MTV rolls out red carpet
It's the one awards show you won't want to miss. From the funky fashion to the phat music, there's always something outrageous going on at the MTV Video Music Awards. This year's host is actor-comedian Jamie Foxx. The ceremony airs live Thursday at 8 p.m. 'N Sync and Missy Elliott are scheduled to perform.
A new Elle, just for teens
The new Ellegirl magazine is aimed at readers 14 to 17 years old. Like its counterpart, Elle, the teen version of the mag is heavy on beauty and fashion stories. The premiere issue is on newsstands now.
The goods on grandparents
Before Grandparents' Day rolls around this Sunday, you might want to check out the new book Dr. Ruth Talks About Grandparents (Madison Books, $15.95). Chapter titles include "When Grandparents Live Far Away," "Divorce and Grandparents" and "Grandparents and Computers."
