The WB's "Next Hollywood Starlet" desires amateur actresses who want "the break of a lifetime," while A&E's The Big Idea" seeks teams of two to execute a business venture in one week with $10,000 seed money. "We're looking for just normal people," "Big Idea casting producer Jason Cornwell told The Associated Press. "I'm not s looking for 'Fear Factor' with great big breasts." "The Big Idea" with an "Apprentice" business theme but an "Amazing Race" team component seeks duos who have "strong synergy, an unquenchable desire for success and a business idea that's executable in one week." The idea must be legal and can't involve investing or gambling. Cornwell, who also cast Showtime's "American Candidate," said his ideal teams would be "totally different," such as a couple of redecorating housewives from New Jerp club sey versus two promoters from New York. hot-tie- hip-ho- Sunday, September 5, 2004 perirecovery from a two-yeod of pretty severe manic de-and have recently Eression bipolar.

I had a similar problem in high school and then again in but the good news is college that in each situation, it was a different reputation I had to shed. The reason I say it's good news is that once I went to college, I had a total clean slate from the rep (I was a nerd!), but then I went the polar opposite in college and had a party igirl rep, sort of like you.

And please don't beat yourself up. For whatever reason, you needed to go through that stage to realize it's not really you. Everyone learns things about themselves through mistakes. So don't let the judgments of people at school cloud the way you see yourself. You know who you are and just keep being that persoa So that way when you do have that next clean slate, you .don't mess it up again, like I did! (Though even that rep passed.) Until then, hang in there, be good to yourself, surround yourself with genuine people (remember, it's about quality, not quantity) and know that time does heal all wounds.

Carolyn: I am reaching a point where I think it's time either to get married or break it off. I am in my early twenties and have been with my boyfriend over five years.

(Assuming this isn't in progress already.) It's not a basket of money and a roomful of caroling friends, but it's something. Whatever it is, wfll it be enough to make you look back on your depression fondly? Doubtful; I said Capra, not Polly anna. More likely, it'll become the hell you never want to relive but wouldn't trade, either, since that would mean giving up everything you've achieved since. Embrace this, and you'll start to see there is no such thing as "wast(ing) half your life." You are living your nfe. You've been living your life. So it's not the life you'd envisioned; look around you, you've joined a popular club. Now stop beating yourself, extend your hand, and, at whatever pace you can bear, start introducing yourself to fellow club members.

So, back to my advice! You will get a clean slate once you get out of high school. But until then? Think of this as a gift, because it will force you to develop "real" friendships with people who are deep, genuine and generous enough to look past superficial stuff like labels. And trust me the kinds of friends I'm talking about are very'pre-ciou- s because they're there for you no matter what. But you might not have appreciated them if you didn't have this particular challenge that's why I see it as a gift. So you can have that to look III t a i , I'm terrified about everything.

Sarah, what you're experiencing feels horrible but it's actually normal given the incredibly scary thing you just went through. It sounds like . stress. The best thing for you to do is get professional help. Just because you physically survived the situation doesn't mean you weren't hurt mentally. You were and you need help to heal. Ask your mom to help you find a therapist trained to deal with anxiety. Just say: "Mom, ever since the robbery I've had terrible nightmares, and I need help from a professional so I can get past it. I don't want this to affect my schoolwork or my future.'' You can also find a therapist yourself : Visit www.okpsych.org to get the names of at least three doctoral-levpsychologists near Broken Arrow. Ask your mom to call the off ices to briefly describe , your situation; the psychologist should be able to guide you from there. . Good hick, Sarah.
