A Partridge Family reunion? C'mon, get happy!
4 September 2009 12:07 PM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
The Partridge Family was one of those cheesy 1970s sitcoms that was horribly predictable, sugary-sweet, and much of the plot revolved around David Cassidy's fluffy hair. And yet, I loved it, right down to the sappy song they played at the end of every episode.
If you, too, are a closet fan of The Partridge Family, here's your chance to catch a mini-reunion of the singing family. David Cassidy plays David Gallagher on the ABC Family show Ruby & The Rockits. Shirley Jones -- who played his mom on The Partridge Family -- will once again play that role on Ruby.
Ok, here's where things get complicated. In real life, Jones is Cassidy's stepmother. She's also mom to his co-star and brother Patrick Cassidy, who plays Patrick Gallagher on Ruby. Meanwhile, David's brother Shaun Cassidy serves as executive producer, and brother Ryan is the show's set decorator.

Hefner Scraps Jones' Playboy Shoot
9 August 2009 3:56 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Playboy boss Hugh Hefner has scrapped plans to feature 75-year-old TV star Shirley Jones in his raunchy adult magazine - because the actress "wouldn't show enough" skin.
The former Partridge Family star's husband/manager Marty Ingels revealed in May he was pushing for his wife to disrobe in a tasteful pictorial.
But Jones admits her Playboy dreams were dashed because she refused to pose nude.
She tells the National Enquirer, "My children and friends said, 'Shirley, are you crazy? You're going to pose nude?' I replied, 'No, I'm not going to pose naked, but I am going to show the best parts of my body.' In the end, Hef (Hefner) didn't run it because I wouldn't show enough. But I had a great time and the pictures were fabulous." »

DVD: Coraline, Hotel, Watchmen

Try to imagine this DVD release roundup in 3-D for maximum enjoyment.
What's new on DVD Tuesday? We'll bookend this roundup with the two best releases. Links to add them to your queues provided because I'm sweet and helpful like that.
Coraline - I loved the use of 3D in Coraline so I'm wondering how it will transfer to the flatter world of home entertainment: Will that tunnel into Other Mother be as beckoning? Would the transformative acrobatic sister act pay off quite so well? Even if they won't, the film's imaginative visuals and fun character play will pull you into its rewarding tale of a bored little girl suddenly fighting for her soul and her parent's lives in a fantasy world that's not quite like her own. Coraline's journey is often compared to Alice's trip through the looking glass or down the rabbit hole. Miyazaki's Spirited Away was also described that way. »

23 June 2009 3:12 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Benjamin Bratt is looking forward to do some 'cleaning up' tonight when the second season of "The Cleaner" premieres on A&E. From sweeping the streets from any kind of addicts to assisting high profile individuals to do a recovery, Bratt's character William Banks will face one of his toughest challenges in the season opener.
In "Hello America", an old friend Michelle Durham seeks William's help to get her high-profile national news anchor husband Davis, clean. But the news anchor is a national spokesperson for recovery, so William has to be especially discrete in his methods. And the news anchor's wife has an illness that forces William to confront his own personal problems.
Michelle is portrayed by Jayne Brook while Davis is played by Gary Cole. But they are not the sole attractions for this season. The show brings back Whoopi Goldberg as William's sponsor for three episodes and lines up other prominent actors. »

"The Insider" headed to The Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles Monday night to watch as Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Martin Short, Christina Applegate and other stars performed Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors." The stars also opened up about their reaction to Farrah Fawcett's courageous documentary "Farrah's Story". "It's our 19th year of doing this," Rita Wilson says about the event. "It's an incredible event because we get actors sometimes who have never done Shakespeare before to get up on stage." "We love Shakespeare, it is our roots," Tom Hanks adds. "Shakespeare Festival Los Angeles -- that's La's Shakespeare company and we do anything we can in order to promote, and in order to get some people out there and raise some dough."

Veteran actress Shirley Jones' husband is pushing the star to pose nude for Playboy at the age of 75.
The former Partridge Family star has been married to her manager, Marty Ingels, for the last 31 years.
And he's hoping Jones will strip off for Hugh Hefner's raunchy magazine and send a message that beauty is not dependent on age.
He tells the New York Post, "She's still drop-dead gorgeous, and at the age of 75, a natural beauty. I'm her husband, and I think it would be sensational. Mature women are relevant." »
