Too Soon: Predicting Future Inappropriate New York Post Headlines

5 June 2009 10:46 AM, PDT | From Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news

Today's New York Post headline about the death of actor David Carradine—"Hung Fu"—is just too perfect to have been conceived in a day. There's no way Murdoch's reliably inappropriate display-copy punsters didn't have that one in reserve—in the same way that most publications have obits of ailing notables waiting to go—hoping to God that Carradine would die exactly the way he did so that nugget of brilliance wouldn't go to waste. Not to be outdone, we've come up with our own stockpile of headlines to use if other beloved TV stars die in horrible, unexpected ways. Swine-felled Flu claims Michael Richards as latest victim M*A*S*H*E*D Alda Alda dies in stampede Everybody Shoves Raymond Ray Romano pushed onto track Two Half Men Sheen and Cryer die together—or rather not Family Tied Suicide pact at show reunion Family Splatters—Did I Do That?

Danza Lands 'Responsible' Reality Show

14 May 2009 6:35 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Actor Tony Danza is heading back to the classroom to front his own reality TV show about education.

The former Taxi star, 58, admits he is struggling to find work as an actor, so he has decided to spend a year teaching 10th grade English at a New York City school - and film it for an as-yet-untitled series.

And Danza, who earned a degree in history education from Iowa's University of Dubuque before launching his acting career, insists the programme will carve out a new genre for reality TV.

He says, "I was talking about going back and answering the call to service and doing something different with my life. I'm going to teach 10th grade English and have some other duties, maybe a drama class, and all of the things that come with teaching, like cafeteria duty.

"I'm trying to do what I call 'responsible reality'. I don't want to do that other (reality) stuff and I don't want to do a game show, and nobody's knocking down my door for acting jobs.

"I'm hoping that I'm going to move into the community and try to change some lives. I can smell 60 now and I've got a little bit of wisdom."

The name of the school where Danza will teach will remain under wraps for privacy reasons, reports the New York Post.

The series will air on America's A&E network this autumn.

An introduction to Hell... Benny Hell

23 March 2009 2:41 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

Hello, my name is Benny, and I’m an alcoholic.

Oh… wait, this isn‘t that kinda introduction. Let me start over.

Hello, my name is Benny Hell, and in addition to being an alcoholic, I’m an asshole. There is something seriously damaged in me. It guides me to music that no one seems to care about, and then it forces me to write things about it. I have a big mouth with a small filter on it, I open it and things just fall out like I’m freakin’ Linda Blair or something. Even though I have a Catholic apparel fetish (you should see me in the latex nun costume!), I’m a lot like that Devil materializing on your shoulder at the worst times possible. I whisper in your ear because I want you to get in trouble. I did, but the institution says I’m much better now.

DeVito Calls For Taxi Movie

29 January 2009 2:00 PM, PST | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Danny DeVito is hailing a cab all the way to the movies - he wants his hit TV show Taxi to be revamped as a reunion film. The actor, who played a bad-tempered boss in the beloved sitcom, wants to reteam with Christopher Lloyd, Marilu Henner, Tony Danza and the rest of the surviving cast for a movie.

He says, "It's not out of the question that down the line we could go revisit the garage and do a really good Taxi reunion movie.

“We love Taxi. I did five years on it. All the people on Taxi are my friends. Everybody started doing other things, so we were all separated and there was no way to get us back together at the same time.”
