Duckman - DVD Date Announced for Duckman - Seasons 1 and 2!!!
Get this classic animated series at last this September!!!
Early this past January we had great news for Duckman fans, passing along a report that CBS DVD's Executive VP and General Manager Ken Ross had gotten his group together to "wrap our brains around figuring a way" to begin releasing the classic adult-targeted animated series on DVD at long last, sometime in 2008.
A couple of days later we were able to bring you confirmation, direct from show creator Everett Peck, that "...it's true! My agent and I have been working closely with CBS to get this to happen. It looks like initial release will be seasons one and two. There will be some value added material but I'm not quite sure how that will shape up at this point."
The Duckman - Seasons 1 and 2 DVD set has been announced this morning for release on September 16th. This will be 22 episodes (13 for the first season, and another nine for the second) being presented on disc in full screen video, and with English Stereo Surround audio. Unfortunately, no other information was available with this morning's quick heads-up announcement. Stay tuned, though, and we'll hopefully be back in the not-too-distant future with more details, including extras and cover art!
Jessica Simpson Country Song Hits Radio
The first fruit of Jessica Simpson's upcoming country album has hit the airwaves. "Come on Over" was serviced digitally yesterday (May 27) to country radio and was spun 21 times on Broadcast Data Systems-monitored stations.
Against acoustic guitar strums and a driving rhythm, the track finds Simpson pleading with a love interest to drop everything and pay her a visit. "Leave your coat behind the door / leave your laundry on the floor / just come on over," she sings.
Simpson's as-yet-untitled album is expected in early fall via Columbia Nashville, according to her spokesperson.
"I am a country girl," she told Billboard late last year in her first interview about the project. "I grew up in Texas, and country music was what I listened to. I always wanted to make a country album, but I wanted to wait until the time was right."
"I think there is a strength in female country artists," she added, citing Martina McBride, Shania Twain, Faith Hill and Reba McEntire as some of her inspirations.
Dinner with Pamela Anderson for highest charity bid
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - How much would you pay to have dinner with Pamela Anderson?
The former "Baywatch" star is offering herself as a dinner guest to the highest bidder at an auction in Abu Dhabi on Saturday for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Anderson, 40, will be flying out to Abu Dhabi as the big attraction at the fund-raiser. The United Arab Emirates branch of the international foundation is hoping to make the wishes of 39 terminally ill children come true.
"We are planning to have a lot of fun and make a lot of money for the cause," the Canadian-born actress said in a statement on Wednesday.
