[ LAT ] Mel and Co. go Hollywood by Mary McNamara
At Thursday's opening night of "The Producers," it was hard to believe that this was Los Angeles. Oh, certain things were familiar. Hollywood Boulevard was closed; there was a red carpet; there were fabulous beaded, backless gowns; and, of course, there were celebrities � Tim Allen, Alec Baldwin, Goldie Hawn, Cloris Leachman to name a few.
So it was a tiny bit like the Oscars, only smaller. And, as one publicist put it, everyone was wearing his or her own clothes.

Happy birthday, Bob Hope! Humanitarian, comedian, film and TV star, and, of course, Broadway star... has there ever been anyone quite like him? He's certainly one of the funniest entertainers of my lifetime, and, whether we saw him in concert, in a movie, on TV, or--for the lucky and long-lived among us--on Broadway, I'm sure we all have a favorite joke or performance of his. (Though he no longer performs in public, he's still got It--his family reports he recently told them, "I'm so old, they've cancelled my blood type.") I think it's also important to remember the great work Hope has done for this country in entertaining its troops overseas during more wars than I can count, and he has been justly recognized for it; the footage showed on the news of Congress naming him an honorary U.S. veteran was one of the most moving things I've ever seen. He was visibly touched, as well, and how could he not be? Being recognized for his service by a body he respects so much is something unlikely to happen to most of us. To top it off, Congress gave him a full standing ovation--how often do they agree on anything?
Hope is a great person who has contributed a great amount to the world of entertainment and the world in general. Here are a few more links to celebrate him on his birthday, with hopes he'll be around for many more. Thanks for the memories!
