tv075b.jpgCSI Is World's Most Popular TV Show (NYP)
CSI is officially the most popular TV show on the planet. According to a new study, nearly 84 million viewers around the globe watched the CBS crime drama in 2007. It beat out its sequel, CSI: Miami and House, according to the ratings firm Eurodata, which ranks shows by their worldwide ratings.

Condé Stiffing Florio's Widow? (P6)
Steve Florio would spin in his grave if he heard how Condé Nast is allegedly treating his grieving widow. Sources say the media giant is fighting with Mariann Florio over several company payouts she's owed following her hubby's untimely death. "I'm hearing severance, insurance policies, benefits packages. It could get nasty," one source said.

Within a year, Glam says it will have ad operations up and running in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, India, and China.

But after it was pointed out, the store reversed its stance and with this week's list, it's been made official: When You Are Engulfed in Flames is number one in non-fiction.
