her husband Edgar...
...within the industry. Miller Lite's new TV spots viciously attack advertising standbys--machismo, sex, telemarketing--with spots "approved" by "Dick," a faux "creative superstar." Sample: an older couple necking on a couch. The campaign, designed to reach the crucial twentysomething age bracket, has helped lift the brand's supermarket sales 12% since January. Says Scott Donaton, executive editor of Advertising Age: "Fallon likes to take the status quo and just shake the hell out of it." But being risky doesn't necessarily mean being effective. Fallon's work for McDonald's Arch Deluxe featured kids frowning at the prospect...
