Living for the most part in Los Angeles these days gives me a certain privy to the doings in Hollywood. That said, I'm delighted to report that it looks like the long awaited sequel to "Xanadu" is a mortal lock to be made. Philip Michael Thomas and Gwyneth Paltrow have alway been inked to star. Mehears the late Lewis Grizzard is busy churning out the script as we speak...I can count to 30, but after that, I'm totally lost...Alan King: Funny, gang. Very funny...and that goes triple for Emo Phillips!...You know you're getting old when you can remember when TV dinners can in divided aluminum trays...Hoping to "expand his range," Freewilly has signed a three picture deal with Paramount for non-dolphin roles...For reasons unbeknownst to me, Shelley Long was recently inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York...What in the hell was Pa Cartwright thinking when he decided to name his son "Hoss"?...One of life's little pleasures is when you realize someone is giving you the fisheye...If the product's name starts with "Ocu-" I've already bought it...I love, I mean love Lucite...Maybe I've been away, but will somebody explain to me just what a yeast infection is?...Those reports you're hearing about the cast of the side-splitting sitcom "Night Court" getting restraining orders against me are false I can assure you...HBO continues its multi-plexing; The upcoming HBO23 will feature only movies starring Rutger Hauer...My lovely wife, Shawn King, and I recently saw one of those creepy Shakespeare plays where a guy talks to a skull and it scared the bejesus out of me. So much so that I'm in talks with my surgeon to have my own skull removed...By the way, gang, no, my wife is not the same Shaun King that quarterbacks for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ha Ha, very funny! Now stop with the calls, faxes and emails. The smoke signals can continue, though...I'm sure you've heard the rumor about Richard Gere and gerbils, but sadly, it's gotten worse. All I can say is if you have a Tickle-Me Elmo doll, hide it quick. P.S.: gere refers to his colon as "The Habitrail"...Of all the great music he gave us, I still think Irving Berlin's most lasting song was "Mr. Jaws"...Fun fact: Besides having a lengthy johnson, the late actor John Holmes served as Secretary of the Interior in the Ford administration...Am I alone in thinking that Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris is one great lay?...I cannot walk past any theatre if the marquee tells me the gifted James Spader is starring in the movie...I know it's considered sissy, but I can't pee unless I'm sitting down...I hate Rick Dees, but love His Cast of Idiots...Rappers that cuss lose me from the get-go...Has there ever been a scarier breed of showbiz groupie than Englebert Humperdinck fans?...The Power of Jah. 'Someone wanna explain that one to me?
