According to the Hollyood Reporter, Little Miss Sunshine producers Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa are set to join their fellow Hamlet 2 producer Eric Eisner in the production of a biopic about Jerry Garcia. The three have just signed on to produce the as-yet unnamed project, which promises a revealing look at the Grateful Dead frontman's youth.Part 3: The Media
“You’re The Best” - Joe Esposito
CNN claims it’s got “The Best Political Team on Television,” while Fox News claims it’s got “The Best Political Team Ever.” With slogans this superlative, how come the coverage sucks so bad?
As many of you know, Sweet Talk's roving reporter Buckshot Johnson has roamed the globe for gripping stories in the world of sports and leisure. Following his last piece on Barry Manilow and Brian Boitano , Buckshot is currenlty at the time trials in Cholet where he has unearthed a striking find for Dead Heads everywhere:

Barack Obama's presidential campaign has inspired several artists to produce the gift of song. Most recently, will.i.am and Jesse Dylan (son of Bob) released a song entitled "Yes We Can" in support of the hopeful candidate, which featured roughly a bajillion famous people as disparate as Nick Cannon, Herbie Hancock and Scarlett Johansson.
Perhaps most famous was the song "I Got a Crush... on Obama," by Obama Girl, otherwise known as Amber Lee Ettinger, whose YouTube video has been viewed 5,751,880 times. It's possible that Obama's Girl is more famous than Obama himself.
Tonight, one last band will shake off its cobwebs in an attempt to Barack voters all night long. The Grateful Dead announced plans over the weekend to reunite for one show, and one show only, in support of the candidate.
Tickets to the live performance sold out almost instantly, but Deadheads far and wide can watch the performance from the comfort of their dwellings at IClips.net at 7:30p.m. PST.
What a long strange trip it's been for Obama since his campaign began back in 2006, but he's kept on truckin', and come tomorrow, the future of his presidential hopes will be determined for the people, by the people.
(See what we did there?)
