C+C Music Factory, the Cover Girls and Seduction, whose music dominated dance floors in the early '90s, arrive at the Pipeline Cafe for a show at 8 tonight. The Music Factory, featuring rapper Freedom Williams, is known for its ubiquitous "Everybody Dance Now." The Cover Girls hit the Top 10 in 1992 with "Wishing on a Star," actually a 1978 number (covered by Beyonce). Seduction's top singles were "Two to Make it Right" and "Could This Be Love."

Tickets are $45 at the door. The club opens at 6. Call 589-1999.

INSPIRATIONAL IDOL WORSHIP

Hawai'i's Jasmine Trias, who placed third in the third season of "American Idol," is among contestants who share inspirational vignettes in "Chicken Soup for the American Idol Soul." (It was bound to happen!) The book collects memories from Carrie Underwood, Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken and more.

Trias began singing because "I enjoyed the praise," she writes. But upon learning that a grandma awoke from her coma, believing she'd heard an angel, upon hearing Trias sing on "Idol," Trias knew it was also her destiny to "touch people's lives."

FINAL WORD

"I love playing characters who have big hearts and really believe in something. I've been in a lot of smaller films that weren't appropriate for my niece and nephew. I needed a movie ... to bring them to."

Amy Adams | the Cinderella in "Enchanted," in Entertainment Weekly
