    RIP Bruno Kirby

    Inneresting fact: Kirby played the son of Richard Castellano in 1972 tv show The Super. Castellano played old Clemenza in Godfather (2nd best movie ever). Kirby played young Clemenza in Godfather II (best movie ever).

    Timberlake Not Impressed by 'Idol' Hicks

    NEW YORK (AP) - Justin Timberlake backtracked from criticism of "American Idol" winner Taylor Hicks after telling Fashion Rocks magazine the 29-year-old soul singer "can't carry a tune in a bucket."

     

    "I have a strange relationship with that show," Timberlake tells the magazine in an interview. "I despise it, and yet I'm completely fascinated."

     

    "The guy who won - people think he looks so normal, and he's so sweet, and he's so earnest, but he can't carry a tune in a bucket. Do you realize how much pressure it is to put on somebody all of a sudden?"

     

    Timberlake, a member of boy band 'N Sync who is now pursuing a solo career, also said: "If he has any skeletons whatsoever; if, God forbid, he's gay, and all these people in Mississippi who voted for him are like, 'Oh, my God, I voted for a queer!' It's just too much pressure."

     

    Liz Morentin, a representative for Hicks' record label, RCA, declined to comment Thursday.

     

    Ken Sunshine, Timberlake's representative, said the 25-year-old singer's comments "were taken completely out of context."

     

    "He has tremendous affection for Taylor Hicks' success," Sunshine told The Associated Press on Thursday. "He would never say anything that personal about somebody he's never met. He only wishes him the best."

     

    Timberlake's second solo album, "FutureSex/LoveSounds," is set for release Sept. 12. "Sexyback," his first single from the CD, began playing on U.S. radio outlets last month.

     

    "I wanted (the album) to look to a time when everything was really sexy," he says. "Maybe everybody was coked up, but who cares? It was hot. It was all about sex."

    RIP Bruno Kirby

    'City Slickers' Actor Bruno Kirby Dies

    LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Bruno Kirby, a veteran character actor known for playing the best friend in two of Billy Crystal's biggest comedies, ''When Harry Met Sally'' and ''City Slickers,'' has died. He was 57.

     

    Kirby died Monday in Los Angeles from complications related to leukemia, his wife Lynn Sellers said in a statement Tuesday. He had been recently diagnosed with the disease.

     

    ''We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support we have received from Bruno's fans and colleagues who have admired and respected his work over the past 30 years,'' his wife said. ''Bruno's spirit will continue to live on not only in his rich body of film and television work but also through the lives of individuals he has touched throughout his life.''

     

    Born Bruno Giovanni Quidaciolu in 1949 in New York City, he was the son of actor Bruce Kirby. His early work included the 1971 film ''Young Graduates,'' as well as appearances on the television show ''Room 222'' and the made-for-TV movie ''The Summer Without Boys.''

     

    In 1974, he scored a role in ''The Godfather: Part II,'' which won several Academy Awards, including best picture. In the film, Kirby played young ''Pete Clemenza,'' following Richard S. Castellano's role in the first installment.

     

    Over the next few years, Kirby made various TV appearances, including ''Fame'' and ''Hill Street Blues,'' before landing the role of ''2nd Lt. Steven Hauk'' in Robin Williams' ''Good Morning, Vietnam.''

     

    That was followed two years later by the romantic comedy ''When Harry Met Sally,'' in which Kirby played Crystal's best friend. In 1991, Kirby once again appeared as Crystal's cheery friend in ''City Slickers,'' -- along for a mid-life adventure driving cattle on a dude ranch.

     

    He also appeared in 1997's ''Donnie Brasco,'' and recently in an episode of the HBO hit series ''Entourage.''

     

    Along with his wife and father, Kirby is survived by his stepmother Roz Kirby, brother John Kirby and stepbrother Brad Sullivan.

     

    No information on funeral arrangements was immediately available.

    in the interest of getting this up quickly, no edits or tweaks performed. Very nice sound, no noisy neighbors.

    $425 for the music badge? Jacked up from $375 last year - plus I got a sinfully low hotel price. It is a great time, and a nice break from the Cleveland winter. Factor in the free beer and food. Tough call.
