...will it feel like football? The average heartland football diehard doesn't really go for the thin-and-neat turtlenecked wisecracking type, with jokes they don't really get and don't really care to. Miller's "SNL"/HBO shtick won't get him too far in this booth. But if he's a real fan, the viewers might warm...
With the ratio of bad to good Saturday Night Live movies hovering at about 6 to 1, can you blame MIKE MYERS for practicing a little quality control? The comedian claims he tried to delay production of Dieter, a movie based on his fey, monkey-toting German SNL character, because the script, his own, wasn't funny. Not satisfied with that explanation, Universal Pictures last week sued Myers for $5 million, claiming that he actually pulled out of the movie during a May 30 meeting, after the studio had already laid out millions in production costs and made Dieter...
Though the show's ratings have perked since a time-slot change, it's still uncertain for renewal, as is Roswell (Monday, 9 p.m. E.T.), which just last fall was riding high on a 22-episode commitment.

(Few series do pauses better than Roswell, thanks largely to Jason Behr, who plays alien Max like a junior Duchovny...
...employees from writing an expose of what really happens behind the scenes at the Oprah Winfrey show. Ironic, of course, since Oprah championed free speech when she was sued by those Texas cattle ranchers a couple of years back... Everyone's buzzing about this Saturday's SNL that'll spoof Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Elton John -- and there's a nasty little rumor that Celine Dion might come out of retirement for one last show... Who will play Spiderman? Director Sam Raimi is casting the picture for Columbia and rumors suggest that either Leo DiCaprio, Heath Ledger or Jude...
What a difference a few years make. In the mid-1980s, a group of five "performers" attempted to do their best rendition of the Jackson Five's smash hit "Whatever you got, I want." But while the Jackson Five made a cameo on SNL during the seventies, this group, known as the "Keating Five" made a cameo in S&L--the savings and loan scandal. Yes, only about 10 years ago John McCain was brought before the Senate Disciplinary Committee for his role in the "Keating Five" scandal. McCain accepted about $112,000 from convicted white-collar felon Charles Keating...
