I disliked this movie because it was unfunny, predictable and inane. [1]

– Convicted DC sniper Lee Boyd Malvo tells actor William Shatner on a cable TV special that he and his partner tried to recruit fellow shooters for their 2002 spree and that his accomplice killed one man for backing out, according to the program set for airing Thursday. [1]

The one-hour “Confessions of the DC Sniper with William Shatner: An Aftermath Special” premieres at 10 p.m. [2]

Convicted DC sniper Lee Boyd Malvo tells actor William Shatner on a cable TV special that he and his partner tried to recruit fellow shooters for their 2002 spree and that his accomplice killed one man for backing out, according to the program set for airing Thursday. [3]

The one-hour “Confessions of the DC Sniper with William Shatner: An Aftermath Special” is a promotional piece to an upcoming Shatner series on the BIO channel. [4]

In a telephone call from a southwest Virginia prison, Malvo told Shatner two men planned to join in the attacks to make them more deadly but reneged. [1]

In September 2003, Muhammad was sentenced to death. [5]

John Allen Muhammad (December 31, 1960 ‘ November 10, 2009) was a spree killer from the United States. [6]

One month later, Malvo was sentenced to six consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole. [5]

In the TV interview, Malvo initially denies his psychiatrist’s claims that he and Muhammad had co-conspirators. [2]

Malvo said his fellow shooter, John Allen Muhammad, killed one of the men in retaliation. [4]

Ten people were killed and three others critically injured in various locations throughout the Washington Metropolitan Area and along Interstate 95 in Virginia. [5]

Muhammad and Malvo were arrested in connection with the attacks on October 24, 2002, following tips from alert citizens. [6]

In a telephone call from a southwest Virginia prison, Malvo told Shatner two men planned to help with the killings but reneged. [7]

Malvo’s statements have been inconsistent in the past, and authorities have cast doubt on some of his reported confessions since he was sentenced to life in prison. [...] The psychiatrist, Neil Blumberg, who worked with Malvo before his trial, also said Malvo had confessed to more shootings in addition to the spree that terrorized the Washington region in 2002, when 13 people were hit and 10 of them died.

Rodney Dangerfield (November 22, 1921 ‘ October 5, 2004), born Jacob Cohen, was an American comedian, and actor, known for the catchphrases “I don’t get no respect” or “I get no respect” and his monologues on that theme. [1]

During his comeback in the 1960s, he took the name Rodney Dangerfield when it was suggested by a New Jersey club manager… Dangerfield’s films were mostly comedies, but he took a serious role as a sadistic father in the 1994 Oliver Stone film Natural Born Killers. [2]

Mini-bio: Rodney Dangerfield was born in Babylon New York in 1921. [3]

RODNEY DANGERFIELD — Rodney “No Respect” Dangerfield began his career at the age of 15 when he started writing jokes. [4]

The boy who would one day be Rodney Dangerfield started selling one-liners to comedians at age 15, and was doing stand-up at 17 as “Jack Roy”. [5]

Rodney Dangerfield was born in Deer Park, New York in 1921. [6]

In 1980, Dangerfield became a cornerstone of American comedy playing the role of Al Czervik in the classic Caddyshack (1980). [3]

Dangerfield began doing stand-up comedy in his teens, quit for more than a decade to live a “normal” life as a salesman, and then returned to stand-up after a divorce in 1962. [2]

In 1951, he quit comedy in disgust and sold aluminum siding for 12 years before stepping on stage again. [5]

It wasn’t until the age of 40 that Dangerfield made the decision to relaunch his career as a performer and comedy writer for the second time. [4]

The comedian made another attempt at stand up comedy, this time as Rodney Dangerfield. [6]

The year 1986 saw the comedy Back to School (1986), his biggest film to date. [3]

Rodney Dangerfield’s feature film credits include starring the classic hit comedy CADDYSHACK, as well as EASY MONEY which he co-wrote, the mega-hit BACK TO SCHOOL (one of the first comedys to gross over $100 million), and Paramount’s LADYBUGS. [4]

In films since his turn as a nasty theatre manager in the 1970 low-budgeter The Projectionist, Dangerfield has exuded a movie image somewhat different than his paranoid nightclub character; he often plays a crude-and-rude “nouveau riche” type who delights in puncturing the pomposity of his “old money” opponents (Caddyshack). [2]

Finally established as a reliable standup comedian, he would write thousands more of these self-deprecating jokes. [1]

Laurence Fishburne played the tough, mysterious, leather-clad Morpheus in the box office hit The Matrix (1999, with Keanu Reeves) and its sequels. [1]

