^ONTINUED FROM PAGE 6
“Hitler” aired as scheduled. 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 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.

Pennington
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7
perky host, Paige Davis.
Pennington’s book, however,
is different. 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.

HOROSCOPES
ARIES Don’t schedule meetings
or luncheon dates. You have
too much work ahead. It’s
much smarter for you to get
prepared so that you’re not
taken by surprise.
TAURUS Allow yourself a
break. Your place should be
looking nice by now, so play
host. A nice dinner for you and
the ones you love would
energize everyone.
GEMINI Don’t depend on
technology to get an important
job done. Make sure you have a
backup plan in case machinery
breaks down.
CANCER It won’t be long before
you get back into a practical
frame of mind. Right now, the
money is burning a hole in your
pocket, so boycott the mall.
LEO Time to get back to work
and bring in the money so that
you can do fun things. Work
out a balance so that no single
activity interferes with
another. •
VIRGO Seems like everybody’s
been wanting a little bit of
your attention. If you’re
feeling stretched, it’s time to
prioritize _ again and again
and again.
LIBRA Your social calendar has
been more than full —
overflowing, actually.
Remember that the work you
put off today will still have to be
done tomorrow. Pace yourself.
SCORPIO As you’re getting rid
of the stuff you don’t need, be
sure to ask around. Something
you’ve outgrown could be ■
perfect for somebody else. Be
generous.
SAGITTARIUS Oops! If you’ve
been having too much fun, ,
you’re facing a tough situation.
You’re not prepared for the test
today, and it’s unlikely you can
fake it. Cram!
CAPRICORN Getting out to
j visit with friends would be
pleasant. A change of scenery
is good, but don’t tell them
everything.
AQUARIUS It’s a good time to
discuss the future and to draw
up a few plans. Don’t avoid the
financial aspects. Avoid
unpleasant surprises.
I PISCES You’re good at
providing for others without
even being asked. Let someone
return the favor.
