Actor Richard Widmark has passed away. He did some good work. Career info.
He was 93 years old.
Richard Widmark, who created a villain in his first movie role who was so repellent and frightening that the actor became a star overnight, died Monday at his home in Roxbury, Conn. He was 93.
His death was announced Wednesday morning by his wife, Susan Blanchard. She said that Mr. Widmark had fractured a vertebra in recent months and that his conditioned had worsened.
Did O'Reilly lose his temper? Could be. But the real news is the size of the rally. Damn, Obama's drawing some crowds. Forget his staff, Hillary probably wishes O'Reilly would take Obama out. Heh!
NASHUA, N.H. -- An aide to Barack Obama said talk-show host Bill O'Reilly shoved him several times at the rope line after a campaign event today.
Marvin Nicholson, Obama's trip director, said the commentator from Fox News Channel pushed him and called him "low class" after Nicholson refused to get out of the way of his cameraman's shot.
"I've worked two campaigns, and I've never had a member of the press lay hands on a staff member before," Nicholson said.
The unusual incident occurred at the end of a rally in which more than 1,500 people jammed a high school gymnasium to see the first-term senator fresh off his victory at the Iowa Caucus.
I remember when you'd click on a South Park clip only to find out it was pulled from You Tube or some such. Starting next year, every episode on line and free.
The decision from the biggest division of media conglomerate Viacom Inc follows on the heels of the “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” whose popularity online has helped boost television viewership.
Not only does Joachim Phoenix apparently not Walk The Line, anyone who knows anything about blogs knows the war and Bush have been discussed ad nauseum. So, what blogs and media could it be that Phoenix reads to conclude there's no substantive discussion going on? Celebrity blogs (and media), no doubt. Evidently he lives in a little bubble of celebrity and bases his worldview entirely upon that. No wonder they keep making such dumb movies when it comes to politics, they don't get out enough to understand the larger discussion going on.
“When my brother passed it was toward the end of an era. If it had happened much later, it would have been on a lot of f**king blogs.
The thing we should be discussing in the news, what the media should be going after in a heartless way, isn’t the family of somebody who has passed away, but instead - oh, I don’t know - how about a president who’s lying?
What with "24" possibly not being on this year due to the writers strike, there's this based upon what it would have been like given the state of tech and the Internet in 1994. Things sure have changed.
It would appear a headline writer is having a little fun at the expense of Britney Spears. Thank God for the children it was only a red light.

Nov. 5 (Bloomberg) — Gisele Bundchen wants to remain the world’s richest model and is insisting that she be paid in almost any currency but the U.S. dollar.
Like billionaire investors Warren Buffett and Bill Gross, the Brazilian supermodel, who Forbes magazine says earns more than anyone in her industry, is at the top of a growing list of rich people who have concluded that the currency can only depreciate because Americans led by President George W. Bush are living beyond their means.
So, Stephen Colbert is running for President. Putting aside Linda Lovelace, who also ran for Prez, this guy did it with NBC as his launch pad when NBC actually meant something, as in it was one of only three national networks and it became something of a uniquely funny national goof.
Colbert's talented, if far too derivative for my tastes, though Jon Stewart, whose show he announced on, is funnier. And maybe it's as much the fragmented mass media as anything else that gives us the niche stars we have today. But I remember Pat Paulsen and you're no Pat Paulsen, buddy. Good luck with the shtick campaign.
In Memory...

See if you can pick a side to support in this one. Yesterday I posted on NBC's decision to carry a bizarre crying rant by Ellen DeGeneres over a rescue dog taken from a family to which DeGeneres handed-off the dog violating a contractual obligation.
Today we learn that DeGeneres' fans are making death threats against the non-profit dog rescue operation which refuses to return the dog due to one of their rules:
Fink said Moms and Mutts has a rule that families with children under 14 are not allowed to adopt small dogs.
"It's for the protection of the dog," he said.
A moment of non-silence, please.
PARIS (AP) - Marcel Marceau, the master of mime who transformed silence into poetry with lithe gestures and pliant facial expressions that spoke to generations of young and old, has died. He was 84.
