Helen Grayco, the pop singer and actress who appeared on records, tours, radio programs and TV shows as a classy contrast to her zany bandleader husband, Spike Jones, has died. She was 97.
Grayco died Saturday of cancer at her home in Los Angeles, her son, longtime Creative Arts Emmy Awards producer Spike Jones Jr., told The Hollywood Reporter.
Jones Sr. was about to embark on a tour with his City Slickers bandmates when he approached Grayco with a job offer after watching her perform with Stan Kenton’s orchestra at the Hollywood Palladium in 1946.
“I was terribly insulted when Spike first asked to hire me,” Grayco recalled in a 2009 interview. “He had just done ‘Cocktails for Two’ and all that stuff that he was known for. ‘I don’t know where I could possibly fit in in your group. I’m not a comedienne,...

Robert Hogan, a TV character actor who was a regular on Peyton Place for two seasons and recurred on The Wire and such other popular series as Law & Order and Alice, has died. He was 87. His family said he died May 27 of pneumonia complications at his home in coastal Maine.
Hogan amassed more than 150 credits during a six-decade career, guesting multiple times on such classic shows as Murder, She Wrote, Gunsmoke, The F.B.I., Barnaby Jones, 77 Sunset Strip, The Rockford Files and as Louis Sobotka in four Season 2 episodes of HBO’s The Wire. He also played Greg Stemple in a half-dozen Alice episodes during the early 1980s.
He also played the Rev. Tom Winter — whose affairs certainly were more than clerical — in more than 60 episodes of the New England-set 1960s romantic drama Peyton Place.

The Westing Game is getting a small screen adaptation after HBO Max handed MGM and UA Television a script to series order.
The classic novel, which was written by Ellen Raskin and first published in 1978, follows the bizarre chain of events that begins when 16 people gather for the reading of a millionaire.
No one knows why eccentric, game-loving millionaire Samuel W. Westing has chosen a virtual stranger, and a possible murderer, to inherit his vast fortune by playing one last game.
It’s described as a Knives Out-meets-Agatha Christie ensemble mystery-comedy. The book won the Newbery Medal and was number one among all-time children’s novels by School Library Journal in 2012.
Julie Corman, who owns the rights to the novel, will serve as executive producer on the series. Corman, producer of films including Crazy Mama and The Lady In Red and wife of Roger Corman, produced a TV movie...

Actor Robert Conrad, the star of television series including “Hawaiian Eye,” “The Wild Wild West” and “Baa Baa Black Sheep” during an almost five-decade career that also included the occasional feature film, has died in Malibu, Calif. He was 84.
Conrad toplined at least one series in the 1950s, ’60s, ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, a rare feat of longevity for a TV star.
He made his debut playing a pilot in the 1958 film “Thundering Jets” and would go on to make credited appearances in some 15 features, making the biggest impression in 1975 heist pic “Murph the Surf” and playing John Dillinger in 1979’s “The Lady in Red.” But Conrad was a far bigger presence in television.

Robert Conrad, the actor best known for his role in the television show The Wild Wild West, died today in Malibu, Calif. of heart failure. He was 84 and his death was announced by a family spokesman.
Born in Chicago, Illinois on March 1, 1935, Conrad moved to Los Angeles in 1958 and found almost instant success, booking a recurring role on the TV show Hawaiian Eye in 1959.
After Hawaiian Eye, he scored his signature role, that of Secret Service agent James West in The Wild Wild West. The show ran from 1965 to 1969, but became an even bigger hit in syndication.

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, who directed Forster in his Academy Award-nominated role as bail bondsman Max Cherry in “Jackie Brown,” released a statement, saying casting him in that film “was one of the best choices I’ve ever made in my life.”

I remember all the breakfasts we had at silver spoons. All the stories. All the kind words. All the support.

Robert Forster, a character actor best known for “Twin Peaks” and his Oscar-nominated performance in Quentin Tarantino’s “Jackie Brown,” has died. He was 78.
The New York native, who suffered from brain cancer, died Friday in his Los Angeles home.
Forster made his first impression on Hollywood audiences in back-to-back movies set in the Army, the first being in 1967 playing the free-spirited, birthday-suit-loving Army private Ellgee Williams in John Huston’s “Reflections in a Golden Eye,” starring Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor. The next year, he played a half-breed scout in “The Stalking Moon” opposite Gregory Peck.

The recent addition of Robert Zemeckis’ Romancing The Stone to Netflix – starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner – stirred up a sizeable amount of love and nostalgia for the 1984 caper. In it, Douglas and Turner take on their own Indiana Jones-esque adventure, with crucially a couple at the heart of it that you could really root for.
But whereas Romancing The Stone tends to be very well loved, there’s a lot less affection for its rushed-out sequel, The Jewel Of The Nile. In fact, if anything, the film is best known for the song that Billy Ocean sings over the end credits, When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going (itself based on a line of dialogue that’s spouted a couple of times in the...

