Great news for Kelsey Grammer and his fans (and I’m one of his biggest)! Grammer will be starring on Broadway, beginning in April, in the revival of “La Cage aux Folles”. This announcement comes only a few weeks after his most recent sitcom, “Hank”, was cancelled by ABC, a decision that I didn’t agree with. […]

For months ABC has been promoting their new Disney Christmas Special: “Prep and Landing.” It was supposed to air this Tuesday night, right after “A Charlie Brown Christmas”. But now that’s not going to happen. President Obama has decided to address the nation Tuesday night, and so ABC has decided to air the speech and […]

I got to see a Jimmy Fallon show the other night. No, not NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”, but Fallon’s live comedy show. Very funny. He does a combination of straight stand-up and song parodies. Plus he has some great impressions. Great show. Afterwards I went backstage and we talked about his movie career. […]

Since Christmas is a Friday this year, chances are that “Alvin 2” would not have had a good opening day at the box office […]

Are you ready for this: There will be TWO hosts of next year’s Academy Awards – Alec Baldwin…and Steve Martin. Interesting choices to say the least. Baldwin, thanks to his Emmy-winning role on “30 Rock”, is very hot right now. But I don’t think of him as a movie star or a candidate to host […]

The ’09 holiday movie season is about to begin, but already I’m looking forward to what is going to be a monumental “battle at the box office” next summer. Think about it – Three HUGE movie are set to be released within 6-weeks of each of other: “Iron Man 2” (5/7), “Shrek Forever After (5/21) […]

It only took one day for the Michael Jackson documentary, “This Is It”, to land on the list of all-time, highest-grossing music documentaries.
