HARDLY
WORTH BLOGGING ABOUT On an otherwise hideous stretch of over commercialized boulevard sits a charming stone house that may have belonged to a silent era movie star. From the article in the Greensboro (NC) News & Record: "She says it’s not legend but fact that a former silent screen star lived there. She remembers the woman only by one name, Pagnotta or Pegnotta. An Internet search of those names turned up nothing." Any ideas? Pola Negri came to mind but she retired to Texas in the 1960s and died in 1987. Speaking of small towns in North Carolina where obscure movie stars retired, this political film was shot in the place where I went to college. I think Salisbury, NC only had about 50,000 residents at the time of Sidney Blackmer's death in 1972. You may remember him as the coven leader in Rosemary's Baby, he had a distinguished career in motion pictures and on Broadway. The first McDonald's opened in Salisbury in the late-1970s!
The 8th Annual Stony Awards were handed out by High Times magazine (that's still around?) and the big winners were Spiderman's James Franco, and One Tree Hill's Danneel Harris who won the Stoner and Stonette of the Year titles. Pineapple Express won for Best Comedy, Weeds for Best TV Show (who would have guessed), The Wackness for Best Drama, and Super High Me won Best Documentary. Tuesday,

STUFF As expected, FOX has cancelled Do Not Disturb, the first fall fatality. Barrack Hussein Obama (aka Bamm Bamm) came to my back yard yesterday. In that spirit, you must watch this important video before making your choice for president next month. Bravo will be airing reruns of the critically acclaimed Swingtown. Despite Universal's legal wrangling, a judge has ruled that Project Runway can not move from Bravo to Lifetime. Production is already ramping up for season 6. From last night's SNL: Judy Grimes - She is totally just kidding...
Here's the skit everyone will be talking about: Sunday,

TV
& DVD NEWS How
I Met Your Mother Season Three arrives on DVD on October 7th from
Fox Home Entertainment. With hilarious special guest appearances including
pop star Britney Spears, supermodel Heidi Klum, Mandy Moore, Enrique Iglesias
and Sarah Chalke (“Scrubs”), the three-disc DVD collection
includes all 20 episodes from season three plus bonus features including
an unrated gag reel, Lily & Marshall’s honeymoon videos, Robin
Sparkles music video, cast favorites featurette & select episode commentaries
by the cast & show creators and more. Broadcast
television will have 16 gay and bisexual regular characters in prime-time
series this fall, more than double the seven of a year ago,
a new study has found. The premiere episode of Heroes this fall was down a whopping 25% over last year's opener. Ratings are up 28% for The Daily Show over last year at this time. Numbers for the daytime version of Deal or No Deal - a pretty good show by the way - are very strong, it's the highest-rated new syndicated show this fall. Don Rickles answers questions backstage at the Emmy Awards. Another
radio / television legend returns to the big screen - Walt Disney Studios
and Jerry Bruckheimer's production of The Lone Ranger will star
Johnny Depp as Tonto. Personally, The Lone Ranger and Green Hornet never
thrilled me, they're third tier characters producers turn to when the
good superheroes are all taken. Who's next, The Shadow? Doc Savage? Enjoy Hole in the Wall on Fox? It probably won't be around much longer. The CW has ordered a full season of Smallville. My
Name is Earl Season Three hits the streets September 30th, 5 days
after the new season debuts on NBC. Season Three of the Emmy-award winning
series follows Earl’s (Inmate 28307-016) adventures back in prison
as he attempts to survive from the inside. This guy sounds a lot like the Letterman I used to watch: Thursday,

RERUN
I remember one day I was working at Seiniger Advertising in West Hollywood when an announcement came over the intercom - "Neal Adams, please call reception." I was floored! Neal Adams was here? I was a huge fan of his work growing up. Sure enough, there he was upstairs at a desk, drawing away for some movie poster idea or another. I spoke with him briefly, the set about to school the art directors on just who Neal Adams was. He re-invented Batman, upended the entire comic book industry, Green Lantern / Green Arrow, National Lampoon comic parodies, on and on. A couple of days later, he had a ton of work from our agency and was back working from his studio, with assistants. I remember he did some mind-blowing color sketches for Star Trek 5 - I am kicking myself for not keeping copies of those small, beautiful works of art. As I recall someone swiped the originals or they were lost, hopefully the artist got them back.
You could actually get a full lunch for 99 cents in 1975! A rib eye lunch for $1.29? Talk about inflation... and as I recall, the food was pretty good at the Ponderosa. Wednesday,
