Mojo Nixon was absolutely himself right to the end. The cult hero died Feb. 7 on board the Outlaw Country Cruise, where he’d performed and caroused in signature fashion the night before (“passing after a blazing show, a raging night, closing the bar, taking no prisoners,” according to a statement from his family).
Less than a year before that, he was in peak form as well, speaking with Rolling Stone about the making of his 2023 documentary, The Mojo Manifesto. It was a wide-ranging, side-splitting conversation, going over the wildest early...

Harry McMurtry's legs ached and his brow dripped with sweat as he walked through small towns and sprawling farms in upstate New York and Ontario, Canada, under the sweltering sun for almost two months. "All I kept thinking was, 'Just keep moving,' " McMurtry tells People. "I couldn’t quit." Starting May 7, the Toronto native set out to complete 500 Miles for Parkinson's, a daunting, 45-day walk from New York City, where he lives with his wife of three years, Deborah Bradley, to his hometown in Canada to raise money and awareness for Parkinson's disease.

“I’d go as far as saying that overly enthusiastic wheat consumption is the main cause of the obesity and diabetes crisis in the United States,” – Dr. William Davis, Wheat Belly.Did you know that the modern version of wheat is far removed from the ancient plant. The newer, high-yield wheat we’ve been eating since the 1980s is full of genetic changes that inflame our bodies, cause our guts to leak and even trigger autoimmune diseases in some people. Grains cause deficiencies, but all is not lost, says a top cardiologist William Davis, MD.Dr. Davis is the author of several books […]...

Bentley Gregg (John Forsythe, "Bachelor Father," 1957-62, CBS/NBC/ABC): Though he had plenty of female friends, attorney Gregg also was responsible enough to raise his niece.
Bill Davis (Brian Keith, "Family Affair," CBS, 1966-71): Bringing up his orphaned nieces and nephew usually didn't cramp the romantic life of civil engineer Davis.
Amos Burke (Gene Barry, "Burke's Law" and "Amos Burke, Secret Agent," ABC, 1963-66): Crime solver Burke lived the high life very visibly, which was of natural appeal to many women. ("Burke's Law," with Barry again, had a mid-'90s revival on CBS.)
Tom Corbett (Bill Bixby, "The Courtship of Eddie's Father," ABC, 1969-72): With much input from his young son, widower Corbett often played the game of love.
Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan, "Remington Steele," NBC, 1982-87): Even if in the end he was a one-woman man -- that woman being detective agency boss...

During the holidays we reported on McFarlane's 2007 Twisted Christmas figures (see here). One of those figures being the sexy Mrs. Claus putting on a naughty show with the north's pole - you heard me right. Must be a lot of lonely men (or ladies too) out there because she sold out at lightening speed and has been hard to get a hold of ever since. Well turn that frown upside down! Read more.
Due to enormous fan demand and an almost immediate sell-through of the original Mrs. Claus figure from their 2007 Twisted Christmas line, McFarlane Toys is proud to offer an exclusive Mrs. Claus repaint. Exclusive to William Davis Collectibles, Mrs. Claus just got a make-over and will be limited to only 4,000 pieces.
The best part is she's only $30 bones! That's cheaper than the hooker I picked up last week, dang it! You can pre-order the figure with expected delivery sometime in May,...
