David Soul, who starred alongside Paul Michael Glaser on the 1970s’ ABC buddy cop show Starsky and Hutch and had a No. 1 hit with the song “Don’t Give Up on Us,” has died. He was 80.
Soul died Thursday after “a valiant battle for life in the loving company of family,” his wife, Helen Snell, said in a statement.
“He shared many extraordinary gifts in the world as actor, singer, storyteller, creative artist and dear friend,” she said. “His smile, laughter and passion for life will be remembered by the many whose lives he has touched.”
Soul also appeared for two seasons on the 1968-70 ABC show Here Come the Brides, played one of the corrupt young motorcycle cops brought down by Clint Eastwood’s Harry Callahan in the thriller Magnum Force (1973) and stood out as a terrified vampire hunter in the 1979 Stephen King CBS miniseries Salem’s Lot.

Susan Tolsky, the comic character actress who sparkled as the winsome Biddie Cloom on Here Come the Brides and as the shy secretary Bernadette Van Gilder on Madame’s Place, has died. She was 79.
Tolsky died Oct. 9 of natural causes at her Toluca Lake home in Los Angeles, her sister, Noel Foreman, told The Hollywood Reporter.
Tolsky also portrayed the secretary of a high school football coach (Rock Hudson) bedding students in Roger Vadim’s Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971) and was a regular performer on The New Bill Cosby Show, a 1972-73 CBS variety program produced by Laugh-In legend George Schlatter.
Onscreen, she often wore big, round eyeglasses and used a voice she described in a 1969 TV Guide interview as “a chicken with a hernia.”
“I realized a long time ago that men don’t look at me and pant and go crazy,...

Robert Brown, who starred alongside David Soul and Bobby Sherman by portraying the oldest of the three logging Bolt brothers on the 1968-70 ABC series Here Come the Brides, has died. He was 95.
Brown died Sept. 19 at his home in Ojai, his friend Kiki Bremont told The Hollywood Reporter.
Brown appeared twice on Broadway and guest-starred as alternating versions of a dilithium-lusting character named Lazarus on the 1967 Star Trek episode “The Alternative Factor.” He got that gig when John Drew Barrymore failed to show up on the morning of the shoot.
In 1968, Brown was on the other end of a last-minute replacement situation. All set to star as Det. Steve McGarrett on the original Hawaii Five-0, he was replaced by Jack Lord five days before filming on the pilot began after producer Leonard Freeman had a change of heart about his leading man.

Bridget Hanley, star of the late ’60s TV western Here Come The Brides, died Wednesday. The 80-year-old actress had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and was living at the Motion Picture and Television Fund Wasserman Campus in Woodland Hills, according to the local paper in Edmunds, Washington, where she grew up.
Hanley played the female lead, Candy Pruitt, on ABC’s Brides from 1968-1970. Her character was the love interest of Jeremy Bolt — teen heartthrob Bobby Sherman. Bolt’s brother on the show was played by David Soul, who would soon find fame on Starsky & Hutch. The show was loosely based on Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
The actress married E. W. Swackhamer, Jr. a producer and director on Here Come the Brides, in 1969. They were together until he died in 1994.
Hanley worked throughout the ’70s and ’80s on some of the biggest shows on TV, mostly in guest-starring roles.

Decades before deep-pocketed rock and pop stars embraced the Gulfstream V, there was the Starship, a former United Airlines Boeing 720 refurbished in the early 1970s by teen heartthrob Bobby Sherman and his manager, Ward Sylvester, as an airborne pleasure dome. The plane plied the skies in the service of, among others, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, The Allman Brothers, The Bee Gees, Elton John, Peter Frampton and Alice Cooper. One of the great artifacts of the coke-flecked, halter-topped, 'lude-dropping rock 'n' roll gestalt of the '70s — and probable inspiration for Austin Powers'

The history of cinema has had many long-running actor/director partnerships. What first springs to my mind is the long collaboration between actor John Wayne and director John Ford, which has inspired several film books and documentaries. More recently we’ve had the Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro team-ups ( although Leonardo DiCaprio may just catch up to Mr. D ). And now we have the eighth film that actor Johnny Depp has done with director Tim Burton since they first paired all the way back in 1990 for Edward Scissorhands ( Wow! ). After films based on children’s books, a low-budget filmmaker’s life, and a Broadway musical what have the duo decided to tackle now? Why, it’s a classic cult TV show from the late 1960′s : Dark Shadows. What’s their take on this supernatural soap opera?.

