Editor’s note: This marks the 27th anniversary of “In Tune With June!” Were you ever a fan of the TV sitcom “Cheers”? That was the bar where “Everybody knew your name.” It was a top-draw series and it was where you were introduced to a young Kelsey Grammer. He was such a hit that a …
As you may have heard, Prince William and Kate Middleton have announced that they will live a married royal life without the use of servants. Ha! I wonder if they ever watch the BBC period dramas: in the past “Upstairs, Downstairs” and this generation’s “Downtown Abbey.” Its themes are the daily drama of a titled …
Now that the “Merrys” and the “Happys” are over, do you feel the need to chill out? I prefer to laugh, sing, dance, and find a retreat, an oasis to shed negative thoughts and “let it all hang out.” I’m going to share the place I found to do just that. It’s only available Monday …
There’s an upscale restaurant in New York City where you can sing (and I did!), dance (and Ruth Preminger and I did!), dine on fine food (yes, we did!), laugh a lot and receive special attention by the owners, the chef, and the waiters. Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? And it is. Tuesday is the very …
You probably would know to whom I was referring if I said that he is an American screen writer, director, actor, comedian, jazz musician, author, and playwright.

“They” have arrived in TNA and in a “we should have known” moment Hollywood Hogan and Eric Bischoff turned heel by taking over fictional control of TNA from TNA President Dixie Carter. The former NWO leaders have formed a union with Jeff Jarrett, Abyss, Ric Flair, Fortune, and the newly heel Jeff Hardy. It is …
There’s a lady most of us know who has posed for her own 2011 calendar. No, she’s not a model. Here’s a hint: she’s an American actress who has won six Emmy Awards plus has had at least 20 nominations. The last hint is that she is the oldest person to guest-host “Saturday Night Live.” …
It was a Monday night in Maryland and I was visiting my daughter Jolie when I witnessed a television phenomenon. It reminded me of the ancient television days when friends and neighbors gathered in one home to sit in front of a television set to watch “The Milton Berle Show.” Three generations of otherwise bright …
The sun’s out, the birds are singing, it’s the lazy, crazy, hazy days of summer and I know a fine place for relaxing surrounded by great art. The place? I don’t think you’d guess. It’s the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s roof garden. The garden offers unparalleled views of the Manhattan skyline and the unsurpassed Central …
We had tickets to a matinee. The show was “Sondheim on Sondheim,” a show worthy of braving the Holland Tunnel. Fortunately, we decided to leave for the theater early in case of a bottleneck. After parking (not inexpensive) we wended our way to the Roundabout Theater at Studio 54 – that’s Broadway and 8th Avenue. …
