Pauley Perrette Becomes TV's Most Popular Actor/Actress

Actress Pauley Perrette, who plays the quirky punk rock oriented character, Abby Sciuto, on the smash hit CBS crime drama NCIS, is now the popular most TV actor/actress according to Q Scores. She even tops other lead cast members such as Mark Harmon (#4) on the show, making her true money in the bank for the show. Brazilian actress Cote de Pablo, also from NCIS, came in as second most popular in the latest survey. British actor David McCallum(former 1960's MAN FROM U.N.C.L. E. heartthrob) is #5 and Michael Weatherly # 7 , are both also from NCIS as well.

One notable non-NCIS actor to make the list was Jim Parson #3 from THE BIG BANG THEORY, which will likely take over the top spot as the most popular CBS comedy this upcoming season. Parson's "Sheldon" character is a true audience favorite and absolutely hilarious. It's certainly the greatest character that Parsons has ever played during his aspiring acting career.

ABC did manage to get at least one good spot in the top 10 list, as CASTLE actor Nathan Fillion came in at #6 on the Q Score list.

Pauley Perrette has an interesting life story. She was born in New Orleans, yet lived all throughout the South, acquiring a criminal justice degree along the way. Yet, her background in law enforcement has proven valuable to role as Abby in NCIS. She's the crime lab scientist and computer programming expert, who's a quirky genius. She even put up $10,000 of her own money to help solve a case featured on AMERICA'S MOST WANTED that she found very troubling.

Pauley Perrette is also known for being far and away one of the nicest actors on TV by far. In true Pauley Perrette niceness fashion, she immediately thanked her fans so much for naming her the top actor on Primetime TV on Twitter. "Just found out I was voted #1 most popular star of primetime TV? Um. Thanks guys So honored and humbled. I love my job & you".,she Tweeted. - Well, we can't think of anyone much nicer to be so honored, Pauley. You're the best!

Time Warner CEO Claims That Free Internet Porn Is Hurting The Company's Financial State

Time Warner CEO, Glenn Britt, had a rather eye opening bit of business news to share, or more exactly that free porn on the Internet is hurting Time Warner financially, competing with their paid video on demand services. A WALL STREET JOURNAL piece also said about the same - Who wants to pay Time Warner $9.98 to watch some quaint sex romp HD title when you can always watch enough good stuff just surfing for free on the net to get your jolly fix. Some websites even post free legal downloads of some video titles, only undercutting other paid adult dvd or video services as well.

Britt's statements also suggest that porn is now a mainstream form of entertainment where huge corporations such as Time Warner and major hotel chains that sell pay-per-view want to make obscene profits from sexually explicit entertainment. That's a far different business environment than some pro-censorship Washington do-gooders like to paint. They like to paint a phony image of adult entertainment purveyors as a bunch of dirty old criminal degenerates, instead of recognizing that Time Warner and many other mainstream NYSE white collar professional business types are in the business.

While mainstream business types are now some pf the largest purveyors of porn, politicians in Washington lag far behind the times socially, many of which are continuously calling for stricter censorship of free speech and more government crackdowns on porn. But, there is a huge public demand and market for sexually explicit entertainment, and Time warner recognizes that fact and wants a big chunk of that market. But, many in Washington aren't very amused at this. Washington just doesn't like the fact that millions of Americans probably unwind after a hard day of work with a good dirty movie. That fact seems to just break their ass.

"Mr. Bean" Crashes $1 Million Dollar Car

British comic actor, Rowan Atkinson, who is best known for his bumbling "Mr. Bean" character has been hospitalized with some minor injuries after surviving a crash involving his $1 million dollar McLaren F1 sports car in England Thursday evening. Apparently the actor hit lamppost and a tree before the uber-expensive supercar caught fire. The actor was released from the hospital on Friday afternoon, suffering from a shoulder injury, but appears to be otherwise fine and he should fully recover quickly.

Yet, the questions remains: Who in heck lets Mr. Bean drive a $1 million dollar super fast car anyway?

Major League WTF?: The Bizarre World Of Courtney Stodden

In all of the weird stories in pop news history, few come much stranger than the weird tale of Courtney Stodden, an aspiring singer who looks about 40, but is really only 16 according to her birth certificate. Some entertainment sites seriously questioned that she was really 16, because she looks much older than that.But, searches revealed the shocking truth that she is really telling the truth and she's not pulling off a crazy hoax, when her real birth certificate was made public. Also very strange, is her recent bizarre marriage to 51 year old actor Doug Hutchison from LOST, the recently canceled ABC drama.

The fact of the matter is that Courtney Stodden is actually well under the age to legally buy beer, or even cigarettes for that matter, yet looks more than a decade older than her real age. And she could only be married with the consent of her mother because she is so young, marrying the actor 35 years her senior. What a weird story this is. Even a TWILIGHT ZONE episode couldn't be as creepy and weird as all of this is. Weird! Weird! Weird!

Big Time Sissyass Stuff: Oregon Democratic Party Fundraiser Calls donors Telling Them They're Being Arrested On Drug Charges

An outrageous fundraiser working for the Democratic Party of Oregon has been making outrageous fund-raising calls to donors telling them that they're going to arrested on drug charges as a sick joke. The latest outrageous conduct is about to be as expected when organizations don't do background checks on who they hire or set down hard and fast rules about professional conduct.

