Joyce Brothers, television psychologist and longtime newspaper advice columnist died today in New York City. She was 85. Her publicist tells media outlets she passed away after a long illness. The New York City native became famous in 1955 after winning The $64,000 Question game show on which she appeared as an expert on boxing. Her success on the show led her to become a color commentator for CBS during the boxing match between Carmen Basilio and Sugar Ray Robinson. In 1958 she was given her own advice show about relationships on a New York station and she went on to a succession of syndicated advice shows on both TV and radio over a four-decade long broadcasting career.

Long before he was starring in every other box office hit, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was just an enthusiastic kid with a love of trivia ... and long hair.

In the episode above, 16-year-old Gordon-Levitt is sporting his classic "3rd Rock From The Sun" 'do and killing it on a 1997 episode of "Celebrity Jeopardy," where he was pitted against Kirsten Dunst and Benjamin Salisbury, who played the middle Sheffield child on "The Nanny."

When host Alex Trebeck read, "Holden Calfield, the hero of this Salinger novel, hates movies, phones, and his classmate Ernest Morrow," Gordon-Levitt (who went by "Joey" at the time) interrupted with some "ooh ooh's." Then, he responded excitedly, "What is 'Catcher In The Rye?' I'm so excited! That's my favorite book."

Though he was right, Salisbury ended up winning it all in Final Jeopardy. But who's winning these days? Definitely Jgl.

We don’t feature animation here on FEARnet.com that often, but when an animated film comes along that features the classic movie monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy we have to bend the rules a little. Hotel Transylvania (out on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, and DVD January 29) takes these beloved beasts and brings them together to tell a hilarious tale that also pushes the importance of acceptance and being proud of who you are. With voice acting from Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Selena Gomez, and many more, the film is one of several animated films recently that have delved into slightly darker territory (and we’re all the better for it).

FEARnet recently sat down with actress Fran Drescher (who plays “Eunice,” the Bride of Frankenstein) to discuss voicing The Bride, a possible sequel, and her Cancer Schmancer movement.
