...Troll down the endless list of Emmy nominations (I haven't finished yet, but I think I may have been nominated for an Emmy) and you find some of the real treats. "Survivor" will square off against TLC's "Trading Spaces" in a "special" category for reality programming. Another reality category (Outstanding Nonfiction Program (Reality)) shows how brilliant and diverse the much-maligned genre has become: "American High," "Frontier House," "Project Greenlight," "The Osbournes," "Taxicab Confessions" and "Trauma: Life in the ER." The midseason comedy gem "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" got a writing nomination while "Six Feet Under," weirdly...
DIED. LISA (Left Eye) LOPES, 30, member of the ebullient, tough-talking, Grammy-winning R.-and-B. trio TLC; in a car crash near La Ceiba, Honduras, where she was working to support a child-development center. With hits like Waterfalls and Creep, TLC, which debuted in 1992, evolved from a gimmicky singing trio--Lopes attached condoms to her eyeglasses during concerts--to one that was acclaimed for its original sound. The group's CDs, 1994's CrazySexyCool and 1999's FanMail, which produced the No. 1 hit No Scrubs, sold 25 million copies, more than any other female...
...DIED. LISA ("LEFT EYE") LOPES, 30, fast-rapping member of Grammy-winning R. and B. trio TLC, in a car crash while on vacation; in Honduras. The group's 1994 sophomore venture CrazySexyCool went quadruple-platinum. Lopes had recently signed to produce her second solo album under the moniker NINA, short for New Identity Not Applicable and gangsta slang for a 9-mm gun. DIED. LINDA BOREMAN, 53, better known as Linda Lovelace, star of the notorious 1972 sex flick Deep Throat who later turned antiporn activist, of injuries from a car crash; in Denver, Colorado (see Eulogy). DIED...
Last December, Shannon Pitts became one of the casualties. Pitts, 31, of Portland, Ore., signed up to go on TLC's home-makeover show Trading Spaces, on which pairs of neighbors assisted by an often domineering decorator get two days and $1,000 to redo a room in each other's houses. Pitts volunteered her paneled family room, complete with mounted deer heads, envisioning it transformed into a spruced-up haven for her kids...
...exactly the kind of aesthetic head-on collision that delights fans of Trading Spaces (Saturdays, 8 p.m. E.T.; reruns throughout the week), TLC's most popular series. It's the ultimate rummage through your neighbors' medicine cabinet, or at least their overcluttered den. (No bathrooms, says executive producer Stephen Schwartz: "We can't fit the camera crew in.") An adaptation of the British Changing Rooms, it plays off the tensions between neighbors, our emotional investment in our homes and our insecurity in our own tastes to create the Survivor of home decor...