Jennifer Lawrence might be your fantasy best friend, but in reality, even she has a few people she's not too fond of. The Passengers star stopped by Watch What Happens Live! on Monday night along with her real-life Bff Laura, who host Andy Cohen pumped for dirt about who J Law can't stand in Hollywood. Although Laura didn't reveal too much, she gamely gave up the nicknames Jennifer has for some people. "The Lady," "The Raging Lady," "Pickle," and "The Lady in Red," are apparently the big ones. "The Lady" could be somebody British? Maybe "The Lady in Red" is a reference to a woman with red hair? As far as "Pickle" goes, though, we're all out of ideas.

Two-time Oscar winner James Horner, whose emotive scores for modern classics including Titanic and Braveheart cemented him as one of Hollywood’s most adored composers, died in a California plane crash Monday, his agency, Gorfaine/Schwartz, has confirmed. The Los Angeles native was 61.
A beloved figure in the entertainment industry, Horner was perhaps best known for his work on the 1997 film Titanic, which won the Oscar for Best Picture. The James Cameron-directed romance led to two Oscar wins for Horner – one for original dramatic score, and the other for original song (shared with lyricist Will Jennings and performer Celine Dion) for “My Heart Will Go On.” His score sold 27 million copies worldwide, becoming a financial phenomenon in the composing world.
Horner is believed to have been flying a single-engine S312 Tucano turboprop plane when the vehicle crashed in a remote area approximately 60 miles from Santa Barbara, killing the pilot.

Film composer James Horner died at the age of 61 on Monday (June 22) after the small airplane he was piloting crashed near Santa Barbara, Calif. Initial reports did not identify Horner as the plane's sole occupant, only that a plane registered to him was found crash-landed in Ventucopa, Calif., at 9:30am Pst, and that the pilot was dead. Agents Michael Gorfaine and Sam Schwartz and attorney Jay Cooper today (June 23) confirmed Horner was the pilot. Horner was a film composer long associated with some of cinema's most influential names, from James Cameron to Ron Howard to Roger Corman. His first score was for 1979's "The Lady in Red" but had his biggest break with 1982's "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." "Aliens" (1986) yielded his first of many Academy Award nominations for Best Original Score (and also Best Original Dramatic Score, from the '90s). The two Oscars he won...

It's a little weird to watch a trailer for an upcoming Disney cartoon like "Planes" and hear among the characters the voice of Dane Cook. What's a typically adults-only comic like Cook doing in the G-rated world of a Disney animated feature?
Well, maybe it's not that weird. After all, the family-friendly studio has a history, going back 60 years, of casting performers from the world of grown-up entertainment in its cartoons, and most have proved they can be fun and kid-safe in fantasy worlds far from smoky nightclubs. In fact, Disney and Pixar's classic cartoons are full of unlikely voice actors -- not just blue comics but also performers cast radically against type, and even people not considered actors at all.
Cook, then, joins a distinguished list of stars you'd never have expected to find in a Disney cartoon feature, as you can see from the gallery below.

Cook, then, joins a distinguished list of stars you'd never have expected to find in a Disney cartoon feature, as you can see from the gallery below.

It's a little weird to watch a trailer for an upcoming Disney cartoon like "Planes" and hear among the characters the voice of Dane Cook. What's a typically adults-only comic like Cook doing in the G-rated world of a Disney animated feature?
Well, maybe it's not that weird.

It comes as no surprise that Katy Perry needs a bit of a break.She released her megahit Teenage Dream album two years ago, and it's been a bit of blur ever since. She's shot numerous, big-budget music videos, topped the charts, got married and divorced, toured the world, re-released her album and even managed to squeeze in filming her first-ever 3-D concert film, "Katy Perry: Part of Me."It's a sequence of events that would leave a lesser women exhausted. And it seems all that hustle and bustle is finally catching up with the purple-haired pop superstar. She said she's now ready to chill out for a bit — finally.

The relationship between Ivy (Megan Hilty, r) and her Mama (Bernadette Peters) is not an easy one.
After last week's episode of NBC’s musical drama Smash, when Broadway legend Bernadette Peters turned up playing, well, a Broadway legend who also happens to be the prickly mother to Ivy (Megan Hilty), the drama and the multiple conflicts (and tattletale Ellis) reached new heights. But tonight's "The Coup" brings in potential backstabbing when snarky director Derek (Jack Davenport) enlists naive Karen (Katharine McPhee) to make a play to steal the Marilyn musical from Tom (Christian Borle) and Julia (Debra Messing). And what about Ivy? Now that the workshop is over, she's still sitting on pins and needles waiting to see if she's in or out as Marilyn.
To find out some inside scoop about the series, which just got the green light for a second season, AfterElton checked in with Megan Hilty...

