Forget Kowalski’s white Challenger, forget Steve McQueen’s Porsche 917K, forget Burt Reynolds’ Trans Am. There’s one movie car that really matters to the twentysomething car enthusiast, and I’m driving a nearly perfect example at full boost up a winding road. After less than ten minutes, my passenger is tired of me rapid-firing quotes at her: “I owe you a ten-second...

Filed under: Celebrities The actress Farrah Fawcett passed away today at the age of 62 from cancer. She was known for many roles in her long acting career, but historians of popular culture will remember her most as a private investigator on the 1970s TV show Charlie's Angels and the pinup girl who posed for a poster that sold 12 million copies and made this actress an icon of sexuality. But automotive...

Although hardly a pillar of the automotive industry, Farrah Fawcett posed with enough gaudy 70s Corvettes to make her a noted "car girl" of sorts. Her role opposite Burt Reynolds in The Cannonball Run helped too. And who can forget this 1975 commercial for the Mercury Cougar? They don't make them like that anymore.

It seems as if most eras have their pinup girls and in the mid-'70s, that title undoubtedly belonged to Farrah Fawcett (who had a hyphen Majors on the end of her name at the time). Fawcett lost her battle with cancer today at 62. The famous poster at the left sold a mind-boggling 8 million copies and led to her most famous role. Skyrocketing to superstardom as one of the original of Charlie's Angels...

MYSTERY, ALASKA (1999) Reviewed by Jerry Saravia RATING: Three stars and a half Sports movies are not my favorite genre, though I have admired movies like "Rocky," "Raging Bull," "Tin Cup" and "Hoosiers," to name a few. "Mystery, Alaska" focuses on ice hockey, which is hardly a sport I can stand watching (and I am partly Canadian), yet it won me over....

So it's late in the evening and I've stopped switching channels on the TV. The Twilight Zone is on and I figure there can't be anything more entertaining to watch at this hour of the night. Suddenly, I daze off and dream of aliens and creatures only Rod Serling could thing of. I'm forced to face my own demons and made to wonder about the possibilities. As I awake I marvel at how relevant these 1960's...

Beset with insomnia, I started rifling through the DVDs. I opted for " The Longest Yard ," the 1974 classic with Burt Reynolds, hungry for some football before we get into the long dry spell of the offseason. Classic. Unfortunately, the old ADHD was riding high that night too, so I jumped on the internet (source of ADHD') and started looking for a good list of football movies. And this is...

While the event sometimes resembled Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise on Johnny Carson (ask your parents) than a fantasy experts' roundtable, we did address some good pitching issues that could help you. Go to RotoExperts Think Tank to hear it. I enter about 15 minutes into the hour-long show.

Yes, he knows where the doughnut shops are. No, he won't tell you to drive on the wrong side of the road. And, yes, by the end of a long motorway trip you'll never want to watch The Simpsons ever again. Homer Simpson is the latest in TomTom's range of celebrity voices that includes John Cleese, Mr T and Burt Reynolds (but not yet Stephen Hawking). That's 'fun' as in 'painfully annoying' According...