The unfunny joke is also backfiring as well, as at least one donor asked to be permanently removed from their phone call list as a result of the outrageous phony threatening phone call.

Rather than concentrating on improving the economy or running the country well, the Democratic Party has recently been focused on huge fund-raising efforts at all levels, local and national. While the latest Gallup Poll has President Obama trailing a generic GOP candidate by eight points, his re-election campaign has raised more than $80 million so far, easily besting GOP front-runner Mitt Romney's $29 million by comparison. The Democrats hope to counter a weak presidency and weak political leadership with huge ad blitz campaigns, which hardly seems like a suitable substitute for better political leadership to begin with.

Fantagraphics Will Publish THE COMPLETE ZAP COMIX

Big news from the world of comix and art is that Fantagraphics will publish THE COMPLETE ZAP COMIX, a beautiful two volume set reprint of all 16 issues of ZAP COMIX, that very influential underground comix series that ran from 1968-2005. It was mostly a vehicle for the terrific art of R. Crumb as well as Gilbert Sheldon and others. But, it was the ground-breaking social satire art of R. Crumb that really set up ZAP COMIX as a true legend. The one page image of his KEEP ON TRUCKIN' from issue #1 became such a legend that Toyota once offered the artist $100,000 to use the image for part of an advertising campaign.

Interestingly, that KEEP ON TRUCKIN' one page cartoon became so popular that it was ripped off by for numerous unlicensed products such as t-shirts, posters, bumper stickers and other items. R. Crumb never received royalties for hardly any of these images, and was even pursued by the IRS who thought that he was making huge royalties from the images, and once asked the artist for thousands in back taxes for the image. The overwhelming popularity of ZAP COMIX made R. Crumb into a widely respected artist, although he wasn't very skillful at learning how to profit from his works such as licensing the images. Crumb did officially license his FRITZ THE CAT character for a 1972, but then had some huge disagreements about how the film was made and demanded that his name be removed from the film. The film was made for $850,00 and grossed $190 million, becoming a huge success for the very first animated film ever with an X-rating. R. Crumb wrote a comic in which he killed of FRITZ, hoping to end that character, yet a 1974 sequel to the film, THE NINE LIVES OF FRITZ THE CAT was made. It was R-rated and was only a moderate success compared to the 1972 film.

R. Crumb was also known as a musician as well, recording several albums with his 1920's sounding string band, The Cheap Suit Serenaders. Some of these recordings were on the defunct 78rpm format. R.Crumb provided the album art for the recordings.

If anything, R. Crumb was forever temperamental and odd, but those personality quirks have helped to make the artist a legend where the upcoming collection of his ZAP COMIX works by Fantagraphics should really be something great to behold. The original artwork will be produced on high quality paper slightly larger than the original artwork, making the two book set a beautiful library volume to own and love.

ZAP COMIX contained some of the most influential artwork that characterized the underground hippie artwork era of the late 60's. The sheer popularity of those images have made those images of Mr. Natural, the KEEP ON TRUCKIN' panel and other images from those comix a great part of Americana. The new two book set by Fantagrahics is a great tribute to a great artist, R. Crumb.

In the past, Fantagraphics has published wonderful tribute hard bound, slipcover editions of great classic comix such as LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE and PRINCE VALIANT. The Fantagraphics editions may not come too cheap. But, compared to an original copy of ZAP #1 in perfect condition, valued at over $10,000, the Fantagraphics edition looks dirt cheap by comparison.

Strangely, although ZAP only lasted for just 16 issues, one issue was numbered #0. It was based on some drawings before the 1967 art of issue #1. So #0 was published as the third issue of ZAP, although the material actually predates the first issue. It is only another strange little quirk about this incredible collection of cartoons. And by spelling comics as comix, ZAP probably also helped to reshape the language of comics as well. What a wonderful collection of great art.

Major League WTF?: Catholic School Hires White Supremacist For Principal

No, it's not a new NBC comedy! But, for the last two years, Frank Borzellieri has served as principal at Our Lady Of Mount Carmel, a Bronx Catholic school despite an active career as a White supremacist author, linked to several controversial groups. Despite concerns of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a legal organization that has successfully sued some White supremacist's for civil rights violations, the Catholic Archdiocese has remained clueless about their choice of principal for a school with a large Black and Hispanic population. Apparently, using a computer for a little Google background check involves technology that this church has not yet embraced. It was only after an angry man was arrested who disrupted a Catholic mass to protest Borzellieri that this church got a clue that something might be seriously wrong with their choice of school principal.

Certainly, the religious school is cvery bit concerned that Borzellieri's views are far outside of church teachings. But, with their great track record of terrific background checks that have only allowed numerous sex criminals into church leadership positions, it's only about to be expected that a few others with outrageous backgrounds like Borzellieri can find their way into positions of authority with the church as well.

The latest embarrassment for the church is so funny that NBC should seriously consider making a weekly comedy about it. I think that WHITE SUPREMACIST CATHOLIC SCHOOL PRINCIPAL has hit written all over it. You think? - Sort of a twisted version of SAVED BY THE BELL, or something?
