TV Dads: The quiz
How much do you know about TV Dads? You can test your knowledge by taking AOL’s TV Dad’s Quiz. I did, and here’s how I fared.
First of all, I found it to be a well-rounded quiz spanning many decades. It was fun revisiting some of the old shows, like My Two Dads and Little House on the Prairie, even My Three Sons. I think my favorite question was the one about the pipe smoking dad; it wasn’t just a fact about the Dad (who will remain a mystery until you take the quiz — no spoilers here!), like his job, but instead a fun reminder of a character quirk.
It wasn’t a challenging quiz; the ones I got wrong were because I didn’t watch the shows. However, there could be some trick questions in there, so think carefully before you choose your answer. I only got half of the questions right, so it seems I should be watching a bit more TV.
How about you? What was your score?
Beyonce Brightens Up Movies Rock
Beyonce Brightens Up Movies Rock
She’s been an “Austin Powers” girl on screen, and contributed “Independent Women Part 1″ to the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack. Beyonce Knowles knows a thing or two about music and movies.
The “Bootylicious” girl showed up on the red carpet at the Kodak Theater last night for the CBS Movies Rock event. And she looked stunning.
Knowles wore a floor-length green gown that accentuated her curves, while maintaining a level of decency. Her flat-ironed hairdo was the perfect compliment to her ensemble.
Inside, Beyonce performed “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” in a yellow, black, and white dress that beckoned the garb of decades past.

Kate Winslet Works On “The Reader”
Kate Winslet Works On “The Reader”
Kate Winslet was all smiles as she made her way out of Teleg Airport and into an awaiting car in Berlin over the weekend.
Signing autographs for gathered fans along the way, the Titanic beauty will be staying in Germany for the filming of her new movie, “The Reader”.
A plot synopsis of her latest project tells: “In postwar Germany, a young man’s decades-long obsession with an older woman runs headlong into a war crimes trial, where he learns an awful truth.”
The film is set for a December 12, 2008 release date in North America, with debuts in Europe spread over the following month.
Christopher Lee Would Return As Saruman For The Hobbit
He may be 86 years old but he still has six movies on the way and could be adding another one (or two). Christopher Lee spoke to Empire about Saruman returning for The Hobbit prequels. Although Saruman doesnt appear in the book, there is the second film which Del Toro and Jackson will be writing to bridge the gap between The Hobbit and the first Lord of the Rings movie.
“I’ve read the books time and again,” said the 86-year-old. “Originally Saruman The White and the rest of the wizards, or the Istari as they call them, were immortal. There were five of them, two of them never appear, I know their names but they never appear, and the only three that are mentioned are Saruman The White, Gandalf The Grey and Radagast The Brown who you never see – so basically it’s two wizards.
“They lived for thousands of years and they were sent to the earth and they are virtually immortal. When it all started, Saruman was the noblest, the finest, the bravest, the most dependable and reliable of them all, he was number one. But somewhere, somehow, and it was never actually explained, he turns and it’s probably the Palantír (the wizard’s crystal ball thingy) that makes Saruman realise that if Sauron can do this, why can’t I do it and Saruman wants to become The Lord Of The Rings himself.”
“I’d be interested in seeing how that transition from good to evil occurred and, yes, of course I would return to the role if I was asked.”
You can tell Lee has read the trilogy every year for the past five decades can’t you?
I suppose it would be quite cool to see Saruman’s decent into darkness. What do you think?