Many of the early Star Trek novels, especially a few of the 1970s Bantam line, where generally written by fans of Tos. Authors like Sandra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath were huge proponents of the Kirk and Spock relationship, and more so it seemed a lot of the time, just Spock himself. Many of those Bantam titles and the early ones by Simon and Schuster’s Pocket Book line after Star Trek: The Motion Picture, were heavily Kirk, Spock and McCoy centric and a good percentage were written by women.
Which was not bad, just a rather interesting statistic. Back in 1985, author Barbara Hambly released her first Star Trek novel, Ishmael. And for the last 26 years, it has sat in either a bookshelf or in a box, unread. When I started collecting the Star Trek novels back in the 1980s, I had a lot of good intentions of reading them.

As the great Lionel Hutz once said: “I don’t use the word ‘hero’ very often. But you…are the greatest hero…in American history.” I pass this quote along to you, drunk dude who broke into a restaurant at 1 am to make wings: A St. Cloud, Minnesota man is in jail after breaking into a restaurant to satisfy his drunk craving for boneless chicken wings. …21-year-old Cory Mogen broke into a restaurant on the 100 block of 7th Ave. S. around 1:25 a.m. Friday. Responding officers found Mogen trying to fry some boneless chicken wings. He had also thrown marinara sauce on the wall. Mogen was given a breathalyzer, registering a .220 Bac. He was booked into the Stearns County Jail, awaiting charges of third-degree burglary. Who among us drunk walker-homers has honestly not dreamed of doing Exactly That at some point in our drinking careers? Hell, breaking into a...

It was announced this week that 16 year old pop star Justin Bieber will be writing a memoir about his life and will star in a 3D movie about himself. Enjoy it while you can, kid. It's too soon to tell whether he will be a star when he becomes an adult, but the odds are against him. For every Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake, Drew Barrymore, and Jodie Foster, who were able to achieve stardom throughout their lives, there are hundreds of child and teen stars who fizzled out-David Cassidy, Shaun Cassidy, Bobby Sherman, Debbie Gibson, Leif Garrett, Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block, Aaron Carter, Bay City Rollers, Hanson, Fabian, Menudo, Macaulay Culkin, Corey Haim, Dustin Diamond,...

Recently dismissed "American Idol" contestant Tim Urban became a household name for lots of reasons: His infectious positive energy in the face of nasty criticism, his Bobby Sherman hairdo and, of course, there was his hilariously awesome slide across the stage.
Sure, Simon called Tim's performance "completely and utterly pointless and silly," but you gotta hand it to Teflon Tim. He created a water cooler moment in a season that has been almost devoid of morning-after chatter.
When Tim stopped by to speak with MTV News about his recent "Idol" elimination, I had to get a lesson on how to perfect "The Slide."
Teacher Tim broke it down for me in three easy steps.
» Slide on the back of your leg muscle and your butt. As Tim says, "It's got a little bit of a cushion." (Don't fret, non-athletic types: I mentioned that I have nary a muscle on my entire body,...

Ah blinky clock noise, how I've missed you. And thank you for that real-time note for the new people. New people are always so dumb and slow, they couldn't possibly make sense out of the hours passing one by one.
NYC makes its 24 setting debut with a creepy guy in a hoodie, aka shooting target. Never wear hoodies, people, they only identify you as a creepy bad guy. Also, drug houses are not safe. Welcome to New York! Hoodie guy walks up to an apartment and discovers his predictably dead friend in the shower, although I was expecting a chainsaw victim, so kudos on that tricky move. Hoodie creep immediately telephones the requisite scared chick who says "What the hell is happening?" over another dead guy at her end. Could it be ... some sort of plot? A shooter aims at hoodie guy again; it's the wrong one though,...
