THE LEFT LANE
Wild about Harry

Advertiser staff and news services

HARRY KIM
Big Island Mayor Harry Kim was ready for his close-up recently for two Korea-related productions. MSN Broadcasting featured Kim in a documentary on the 2003 Korean Centennial in Hawai'i and SBS-TV interviewed Kim for the popular show "Morningwide."

Also on the Big Island, Fisher Entertainment completed five more segments of "The Last Resort" reality show in its second week of filming for ABCFamily TV. The story focuses on the Kona Village, but various venues on the Kona-Kohala coast were filmed. Work on five more shows will resume in January.


Kidman tops the list

NICOLE KIDMAN
Nicole Kidman is at the top of Vogue's list of the best-dressed women of 2002, and the magazine's editor-at-large, Andre Leon Talley, predicts she'll also be the one to keep an eye on in 2003.

"Her style is innate. From the first moment I met Nicole Kidman in the late '80s, she's always had great style going," Talley says.

Meanwhile, People magazine picked Kidman's pink Chanel Oscar gown as one of the year's prettiest dresses.

During the upcoming red-carpet season, Kidman likely will share style-icon status with Renee Zellweger, who also loves fashion — and fashion loves her, Talley says.

"They'll be the barometers of style. Their choices are always correct ... watch everything these two ladies are wearing."


Cosmo needs newbies

JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT
Cosmopolitan's editor-in-chief, Kate White, says Jennifer Love Hewitt once told her that appearing on the magazine's cover was "every girl's fantasy." That dream will become reality for one aspiring model. The magazine and TV partner "Entertainment Tonight" are launching the Cosmo Cover Model Search. Only new faces are eligible for the contest. Women who are now modeling can enter if they haven't yet appeared in a major advertising campaign or on a major magazine cover.

Even those who don't want to model can participate by helping choose the winner. The April issue of Cosmopolitan will present 25 semifinalists, and from March 18 to April 1 readers can vote for their favorite on the magazine's Web site. The result of that vote narrows the search to four finalists, who will appear in the July issue. Readers can then choose from that field June 10 to July 1.

"Entertainment Tonight" will chronicle the countdown. The winner will be on a fall cover.
