...wander out to the small smokers' den outside. There perched on a wall with a pneumatic blonde is the unmistakable figure of Rick James, dreadlocks regrown and looking rather portly. When he was last seen, in the final segment of his VH1 "Behind The Music" documentary, he was Redemption Rick. Short-haired, proudly clean and sober and trim. He looked rather the worse for wear last night. Perhaps he is on his way to becoming the first musician to have a second edition of the show dedicated...
...Outside the ballroom there are a panoply of TV crews. I wander around and see Robert Wuhl, the star of HBO's "Arli$$," being interviewed by one of the crews. Elsewhere I overhear young actressy types being urged by boyfriends and/or publicists to thrust themselves before the cameras.

I have a DSL connection, but sometimes I log on via AOL through my telephone line, a route I especially recommend during the dinner hour. You can eat along with, say, the moody jazz and classical music of The Blue of the Night, which airs from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. Dublin time on Ireland...
...Shelflessness refers to the short shelf life of movies when the moment of hyped release has passed, the process whereby a film may rapidly be drained of all the vitality and interest that made it seem so urgent when it came out. We wander the aisles, staring disconsolately at titles past their prime - video leftovers, yesterday's gardenias...
