What to Watch, What to Carry, What to Do

Thinking XXX: Subjects Include Adult Film Stars Jenna Jameson, Jesse Jane, Sean Michaels, Tera Patrick And Chad Hunt, And Cultural Observers Gore Vidal, John Waters, Faye Wattleton And Nancy Friday, Pornography has become a part of the American cultural mainstream. While X-rated actors once lived in the show-biz shadows, today's top porn stars have become celebrities in their own right, their work and lives followed by an ever-increasing fan base. Portrait photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders presents a behind-the-scenes look at the making of his new book of adult film star portraits, combining candid insights from a diverse collection of porn stars with reflections on sexuality from cultural observers, authors and artists when “Thinking XXX” debuts Thursday, October 28, 2004 at 11 p.m. on HBO. The film is produced and directed by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders; editor, Lukas Hauser; principal camera, Steven Seymour.

Hot Handbag: Sure, the UGG handbag will be hot this winter, but Neiman Marcus is also predicting the pretty velour Juicy Couture bags will be hot, too. The oft-replicated (but never duplicated) Marc Jacobs handbag is getting a tiny makeover, too and you can find them at Neiman Marcus. The buttery soft leather is amazing.

The twist of the episode is presented when, without warning, four limousines snake up the driveway of the Mansion ready to take the contestants on missions in pairs. One pair is sent to a luxurious day of pampering at a spa, another pair is sent to a local dump where they have to dig through rubble, and the remaining two pairs are taken for a ride around the block only to return to the Mansion to continue working on the challenge. The foreman must decide who goes in each limousine knowing its final destination.
