Cat Deeley will be the sideline reporter.

The proposed Maine Coon team is a potential controversy.

If you go to the Marky Sparky Doinkit Ball page, you'll see the toy described as being like a Snowflake on Steroids™. Now that's brilliant marketing! I'm ordering two.

I caught Gung Ho not long ago on cable. Never a particularly good movie, by any measure, it really does not hold up over time. It was tough to watch in 2014.

It is currently in their on demand section.

After Newsies, of course.

Which denied him any chance at an interview.

I guess I'm missing something. Isn't the issue separating the art from the artist? So a notion of excusing behavior really isn't part of it. Right?

Here's my take. It is a great movie. The guy who directed it is a piece of shit. Voila!

Yeah. But this guy seems like a horrible person and his music sucks.

Oh, yeah. I remember you. Awesome!

Remember when PR used to be about up-and-coming designers and the design process? I vaguely do.

Always loved Breaking Away. My top Stern movie, though, is Diner. That is a movie that will always be in my personal top 10.

I was underwhelmed by the first episode of Manhattan, but the next two really made a positive impression.

I never gave Williams much thought at first, kind of being put off by the whole Mork from Ork thing. But I remember being blown away by The World According to Garp.

What I embrace most from that is the idea of our celebrity-centric culture as a shared, bonding experience that somewhat explains the culture to me. On the back of that, the idea that the death of someone collectively known…

I think he was a talented guy. He impressed me sometimes. One Hour Photo, for example. But the idea that the world is now deprived of some spectacular, enormous greatness rings hollow to me. I honestly believe most of this simply goes back to our celebrity worship culture. I think people are trying mightily to…

Maybe I will someday experience what you experience. I kind of doubt it, because I feel like I know myself pretty well. But, we'll see.

Not the point, Dorek. It was suggested that the reaction to Williams's death was fueled by the perception that "he had his shit together" and "if it happened to him, it could happen to anyone." And that wasn't really the case with Williams. It was pretty well known that he had struggled with addiction and had an…

Well, . . I don't know about all of that. Did Williams seem like he had his shit together? I think his issues of depression and past drug abuse were documented. So I don't really think that is it. But I do agree that celebrity culture plays a powerful role in American life. That is really what I am trying to…
