CHICAGO - An actor, most famous for playing "Reg" on "The Chi," recently found himself in the middle of a truly terrifying scene. According to TMZ, Barton Fitzpatrick was robbed at gunpoint early Sunday morning in Chicago. The actor was a passenger in a car, when someone slid into the backseat and demanded his belongings and the car. The suspect ended up bailing on the carjacking but did get away with Fitzpatrick’s chain and some other personal belongings. Fitzpatrick appeared in 16 episodes of The Chi, playing a gang leader. The character was killed off in Season 2. Fitzpatrick was...

Watching this preposterously vapid and slutty Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on CBS and have a few questions. Didn't the libs attack the Miss America Pageant because it supposedly emphasizes women's bodies and physical attractiveness? And CBS is the most liberal of networks with womens libber Leslie Stahl. So here you have an absolutely slutty show, which by the way is an hour long commercial for one fashion line, and hasn't this sort of replaced the Miss Anmerica pageant? And no pretense of any talent by these women except shaking their butts. You just had one of the rap groups (Jay...

The call for a BOYCOTT of the FOX channel continues into the third day. This is a protest against the scurrilous attacks on Sarah Palin by Carl Cameron and others. FOX also has taken up sides with the drive-by media and no longer is 'fair and balanced.' Spread the news of the BOYCOTT. We are looking for pressure from FOX's sponsors to straighten out their acts.

There has been an overwhelming response to the call to BOYCOTT FOX because of their trashing of Sarah Palin on their news programs, especially by Carl Cameron and Shep Smith. The one-week BOYCOTT began yesterday - Thursday, at 3:00 PM EST. While some of you remarked that you had already tuned them out, many of you agreed to begin doing so. To broaden the BOYCOTT, post this on as many other conservative blogs that you're on. FOX's sponsors will not be happy and even though you might like some FOX personalities like Cavuto, after the ratings tumble they'll be putting...

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – HBO has closed a seven-figure deal for U.S. rights to an untitled Barack Obama documentary produced by actor Edward Norton. Norton's Class 5 Films approached the Obama campaign in early 2006 about a documentary chronicling the new president elect's history in politics. Directors Amy Rice and Alicia Sams were granted extensive access to film Obama before he launched his presidential run in 2007 and have continued their shoot through his historic victory this week. HBO, which has been pursuing rights for several months, plans to air the documentary next year. "Senator Obama's history-making race for...

My friends, it's John McCain, live from New York, just three days before the election. Aides to the Republican presidential candidate said Friday that McCain will make a detour from battleground states to appear on "Saturday Night Live," the late-night show that has been a must-watch for many during the political season. Hosting the show this Saturday is actor Ben Affleck, a supporter of Democratic candidate Barack Obama. The musical guest is singer David Cook.

HBO thinks it may have found a series that — in some ways — can replace the mighty (and soon to depart) "Sopranos" as its centerpiece drama. The show is "Deadwood," the gritty, foul-mouthed Western. The news on "Deadwood," HBO's latest drama series, has been highly favorable on two fronts.
