With the star-maker machinery of the industry churning out "It" personalities faster than a woodpecker pecks, golden girls and guys of the minute are also looking leaden faster than ever -- hero today, gone tomorrow.Which current hotties WON'T last? Our predictions:
"American Idol" winner Kelly Clarkson will become One-Hit-Wonder Kelly Clarkson, with her "A Moment Like This" smash being remembered in the same manner as Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life." Clarkson's first effort at an album isn't due till Fall, and by then the moment of her "Moment" will be past.
Also on the "American Idol" front, there's Simon Cowell, whose acid tongued ways are sure to grow tiresome to the fickle public who used to be so amused by "The Weakest Link's" acid-tongued Whatzername -- oh, yes, Anne Robinson.
