			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>B</b>ackstage at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards, rapper Lil'<br />
Kim, wearing a purple wig and a mere fistful of<br />
lavender sequins, was talking about art and its<br />
responsibilities. She and fellow presenter Mary J. Blige had<br />
just handed over the trophy for best hip-hop video to the<br />
Beastie Boys, one of whom had made an impassioned<br />
plea for musicians to make sure that the rapes and sexual<br />
assaults at Woodstock '99 never happen at a concert again.</p><p>"I was deeply touched by that ... especially because it was a<br />
man talking about keeping women safe," Kim said. "Women have to look out<br />
for each other." Next question: Just how did you<br />
get that pasty thingy to stay stuck over your nipple? "We use an adhesive<br />
bonding ... like, for hair and stuff," she said, segueing seamlessly<br />
from the political to the personal without batting a single false eyelash.<br />
"We didn't use Krazy Glue ..."</p><p><a href="http://www.salon.com/1999/09/11/mtv_video/">Continue Reading...</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>"I</b> just want to be famous," says Jackie MacMillan.</p><p>With her pale blond hair yanked into a ponytail and a rim of purple-brownish<br />
liner around her chapped lips, Jackie does not, at the moment, look like a star.<br />
But that hasn't stopped her from hoping, or dreaming, or driving, in the rainy<br />
wee hours of the morning, from Kearny, N.J., to Times Square for<br />
MTV's second annual "Wanna Be a VJ" contest.</p><p>Understand that MacMillan, like most of the other 2,000 people in line, plus the<br />
thousands more who turned out in Chicago and Los Angeles, does not<br />
necessarily wanna be a VJ, per se. Sure, she likes music, and yes, she watches<br />
MTV and she even cops to a major crush on Nathan, from "The Real World" Seattle<br />
cast. But that's not really why she's here. Jackie wants to be famous. Seen.<br />
Admired. Adored. Paid. <i>Well-</i>paid. And she wants all the benefits that fame<br />
and money can confer: namely, the ability to visit pain upon her enemies. "I was<br />
put on this earth to be famous. I wanna be known," she says. "The people who I<br />
hate, I can shove it in their face," she says, staring off into the distance with<br />
her eyes squinched into slits. "Like my ex-boyfriends. Look what you gave up, ya<br />
dick!"</p><p><a href="http://www.salon.com/1999/04/14/wannabe/">Continue Reading...</a></p>]]></content:encoded>
