Penny Marshall On What Keeps 'Laverne & Shirley' Relevant
10 May 2013 8:27 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Laverne & Shirley" ended its eight-season run 30 years ago on May 10, 1983, but turn on your TV at the right time and you'll still find Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams in their now-iconic roles.
Marshall, who played tough girl Laverne De Fazio and went on to direct box office classics such as "Big" and "A League of Their Own," said she has nothing but fond memories of the show.
"It was just a fun show to do," Marshall told The Huffington Post in a phone interview. "At least we tried to make it as funny as possible. The writers did as well as Cindy and I and everybody else. We were considered lower class, which we were. We never got nominated for an Emmy. We never got nominated for nothing ..."
"Laverne & Shirley" was a spinoff of "Happy Days." Marshall, whose brother Garry created the parent show, asked her to take on the »

Former heavyweight champion sets his sights on Shakespeare after wrapping up his one-man stage show, Undisputed Truth
It might bring new meaning to the line "lend me your ears", but former boxer Mike Tyson has said he wants to try his skills at Shakespeare.
The onetime heavyweight champion of the world has been touring his autobiographical solo show, Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, around the Us and seems to have picked up a taste for the stage.
Speaking to the New York Daily News, the 46-year-old asked: "Wouldn't Shakespeare be awesome?" before pointing to one part in particular: "That black guy … could you imagine me in Othello?"
However, Tyson recognised he might need some training before tackling one of the most iconic roles in the theatrical canon: "Anything you give me time to prepare, I can do," he said. "I don't think I am ready for that yet, but I would like to try. »

NBC Renews ‘Revolution’ For Season 2, ‘Grimm’ For Season 3
26 April 2013 4:08 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
NBC has decided to spare fans a bit of un-due agony by announcing the renewal of five dramas – Revolution, Grimm, Chicago Fire, Parenthood, and Law and Order: Svu – weeks ahead of the announcement of their full fall schedule. Each show will return next season with a full 22 episode run.
Though never really assured of a renewal before, none of these shows seemed to really be “on the bubble” or otherwise in danger of cancellation, especially on NBC, a network in need of consistent performers, and in particular, freshman success stories.
One of those success stories, Revolution, is the top rated new drama among the key demos, and the show’s youthful audience surely helps to maintain good buzz, something that doubtlessly helped keep the serialized series alive after a long mid-season hiatus, a break that arguably helped ...

'Svu' Is Getting A Fifteenth Season
26 April 2013 11:49 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Law and Order: Svu" has been renewed!
NBC picked up the procedural, which is the last remaining part of the "Law and Order" franchise, for a Season 15. The network's decision to renew "Law and Order: Svu" comes as no surprise: In its current fourteen season, the series has averaged a 1.73 in the key 18-49 demographic with 6.34 million total viewers. For NBC, those numbers are pretty solid.
The network also announced the renewals of "Grimm," "Revolution," "Law & Order: Svu," "Parenthood" and "Chicago Fire."
In April, "Svu" creator Dick Wolf said he was certain "Law and Order: Svu" would be renewed for a fifteenth season.
The series -- which stars Mariska Hargitay, Ice-t, Dann Florek, Richard Belzer, Kelli Giddish and Danny Pino -- has made headlines recently for its topical storylines, ranging from a "legitimate rape" episode to another that mirror the Rihanna-Chris Brown controversy. "Svu" also reached its milestone (and impressive »

Call the Midwife: an unexpected PBS hit with another Brit import | Emma Brockes
26 April 2013 7:04 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Downton Abbey relies on period nostalgia to charm Us viewers, but Call the Midwife is closer to Mad Men's unsentimental drama
Call the Midwife, the PBS drama imported from the BBC, is halfway through its second season in the Us and reliably banking 3 million viewers a week. (In Britain, it eventually outstripped Downton Abbey, with over three times that number.) Mad Men gave us the flash and emptiness of the 1960s, Midwife is the desperately dreary British equivalent, where everyone gets around on bikes, fending off colds, petty tyranny and aggressively patterned wallpaper.
Which isn't to say the drama itself is dreary. The first time I saw it, on a recent visit back to Britain, I sat down at my dad's house in a spirit of mockery. The show's title makes it sound like an Alan Bennett farce; it features a character called Chummy, who might as well be called »

Guwahati, April 20: The Assam government has provided security to the state's popular singer Zubeen Garg despite his reluctance following the threat from the anti-talk faction of the Ulfa for defying its diktat against singing Hindi songs during the Bihu festivities.
The singer initially refused to accept the personnel security officers (PSOs) provided to him by the state government but he had bow down to the pressure from the government considering the threat by the militants.
Assam's Inspector General of Police (Law and Order) S.N. Singh said: "He (Garg) was reluctant initially but later accepted the PSOs. He was provided with two. »

Is This Taylor Swift's Really Old MySpace Bio?
16 April 2013 2:16 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
MySpace is so six years ago, but we can't help but feel a little nostalgic when we came across one country-pop star's (possible) bio written in 2007... before she was world famous.
While we can't be 100 percent certain, a Taylor Swift bio from the social networking site has apparently been unearthed after a T-Swift fan tweeted the following:
If true, we think the clues in the bio, in addition to this profile written in 2007, gives it away. The bio (in what would have been written by a 17-year-old Swift) states:
I am obsessed with lyrics. I love Tennessee. And talking to people. I was born on December 13th, 1989. Thirteen is my lucky number. I can tell you some Really weird coincidences that involved that number.. Long story short, 13 is good. I am the most competitive person I know. I never really got into sports, so I guess you could say that music is my game. »

42 – The Review

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and it’s time to crack open the windows after so many long months. Ah, springtime, when a young man’s (and many not so young) thoughts turn to … baseball. Well, it turns out that many in Hollywood have the old “horse-hide” on the brain too. This favorite American pastime has graced the big screen many times from light comedies such as Alibi Ike and Major League to heavy dramas like Bang The Drum Slowly. One classic flick, The Natural, could be classified a Fantasy allegory while another, Bull Durham, is a sexy bedroom romp. Of course, film makers have chosen to tell several real-life stories of the diamond with Pride Of The Yankees (Lou Gehrig’s tale), a couple of Babe Ruth biopics, and the lady players of World War II in A League Of Their Own.

Criminal Minds Review: Head Games
10 April 2013 8:46 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
This week's Criminal Minds episode provided a satisfying procedural story, undiluted by distractions of The Replicator, or by any overly-disturbing scenes.
It was a full-on puzzle piece, which the Bau had to decipher and resolve without needing to dive into any of the team members' back stories.
The story of "Pay It Forward" involved a man who sat in jail 25 years ago and watched while a woman's alleged rape was covered up to protect the son of the town's favored industrialist who ran a carpet business. The Unsub subsequently murdered and decapitated the alleged rapist and secretly stuffed his head into a time capsule which the town then sealed and buried, to be opened again in 2013.
His intent, hidden for all those years, was to eventually ensure that all those who were involved in the alleged rape were provided his brand of vigilante justice.
