Brian Flemming triumphed over his deadly habits – alcoholism, suicidal thoughts, depression, and unhealthy eating – to lose almost 400 lbs., but with folds of excess skin, he still wasn't happy.
"I've put it so much work to be fit, but the skin is still there, and it really frustrates me," Flemming says in this exclusive clip from Wednesday's episode of Skin Tight. "It holds me back and it controls my life. I need to have it removed and I can't wait to get rid of it."
Flemming, 33, is healthy now, but it was a long journey to get there. Six years ago,...

There are two upcoming movie musicals that, for a long time, I've wanted to make into motion pictures, should someone with money be willing to give me the funds to make them -- Into The Woods and The Last 5 Years. I'm both nervous and excited to see how directors Rob Marshall and Richard Lagravenese, respectfully, have interpreted the material I hold so close to my heart. I am especially nervous for Into The Woods, given Marshall's less than impressive track record. If someone is going to screw up something I cherish, it should be me. Of course, there are far more than two musicals I have a deep connection to. Some have already been made into films, like Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Les Miserables, but there is a vast collection of musicals I have thought could make fantastic films, but have never been made.

The subject of persecution and nonacceptance of a “stranger” entering a new community has been tackled in film, books, and stage productions for years. Though many of these stories sometimes fall to the side of melodrama, a few stand out as touching accounts that reflect our own society. Thankfully, Bat Boy: The Musical, a story by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming and music and lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe, is able to touch on these complex issues while also infusing some effective humor.

After the trailer for “inFamous 2” was recently released, fans of the franchise immediately wanted to hear more details on what's in store for Cole MacGrath. I recently had the opportunity to watch some gameplay and speak with representatives from developer Sucker Punch about where the series is headed next.
The demo shown at a recent E3 session took place in the same French Quarter-inspired setting shown in the debut trailer. While the game's new location obviously evokes the feeling of New Orleans, it is actually called New Marais. “inFamous 2” Game Director, Nate Fox, explained why the development team decided to move Cole south.
“My father grew up [in New Orleans],” said Fox, “He made the town sound larger than life, full of overpowering beauty and scary stuff in dark alleys. What better setting for a superhero story?”
When the demo opened, citizens had gathered at a hate rally, protesting the recent influx of non-humans into New Marais.
