Now, with the axing of “The Reagans,” CBS has seemingly declared that its future biopics won’t dare to challenge conventional wisdom. Meanwhile, the network has re minded its viewers that, at crunch time, they don’t count. Special in terests do. After all, none of the thousands who protested “The Reagans,” and prevailed with CBS, had viewed the film. Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie, who wrote a blistering letter to Moonves, hadn’t seen it. Bill O’Reilly, who joined other on-air pundits in demonizing the film, hadn’t seen it. Michael Paranzino, who launched the “Boycott CBS” Web site, hadn’t seen it. And notf CBS’ viewers never wUl. But there’s really no need. These days, passing judgment on a film calls for no more than a few excerpts, a glimpse of its script and cherished assumptions about the media’s collective depravity. “We believe this is a solution that benefits everyone involved,” said CBS when it pulled “The Reagans.” So everyone wins, huh? But what show gets pulled next? How long will CBS surrender to this kind of winning streak? Klores CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 Klores also will begin shooting another film in late January. As for the boys of the park, •Klores says “we all keep in touch a Lot more now; we get together like when we were 20 years old and just play ball — everyone has the same moves, but just ten steps slower; things don’t change.” USC students are encouraged to come out and see the film “The Boys of 2nd Street Park” during a special free screening on Tuesday, which will be followed by a question and answer session with filmmaker Dan Klores.

Instead of being based on the show, it’s based on the $10,000 cosmetic remodel he gave his Atlanta house. Published by Hyperion, the book’s subtext is, “home repair secrets plus cheap and easy pro jects to transform any room.” Yes, the toilet-plunger lamp is in there, and more. Like how Ty turned a Dollar Store metal salad bowl into a bathroom sink (real ly). And how Ty created bedside lamps out of Chinese placemats (truly). Plus, he demonstrates how he fashioned a few pieces of wood flooring into a handsome — and cheap — kitchen counter. Ail this is accompanied by in structions and helpful hints. Take that kitchen counter. It will need to be sealed with mineral oil, he writes, “if you plan to do any cut ting, slicing or chopping on the wooden surface. The good news is that mineral oil is also a laxative!” Pennington clearly still enjoys be ing the class clown. In a moment of candor, however, he blurts: “What I hate is, people think, ‘He’s shallow.’” That’s a premise no doubt born of his former profes sion: hunky model for J.Crew ads. He’s also been an actor. So he proudly recounts how . he wrote the book himself, adding chapters about tool use and even supervising the book’s graphic design. That’s a direct outgrowth of the years he spent in art colleges.
