Grammer 'Feeling Great' After Hospital

Kelsey Grammer is returning home after being hospitalized in New York.


The 53-year-old actor, who suffered a heart attack in June, had checked himself into an undisclosed hospital the last weekend in July as a precaution when he felt faint.


Grammer is now "out of the hospital, feeling great and about to resume normal activities at home," his publicist Stan Rosenfield said in a statement Tuesday. "He and his wife Camille want to thank everyone who expressed concern."





Rosenfield said last week that it was possible Grammer's medication led to his symptoms. Grammer had been in town to promote his new film, "Swing Vote," co-starring Kevin Costner, Paula Patton and Stanley Tucci.


Two months ago, the former "Cheers" and "Frasier" star suffered a mild heart attack in Hawaii, where he lives, while paddle-boating with his wife.

'Friends' big screen adaptation planned

July 2, 2008 () - Friends Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry are set to reprise their roles for a big screen adaptation of the multiple Emmy Award winning television sitcom that ran from September 1994 to May 2004.

The film, to be produced by Warner Bros, has been inspired by the recent success of Sex And The City.

In the past, Jennifer Aniston hasn't been enthused by attempts to bring the Friends stars together again. However, the $300 million box office collections of Sex And The City have made her more amenable to the idea now.

The success of Sex And The City exceeds pre-release expectations and made Warner Bros sit up to the idea of more such movie adaptations of TV hits. Friends tops the list of programs they identified for movie treatment, not only because of its popularity but also because its six lead stars continue to be active in showbiz.

SAG to respond to producers' deal Thursday

'Last, best and final offer' made last week





SAG has made a date with the studios on Thursday to respond to the $250 million last, best and final offer it received more than a week ago.


The decision by the union to with the studio's negotiating arm, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, at 2 p.m. Thursday comes a day after SAG ran ads in the trades with the message "Let's Keep Talking."


In a statement, SAG continued its mantra, indicating that the "national negotiating committee remains dedicated to achieving a fair TV/theatrical contract for SAG members as soon as possible. The SAG national negotiating committee anticipates an equal effort and commitment by the employers and their representatives to achieve this goal."


The AMPTP made its final offer to SAG on June 30, just hours before the actors' union contract expired. The offer ended formal negotiations between the two groups.


Both sides did meet last Wednesday for a question and answer session on the offer.


The AMPTP said SAG indicated it needed more time to prepare a response to the offer.


"The producers remain hopeful that SAG will accept our final offer," the AMPTP stated.


SAG's members have been working on an expired since June 30. Its sister union, AFTRA, is expected to announce results of its new primetime/TV contract later today or early tomorrow.

Oates' Stache -- Hall of a Weapon!

With any luck, John Oates won't ever play second banana to Daryl Hall again -- but he'll have to lose his boom-chicka-boom-boom moustache in the process.

Well, sort of: Primary Wave, the publisher that owns most of the Hall & Oates catalog is shopping around a cartoon called "J-Stache" in which John's upper-lip hair is used as a weapon to fell such evil stache-wearing villains as Tom Selleck and David Crosby. (If you're sensing irony in all this, you win!)

John Oates doesn't think the plan is hair-brained at all. In fact, he loves it: "Just as I'm represented as the John Oates of today, the mustache is the John Oates of yesterday."

The tender balladry offsets the hard-edged, politically one-sided lyrics of Silvio Rodriguez. A spearhead of the nueva trova (new lay) manner of nueva cancion (new song), Rodriguez masterfully blends amorous tunes with protestation material condemning colonisation and the stalinism that swept through Latin America in the late '60s and early '70s. Inspired by French chanson, Rodriguez recorded his debut album in 1976. Although his early albums showcased his solo acoustic guitar playing and silklike vocals, Rodriguez progressively incorporated the musical accompaniment of electric instrumentation. His 1992 record album, Silvio marked his first all-acoustic album in 14 geezerhood. On his album, Causas y Azares, Rodriguez was accompanied by the heavily rhythmical sounds of Afro-Cuban jazz.
