Only 37 percent of kids say their parents' advice really stinks. -- NEW YORK -- Collin Raye is crossing over from country music to kiddie compositions. The singer will release "Counting Sheep," his first children's album on January 25. Among the kid-oriented cuts is a remake of the Beatles' ballad, "Blackbird." -- NEW YORK -- Bad box office may be why Claire Danes is taking a year off from Yale.
