M's name is mentioned, but don't know which of her dresses will be auctioned. Wednesday, September 30, 1998 12:19 PM Oscar Dresses To Go on the Block This news may not help you put the finishing touches on your back-to-school wardrobe, but if you're looking ahead to next spring's prom, you just might want to take note. Christie's, the famed auction house that has staged bidding wars on everything from the notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci to Elton John's handwritten lyrics for "Candle in the Wind '97," will auction off a rack or two of those spectacular dresses that provide so much eye candy each year on Oscar night. The event will be held in March, a week prior to the next Academy Awards ceremony, and proceeds from the event will go to benefit the American Foundation for AIDS research. ...... Among the actresses whose clothes will be sold are such notables as Julia Roberts, Diane Keaton, and Glenn Close, and the designers represented include Giorgio Armani, Arnold Scaasi, Richard Tyler, and Valentino. Those with more daring taste may want to consider bidding on donations from Madonna and Cher, whose Oscar outfits have raised many an eyebrow and given Mr. Blackwell plenty of material for his catty fashion commentary. Daring in its own way is the outfit Sharon Stone donated, one she wore to the festivities in 1996. It consists of a Valentino skirt, an Armani coat, and a mock turtleneck Stone picked up at the Gap. Auction organizers have not yet set opening bids, and aren't sure how much money they'll raise, but if you start saving now, you just might be able to afford the elegant beaded lavender chiffon gown that helped Uma Thurman stand out in a crowd of dazzling beauties at the 1995 awards. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1998 23:36:17 -0700 From: ilmmtaitw@juno.com (David Ruiz) Subject: Re: )|(: Looking for I have been serching the UNIVERSE to find this....I don't think that it exists.....I've already given up.....Does anyone know if it exists???

Yesterday BBC Radio One had the world premiere of the new single by The Tamperer. The Tamperer are a dance outfit who have had one of the year's biggest hits here in the UK with "Feel It" - a track which was based on the Jacksons' song "Can You Feel It". Anyway. Their new track is based entirely around an instrumental sample of Madonna's "Material Girl" and although I wasn't impressed, it's bound to be a big hit. ============== On a similar note - I managed to get hold of that Stardust vs. Madonna 12" (the one which combines "Holiday" with "Music Sounds Better with You") Bloody amazing. It contains one mix about 8 minutes long and the 12" is white-label, one-sided and comes in a plain black sleeve. There's absolutely no information, numbers or anything anywhere on the disc. Dance music magazines here are still giving a lot of attention to this track and the speculation that it will eventually get an official release.

[....] Strongest buzz The most eagerly anticipated event of the night was the premiere of "Felicity," with perhaps the most consistently positive reviews and strongest buzz of this fall's freshman class. "Felicity" paid off on that promise, attracting a 4.8 rating, 8 share, equaling last Jan. 20's premiere rating of the WB hit "Dawson's Creek" (4.8/7). In adults 18-49, "Felicity's" 2.8/8 topped the "Dawson's" premiere by 8% (and 2 shares). Gains were still bigger among women 18-34 (up 24%) and 18-49 (up 18%). "Felicity" had a bit of trouble keeping up with its lead-in, the third-highest-rated "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" ever (4.7/8 in homes, 2.9/9 in adults 18-49). "Buffy" topped its year-ago premiere (on a Monday) by an otherworldly 52%. "Felicity" built by a tenth of a point on that homes lead-in but slipped by a tenth in adults 18-49.

The country star's 1990 album "No Fences" has sold 16 million, according to the RIAA. September was also a landmark month for female artists. Lauryn Hill's "The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill" (Ruffhouse/Columbia) was simultaneously certified gold, platinum, and double-platinum, while Barbra Streisand's "The Way We Were" became the pop singer's 13th multiplatinum album -- the most for any female performer. Shania Twain's current release, "Come On Over," was also certified for sales of 5 million, making Twain the first female artist in country history to top the five million mark with two albums. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Oct 1998 13:51:58 -0400 (EDT) From: bd078@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Mark E.

There was no story in the video for "Frozen" - Maddy simply stood and in case you failed to notice, floated in parts of the video.

Papparazzi law passed California Passes Paparazzi Law .c The Associated Press By LINDA DEUTSCH AP Special Correspondent LOS ANGELES (AP) -- California has passed a law that tries to put a lens cap on paparazzi and their raw, high-priced and widely circulated photos of celebrities in private moments. Next year, it will be illegal to take the now infamous pictures of Brad Pitt in the buff on a private beach or to shoot Madonna's 1985 wedding to Sean Penn from one of the army of helicopters that swirled above her Malibu mansion. Gov. Pete Wilson signed the bill into law Wednesday, saying it would give celebrities, crime victims and others grounds for lawsuits when they feel their privacy has been violated by photographers or reporters. It becomes law on Jan. 1. ``Under this bill, the so-called `stalkerazzi' will be deterred from driving their human prey to distraction -- or even death,'' Wilson said. The bill was introduced after Princess Diana was killed last year in a Paris car crash following a high-speed flight from paparazzi, or celebrity photographers. However, the paparazzi who chased Diana would not have been covered by California's law because her activities were in a public place and there was no expectation of privacy. Outrage at the paparazzi following Diana's death came from some of the biggest names in show business -- Madonna, Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Elizabeth Taylor. They called for everything from consumer boycotts of supermarket tabloids to new laws on libel and privacy. ``I think the bill does very little, but what it does is good,'' said University of Southern California law professor Erwin Chemerinsky, one of few First Amendment advocates favoring the bill. It was opposed by newspaper and broadcast groups which saw it as an infringement on the right to gather news. But Screen Actors Guild President Richard Masur insisted Thursday the bill does not target paparazzi or apply exclusively to movie and TV stars. ``It targets a particular kind of behavior,'' Masur said. ``It applies to what, in other circumstances, would be considered voyeuristic behavior.'' For instance, he said, photographing a star's private life at home when they are unaware that a long lens camera is peering at them is a clear intrusion. The new law forbids ``constructive trespass,'' the use of technologically advanced devices to watch or eavesdrop on someone in a situation where they have ``a reasonable expectation of privacy.'' The bill defines invasion of privacy as trespassing with the intent to capture audio or video images of a celebrity or crime victim engaging in a personal or family activity. It extends trespassing to electronic devices. And it allows the celebrity or crime victim to recover damages from the paparazzi and people who employ them. First Amendment lawyer Douglas Mirell said the new law is too vague and doesn't address issues of true public concern. ``This is a law that addresses a non-problem,'' Mirell said. ``This is a P.R. effort spawned by the tragedy of Princess Diana's death but addresses no legitimate issue that is not now in existing law.'' Violating the law can be costly. Violators must pay triple the amount of any actual damages plus surrender of any proceeds from the sale of material obtained through an intrusion on privacy. Masur predicts the threat of such lawsuits will be enough to prevent problems. ``Our aim is to chill the behavior of interfering with a person's privacy,'' Masur said. ``Outside of the press I've never heard a single person raise an objection to a person being left alone.'' ------------------------------ End of Madonna-Digest V7 #393 *****************************
