The Motown label has found yet another way to package it's lucrative back catalog: Put all it's number one hits in a box. A big box.
According to Billboard, Motown: The Complete No. 1's, due out Dec. 10 (Hey! Isn't that right around Christimas?), will fill out 10 CDs containing 191 tunes--including, in my opinion, probably around 80 really good ones. Things get wildly uneven around disk 6, if you ask me.

Lost novel by Doc Savage creator set for publication
Hard Case Books, which publishes new and old hard-boiled crime novels is set to publish a lost manuscript by Lester Dent, a.k.a. Kenneth Robeson, the creator of pulp hero Doc Savage.
According to Robert Greenberger at Comic Mix:
[Hard Case publisher] Charles Ardai just announced that he will publish, for the first time ever, a Lester Dent novel, "Honey in his Mouth." The creator of Doc Savage had written the story intended for the Gold Medal line of books that are a direct ancestor to Hard Case.

Remembering Neil Hefti, composer of the Batman theme
Composer/arranger Neil Hefti, who passed away at age 85 Oct. 11, will be forever remembered for his catchy theme tune to the 1960s "Batman" TV show, but he did a lot more.
Coming up in the big band era, Hefti had a long and successful collaboration with Count Basie, writing many hit charts for the bandleader's orchestra. He also provided arrangements for Frank Sinatra and many others.
And, along with "Batman," he penned the memorable theme to "The Odd Couple."
Here he is talking about the "Batman" theme:
"Sure, you may say I could have written the theme itself in two minutes -- but it took weeks to work out the arrangement, which is inseparable from the melody," he told the Los Angeles Times in 1966. "It often takes time to write something that sounds like you just turned on a faucet and it flowed out."
Mr. Hefti also inserted a single lyric -- a repeated exclamatory "Batman!" -- which prompted him to joke that his composer's credit should read, "Word and Music by Neal Hefti."
And here's that show's opening credits:

Seven Doctors unite for Doctor Who charity special
All seven living "Doctor Who" actors will appear in a new Children In Need charity special to be televised in Britain Nov. 14, the Daily Telegraph reports.
An insider at the BBC said: "It's a pretty ambitious idea and it's still being finalised. Everything is being kept under wraps but Doctor Who fans are in for a big treat."
...The seven survivors include Tom Baker, now best known as the voice of the comedy series Little Britain, who played the role for seven years from 1974.
He was followed by Peter Davidson from 1981 to 1984, whose daughter Georgia Moffett has also featured in the programme and who is now dating the current doctor, David Tennant.
The others are Colin Baker, from 1984 to 1986, Sylvester McCoy who had two stints from 1987 to 1989 and re-appeared in the role in 1996, Paul McGann, who took over the role in 1996 and Christopher Eccleston who reprised the series in 2005.

Superman and Batman "motion comics" planned
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Batman: Black & White" and "Superman: Red Son" will be adapted as "motion comics," with animation and voiceovers used to "enhance" the original comic book stories. Sounds like a high-tech update of those horrible 1960s Marvel Comics cartoons.
Anyway:
Warner Premiere and Warner Bros. Digital Distribution will adapt the graphic album and graphic novel into digitally downloadable episodes that bring the comic to life by combining the artwork with subtle movement, voice-overs and musical scores.
The companies introduced their first motion comic at this year's Comic-Con with the initial chapter of "Watchmen," which adapted the first issue of the 1980s comic book miniseries into that format. Dave Gibbons, the original artist, was even tapped to redraw certain parts of the story.
