UNHAPPY GILMORE -- If
gross box office receipts and national reviews are to be believed, Adam
Sandler’s “That’s My Boy” may well be the worst movie of all time. In fact, it’s so rotten, industry analysts are
predicting that Sandler may never be
allowed to produce another film. He may
have to revive his “Wedding Singer” character – not the movie, in real life
just to get by.
PEANUTS
AND CRACKERJACK -- The San Francisco Giants once awe-inspiring starter Tim
Lincecum is currently
languishing in one of the worst pitching slumps in recent MLB history.
The '08 and '09 Cy Young winner has gone 3 and 8 with a dismal 6.19 ERA. Tim's not superstitious, but the signs are
there. Last time he was sent to the showers, he
glanced down and noticed his non-skid bathmat had Jerry Sandusky's name
embossed on it.
CATCH AND
RELEASE -- Fish and Game officials in Chatham, Massachusetts have detected
transmitter signals on several Great White sharks they tagged last summer.
Extensive GPS data collected show that, since last year the tagged sharks returned
to the northern coast of Australia, found mates, and attended the American Bar
Association Convention in New Orleans.
CARDIO
FOR $300 ALEC -- Longtime “Jeopardy” host Alec Trebek was rushed to
Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles with symptoms of a mild heart attack. Took the docs about three hours to admit him,
having to put all their questions in the form of an answer.
ALL
RIGHTY THEN -- Longing for the halcyon days of “Ace Ventura,” “The Mask,” and
“Dumb & Dumber,” Jim Carrey has put his five-bedroom Malibu Colony mansion up for sale
at $13.9 million. He’s finding out that
paying a household staff of thirty-eight takes more than just being able to do
a dead-on impression of a Hollywood movie star able to churn out hit-after-hit.
DOWN MEMORY'S DIAMOND LANE
OUCH -- It's June, 1979 and here Bob Hope and I are comparing war wounds —
actually, our reaction to the myriad shots we had to get before
departing for the Orient. In 1979, China required inoculations against
everything from chicken pox to restless leg syndrome so we all reported
to a doctor in Hollywood who gave us a group rate. I just wish he
hadn’t used the same needle. Today, no shots are required to visit China. I guess we’ve
gotten healthier.
