CSI NEWS…
TVGuide.com is speculating that JORJA FOX. . . who plays the oddly sexy Sara on "CSI". . . will be replaced during the upcoming season by a new character. (--On the seventh season finale in May, Sara was left for dead in the desert.)

Executive producer Carol Mendolsohn told TVGuide.com that a new female character would be introduced three episodes into next season. She didn't say the new character was replacing anybody, though.

However, another producer commented in a separate interview that we would definitely see Jorja in the upcoming SEASON PREMIERE. . . which suggests that maybe she'll appear as A CORPSE.

To increase traffic, clothing retailers are trying clever promotions, like e-mail offers, music tie-ins and coupons.

Last year, American Eagle Outfitters gave a free movie ticket to customers who tried on a pair of jeans --big success. This year, they're sponsoring a contest in which customers choose their favorite jeans fit for fall. Anyone who buys a pair of jeans gets a ticket indicating which fit they chose. Customers who pick the winning fit can redeem their ticket for a free pair of jeans in the store.

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU? SOUNDS LIKE ME!
