...understands what Keanu Reeves, Benicio del Toro and other actors who ascended the stage of the San Diego Convention Center's cavernous Hall H do not: Comic-Con is itself a performance. Jackman leaped off the stage, ran across the floor to shake the hand of Wolverine's creator and thanked the crowd of 6,500, saying, "Without you guys, I wouldn't have a career." That's the special blend of humility and showmanship you can only learn by hosting the Tonys three years...
...Vamp/human affairs became a hot topic of discussion at the True Blood panel.

(In a new episode, Don instructs his grade-school-age daughter how to mix a Tom Collins for guests...
...waves of teenage fans, although it makes for pretty luscious ironies. ''We've got to the stage where we end the night by destroying everything,'' Pete Townshend said in 1967, ''which is expensive.'' At their zenith in 1977, the Sex Pistols peevishly canceled a Saturday Night Live appearance. SNL creator Lorne Michaels, who has himself made a lucrative career out of counterculturalism, complained, ''It's very strange that a group that prides itself on representing the underground turns us down because we can't pay them enough.'' Punk, essentially a working-class British genre, never went fully mainstream in happy...
