THE FAB FEMALES

Cynthia, Yoko, May, Jane, Linda, Heather, Pattie, Olivia, Maureen and Barbara -- that doesn't have the same ring as John, Paul, George and Ringo, but they certainly are on a first-name basis in The Beatles' universe.

Those 10 women -- whose last names, respectively, are Powell, Ono, Pang, Asher, Eastman, Mills, Boyd, Arias, Cox and Bach, for those not in the know -- will be the subject of a new profile airing on Bio, a.k.a. the Biography channel. The Beatles' Women is set to premiere at 9 p.m. ET on Aug. 8.

That same week, the Biography channel will air episodes about Tina Turner (9 p.m. ET on Aug. 9) and Aretha Franklin (9 p.m. ET on Aug. 10).



A CLASSY MOVE

Throughout his career, Dwight Yoakam (left) has proudly carried on the twang-with-a-kick "Bakersfield sound" that country legend Buck Owens popularized in the 1960s.

Yoakam pays tribute to Owens, who died in March 2006 at age 76 in California, on his next album, appropriately titled Dwight Sings Buck, due Oct. 23 via New West.

A portion of the proceeds will go to the Buck Owens American Music Foundation.
