-Just the facts-
The executive producer of the new FOX sitcom Back to You told TCT columnist Doug Moe how he got the idea for Kelsey Grammer's pompous news anchor character for the show:
"It was the night John Lennon was shot," [Steve] Levitan recalled, "And it was very sad. They went to the footage around the Dakota, and people were crying. You knew it was a very big moment for the anchorman. They came back to him, and he looked into the camera and went, very dramatically, 'Lennon is survived by his wife, Topo Gigio.'"
Levitan wouldn't name the anchorman, but I'm guessing he works down the hall from him at FOX News. (The Capital Times)

"Des Moines police investigate attack by onion." More bad grammar; police are actually investigating an attack with an onion, which is only slightly less surprising than an attack by an enraged onion. James Izzolena came home drunk, got into a fight with his wife, and winged an onion at her, hitting her in the back of the head. The mugshot fun:
No word on whether, if convicted, Izzolena plans to a-peel -- sorry, I had to. (Des Moines Register)
