Henry Gibson, whose diverse portrayals of the full spectrum of life from Nazis to poets delighted and endeared him to three generations, has died at his home in Malibu after a brief battle with cancer. He was 73. Born James Bateman, on September 21, 1935 in Germantown, Pennsylvnia, Henry took his [...] Twenty years after it first left a tide-mark on America’s screens, Paramount have announced plans to produce a big-screen remake of that waterlogged soap known as ‘Baywatch.’ When NBC debuted the show in September ’98 the public reaction was so universally bad, it was canceled after only one season. But like [...] For seventeen years, Jay Leno ruled late-night with no serious contenders.

The [...] The economy is doing badly, as we all know, and current conditions are making jobs hard to find and even harder to keep. But tough employment prospects are nothing new in our field. Any Actor who plans to spend more than a week in gainful employment had better be the fabled jack of [...] Not content with lying to half the nation on ABC recently, Jessica Simpson upset a whole new group of her fans at a concert in Michigan last night, with a show that was an endless litany of sham and inadequacy. In a performance of less than 40-minutes as the opening act [...] And so it begins. TNT’s ongoing insult ‘Trust Me’ seems to have started a trend, and this is where I need to record that a regrettable chance for “I told you so!” is now almost certain as part of our future.
