 BY now, nearly everyone has
heard of the BRICS (Brazil,
Russia, India, China and South
Africa). Less known are the
CIVETS (Colombia, Indonesia,
Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey and South
Africa) and MIST (Mexico, Indonesia,
South Korea and Turkey).
These acronyms are the product of... |

 IT started with a Chanel lip gloss.
After learning that her favourite
shade, a light golden brown called
Brick, was being discontinued,
Jennifer Fisherman-Ruff bought
up the remaining 37-piece stock of the
product at Henri Bendel. That was a little
more than 15 years ago. Since then,
Fisherman-Ruff, 42, a publicist in the
borough of Manhattan, has stockpiled a
variety of products, including a discontinued
eye shadow (also Chanel) and a
custom-blended Prescriptives foundation,
seven bottles of which currently
reside in her refrigerator alongside the
butter and cheese.

Fox TV this fall |
 BRITNEY Spears and Demi
Lovato are joining the panel
of judges on The X Factor
this fall, part of Fox´s effort
to boost its underperforming
music competition shows.
The network´s executives also promised
changes for American Idol. While
Idol remains Fox´s centrepiece, as it has
been for the past decade, it has lost a
quarter of its audience this year. Fox is
adding two new comedies and a drama
in the fall, pumping new life into Glee
with guest stars Kate Hudson and
Sarah Jessica Parker and touting a
midseason drama starring Kevin Bacon
as "the new 24."
The Spears announcement overshadowed
the others. Despite weeks of

projects. So possessive
is the actress about
them that given the
chance, she won´t let anyone
else work with them.
But she was reticent on
who her favourite Khan
was.
"It doesn´t make sense to
me. It is unfair," Katrina
told reporters recently
when asked to pick her
favourite Khan.
"If you ask any of the
Khan´s to choose one of
their favourite actress´, I
will feel bad. Everyone is
different. All three of them
are icons and legends in
their own way. I am fortunate
enough to be working
with them. It´s been great
so far.
