Kids now look at TRL/106 and Park to find out what's hot. But I do enjoy the reruns as well (if I can only stay up until 2 am to watch them).

Shemar was a terrible host and that's before he got his teeth fixed, too.

I remember when another soap star hosted. He was soooo corny. I remember one episode when he was dancing with this woman and busted out with the "running man." This was after the "running man" was no longer cool. She just stopped and looked at his feet in astonishment. I burst out laughing.

thank you

/\/\ Try Barnes and Nobles. I know I've sean European editions of fashion magazines there. Steven Miesel is an amazing photographer (as you can see by that photo of Naomi) so I'm hoping to find the Italian edition of Vogue too.
