The Emmy nominations for 2009 were announced this morning and the biggest surprise of all was the inclusion of the Fox animated series, “Family Guy”–a show that’s known for keeping the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on their toes with their raunchy jokes and has been cancelled twice. Even more surprising, the show about the dysfunctional…

There’s been one of what will likely be many memorials, that had locals grumbling about the cost to the state of California. But if today’s any indicator, the news on Michael Jackson continues, as sister…

What do the Beatles, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Whitney Houston all have in common? Ken Mansfield. A former record executive who raced through the ’60s and ’70s on big expense accounts and marijuana-scented tour buses, Mansfield worked for them all–as manager, friend, record producer and, when it had all gone bust on him, road…
