Stallone Resurrects Rocky OCT. 17
Sylvester Stallone, 59, announces he will write, direct, and star in a
sixth Rocky movie, then later in the month commits to Rambo IV. He's
waiting until he turns 140 for a Judge Dredd 2, because by then the last
person who saw Judge Dredd will be dead and can't warn everybody.
Craig Named The New Bond OCT. 14
Sony announces its latest James Bond: Layer Cake's Daniel Craig, who'll
star in the franchise's 21st flick, Casino Royale. The movie, which
starts filming in January, will focus on Bond's early days, showing how
he became the superslick spy we've known and loved for 43 years. Perhaps
we'll also learn of the traumatic swizzle-stick experience that forever
turned him against stirred martinis.
Stern's Successors Revealed OCT. 25
Infinity Broadcasting announces that Adam Carolla and David Lee Roth
will split Howard Stern's time slot on most stations (Carolla in the
West, Roth in the East) — after the King of All Media departs in December
for his new kingdom in satellite radio. The energetic Diamond Dave will
have to adjust to this new gig, mostly because after sitting in a vinyl
chair for four hours each day, he risks an awful case of buttless-chap
rash.
iPod Joins the A/V Club OCT. 12
Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveils a new iPod, which plays video on its
2.5-inch screen. To entice customers, iTunes lets users pay to download
music videos and ABC hits like Lost. And now we all come one step closer
to having liquid Wife Swap injected into our cerebral cortexes.
