It used to be that sitcoms like Three's Company were our go-to for hackneyed entertainment, and 6 p.m. newscasts jerked our brains back into high gear. But have the tables turned?

This week is a bit like attending fashion boot camp... bright lights interviews, platform heel marathons, and multi-tasking manicures. Plus, style asst. Loren fills us in on late-night antics...
