...know? Thanks to Web-tracking software that can trace your every click, Web-trend watchers are fully aware of your foibles. Scan research firm Media Metrix's list of sites people spend the most time on each month--known as "sticky" sites--and you'll discover that 7 of the top 10 destinations are for online games, such as sweepstakes, bingo and chess.

...stars/see how they shine for you." Now compare that with the Radiohead line "I woke up sucking a lemon." And, finally, there's Coldplay's nonthreatening, accessible public persona. "I'm reading a book right now called Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus," says Martin, without a trace of embarrassment. "I'm in my first long-term relationship, and I can't quite work it out."