Weddings. Don't ya just love them? The happy couple exchanging their vows. The free champagne. The endless standing around while the photographer man spends yonks assembling the massed hordes to smile cheesily at a camera lens. Not to mention the banquet meals, the awkward speeches and the equally uncomfortable dad dancing to 'The Lady In Red' or some other time-honoured classic.
So, as with weddings, let's look at some of the familiar hallmarks that are present and correct in The Wedding Of River Song...
The Quaking Groom
Like some of the grooms trembling at the thought of their blushing brides not making it to the aisle, our hero is also trembling in his boots. Yes, The Doctor has realised that Judgement Day has arrived on April 22nd 2011. It's the moment that he meets his maker, zapped by River Song in an astronaut suit and left to die before he can regenerate.

The Flicks:
Crazy Mama (1976): Roger Corman has launched countless careers, and here we get to see the beginning of a famous one: Oscar Winner Jonathan Demme. Twenty-five years before he would director The Silence Of The Lambs he directed this small gem of a road movie. Set in 1958, Cloris Leachman stars as Melba Stokes, who runs a beauty parlor with her mother Sheba (Ann Sothern) and her teenage daughter Cheryl (Linda Purl). When the shop is repossessed, Melba packs up the family and hits the road in an effort to reclaim her family home in Arkansas. Aided by Cheryl’s beleaguered boyfriend (Happy Days’ Don Most), a greaser (Brian Englund) and an old lady gambler (a scene stealing Merie Earle), they joyride through five states on a wild, hilarious crime spree.
This film is slow moving, but pleasant. Set to an excellent soundtrack of 50’s surf music, this...

Oakland — Just in time for the holiday season, the Gravy has arrived.
Saint Misbehavin’: The Wavy Gravy Movie opens up in various theaters across America at the start of December. Wavy Gravy is an icon with an ever changing career. He’s gone from the legendary Merry Pranksters to the head of security at the original Woodstock to running a respected charity and finally achieving international greatness as a flavor of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. The many facets of his life are covered in the documentary directed by Michelle Esrick.
We had a chance to sit down for an extensive interview with Wavy Gravy and Michelle Esrick when the movie premiered at 2009’s Full Frame Documentary Film Festival.
This first part has him discuss getting drunk with Jack Kerouac (On the Road) and dropping acid at the Electric Acid Kool-Aid Tests. Ahhh good times.

Dear Sarah:
Excellent days to you my warrior princess!
I just wanted to congratulate you on your sexy and smart new reality show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska!"
I want to thank you for bringing Alaska to my attention. As I am Canadian, I honestly thought it was a made-up country that existed only on a Risk board, like Kamchatka. But what I discovered was that it was a real country, full of real people who shoot rifles, handle bloody fish heads, dogsled, appear on Bill O'Reilly from the TV studio in their own fortress/mansion, people who, "Don't retreat, just reload." It's a pretty cool place, Sarah, and I thank you for introducing me to it.
I also want to thank you for being pretty. You have awesome hair, Sarah. It's as beautiful as Mt. McKinley, and I think I'd like to make a nest out of it to curl up into each night.

Morning Meme: Laugh With "Raising Hope," Lady Gaga Takes A Stand, And Dadt is Ruled Unconstitutional
Plus The Situation is denied, Janet Jackson is The Lady In Red, and Cyndi Lauper continues to Give A Damn.
Well, the big news is that a federal judge has ruled Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell unconstitutional. In what may be the only useful thing the Log Cabin Republicans have ever done, U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips granted an injunction preventing the enforcement of the statute. This puts the Obama administration in the awkward position of appealing a law it swears it wants repealed. And the injunction will almost certain be stayed pending appeal. Honestly, this may be bad news for the November elections.
A few days ago we told you of a New Zealand show called Songs for Guy that sought to sing pop songs from a man, to a man. The first reviews for the show are in, and they’re great. Now I just need...

He gave life to teenage cavemen and candy-stripe nurses. Crab monsters and humanoids from the deep. T-bird gangs and towns that dreaded sundown. His name is Roger Corman. And on Nov. 14, he will receive an honor that no one would have predicted: an honorary Academy Award. The 83-year-old B-movie titan has made nearly 400 films as a director and producer. From the start, Corman was a magnet for hungry young actors, writers, and directors who would work for slave wages for the chance to make their first film. They called it the "University of Corman," and the alumni include Francis Ford Coppola,...
