The first that I heard of Frank Henenlotter was on a perfectly awful cable tv show that aired on Manhattan's Public Access channel in the 1970s.
"The Nikki Haskell Show" was a self-indulgent half-hour cable show hosted by Haskell, a wealthy socialite-divorcee and former stockbroker who now claims that her show marked the invention of "reality television." About a year ago, after her diet pill company got in trouble with the NFL over a "secret ingredient" that should have been labeled, Haskell signed up for an account at YouTube and started posting clips from the 30-year-old program, but she seems to have lost interest after posting just ten of them.
The main reason I'd tune in Haskell's silly show was the programming that followed it, "adults only" programming like Screw magazine publisher Al Goldstein's "Midnight Blue," porn performer Robin Bird's "Hot Legs" show featuring New York's leading "dance talent" and,...

The "Project Runway" dispute will remain in state court.
A district court judge ruled Tuesday that the case surrounding the future of the hit reality show will be tried New York State Supreme Court. In October, Lifetime had asked that the case be moved to federal court.
The network was not named as a defendant in the original breach-of-contract suit, filed by NBC Universal against "Project Runway" producer the Weinstein Co. in April when the latter made a surprise announcement that it was moving its hit show from NBC Uni's Bravo to Lifetime.
Richard Sullivan, judge for the U.S. District Court, Southern District, of New York, wrote in Tuesday's ruling that Lifetime "first sought to intervene in the state court action" in July.
"Lifetime chose to delay its intervention in the state court action for strategic considerations," Sullivan wrote. "While Lifetime was perfectly entitled to adopt a strategy of...
