...BAND IS IN THE HOUSE, THE BIG HOUSE In the genre of reality programming, sex has been pretty much exhausted, so vh1 seems to be going for violence. A new series, Music Behind Bars, showcases the talents of would-be rock stars who have formed bands while doing time; the rocker-inmates include murderers, rapists, armed robbers and other unappealing types. vh1says the idea was to demonstrate the rehabilitative power of music, but after a Pennsylvania woman saw her daughter's killer in a promotional ad for the show, she called Pennsylvania Governor Mark Schweiker. He promised that...

But unlike many other AOL millionaires who spend more time with their toys than at the office, Pittman is committed to the company (although...
Minogue, 33, had a previous moment in the U.S. back in 1988, when she reached the Top 10 with a synth-pop cover of Little Eva's The Loco-Motion. It is a singularly unmemorable cover, the kind that gets resurrected a decade later with a visit from VH1's Where Are They Now? camera crew. But Minogue never actually went away. She continued recording in Europe, and 14 years later America has spun back around to discover Kylie just where she was. Her new single, Can't Get You Out of My Head, has a chorus that goes...
