I liked it better when The Person of The Year was me. Yes, I was surprised, too, but it had my face on it!Happy 65th Birthday to Patty Duke! Below you can see Patty talk about briefly working with Judy Garland on the set of Valley Of The Dolls, and her feelings toward the movie's director, "The meanest son-of-a-bitch I ever met in my life."
In ratings news, Glee finally held steady week-to-week.The SAG Award nominations were announced this morning, with the usual suspects (Modern Family, 30 Rock) scoring big, as well as a few surprises.Speaking of, this year's SAG Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented by Dick Van Dyke to Mary Tyler Moore. When they do her retrospective, I'm going to be pissed if they don't include my favorite Mary moment, her infamous 1976 biblical TV special Mary's Incredible Dream, which was aired once, and never again. It features Ben Vereen as Lucifer,...

Somewhere, sometime, in a parallel universe, faded pop stars are attempting some sort of comeback in Doctor Who. In Fear Herman's Hermits, the roaring Honey Monster in Chloe's closet turns out to be an amalgamation of the twee 1960s crooners who are looking for a fresh supply of helium canisters. In Courtney Love And Monsters, the grungy one-time squeeze of Kurt Cobain joins forces with Linda to banish the Abzorbaloff to the mists of time. While a shocking revelation takes place during Daleks In Manhattan Transfer, as the evil pepperpots break out from the chirruping close-harmony quartet – a prospect nearly as terrifying as listening to 'Chanson D'Amour'.
There's a daft re-imagining of the first 2007 two-parter if ever there was one, but then the real Daleks In Manhattan/Evolution Of The Daleks isn't your average Who tale. It's an odd story of extremes, both in content and reception. The idea of...

It may have been a decade of fashion and music disasters but the ‘70s also had some seriously funky food. Lydia Brownlow rediscovers classics like Baked Alaska.
It's time to dig out your bell bottoms and pull on your platform shoes as the '70s are back! It may not have been the most memorable decade, but in the food world it is strangely popular again as we are being urged to once more sample such culinary delights as Chicken Kiev, Beef Stroganoff, and Chili Con Carne. So brush down your sideburns and light up your lava lamps while you listen to a little Manhattan Transfer or Demis Roussos on your music center and puzzle over your Rubik's Cube. You may want to skip the cheese and pineapple cubes on cocktail sticks and pass on the wines of the day, Mateus Rose, or Blue Nun, but please do sample these...

For this short roundup of events launching from today throughout the weekend, I want to begin with one happening on Sunday, City Scherzos, presented by Cineaste and UnionDocs and curated by David Phelps, who writes in the program notes, "In the 20s and 30s, at the strange intersection of Impressionist music, constructivist politics, and the broadcast networking of telecommunications, film and radio, City Symphonies like Man With a Movie Camera, Rien Que Les Heures, and Berlin: City Symphony became something of a genre… The films, taking off from modernist city novels like Ulysses and Manhattan Transfer, operate as though the city, not director, is a conductor through everyday rhythms, pathways, and rituals, and its inhabitants the floating nodes in a larger network of information exchange and routine. In the age of global social networks, these films couldn't be more relevant." David will be on hand to discuss Joris Ivens's...
