Lewis keeps Labor Day telethon in Las Vegas
Jerry Lewis' annual Labor Day telethon to fight muscular dystrophy, which aired from Las Vegas last year, will return this year.
The broadcast, which benefits the Muscular Dystrophy Association, will air Sept. 2-3 from the South Point hotel-casino south of the Las Vegas Strip, organizers said Wednesday.
Lewis moved the telethon out of its longtime home in Los Angeles last year, saying it had been overshadowed by other productions there.
‘“Back in Vegas!' is my mantra these days,” Lewis, 81, said in a statement. “It's great to have this super production telecast from my hometown.”
The 2006 telecast raised a record $61 million, bringing the total raised by the telethon to $1.4 billion since 1966. The show features Lewis, his “kids” and celebrities.
This year's show, to air on 190 television stations nationwide, will be produced by KTNV-TV Channel 13, an ABC affiliate, in Las Vegas.
Walsh announces engagement, spinoff
Kate Walsh has plenty of reasons to celebrate this week.
ABC announced that she'll star in a “Grey's Anatomy” spinoff in the fall, and the 39-year-old actress told Us Weekly magazine Tuesday that she's engaged.
“It happened a few days ago,” Walsh said of her engagement to Alex Young, a studio executive. “I'm on cloud nine.”
“Private Practice” takes her “Grey's Anatomy” character, Dr. Addison Shepherd, from Seattle and moves her to Los Angeles. There she reconnects with a friend whose medical practice needs an obstetrician - and with the friend's former husband and business partner.
Associated Press reveals Nicole Smith diary pages
“Don't Read!! Personall,” warns the diary's inside cover. But its author, Anna Nicole Smith, has no hold in death on the remnants of her life.
The public now can discover that she was delighted by rough sex, ecstatic over the prospect of plastic surgery for her breasts, and fearful of a jealous boyfriend. She was careless with spelling, punctuation, and, too often, with her own well-being.
Complaining about her then-lover's carousing, Smith writes that she'll break it off with him if he doesn't stop. Then she amends her stand, according to new diary excerpts released exclusively to The Associated Press.
“We discussed it and he said he wouldn't go out and get drunk no more unless it was with me,” Smith wrote in the diaries, which span about a year from early 1991 to 1992.
On an evening out a few weeks later with the same man (identified only by first name), Smith wrote that she got drunk and “asked a guy for his number.”
