29 June 2009 4:15 AM, PDT | From TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news
Fred Travalena, the man of 1,000 voices and faces, and known as one of the top impressionists in the world has passed away after a seven year battle with cancer. "The Insider" has confirmed that the comedian and entertainer passed away Sunday due to a recurrence of an aggressive form of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Travalnea was a regular on various talk shows including "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson," and "Larry King Live," in addition to guest starring roles on popular TV shows such as "The Love Boat," and "Murphy Brown" -- but he was most well-known for his impressions of celebs such as Frank Sinatra, Wayne Newton, Robert DeNiro, Jack Nicholson and many other stars.

David Hyde Pierce Slept Here
29 May 2009 12:42 PM, PDT | From Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news
I recently traded a sunny day in Central Park to witness David Hyde Pierce's tour de force performance in the Manhattan theater club revival Accent On Youth. The only downside -- this dazzling old gem whizzed by too fast in the dark theater. Accent On Youth's the story of successful,sophisticated playwright in his fifties who "smells sixty" and who lives to write. Suddenly his life is unsettled when his twenty-something secretary declares she loves him madly. I was still marveling at the post-modern relevance of the play written by Samson Raphaelson in 1939 when suddenly David Hyde Pierce and the cast including superb comic actor Charles Kimbrough (stiff newscaster Jim Dial on TV's Murphy Brown) were taking final bows. There was no sensation of blood draining from my brain -- that I too frequently get in dark theaters. Yes, I am...

Bravo Unveils New Shows, Including First Scripted Series
14 April 2009 2:33 PM, PDT | From TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide.com - Breaking News news
Though Bravo has made a name for itself in the nonfiction TV game, NBC's sibling netlet is delving into a new genre: scripted series.
The network announced plans Tuesday for two new scripted shows during its upfront presentations:
Blueprint follows the lives of two best friends — one straight and one gay — who co-own a New York design firm. The dramedy comes from Laurence Andries (Six Feet Under, Alias) and executive producers Leslie Morgenstein and Bob Levy for Alloy Entertainment (Gossip Girl).
30 Under 30 centers on young, influential professionals (a sexy young chef, a gossip blogger, avant-garde artist) whose glamorous — and sometimes scandalous —lives intersect in New York City. Jonathan Prince (The Cleaner, Cane, American Dreams) and Alana Sanko (Murphy Brown) are behind the new show.
Other new reality/competition programming includes ...

Faith Ford Plays it Straight on Hope & Faith
31 March 2009 8:21 AM, PDT | From TVGuide.com - Features | See recent TVGuide - Features news
Since her breakout role on Murphy Brown, Faith Ford has become a go-to for straight-woman roles, in no small part because of her turn opposite Kelly Ripa on ABC's Hope & Faith. To mark the first season's DVD release Tuesday, TVGuide.com caught up with the 44-year-old Alexandria, La., native. She looked back on the premiere's massive food fight between her and Ripa, plus the show's madcap costume changes and a slew of special guests, including Regis Philbin as Handsome Hal. She also talked about why her first-season teenage daughter was replaced by a then-newcomer named Megan Fox.

Celebrity Birthdays - 03/21/09
21 March 2009 7:35 AM, PDT | From PopStar | See recent PopStar news
Can you guess whose birthdays are today based on the following clues? He was an important character in the Harry Potter world but did not live past TOotP. Although he has many interesting credits to his name, he is best known for portraying Lieutenant Groves in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. She plays the role of Blair Cramer in One Life to Live - in over 300 episodes! He's done everything in his power to control the life of his ex-wife, Britney Spears! One of his very first movies was WarGames, a cult classic now. He's famous for many reasons, but perhaps you'll remember him best as Inspector Gadget? We're not quite sure what originally made her famous, but she's a household name, sort of like Madonna, but we call her Rosie. First up, Sirius Black of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Gary Oldman, 51, has quite a long and distinguished career.
