The mysterious mind behind "Dial B for Burbank" files his last post, just he did with his previous "Dial B for Blog." But, don't despair--it looks like he's got another project in the works.

Anne Hathaway talks about playing Agent 99 in the upcoming "Get Smart" film.
"We all love the original series," Hathaway said in an interview on the set in Los Angeles last May. "And you will not find bigger fans than us. And we all decided we wanted to be very respectful, while at the same time wanting to put our own mark on the film. So what we talked about with Agent 99 was rather than making her a carbon copy of Barbara Feldon's creation, we decided to respect the spirit of 99, which was that she was a fully realized woman of her time. So rather than take Barbara Feldon and put her in 2008, ... when the film comes out, we decided to make 99 a fully actualized woman of 2008. And so, as a result, I do get some zingers. I'm a little bit of a hell-raiser. And, hopefully, we also retain some of the elegance of the original character."

A big batch of Jim Henson's retired muppets are being gifted to Atlanta's Center for Puppetry Arts.
Cheryl Henson, Jim Henson’s second-oldest daughter, and Jane Henson, her mother and Mr. Henson’s first performing partner, expected to be in Atlanta on Wednesday to announce the gift: 500 to 700 puppets, including some of the first Muppets built; props; scenic elements; posters; sketches; and drawings that Mr. Henson created for shows like “The Muppet Show,” “Sesame Street,” “Fraggle Rock” and “Sam and Friends” (where the Muppets first appeared). Cheryl Henson has also pledged $1 million of her own money to the center.
