They’re Baaack! Old Favorites Returning to Primetime

Who knew a single zip code could help pay the bills for so many unemployed actors? CW’s new version of the classic teen hit “Beverly Hills, 90210,” is turning out to be quite a savior for some otherwise washed up primetime stars. Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling, who both appeared on the original show, have signed on to resurrect their characters of Kelly Taylor (who has grown up and become a high school guidance counselor at her alma mater West Beverly High School) and Donna Martin respectively. Now word has it that Joe E. Tata, a.k.a. Peach Pit owner Nat … Continue reading →

How much would you pay for an autographed photo of Lucille Ball with some teeth blackened out or a money clip from Jack Benny?

I’ve said it before and I will say it again—-I am continually shocked by how much people are willing to shell out for pop culture memorabilia. Yet another auction record was broken last week when a cyborg skeleton from “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” brought in nearly $500,000 during a sale of Hollywood memorabilia. According to auction officials, the T-800 Endoskeleton used in the 1991 film brought in $488,750. Meanwhile, a full-scale tyrannosaurus rex head from “Jurassic Park” was the second priciest item of the day, raking in a cool $126,500. Other “Terminator” props brought in five and six digit figures … Continue reading →
