I'd like you to meet your best friend
4 hours ago | blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news »
It was the opening day of the Disney-mgm studios in Orlando. The stars were there with their children. There was an official luncheon at the Brown Derby, modeled after the legendary Hollywood eatery. I was beside myself. I was in a booth sitting next to Jack Brickhouse, the voice of the Chicago Cubs. A man walked over and introduced himself. "Bob Elliott." Oh. My. God. Bob, of Bob and Ray.
For me he was the biggest star in the room. Who, after all, compared to even one half of Bob and Ray, was Tom Hanks? Whoopi Goldberg? Art Linkletter? "Gosh all whillikers, Mr. Science!" I said, "What's that long brown object???" Bob didn't miss a beat: "That's known as a board, Roger."
Another man was steaming toward us through the throng. A middle-aged man, well-dressed, tanned, with a pleasant smile. "Hi, Jack!" he said. "Say, I hear Ernie Banks is invited. »

Hogan's Marriage 'Unravelled' Before TV Show
12 November 2009 4:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Hulk Hogan refuses to believe his marriage breakdown was caused by his reality TV show, insisting he and his ex Linda were already on the path to divorce.
A camera crew began following the Hogan family around in 2005 for U.S. reality show Hogan Knows Best, which was cancelled in 2007 - the same year the star split from his wife of 20 years.
But the 56 year old doesn't think their break-up was caused by the series, insisting, "It was the total opposite. It was like my marriage was already unravelled."
The wrestling legend admits he still struggles to accept Linda is now living with her 20-year-old lover, who's younger than his daughter Brooke.
He adds, "It's real turbulent and I don't talk to her at all and, you know, it's just like it's tough because... she's got her own gym and she lives in California and she's with her young boyfriend and the hardest thing was just trying to talk to her when this kid that she's in love with used to go to the same school with my children. Trying to rationalise to Brooke and (son) Nick that, hey man, you gotta love your Mom no matter what happens." »
Hulk Hogan Reveals Suicidal Thoughts: "I Emotionally Lost It"

He may wear a boa and make his living (kinda sorta) beating people up, but Hulk Hogan is a sensitive man. During his drama-filled divorce from Linda, he reached such a low point, he was downright suicidal. "I actually believed in my heart that oath you make, 'til death do us part, for better or worse," he explains to E!'s Daily 10. "I actually believed everybody was on that page. It blew my mind, never been hit that hard." One night, he "emotionally lost it," he says, and even pulled out a gun. Out of nowhere, the phone rang. It was his friend and American Gladiators cohost Laila Ali, and she pulled him from the abyss. "She goes, 'You left, you were so... »

WWE Planning Old West Undertaker Origin Movie
4 November 2009 8:50 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
We’ve seen a lot of origin stories in the past few years – Wolverine just came out this summer, Magneto may or may not be happening, there is always Superman and of course Batman’s origin has been told several times. Heck, The Hobbit can even be considered an origin story. Ghost Rider was unfortunately given an origin movie that dated back to the old west. I’m a huge fan of Tremors and the 4th movie went back to the old west as well, for an origin story about the subterranean monster worm.
So I understand why studios and copyright holders want to make origin movies on comic book characters and even monsters, but I cannot for the life of me figure out this latest news coming from “wrastlin” news site Lords of Pain. WWE, in a bid to capitalize on one of their brands, is in the process »

Hulk Hogan shakes up TV wrestling with move to Tna
30 October 2009 12:30 PM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
I try to cover professional wrestling here on TV Squad only when something happens that hints at a ratings spike, a celebrity tie-in or a television publicity war. Today, we have news that could score a pin on all three fronts, "Brother!"
Hulk Hogan (in yellow, right), the 80s legend that put WWF WWE on the mat map, announced this week that he's returning to the squared circle and joining the ranks of Spike TV's Tna Wrestling. It's a big step up in exposure for the Florida-based promotion as it struggles to pull away a little market share away from Vince McMahon's Connecticut Death Grip.
While the WWE has either live or taped shows on various cable outlets Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights (with occasional weekend specials on NBC), Tna has used the last couple of years to build an ever-growing following in Spike's Thursday night schedule. »

Check Jimmy Palmiotti off your list of comics creators still looking for a Halloween costume. According his tweets, he's got his Comedian outfit from "Watchmen" all taken care of—even if he's still working on growing out his mustache.
Meanwhile, Jim Lee sketched a costume last night that you won't see him draw too often, and he posted an image in his feed. There are a few other Twitter pics you should check out as well today, as the webcomics crew from Transmission X seems to have set up an exhibit in Portugal featuring some mighty fine decorations. Unfortunately, there are no pics to accompany Rob Liefeld's announcement that he'll be getting "Lakers stuff" shaved into his head to kick off the new NBA season.
Plenty more awaits you after the jump in the Twitter Report for October 28, 2009.

Hogan: 'Laila Ali Saved Me From Suicide'
27 October 2009 12:01 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan credits boxer Laila Ali with saving him from taking his own life after she called him to check up on her pal.
The sporting legend, real name Terry Bollea, confesses in his new book that he was on the verge of suicide when his 20-year marriage to Linda Bollea broke down in 2007 and his son Nick was hospitalised following a serious car accident
Hogan hit rock bottom when he found himself downing prescription drugs and reaching for a gun.
In My Life Outside The Ring, he writes, "There were times when I thought that a whole bottle of pills would go down easy... Then I noticed the gun in my hand. I was careless with it... I kept my finger pressed right to that trigger and if I moved that finger an inch in the right direction I would have blown my brains out."
But it was a caring phone call from Ali, his then co-host on U.S. reality show American Gladiators, which convinced him not to go through with his suicide bid.
During an appearance on America's Today show on Tuesday, he recalled, "All of a sudden the phone rang. And it was Laila, and she said, ‘Hey, what’s going on? You’re on the set. You’re all depressed. We’re worried about you. You going to be Ok?’
"She called with no agenda, just to say hi and check on me... It snapped me out of it. At that moment I switched gears. I got sick and tired of being sick and tired. Her voice saved my life, it really did."
But Hogan insists he's now in a much better and healthier place in his life.
He adds, "I just want people to know, life is good... I'm happier than I've ever been." »
