Inside Edge's spring break issue is out. While FM tried desperately to resist the urge to comment on this monstrosity, it predictably couldn't resist.

I know what everyone in Bosnia is wearing." She frets that she has Oldtimer's disease, or at least Part-timer's ("Did I sing the ballad yet? Was it wonderful?"). She also purports to worry about sullying her "newfound stature." When her backup trio, "the politically correct Harlettes," starts a striptease in the home of the world-famed Christmas show, Bette goes frantic: "Girls, this is Radio City! They have...
