Turn the page and roll the credits

By Dan Zak and Loren Bonner · Thursday, Jan. 22, 2004

It's tough being a consumer of entertainment these days. Pay $15 for the book or $9 to see the movie? Read the book first before seeing the movie adaptation, or wait until after?

Britney on the rebound with 'Toxic' video

By Michael Vallebuona | January 15

After her disappointing video for "Me Against The Music," Britney Spears convinced critics (including this one) that the end of her Top-40 reign was nearing. Fortunately, the 55 hours Spears spent as a loyal, devoted wife in Las Vegas must have refreshed her waning creative brilliance, because the newly released video for "Toxic" is as cool, polished and intoxicating as a chilled can of Sapporo.

By Daniel Longino | January 15
