EMINEM AGAIN
"The Eminem Show" finished on top of the album charts for the fifth time in its five weeks in release, selling almost three times as many copies last week as the No. 2 album, the new Papa Roach release "lovehatetragedy."
According to SoundScan, Eminem sold 381,000 copies, running its five-week total to more than 3.3 million. Papa Roach sold 136,000 copies in its debut week.
Korn's "Untouchables" dropped from second to third place, selling just 132,000 copies. The new Wyclef Jean album "Masquerade" finished sixth in its first week in stores.

KUBRICK PUBLISHING EVENT
The widow of Stanley Kubrick is putting together a book, due to be published next year, about the late filmmaker's frustrated attempts to make a movie about Napoleon.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Christiane Kubrick is working on "Stanley Kubrick's Napoleon: His Greatest Film Never Made" with her brother Jan Harlan -- who also served as executive producer on Kubrick's films "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999), "Full Metal Jacket" (1987), "The Shining" (1980) and "Barry Lyndon" (1975). Harlan also executive produced "Artificial Intelligence: AI" (2001), the movie Steven Spielberg directed after his collaboration with Kubrick came to a sudden halt with Kubrick's death in March 1999.
The paper reported that the Napoleon project had been a 30-year obsession with Kubrick -- and that he had collected some 18,000 books on the subject in an exhaustive study of Napoleon's life.
"Napoleon interested Stanley very much," Harlan told the paper, "because here was a man with a huge talent and tremendous charisma who in the end failed only because of his emotions and vanity."
He said Kubrick wanted to make a film covering Napoleon's life from cradle to grave, but was never able to get funding for the project after the 1970 movie "Waterloo" -- starring Rod Steiger as the French leader -- failed at the box office.



ANOTHER CARTOON CLASSIC HEADED FOR BIG SCREEN
Plans are under way in Hollywood to adapt the '60s cartoon series "Underdog" as a live-action feature for Disney.
The animated show featured the voice of Wally Cox ("Hollywood Squares") as a puppy who was accidentally exposed to an experimental substance -- and turned into a superhero every time the beautiful TV reporter Sweet Polly Purebread got in trouble. Along the way, Underdog got the upper hand each week against such villains as Simon Bar-Sinister and Riff-Raff.

FERGIE ON THE REBOUND
Sarah Ferguson -- better known to British subjects as the Duchess of York, and popularly known as Fergie -- is making plans to host a daily TV talk show.
Universal Television Enterprises president Steve Rosenberg told Daily Variety Fergie has signed a deal to make a pilot for a one-hour show.
"Sarah is an amazing person and a one-of-a-kind talent who is perfect for television," said Rosenberg. "She is the person next door whose inspirational stories of survival make her so incredibly appealing to viewers and stations."
Ferguson married England's Prince Andrew in 1986, in a highly-publicized ceremony. The couple divorced in 1996 after tabloids published pictures of Fergie -- topless -- playing around with a Texas millionaire.
She had a talk show in England, but it did not succeed. In the United States, she had more success as a pitchwoman for Weight Watchers and the author of several children's books.

PEOPLE'S CHOICE
Producers of NBC's Emmy-winning medical drama "ER" plan to let viewers program the show for five weeks this summer -- by casting online votes for their favorite episodes.
The top five choices will be televised in ascending order on consecutive Thursdays beginning July 11, with the top finisher airing on Aug. 8. Voting will be conducted June 13 through July 4 at NBC.com/ER.
Visitors to the Web site will be able to choose from 17 vintage "ER" episodes -- including "Motherhood," from the show's first season, in which Dr. Benton (Eriq La Salle) sees his mother die. Another contender is "Union Station," the episode in which Dr. Greene (Anthony Edwards) tries to catch Dr. Lewis (Sherry Stringfield) to tell her he loves her before she leaves town.
Other possibilities include "Random Acts," in which Greene is attacked by a patient's angry relative, and "Fathers and Sons," in which Dr. Ross (George Clooney) and Greene travel cross-country to identify the body of Ross' father.
There's also "Be Still My Heart," in which Lucy (Kellie Martin) and Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) are stabbed by a deranged patient, and "The Dance We Do," where Abby (Maura Tierney) finds that her manic mother (guest star Sally Field) has disappeared.
