Martha Stewart: Actress / Singer in Fox movies apparently not dead despite two-year-old reports to the contrary (Photo: Martha Stewart and Perry Como in 'Doll Face') According to various online reports, including Variety's, actress and singer Martha Stewart, a pretty blonde featured in supporting roles in a handful of 20th Century Fox movies of the '40s, died at age 89 of "natural causes" in Northeast Harbor, Maine, on February 25, 2012. Needless to say, that was not the same Martha Stewart hawking "delicious foods" and whatever else on American television. But quite possibly, the Martha Stewart who died in February 2012 -- if any -- was not the Martha Stewart of old Fox movies either. And that's why I'm republishing this (former) obit, originally posted more than two and a half years ago: March 11, 2012. Earlier today, a commenter wrote to Alt Film Guide, claiming that the Martha Stewart featured in Doll Face, I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now,...

With its dynamic host and famous guests, Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee has established itself as a must-watch web series. Its distinctive style has also proved ripe for imitation and parody, with the recently-launched Pedestrians In Bars Eating Toffee serving as one of the funniest spoofs yet. Pedestrians In Bars Eating Toffee is the creation of Gabe Oppenheim, a comedian who has clearly studied Seinfeld's web series very closely. Instead of cruising around in a snazzy old car, Oppenheim begins the episode by waxing poetic about his crappy sneakers. The entire eight-minute episode (which features comedian Samuel Goldberg as its guest star) particularly targets Seinfeld's tendency to interrupt his guests and his preference for his own stories over those of his guests. Oppenheim is maybe being a bit unfair, but he's very funny, so he gets a pass. Pedestrians In Bars Eating Toffee is not...

Tyler Clementi's roommate-who broadcast the gay teen's sexual encounter with a man, leading to his suicide-could get 10 years in prison. Jessica Bennett on cyberbullying's new price.
It was perhaps the most brutal example of a private moment gone public. A shy 18-year-old, an accomplished violinist, learns a month into the school year that his college roommate has been spying, via a computer webcam, on his sexual relations with another young man. This student is not openly gay, nor does he know how many of his peers have viewed the recording. So it's easy to imagine that Tyler Clementi was assuming the worst when, two days later, on September 21, the Rutgers freshman jumped 202 feet to his death from the George Washington Bridge.
