PROGRESS, Charlottesville, Monday, May 17, 2004 B3 Behind The Scenes HOMECOMING CELE. BRATION FOR MO: Pink was the color of choice even for the mayor at a homecoming celebration for "American Idol" finalist Diana DeGarmo. Mayor Jerry Oberholtzer said he had to do some quick shopping to find a suitable pink tie for the celebration Thursday, one day after DeGarmo became one of three finalists on the hit Fox show. DeGarmo Finalists are determined by call-in voting. Hundreds of fans and friends, many wearing pink T- shirts that proclaim DeGarmo as "Snellville's American Idol," packed the social hall at Snellville United Methodist Church to welcome their hometown hero.
The 16-year-old singer was presented a key to her hometown and named "mayor for the day." BOUNTY ON OSMOND PHOTO: Rumors of a $30,000 bounty for a photograph of Olive Osmond in her coffin have prompted the Utah entertainment family to increase security at Saturday's funeral for the family matriarch. Fans contacted the Osmond Brothers, performing in Branson, to alert them that a Web site had posted a rumor offering money for "a photograph of Mrs. Osmond with the children around the coffin mourning, but they want her in the coffin," said Osmond family spokesman Ron Clark. If the rumors are true, "it would Osmond be so belittling to a woman who has lived a gracious life," he said. Clark hadn't substantiated the rumor, but has added extra security for the funeral, planned at Provo's Oak Hills Stake Center, a meeting house for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Osmond, mother of Donny and Marie Osmond and other members of the performing family, died Sunday of complications from a stroke she suffered more than two years ago. She was 79. SUPERMODEL BIRTHDAY PARTY: Supermodel Naomi Campbell is having an intimate gathering about 800 friends and Cirque du Soleil in St. Tropez next week to celebrate her 34th birthday. The three-day party at a trendy St.
Tropez resort will culminate next Thursday with a "red and white" gala. All guests must wear red or white. Campbell's gown is being designed by Alexander McQueen. "He's a friend of mine, and I just love his work," Campbell told The Associated Press. She was flippant about the lavish party, saying it was organized by family and friends and she's just planning on showing up and having fun.
"I'm 34 years old and proud of it," she said Thursday. "I never lie about my age." Her birthday is on May 22. HAYES FEATURED IN TOURIST COMMERCIAL: The soulful chef is inviting tourists to Tennessee. Isaac Hayes, the voice of Chef on Comedy Central's "South Park," is featured in a new 30-second commercial by the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development. Hayes, a Memphis native, says: "In Tennessee, the stage is set for you.
Just go out and play, baby on this stage, it's all good." Dolly Parton also has been featured in the ad campaign. The comHayes mercial will air in regional markets such as Atlanta; Birmingham, Little Rock, Louisville, and St. Louis. Tourism is one of Tennessee's largest industries, generating more than $10 billion in direct revenues last year and employing more than 173,000 people. From wire reports Discover what lies in a shoe box A shoe box is more than a cardboard container for new footwear.
It also can be a room in a house or a scene outdoors. Many a school project has started with an empty shoe box and ended depicting an event out of history in three dimensions. Not every one turns out to be a work of art, but dioramas do have a certain visual appeal that suggests reality. Second Street Gallery is offering an event Sunday afternoon in which children and their parents can explore the process of creating illusion from various objects. The theme for the art gallery's fourth annual Family Art Day is inspired by the work of Lori Nix, whose installation is on display in the Main Gallery through May.
"Deceptions: Photographs by Lori Nix" features about 19 photographs of large-scale dioramas that the artist constructed from hobby shop miniatures and found objects. She also might use photographs as backdrops, helping to create a level of detail that leads viewers, at first glance, to see a picture of a real scene. But it isn't Nix's intention to deceive for long. There are elements that give away the artifice.
