On the first day of shooting “Home Improvement” in April 1991, Pamela Anderson emerged from her dressing room on the Walt Disney Studios lot and found series star Tim Allen loitering in the hallway in a bathrobe. This seemed normal to the 23-year-old budding actress, but it wasn’t. “He opened his robe and flashed me quickly — completely naked underneath,” Anderson writes in her soon-to-be-released memoir, “Love, Pamela.” “He said it was only fair, because he had seen me naked. Now we’re even.” “I laughed uncomfortably,” she writes.

Monterey Park’s Asian diaspora adopts new rite: Mourning after gun violence
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 MONTEREY PARK, Calif. - At makeshift memorials, bowls of oranges and incense sticks waft sweet smells into the air, assuring the soul's smooth journey into the next life in accordance with Buddhist tradition. Mourners gather for prayer meetings at local churches, seeking peace and consolation. One victim's family asked for rosaries and Masses in their honor. As this community known as the "first suburban Chinatown" begins to mourn the 11 people killed when a gunman burst into a dance studio as Lunar New Year celebrations were starting, they are pulling from traditions old and new to adapt to a uniquely American ritual: mourning after a mass killing. What for many in the Asian diaspora is typically a private period of reflection is now public as photos of victims are displayed, officials like Vice President Harris arrive with bouquets of flowers, and city leaders convene vigils to … [Read more...] about Monterey Park’s Asian diaspora adopts new rite: Mourning after gun violence
Jimmy Kimmel on What He Remembers From the First Night of His Talk Show 20 Years Ago: ‘I Was Totally Unprepared’
Click here to read the full article. The odds that “ Jimmy Kimmel Live” would still be here, 20 years after its launch on Jan. 26, 2003, were astronomically low. The network hadn’t done a traditional late-night talk show since the short-lived “Into the Night With Rick Dees” (hosted, coincidentally, by another Los Angeles radio veteran) in 1991, and the time slot’s previous inhabitant, “Politically Incorrect,” had been canceled due to declining ratings — and controversy over 9/11-related comments host Bill Maher had made. Those early reviews were rough ( including Variety , which lamented that “ABC is stuck with a show designed by a network that’s not quite ready for cable”) and the show struggled in its early months to book guests. And soon, Kimmel’s biggest backer at the network, then-ABC chairman Lloyd Braun, was out the door.

A Son of Two Nations, Stoically Searching for His Father
The title of "The Beautiful Country," an earnestly humane film by the Norwegian director Hans Petter Moland, refers both to Vietnam, where the story begins, and to the United States, where it concludes. Stuart Dryburgh's cinematography testifies to the truth of the description in both cases, beautifully capturing the humid, verdant landscape of the Vietnamese countryside and the dry, craggy plains of west Texas, as well as the bustle of Hanoi and Manhattan. The hero, Binh (Damien Nguyen), belongs to both countries, and therefore to neither. The son of a Vietnamese woman and an American G.I., he lives as a pariah in postwar Vietnam, performing menial labor and enduring the contempt of the relatives who grudgingly allow him to live with them. The year is 1990, midway between the fall of Saigon and the present day, and Binh, like a cast-off stepchild in a Grimm fairy tale, sets off to find his way in the world. In the city, he finds his mother, Mai (Chau Thi Kim Xuan), who works as a … [Read more...] about A Son of Two Nations, Stoically Searching for His Father
