In a surprising revelation earlier today, entertainer John Davidson has finally admitted that he is the father of Senator John Edwards. "Ya it's embarrassing, especially for me, but with everything that's happening with John [Edwards] right now I thought I might be able to slip this under radar. Plus I figured it's impossible for him to be any more embarrassed than he already is", said the singer and former host of That's Incredible!, Hollywood Squares, and the $100,000 Pyramid.
Davidson had denied paternity for years coincidentally using the same Internet form-letter that his alleged son has used on numerous occasions. They both apparently downloaded the letter from the same website, aint-MY-kid.com, which provides reference material and legal referrals and is "totally anonymous" according to company spokesman and long-time customer Wilt Chamberlain. Though the issue of paternity is still disputed, Edwards did concede that under California intellectual property law, Mr. Davidson is the real father of his hair.
Paul Simon's new album, The Front Steppes (to be released by Warner Brother this February), marks another chapter in Paul Simon's keen interest in world music that has spanned more than 25 years and given us such landmark albums as Graceland and Rhythm of the Saints. The album's songs feature beautifully crafted lyrics which poetically evoke sentimental imagery from Simon's youth in New York City and particularly his native borough of Queens and are performed by a troop of Mongolian throat singers.
Monica Harvenstein who represents Tony Danza for the talent agency Mikkelson and Firensky announced earlier today that Mr. Danza will be appearing in a Broadway production of West Side Story. Mr. Danza will be further broadening his acting palette by playing the part of an Italian-American New Yorker. His character is the leader of the gang known as the Jets. However because 'Tony' is the name of the show's romantic lead, played by Justin Gordon (one of the few cast members not actually named Tony), Mr. Danza will need to use his character's original name, Riff, marking the first time in his long career that Danza will play a character not named 'Tony'. The show's producer added, "Tony [Danza] is keenly interested in honing his craft and finally playing a character not called 'Tony' is an exciting new challenge for this talented veteran actor. The challenge is made all the more difficult by the fact that Tony not only needs to learn to respond to the name Riff while on stage but must also, for the love of God, find some way by opening night to stop responding every time he hears the name Tony.
