Talk show host Dick Cavett put in an appearance at the Amfar Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City on January 31, 2008. It’s always nice to see a personality you grew up with still alive and enjoying life, despite its ups and downs.

Bob Barker seems to have a problem with women. He’s being sued again for sexual harassment. The woman claims she “was exposed to sexual and mental harassment, abuse, and racial discrimination.

Who knew Ted Koppel was such a stud in bed…apparently his wife. Watch Ted relate how being on the cover of a famous magazine with the headline, “Smartest Man on Television” became a funny joke about Ted’s sexual prowess.

Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel own a trademark for the phrase, “Two Thumbs Up.” Surprisingly, when they signed up with Disney for their TV show, they were not required to transfer ownership of this trademark. Now that Roger is in negotiations with with Disney for contract renewal, Two Thumbs Up has become a two sore [...]

When you’re young, people are dying every day but somehow it all escapes your attention. The idea of reading obituaries to see if you know anyone is about as familiar as the name of an adult diaper. The older you get, though, the more it becomes obvious that life takes its toll on people in [...]

There’s a lot of blather in the article below about how TV has become the hot spot for older actresses not finding work in film because of their age. The cause appears to be The Graduate syndrome: young men falling for older women. The modern interpretation of this phenomenon is MILF. So the next time [...]

Author Henry Louis Gates, Jr. beat Oprah’s dad to the punch by writing Finding Oprah’s Roots. This must have ticked off Oprah’s father, because he’s just announced that he’s writing his own tell-all book on Oprah’s roots called “Things Unspoken.” Hey Oprah, truth is in the mouth of the father, not the eye of the [...]

We missed this item in the New York Post that reported on how a 49-year-old man is suing Donald Trump and producer Mark Burnett for not seriously considering him as a candidate for The Apprentice. Donald may be 60, but lordy, good television ratings apparently are not the stuff of older apprentices. It’s called age [...]

If you thought there was too much violence on TV, then we suggest you start watching the Tyra Banks Show. Instead of covering the big issues like Iraq or the Bush administration’s penchant for secrecy, Tyra spends girl time with American Idol singer Katherine McPhee discussing her big issues, namely, are her breasts real or [...]

Collectors are a strange breed. They feverishly travel the world looking for the objects of their affection as if not finding them would put an end to their life. What a collector collects, though, probably has deep roots in a childhood incident of shame or ecstasy. Sit back and watch this compilation tribute to legs, [...]

There’s a quiet gold rush in progress. You don’t have to pack your bags and head West, though. All you need to do is invest in a digital video camera and own a decent computer. Oh, and you’ll also need some writing and editorial skills. Then just upload and wait for the world to watch [...]

It’s always nice to read about famous Hollywood stars lending a helping hand to those in need. I mean really, are there big movie stars out there who wouldn’t help somebody up that stumbled on the sidewalk? Naomi Campbell not included (she’s only a supermodel…or is that former supermodel).
KYRA Sedgwick’s fame hasn’t gone to her [...]

Twenty Good Years
This high-energy, young-at-heart comedy follows the journey of two New Yorkers who come to the realization that life doesn’t last forever.
Mismatched buddies John Mason (Emmy Award winner John Lithgow, “3rd Rock from the Sun”), an impulsive, admittedly self-absorbed, thrice-divorced surgeon recently forced into retirement, and Jeffrey Pyne (Critically acclaimed multi Emmy-nominee Jeffrey Tambor, [...]

Actress Nicole Kidman was so inspired by her grandmother that she is allegedly developing a “singing competition” that might appeal to an older audience. You gotta love the fact that her agent swears it “isn’t geared toward senior citizens.” Why not? With the younger generation fleeing to new media, doesn’t it make sense to develop [...]

ISRAEL, 2005, 85 minutes
After closing the border to Palestinian workers, Israeli authorities sought to fill gaps in the job market by encouraging emigrant workers from other parts of the world. Among those who answered the call were Filipinos in various stages of gender transition. These individuals who see themselves in a female [...]

How you consume your news is becoming a problem for most TV and cable news shows. The younger generation has zero desire to tune in at 6pm every night to listen to some scripted version of what happend hours ago. Why bother?
Online you can check numerous sources for various takes on the story, as [...]

Six hunks. One Women. Ivana’s Choice. A two-hour special about women getting exactly what they want.
That’s the come on for Ivana Trump’s new reality show on Oxygen. The pitch is a little misleading though, because Ivana’s job is to help a woman pick a man out of the six hunks. I wouldn’t exactly describe Donald [...]

The Discovery Channel is running a commercial to advertise their Haunted Tuesday night programming. It’s billed as “Not for the Faint Hearted.” The pun on faint hearted is taken literally in the commercial where we see an older white-haired woman watching TV alone in a creepy mansion. She’s so terrified that she grabs her chest [...]

The brain dead over E! Entertainment have set their sights on getting into the rapidly growing viral video market. They have even given it a name: Cybersmack.
One of their videos includes this loser. It’s called Geriatric Idol and features a cast of senior citizens presented in an awful manner.
