According to a recent report from the people over at Soap Opera Digest, former "Married With Children" Bud Bundy star, David Faustino (left), is headed for the "Young And The Restless" set to cause some pretty big problems for someone in particular that's very powerful. David's character is a TV producer that goes by the name of Howard Green. Howard Green is described as the one behind Genoa City's Gc Buzz. Howard's production company produces the local tabloid, so it's expected that his character is going to ruffle the feathers of a powerful Genoa City resident. It sounds like David's Howard Green character will just be a guest spot. He's set to show up in the Tuesday, September 27th, 2016 episode.

Words like “legend” and “icon” get tossed around a lot in Hollywood, but the people who built the Walt Disney company, creating timeless films and beloved theme park attractions, earned those titles long ago. The studio holds its own “Legends” ceremony every year, but so does a group of dedicated enthusiasts known as the Disneyana Fan Club, and last weekend they honored three worthy recipients at their annual convention in Anaheim, California: Howard Green, Bruce Reitherman, and Tony Baxter. If their names aren’t of the household variety, the work they’ve done certainly is. I must disclose that Howard and Tony are good friends of mine, so I won’t pretend to be objective in writing...

She was Walt Diney’s most popular cast member of The Mickey Mouse Club and starred, often opposite Frankie Avalon, in a wildly successful series of beach party movies for American International in the early 1960′s. In 1992 she announced that she suffers from multiple sclerosis. In 1993, she opened the Annette Funicello Fund for Neurological Disorders at the California Community Foundation. Now Annette Funicello has dies from the disease at age 70.
From The Los Angeles Times:
Annette Funicello, the dark-haired darling of TV’s “The Mickey Mouse Club” in the 1950s who further cemented her status as a pop-culture icon in the ’60s by teaming with Frankie Avalon in a popular series of “beach” movies, died Monday. She was 70.
Funicello, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987 and became a spokeswoman for treatment of the chronic, often-debilitating disease of the central nervous system, died at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, Walt Disney Co.

I really don't put much stock in the International Animated Film Society's 2013 Annie Awards, which is why I didn't rush to report on their results on Saturday. One year Disney and Pixar boycott the event, feeling there was an unfair advantage paid to larger contributing sponsors, DreamWorks being the primary example. So with such a nasty stench over the event what good does it do to pay it much mind? That said, I'll be brief in mentioning Wreck-It Ralph topped Saturday night's winners with five awards, including Best Animated Picture. The awards have something like a 75% streak when it comes to helping predict the eventual Oscar winner for Best Animated Feature and as the days have gone on, it's looking more and more like Ralph will be this year's winner (see my predictions here). Pixar's Brave, Laika's ParaNorman and DreamWorks' Rise of the Guardians each took home two awards in lesser,...

I love the art of animation, and it's amazing to see how far things have come and advanced over the years. The industry is changing in terms of technology, but what it all really comes down to is telling good stories. There's been a lot of great animated movies this year, and many of them are up for several awards at the 40th Annual Annie Awards.
Some of the movies nomainated include Brave, Frankenweenie, Hotel Transylvania, ParaNorman, Rise of the Guardians, The Pirates! Band of Misfits, and Wreck-It Ralph. Out of those films my favorite is a toss up between Wreck-It Ralph and ParaNorman, those were two pretty incredible films. I think ParaNorman has the edge though.
Some of the other animated properties nominated are Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1, Disney Tron: Uprising, Justice League: Doom, Robot Chicken ‘DC Comics Special', South Park ‘Raising the Bar’, and several others.
