Millions
have seen the YouTube video of "Christian the Lion"
reuniting in Africa with the two young men who bought him from
the Harrod’s department store in London in 1969. They kept
him for over a year until he became too big to handle and he was
released into the wild in Africa. A year after that, the two tried
to see if they could track down Christian once again. Remarkably,
they found him, it was videotaped, and the lion approached them
slowly at first. Christian then rushes toward them and affectionately
"hugs" them — provoking tears from nearly everyone
who views the video on YouTube. Now, Sony Pictures will bring
the story of Christian and the two men, John Rendall and Anthony
"Ace" Bourke, to the big screen, buying the rights of
their 1972 book, "A Lion Called Christian." To see this
remarkable and touching video, CLICK

A large and intimate collection of items that belonged to Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe has been discovered over 46 years after her tragic death. The memorabilia - including personal notes, photographs, financial documents, furs, jewelry and perfume - were packed up in the immediate aftermath of Marilyn’s death from an overdose in 1962. The items were recovered from her Los Angeles home by her former business manager Inez Melson. “Vanity Fair” magazine will tell the story in its October edition, which features a photo of Marilyn on the cover. |
| Microsoft
launched its latest television marketing campaign featuring Jerry
Seinfeld during Thursday night's NFL season opener on NBC, but
viewers were left scratching their heads trying to figure out
what it was supposed to be all about. The minute-long commercial
featured Seinfeld encountering Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates trying
on shoes at a discount shoe outlet at a mall (at one point the
billionaire displays his discount card) and giving Gates advice
about his selection. There is no mention of Windows and hardly
a mention of computers. In fact, the commercial appears to advertise
... nothing. |
Talk
show host, David Letterman says his jokes about presidential contender
John McCain being too old are "not entirely fair" and
“an easy laugh.” He says comedians have had a tougher
time cracking jokes about McCain's Democratic rival, Barack Obama.
David points out -- "I don't think comics have a way to get
in there," he said. "There's nothing automatically that
you can go to." Meanwhile, he says he’d love to have
his rival Jay Leno on his show as soon as he leaves NBC’s
Tonight show next year. Letterman can’t believe the network’s
letting him go. |
Many Americans may want to know more about Sarah Palin, the new Republican Vice President candidate, but not Oprah Winfrey. She says she’s not interested in having the governor of Alaska on her show. Oprah is a Barack Obama supporter, but she says that’s not the reason –because he won’t be on her talk show either. Oprah made the comments after reports circulated that there was a battle among her and her staff over having Palin on. She says there hasn’t been any discussions nor will there be any. Any appearances by any of the candidates will have to come after the election. |

It was just announced that Tobey Maguire will be back to playing Spider-Man in the fourth big-screen installment — and director Sam Raimi will return to direct yet another expensive movie. The news ends more than a year of hemming and hawing, denials, reversals and unconfirmed speculation. There is still no deal in place for Kirsten Dunst, who played Peter Parker's love interest, Mary-Jane Watson, or for an actor to play the main villain. It may be Dylan Baker in a return of his character, Dr. Curt Connors, who becomes the super villain Lizard. In the comics version of Spiderman, he suffers an adverse reaction to a serum designed to re-grow his missing limb. The movie is not scheduled to hit theaters until May, 2011. |
Producers
of NBC’s long-running hit medical drama, ER, have confirmed
Anthony Edwards, who played Dr. Mark Greene, will be returning to
the TV show for a guest appearance. Edwards, one of the original
stars, was written out in 2002 when his character died from a brain
tumor. So, howx will this take place?? It’s believed Anthony’s
appearance will be contained within flashback sequences. Another
original cast member, Noah Wyle, will also return to star in four
episodes of this final season. There is now speculation that George
Clooney will surprise everyone and return as well to the show that
made him famous. |

 BACK FROM THE BAYOU |
| Know as the "Ragin Cajun," Doug Kershaw, one of America’s great fiddle players, has been keeping audiences entertained at the Riverside Resort in Laughlin for quite some time. He returns to Don's Celebrity Theatre tonight and tomorrow at 8pm with the Cajun spice that only he can deliver live. See story below. |
Kershaw made his first network television appearance on the premier of the "Johnny Cash Show" in the 1960's. The performance turned millions of people on to his talents. Among them were execs with Warner Brothers Records, with whom he signed a long-term recording contract. Kershaw's many recordings have been steady sellers and not only with country audiences, but also spanning all categories. Songs such as "Diggy Diggy Lo," "Cajun Joe," and "Rita Put Your Black Shoes On," are familiar tunes to Doug Kershaw fans. However,none of his works reached the fame of his 1961 autobiographical recording of one of the many songs he wrote, "Louisiana Man." The song is considered to have immortalized his family and sold millions of copies over the years. In fact, "Louisiana Man" was the first song ever broadcast back to earth from the moon by the Apollo 12 lunar mission in 1969.
Meanwhile, Kershaw takes his Cajun heritage very seriously. Often, he sings in French, with the lyrics and melodies learned during his childhood. He loves to perform and makes his concerts fun and enjoyable for his audience with no plans to retire. He is also very personable and remembers his fans, often making himself available after a performance to talk to them -- especially in the familar territory of the Riverside Resort where he returns every year.
On a personal note, Doug and Pam Kershaw were married on June 21, 1975 at the Houston Astrodome. They were married before an Astros game and Doug gave a concert after the game ended. He and Pam have five sons -- Douglas, Victor, Zachary, Tyler and Elijah, along with two grandsons. Following in Doug's musical footsteps, his son Tyler is often the band's drummer and all of his sons are musically inclined.
Currently, Kershaw is busy writing his autobiography and he continues to record new albums. He finally recorded one in French called, "Two Step Fever." He also has a live album that was recorded live at Lake of the Torches Casino in Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin, on November 11, 2000.
Kershaw takes the stage tonight at 8pm in Don's Celebrity Theatre at the Riverside Resort. Tickets are $26 (two-for-one tickets for locals with ID) and can be purchased at the entertainment ticket office or call 702-298-2535 ext 616.
