So who will replace Hilary Rosen as head of the American music industry's industry group the RIAA? Probably not former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani – previously reported as a favorite among record label chiefs but probably too busy running his consultancy company and being mooted as a future presidential candidate. Those in the know are now talking about Pentagon spokesperson Victoria Clarke, who has been giving daily briefings in the US with regards the war in Iraq. Entertainments mag Variety says Clarke is top of the RIAA's "wish list" – presumably they want her spin skills in reporting the industry's own war against the music pirates. That said Rosen has said that while Clarke is "an amazing talent" she is not an official candidate, and the notion of a wish list is "irrelevant".
