Signy Coleman invites you to her comfy cyber-home
When we interviewed Signy Coleman for our November 21 and 26, 2008 posts, she told us she was planning an official website, one that she had decided to launch to dispel some of the sometimes-outrageous things she would read about herself online. Well, Signy-Coleman.com is live and as inviting as a drive on a lovely stretch of the countryside.
At the site, you'll find not only the standard bio and resume and some beautiful snaps of the modeling days of our former Celeste DiNapoli of "Santa Barbara," you'll even see recipes from this new author, who is releasing a cookbook with her sister, Bethany Coleman-Atherton.
"As I grew and began expanding the area of my pond, my years as a ballerina and sheer determination earned me a ticket to Paris and the chance to strut the catwalks of high fashion," she reminisces in an excerpt from the book. "Forget about becoming Christian Dior’s muse, or being splashed across the glossy pages of fashion magazines, Paris was like waking up in a dream, the golden ticket firmly in hand, into a realm of food far exceeding anything I had ever experienced. ... For this 19 year old tomboy, who had never been further then the mountains north of San Francisco, it was rapture."
The sisters' book, "Snaggin' the Stag: Luring the Hart from Forest, Memoirs with Recipes," blends their own continental adventuring with exotic taste. "It's sort of memoirs of food and love and the chase that's involved," Signy told us about the book. "We tested all the recipes. We dressed, we photographed, everything is ours."
And now, Coleman's new website gives you a glimpse of not only the book, but also her travels and, unmistakably, her flair for life.

James Best will be taking on the "Shrews" once again
Just a few years ago, in 2005, a fervent fan cried out for a sequel on the IMDb page for the 1959 movie, "The Killer Shrews." He kicked off some interesting responses, then later added, "I think James Best could return as the doctor if the movie is remade." Well, faithful fan, you'll be happy to know that Best, our own Rosco P. Coltrane of "The Dukes of Hazzard," is right now working on the script for the sequel, 50 years after the original was released.
"I am been very busy lately, doing a rewrite on a screenplay that Steve Latshaw and I are working on," Best says in the current issue of his email newsletter. "We hope to shoot the movie in the spring. It is a sequel to a movie I made 50 years ago. It is called 'Killer Shrews II.'"
The plot of the original, written by Jay Simms of "Have Gun, Will Travel" and "The Big Valley," involved a group of people on an isolated island, being terrorized by giant, voracious shrews. In the midst of a hurricane, we'll add. And hey, the promotional campaign involved a woman's pink pump and splattered blood, so whaddya expect? (But just so we're clear here -- we're talking about the vicious animal shrew here, not the ... ahem ... female.)
"This was a movie that I made as a favor to a man named Ray Kellogg," Best continues. "Years ago. It was made for practically nothing but was so corny that it actually became a cult film. We hope to shoot it in a three-dimensional format."
Wanna get primed? You can watch the original at Archive.org, where you'll see posts from other ardent fans(!). You can also catch the film's trailer at the IMDb.

"A Funny Kind of Love Part Four": Beautiful and bright Bernadette Brownlee has had a rocky romance with Riverdale’s resident wise guy, Reggie!

U.S. Postal Service issues our favorite soda threesome on a stamp
OK, we're afraid we're going to have to issue one of our run-don't-walk edicts, because this one's pretty hot ... This July, run, don't walk, to your neighborhood post office (and if you live in our neighborhood, get there really early, because there's always a line out the door just for usual business!), because you're going to want to nab yourself some of these Archie Comics stamps, part of the "Sunday Funnies" collection.
The U.S. Postal Service issued this description as it unveiled its 2010 line of stamps:
"Offering an idealized portrait of American adolescence, Archie existed only in comic-book form before debuting in newspapers in 1946. A typical small-town teenager with a knack for goofing things up, 17-year-old Archie Andrews is often torn between haughty brunette Veronica Lodge and sweet, blonde Betty Cooper."
Yea, don't we know it ... sigh ...
Anyhow, the "Sunday Funnies" stamps go on sale in July. To see what other stamps are coming this year, view the Postal Service's press release.

Happy New Year -- and welcome, Scooby-Doo, to the BRBTV family!
It's a fine, fine day when we can announce a new product in the BRBTV line, and it's even finer when it's a special day like New Year's!Since his TV debut in 1969, Scooby-Doo has been loved the world over. The comical, cowardly Great Dane and his human pals, Freddy, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy, have been riding around in their Mystery Machine, bringing in the ghosts and monsters and all-around crooks, for decades. Now a brand-new BRBTV Report examines the genesis of the original series, “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!”, with some thoughts directly from Scoob's creators, the legendary animation duo Joe Ruby and Ken Spears. The Report also offers a detailed episode guide and other fun stuff such as a “whodunit” list, the show’s credits and a look at some of the vast Scooby merchandise.
