Will Friedle isn’t the type of person to answer his phone while at a lunch — especially at a work lunch. In fact, he may have better manners than anyone I’ve ever met. But this was an exception.
We’d been sitting for about 10 minutes — Friedle, Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong and me — gathered around a corner booth in a Studio City restaurant.
“Oh, my gosh, I’m sorry, I have to take this,” he says after pulling his iPhone out of his pocket. He quickly turns it around, showing the group the names that are scrolling across the screen: “Bill & Bonnie Daniels.”
It was just a check in from Mr. (and Mrs.) Feeny and no, it wasn’t a planned call. It was simply an example of how most (more on that later) of this cast is actually still close.

Kirk Baily, the actor best known for his role as dim-witted camp counselor Kevin “Ug” Lee on the early Nickelodeon sitcom “Salute Your Shorts,” died Feb. 27 in Los Angeles. His domestic partner, Ranjani Brow, confirmed that he died after battling lung cancer. He was 59.
Baily got his start as a sound coordinator for the 1988 cult classic “Killer Klowns From Outer Space,” before he was cast in “Salute Your Shorts,” which premiered in 1991. Created by Steve Slavkin and based on a book of the same name he wrote with Thomas Hill, “Salute Your Shorts” premiered July 1991 and ran for two seasons. The series starred Danny Cooksey, Erik MacArthur, Blake Soper, Michael Bower, Trevor Eyster, Venus DeMilo Thomas, Heidi Lucas and Megan Berwick as various campers at the fictional Camp Anawanna. Baily’s character, Ug, acted as an antagonist toward the kids, as well as the most frequent victim of their pranks.

Kirk Baily, who portrayed Kevin “Ug” Lee on the 1991-92 Nickelodeon comedy Salute Your Shorts, died Feb. 28 six months after being diagnosed with lung cancer. He was 59.
His death was announced by friends on social media. TMZ reports the cause of death as lung cancer based on confirmation from family.
In the two-season Salute Your Shorts set at a teen summer camp, Baily played camp counselor (and butt of jokes and pranks) Kevin “Ug” Lee. Created by Steve Slavkin and produced by Propaganda Films, the series co-starred Danny Cooksey, Erik MacArthur and Blake Soper as several of the campers.
Although Baily would make appearances as an actor in various series following the cult favorite Salute Your Shorts, he was most prolific as a voice actor for animated TV, film and video games in the several decades prior to his death. Among his TV and film voiceover credits are Cowboy Bebop...

Jenny Lewis and the rest of Rilo Kiley called it semi-quits in 2010, but a new post on the band's Facebook page suggests they're just about ready to strike it up again.
"Record is almost finished, and artwork is nearly done," the brief post reads. "Going to need your help! More to come."
The soulful indie outfit best known for sleeper hits like "Portions for Foxes," "Silver Lining" and "Breaking Up" is comprised of Lewis, Blake Sennett, Pierre de Reeder, and Jason Boesel. Their last effort was 2007's "Under the Blacklight."
Bandmembers announced a hiatus in 2010, and Sennett eventually went so far as to compare the band to a corpse. "I would say that if Rilo Kiley were ... a human being ... he’s probably laying on his back in a morgue with a tag on his toe," he said. "Now, I see movies where the dead get up and walk. And when they do that,...

We've come to the point in my Voice recaps where I admit that I'm tone-deaf. So tone-deaf. Almost aggressively tone-deaf. When Christina Aguilera gargles up a compliment like, "It was really the tone in your voice I was attracted to," I literally believe she's talking about nothing. (She's usually talking about nothing, which makes it confusing.) She's actually talking about something I can't hear, but I believe that gives me an advantage over her: I can tell you what the average, below-average American hears in these contenders. We'll call that a gift.
Anyway, The Voice breezed through more than a dozen auditioners last night. It was so hard to like many of them. Let's give 'em all letter grades and shoot this two-hour fiasco off a cliff.

Indie pop band Rilo Kiley have announced that they have broken up, following a hiatus. Guitarist Blake Sennett confirmed that the group will not be returning after he and lead singer Jenny Lewis have completed other projects. Lewis has been recently been working with boyfriend Johnathan Rice under the name of Jenny and Johnny. Sennett has been recording material as part of The Elected. "I just felt like there was a lot of deception, disloyalty, greed and things I don't really want to submit myself to," Sennett told Spinner. "I had related that frustration to music but I just thought, 'I'm not going to put myself in that position again', so I said, 'F**k that, I can't do this anymore'." Speaking about their last studio album Under the Blacklight, (more)...

What sucks about having a bandmate as genuinely talented, charismatic (and, yes, physically attractive) as Jenny Lewis, lead singer and co-songwriter of Rilo Kiley, is that when you step out for a side-project, it’s tough for listeners to not automatically be a little disappointed by the lack of star power. But that’s no slight to Blake Sennett, the former child star of shows like Boy Meets World and Nickelodeon classic Salute Your Shorts (Where you at, Nickheads?) who has been the co-brains behind Rilo Kiley, one of indie-rock’s finest and most reliable bands, since day one....
