By 1993 Heidi Fleiss, 27, was the talk of Hollywood. She had some of Los Angeles' most beautiful women working for her high-end prostitution service, which specifically catered to the elite. She was one of the city's most prosperous madams, netting millions in just a couple years. However, her lucrative prostitution business was under threat.

Heidi was a sweet little 11-year-old girl who was well liked. She loved animals and planned to be a writer, a veterinarian and an artist. On August 4, 1990, Heidi was abducted while walking home from a friend's house. For three weeks, 6,000 active volunteers searched the San Antonio area. In addition, pictures, flyers and electronic information was sent throughout the United States and as far away as Brazil. On August 25, Heidi's body was found by a man riding his all terrain vehicle on his land in Wimberly, Texas.

On the surface, Heidi has everything she ever wanted: a prestigious job promoting parties in Hollywood, a boyfriend she adores in Spencer, a great apartment in the Hollywood Hills, and an engagement ring around the corner. With all of that, she's still missing one thing: her best friend. Since Heidi moved in with Spencer, she hasn't spoken to Lauren at all, and the rift is only getting bigger. Now Heidi is headed towards the most important decision of her life, but she doesn't have her best friend to share it with. As wedding bells approach, is Heidi on her way out of Lauren's life forever, or will she ever convince Lauren to accept Spencer for who he is?

IT'S NOT THE PUNKED-OUT, field-hockey-team look that makes Boston's four-piece girl band Heidi so intriguing, though the image certainly doesn't hurt. It is the band's tight, energetic, purely rocking sound. The band tours to Portland to celebrate its self-released, self-titled debut 6-track CD. From the opening song, "My Day Anyway," Jill Considine's lead vocals are sometimes fast and raspy with attitude and other times fresh and clear in a punked out Annie kind of way. She keeps pace with occasional break-neck beats with equal lungs paid to each note. Considine, a founding member of Boston ska band The Allstonians, writes most of the thoughtful lyrics with drummer Lisa Pimentel, who played saxophone for Flunky (some members of which went on to form Superhoney). Sandy Manticello plays a mean bass, and Boston veteran guitarist Janet Egan,formerly of Malachite, is the newest addition.The quartet has a rap/cheerleader flavor, packed with catchy hooks and nice little surprises, such as the sudden clear cuckoo in "Can't Wait."

After almost six months of negotiations, Killing Heidi this week secured an international deal. It is with Universal imprint 333, a music label run by successful film maker Tom Shadyac ("Liar Liar", "Patch Adams", "Ace Ventura", "The Nutty Professor") and staffed with people from Universal Music. 333 is a joint venture between Universal Films and Universal Music. The interesting thing about the deal, which is for the world except for Australia and New Zealand, is that it is between manager Paul Kosky's Wah Wah Records and 333. It ... gives them full creative control, Kosky tells this column. Terms of the deal are not disclosed, but it's apparently a huge one, and is committed to a big marketing spend to break the band globally.
