Forget the reality whiplash of Sept. 11; it was always frivolous to care about the artistic development of Britney Spears. Her promoters may call this album an evolution, but, like all things Britney, it's no more than a successful diversion that just happens to have titillating words and groans. I'm a Slave 4 U and I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman are rebellious (but not really, silly!); Boys offers the wisdom, "Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em," while Let Me Be and the Max Martin-produced Bombastic Love are irresistible...
Euro-glamorous model-actress-producer ELIZABETH HURLEY, below, at 36 can still give a blind man whiplash. But stepping aside for younger model CAROLYN MURPHY, 28, as the star for cosmetics giant Estee Lauder must have been a bit unsettling, no? "I couldn't be happier, and remain besotted with, and grateful to, Leonard and Evelyn Lauder, my surrogate American parents!" Hurley gushed. She'll remain a spokeswoman for Lauder fragrances and will try to take more time for acting. (She's got four films in the can, so one wonders how much more time she'll need...
...took up Ashtanga (power yoga) a couple of years ago to try to repair the effects of 30 years of stupid guy tricks [HEALTH, April 23].

...loved Dylan in his first festering bloom are nearing forced-retirement age, so his win had the attic odor of a Life Achievement Award for still being alive. In his via-satellite performance of "Things Have Changed," Dylan, who turns 60 in May, looked like a desiccated Snideley Whiplash, slim mustache and all. But it was worth it to hear the geezer hipster enunciate that grand cliché, "I want to thank the members of the Academy," and then congratulate them of "for being so bold" in giving an Oscar to a song whose lyrics most of them could...
...hell out of the race car if you've got feathers on your legs or butt," he said a year ago, addressing the chicken-hearted. He had opinions about proposed safety measures too. He wasn't wearing the new Head and Neck Support (HANS) system, which fights whiplash in a crash. But Earnhardt was in favor of so-called soft walls. Countering track officials who said the cushioned barriers would take longer to clean up after a wreck, Earnhardt said earlier this year, "I'd rather they spend 20 minutes cleaning up that mess than cleaning me off the wall...
