Set those DVRs: "Scott Baio is 45...and Single" premieres tomorrow (Sunday), at 10:30 ET on VH1. Here's an interview with his Chachiness: Was it tough dredging up the past? Scary, not tough. A lot of women wouldn't talk to me. Some women I was afraid of because I wronged them and hell has no wrath like a woman scorned.

Baio Is Back
I know there's a secret cadre of Scott Baio fans on AdPulp, so I couldn't resist this nugget from Radar Magazine: The former Charles in Charge star is set to chronicle his dating life in L.A. for a VH1 show tentatively titled, Scott Baio is 45 ... And Single. Although no premiere date has been picked, a source close to production tells Radar, "it's essentially Scott Baio running around on dates trying to find a …

Alyssa Milano loves baseball. Especially, the Dodgers. So much so, she writes a blog on MLBlogs.com and she's started a new womens' line of baseball-inspired clothing called Touch.

I can't find the spot online, although you can see the earlier Foghat version at RPA.com. Given that the spot is not online, I present George Clinton on David Letterman circa 1986, care of YouTube. It's hard to imagine Dr. Funkenstein is endorsing a minivan. The very idea would have …

A Little Baio For Your Weekend
Seems that there's been a bit of Scott Baio bashing amongst the commenters on this board lately. To counteract such negativity, I present to you a commercial he did on behalf of the Los Angeles Sherriffs Star Organization in 2003.

The New York Times "Sunday Styles" section looks at a disturbing development, or excellent business opportunity, depending on one's point-of-view regarding consumerism and celebrity worship. Screens big and small are already full of recognizable brands like Coke and Cheerios placed in strategic view, a practice known as explicit product placement.