Possessing as much flash, energy and intelligence as anyone currently in the game, Laurence Fishburne has certainly played his share of regulation black hoodlums and threats but also has benefited from color-blind casting as his tour de force Broadway performance as England’s King Henry II (opposite Stockard Channing as his Eleanor) in a 1999 revival of “The Lion in Winter” attests. [2]

Laurence John Fishburne III (born July 30, 1961) is an American actor of screen and stage, as well as a playwright, director, and producer. [3]

Throughout the 1980s, he continued to build up his film and TV credit list with featured roles despite little fanfare. [4]

It was she who encouraged him to be an actor and young Larry (as he was then billed) began his professional career with a New York stage debut at age ten. [2]

His other film roles include playing a Manhattan chess whiz in Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993, with Ben Kingsley), the title role in Othello (1995), and a weary Boston cop in Mystic River (2003, with Sean Penn). [1]

For three years (from 1973 to 1976), he portrayed adoptee Joshua West Hall on the ABC soap opera “One Life to Live” and made his film debut as the “Me” in “Cornbread, Earl and Me” (1975). [2]

He is perhaps best known for his roles as Morpheus in the Matrix science fiction film trilogy and as singer-musician Ike Turner in the Tina Turner biopic What’s Love Got to Do With It. [3]

Fishburne won Emmy awards in 1993 (for the series Tribeca, as an actor) and 1997 (for the TV movie Miss Evers’ Boys, as a producer) and a Tony Award in 1992 for the play Two Trains Running. [1]

He continued on but managed to avoid the trappings of a child star per se, considering himself more a working child actor at the time. [4]

The following year, in 1992, he won a Tony Award for his stage performance in the August Wilson play, Two Trains Running and an Emmy Award for his performance in the opening episode, “The Box,” of the short-lived anthology series television drama TriBeCa. [3]

Fishburne was acting on a national level from a young age: at age 12 he began making regular appearances on TV soap opera One Life To Live, and at 14 he spent over a year in the Philippines filming Francis Ford Coppola ’s violent Vietnam parable Apocalypse Now. [5]

At the age of 10, he appeared in his first play, “In My Many Names and Days,” at a cramped little theater space in Manhattan. [4]

His parents divorced during his childhood and he moved with his mother to Brooklyn, New York, where he was raised. [3]

For this powerful, mesmerizing performance, Laurence won nearly every prestigious theater award in the books (Tony, Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk and Theatre World). [4]

RadarOnline.com has the preview reel that shows Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi and Vinny Guadagnino ended up in bed together about a drunken night of partying and J-WOWW (Jenni Farley) and Sammi Sweetheart Giancola getting into a hair-pulling cat fight. [1]

Snooki rips into castmate Sammi “Sweetheart” in this just-released LA Times exclusive video from behind the scenes of Season 2 of Jersey Shore. [2]

Prosecutors in Miami-Dade County said Wednesday they won’t charge Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola after another woman claimed she was punched in the face May 8. [3]

Sammi “Sweetheart” is scheduled to appear at McFaddens Restaurant and Saloon (206 N. State Parkway). [4]

After swiftly breaking Mike’s heart, Sammi moved on to Ronnie, whose heart she breaks regularly. [2]

Jersey Shore guidette Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola will not face battery charges stemming from a Miami nighclub confrontation in which she allegedly popped someone in the kisser. [5]

Get ready to hear that phrase a lot this summer now that Jersey Shore Season 2 is upon us. [6]

While Mike the Situation, JWOW, Snooki and Pauly D have been hitting the talk show circuit, Sammi and Ronnie have been keeping a low profile. [7]

I miss Snooki 's weird oscillation between supremely confident and supremely self-conscious attitude. [...] In spite of — or more likely because of — all of the controversy surrounding Jersey Shore, the MTV reality series has been renewed for a second season. [5]

The fist-pumping cast of MTV’s hit reality show were supposed to start shooting Season 3 Monday, but refused to participate without first negotiating new contracts for more money, TMZ reports. [6]

I miss Sammi and Ronnie 's stupid couple fights. [5]

Jersey Shore’s Ronnie Magro partied it up this Memorial Day, and was inadvertently caught up in a major drug bust! [1]

Her relationship with Ronnie has, at times, isolated the couple from the rest of the house, and it’ll be interesting to see how the dynamic plays out in the second season. [2]

The Jersey Shore cast was on the Today show this morning to announce that all of the Season One cast members will be back to fist-pump their way through a second season of the breakout MTV show! [5]
