Searching for a comic!
This is a comic I read when I was maybe 4-5, so it must be from the seventies or early eighties, I gave up hope finding it long ago. Me idiot never thought of searching it through the internet :S. This is my second try. It´s a hard one.

I have only clues, some details. But no story, no title, no country, although I don´t know why it may be italian or maybe it was in italian :/. Here are some vague clues:

1. It has this surreal atmosphere, I think black and white.

2. There is a very long stair maybe like a world of stairs at some point.

3. I think at the end there was a man (somewhat old?) who was literally puppeteering the world, and suddenly over this man was another one puppeteering him and so on I think.

4. There was a bleeding nose I don´t remember why, maybe cut by a fingernail?!

5. There were beautiful woman/women. They had a little the Angelina Jolie lips. And I´m 100 % sure there was at least one wearing two funnels as a bra.

Close to home
I read in People Weekly that Tawny Cypress reunited with her once-estranged father, a Hurricane Katrina victim, sometime prior to filming K-Ville (TV series). What's the story behind this? And what's the show's theme music?72.229.130.76 02:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Episode of COPS in USSR
Apparently there was an episode of COPS filmed in the former soviet union. All I can find are mentions of the episode having existed, anybody know of somewhere I could find it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.193.171.109 (talk) 02:38, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I saw an episode of Cops filmed in Russia. Can't remember when, though.

 * COPS in Russia Episode 114, Season 1. It was first aired on Saturday June 17, 1989. The show doesn't appear to have been released in DVD in seasons, though some episodes have been grouped together by theme, so you might be able to find it on one of them. Otherwise you best bet would be to catch it in syndication. Rockpock  e  t  18:43, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Naked News
Does anybody have an uncensored version of the "Naked News" clip shown on the episode of "Most Outrageous TV Moments"? I think it was aired 1-20-06. I said, does anybody have it? I don't have any money right now. Anyway, I don't do online subscriptions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.130.156.174 (talk) 02:46, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Grease: You're the One that I Want!
In the above-named TV show, the viewing audience selected two actors to be cast in the lead roles of Sandy and Danny in a Broadway production of Grease. That production was supposed to have opened in August (or so) of 2007. Does anyone know how these two actors fared in their performances? Are there any reviews, etc.? Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro 15:38, 25 September 2007 (UTC))
 * They opened in July. The critical response was lukewarm, with most agreeing that Laura Osnes puts in a better performance than Max Crumm. Some reviews: . If you are interested,  here is what the other contenders are up to.  Rockpock  e  t  18:28, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Phil Collins Vocals
Phil Collins from starting his solo vocal career in 1981, his vocals have changed tremdendously. It had happened especially through 1989 thru 1997. His singing was different in No Jacket Required than it was ...But Seriously. Anyone know what happened?--75.44.155.52 22:47, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Who knows? People's voices change as they get older. I note that, early on in his time with Genesis, Collins sounded a lot like Peter Gabriel, which is perhaps why he was chosen as Gabriel's replacement. Another good example is Greg Lake. His voice today is deeper and huskier than the early days of Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Why? Age, most likely rather than anything else (i.e. health problems). It could also be recording (different studios, different producers, different sound guys.)--Sethacus 01:41, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Alcohol, smoke, and obesity affect the voice (ie: Rod Stewart and Neil Diamond). Then, as Sethacus stated, some singers are able to force their voice outside their natural range when they are young, but lose the ability as they age (ie: Robert Palmer). --  k a i n a w &trade; 15:10, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * As Sethacus remarks, in his early days as vocalist with Genesis, Collins did sound a lot like Peter Gabriel. I recall an interview where he said that he was Genesis drummer at the time when Gabriel left, and the group were looking for a new vocalist. It was hard to get the other members to take him seriously as a singer, and so he deliberately made himself sound like Gabriel. I suppose that as time has gone on he has been able to find his own voice, particularly as a solo performer. SaundersW 16:24, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
