...Biggie was notorious, James is nice. An oversize comic in the mold of Fatty Arbuckle, Jackie Leonard, Buddy Hackett, Rodney Dangerfield and Jackie Gleason, James is different in not using his weight as an excuse for high-pressure comedy - a giant tea kettle ready to blow its top. The star of TV's The King of Queens, he's a Ralph Kramden without anger issues. In Paul Blart, as in I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (where he starred with Adam Sandler, this film's executive producer), James gets laughs by underreacting to the humiliations the world heaps...

Should managers be kinder and gentler? You bet, says author Christine Porath, assistant...
DIED. RODNEY DANGERFIELD, 82, stand-up comic whose old-fashioned style of one-liners thrived in an era of hip young satirists; of complications following heart surgery; in Los Angeles. After struggling as a Catskills comic, using the stage name Jack Roy, he left the business for 12 years and sold aluminum siding. But he made a comeback in his 40s, with a new name (suggested by a club owner) and a new catchphrase, "I don't get no respect."
