Ageless: Dick Clark TV Crime Comedy Cameos
18 April 2012 2:32 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Looks like Bill Hicks was wrong. Dick Clark wasn’t going to be around forever.
Mister American Bandstand, the ageless face of New Year’s Eve, died today at the age of 82. A massive heart attack suffered during a procedure to tackle one of his many ailments was the culprit. He’s survived by a wife, two children, a pair of ex-wives and more cameos than you can shake a boom mic at.
Dick Clark got as much air-time out of those 82 years as he could manage. Variety shows, game shows, sitcoms – as long as the fare was light, Clark’s unlined mug would show up to drop a smile.
He didn’t appear in much crime film. What Dick Clark crime TV there is, we record here.
Back when he was a glossy, hep young dude – as opposed to a curiously pristine personality at New Year’s – Dick Clark »

Summer Pierre: The Scent of Mad Men
4 April 2012 3:47 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »

As I watched, it was like all the cigarettes they have been smoking for the past four seasons, the alcohol they drink all day, is now embedded in their skin, clothes, and carpets and exuding from the screen.
In previous seasons, everything had this scentless atmosphere -- as if the characters were themselves ads for a world that was beautiful, if lacking in humanity. This season you see that things, bodily things, cannot be so much controlled as they once were, but covered up. Betty's body, growing with weight and age, is covered up in thick, »

The hottest nonagenarian in Hollywood, Betty White is going to be honored by taking the hot seat at the Friars' Club annual celebrity roast on May 16.
White says of the honor, "Those Friars may think I'm an easy mark but I have 90 years of comebacks waiting for them. This is such an honor to be roasted by the Friars Club. It will be an afternoon filled with dirty words, risqué jokes & sex talk.....and that's just what I plan on saying. I have no clue what the comedians will talk about."
Betty joins the long line of comedians and actors who have been roasted by the Friars' Club, including Lucille Ball, Johnny Carson, Sid Caesar, Phyllis Diller, Richard Prior, Jerry Stiller, The Smothers Brothers and Quentin Tarantino.
These roasts are not to be confused with the Comedy Central roasts. The cable channel broadcasted the Friars' Club roasts from 1998 to 2002, but »

The film combines all of the classic monster »
