...Buchanan as a nuisance -- Marlin Fitzwater noted last week that the White House "already had one Buchanan," in 1857 -- Administration officials privately admit that the ultraconservative columnist's entry in the primary race could force Bush to play more to the political right to avoid being outflanked by the co-star of the nightly CNN debatefest Crossfire. Buchanan's candidacy could make the Republican primary interesting -- even if only briefly. And his pesky debating style might be just what some senior Republicans say is needed to help get a passive and complacent Bush back into fighting trim...
...sudden death of raunchy raconteur Redd Foxx during a rehearsal for his new TV series, The Royal Family, deprived America of one of its most popular comedians -- and may have cheated CBS of a hit. Foxx's much-anticipated return to TV, opposite co-star Della Reese, was producing respectable ratings for the network in a long-lagging Wednesday-night time slot. CBS has only three more episodes featuring Foxx. While replacing him will be difficult, since the show was tailor-made for Foxx, the network hopes to keep the series alive. One possibility: a new male lead, perhaps...
...profile of Simpson and Bruckheimer is not flattering, but hardly devastating. Although portrayed as busybodies on the set (Top Gun director Tony Scott recounts how they pressured him to make co-star Kelly McGillis look less "whorish"), their main sin is fuzzy-minded self-importance. After calling themselves a "right brain-left brain" team, they trade sappy compliments. Simpson on Bruckheimer: "He is uncommonly smart ((and has)) the ability to hold the entire equation of moviemaking in his mind at one time." Bruckheimer on Simpson: "Don is very intelligent . . . He's a real big- picture guy." Uh-huh. Which...
...code: 90210). Ratings, after a slow start, have grown steadily; the show draws more teenage viewers than any of its Thursday-night rivals (including top-rated Cheers) and, in some recent weeks, more teens than any other show on TV. Stars Shannen Doherty and Jason Priestley, along with co-star Luke Perry, have become teen fanzine favorites. Fox is so pleased that it has ordered 30 new episodes for the upcoming season (compared with the usual 22 or 24), and began airing them last week, a full two months before most of the network fall premieres...
...failure of Iraq's vaunted Republican Guard to mount a serious counterattack, and the Pentagon's success at using its unprecedented control over press coverage to win public acceptance of the war. Omissions of that kind seem all the more glaring in a book written by a co-star of the Post's legendary Watergate investigation...
