Stuff # 53, April 2004

<b>FEATURES</b><br>
72 Charlie's Angels<br>
We pitched NBC the idea of a movie about the creation of this legendary show.
Turns out, they already did it. So we cut our losses and took pics of the stars
in bikinis.<br>
82 The Stuff Music Awards<br>
A look back at the year's best, worst, most annoying and possibly cancer-causing
music. Plus,<br>
a couple of surprisingly difficult music quizzes. (Making you feel dumb makes
us feel better about ourselves.)<br>
90 The Roots<br>
Philadelphia's heroes of hip-hop return with a new album, The Tipping Point, and
the power drill they borrowed from us, like, three years ago. It's about frickin'
time, home slices!<br>
96 Pamela Anderson<br>
You can't have a music issue without featuring rock's greatest muse. Ain't that
right, Tommy Lee, Kid<br>
Rock, Bret Michaels, et al.?<br>
108 High-Seas Hijacking<br>
The man who was imprisoned by modern-day buccaneers refers to them as anything<br>
but mateys.<br>
112 Crazy Naked People<br>
The bold new fashion statement is skin! And, with apologies to The Nev. York Times,
here's a hard-hitting look at all the nudes that are fit to print.<br>
114 Monica<br>
Remember when this smoking-hot pop star sang &quot;The Boy Is Mine&quot;? Apparently,
she wasn't talking about us. It kind of put a damper on the rest of the interview.
