Trivia Question from Yesterday


What is the most common surname on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?


      Williams                                                      Source


Twelve Joneses have stars, but only seven Smiths. There are 14 Moores, but the most common surname is Williams: Andy Williams, Bill Williams, Billy Dee Williams, Cindy Williams, Earle Williams, Esther Williams, Guy Williams, Hank Williams, Joe Williams, Kathlyn Williams, Paul Williams, Robin Williams, Roger Williams, Tex Williams and Vanessa Williams.

The largest collection of stars honoring one group of blood relatives is the widely scattered set of seven representing the Barrymore family: John Barrymore, his brother Lionel (who has two), and sister Ethel, their uncle Sidney Drew, John's son John Drew Barrymore, and John Drew's daughter Drew Barrymore.        Source








Marian was first, and correct, with:
   Williams



Lois Of Oregon said:
   Here's the thing about fame...there are a butt load of "Williams" on the sidewalk, all of them real and few of them remembered. But there is only ONE Godzilla, EVERYBODY know him, and he isn't even real! So take THAT, reality!




Charlie answered:
   There are 15 Williams.







Alan J wrote:
   Williams



Maurice replied:
   My guess would be Barrymore.



Jim from CA, retired to ID, responded:
   Williams



Leo in Maryland wrote:
   Considering there's Andy Williams, John Williams, Vanessa Williams, Robin Williams, Billy Dee Williams, and Hank Williams, I'd say it's "Williams."



Adam answered:
   Williams; there are 15.



Sally said:
   Williams is the most common surname on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I am thinking that we had this question before...

  I heard that unlike the Grauman's Chinese Theater prints, those honored on the "Walk of Fame" actually pay to have their's planted for all to see. I guess that fans can pay for a celebrity as well. Even so...
  PS: Guess I really didn't know the answer yesterday - he was a rare bird to me, LOL!




Dale of Diamond Springs, Norfallcali, replied:
   It be Williams! Andy, Bill, Billy Dee, Cindy, Earle, Esther, Guy, Hank, Joe, Kathlyn, Paul, Robin, Roger, Tex, and Vanessa.
Billy Dee Williams Cindy Williams Esther Williams
Hank Williams Robin Williams Vanessa Williams

NYC Benefit

"Stand Up for Heroes"

Bruce Springsteen auctioned off the guitar around his shoulder for $250,000 to benefit wounded servicemen and women, the climax of Wednesday's seventh annual "Stand Up for Heroes" benefit run by ABC newsman Bob Woodruff's foundation.

A murderer's row of comics - Jon Stewart, Bill Cosby, Jim Gaffigan and Jerry Seinfeld - preceded former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters, who played with a band featuring wounded vets, and local hero Springsteen. The show at the Madison Square Garden Theater was beamed online through Google Plus and YouTube.

Woodruff, the newsman nearly killed eight years ago by an improvised explosive device in Iraq, and his wife, Lee, spend much of their time now helping vets who need care for catastrophic injuries. This year's benefit, from which the Woodruffs hoped to raise $20 million, had a special emphasis on family caregivers who nurse veterans back to health.

Waters, whose father was killed in World War II and his grandfather in World War I, brought nearly two dozen veterans onstage with him to sing and play guitar, some of them missing limbs. He often turned the lead microphone over to other singers during performances of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," John Lennon's "Imagine," Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" and Waters' own "Comfortably Numb."

Springsteen said he was surprised that with four comics on the bill and an audience stocked with servicemen, there weren't any dirty jokes. So he offered three of his own.

Newest Inductees

Toy Hall of Fame

The rubber duck squeaked out a win for a place in the National Toy Hall of Fame, joining the ancient game of chess in the 2013 class inducted Thursday.

The pair beat out 10 other finalists: bubbles, the board game Clue, Fisher-Price Little People, little green Army men, the Magic 8 Ball, My Little Pony, Nerf toys, the Pac-Man video game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the scooter.

Online polls had Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and My Little Pony running strong, but in the end a national selection committee made up of 23 experts, including toy collectors, designers and psychologists, voted in the winners.

To date, 53 toys are in the National Toy Hall of Fame, including alphabet blocks, the jump rope, playing cards, Scrabble and the stick.

Protests MPAA Rating

Judi Dench

The head of the Secret Intelligence Service, where James Bond works, has returned from the dead.

Played by Judi Dench, M was killed off in the most recent Bond adventure, "Skyfall." But Dench resurrected the character in a video released Thursday as part of the Weinstein Co.'s appeal to the Motion Picture Association of America to change the rating of Dench's latest starring vehicle, "Philomena."

The MPAA has given the film an R rating for language, but the Weinstein Co. wants it changed to PG-13. Company co-founder Harvey Weinstein appeared on "CBS This Morning" on Thursday to discuss his fight with the ratings organization.

Weinstein introduced the Dench video, which shows the actress in M's office, saying, "Just when you thought I was dead." She then appears to send an agent on a mission, asking, "Are you familiar with MPAA?"

Grandson To Run For Georgia Governor

Jimmy Carter

A grandson of former President Jimmy Carter said on Thursday he plans to run for governor of Georgia, an office once held by his grandfather on his path to the White House.

Jason Carter, who serves in the Georgia Senate, will seek the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican Governor Nathan Deal next year in a state that has not had a Democratic governor in 12 years.

Carter said his campaign would focus on ways to improve the state's education system, economy and ethics laws.

The lawyer and former Peace Corps volunteer said he had not discussed whether his grandfather would campaign for him, but thinks the former president's name recognition will help his chances at the polls.

Editor Takes One For The Team

'Guns & Ammo'

The editor of "Guns & Ammo" magazine has issued a lengthy apology to outraged readers for publishing an editorial that called for gun control.

"As editor of 'Guns & Ammo,' I owe each and every reader a personal apology," Jim Bequette wrote in a letter posted on the magazine's website late Wednesday. "No excuses, no backtracking. Dick Metcalf's 'Backstop' column in the December issue has aroused unprecedented controversy. Readers are hopping mad about it, and some are questioning [our] commitment to the Second Amendment. I understand why."

In the column, Metcalf argued that gun owners can no longer hide behind the Second Amendment.

"Way too many gun owners still seem to believe that any regulation of the right to keep and bear arms is an infringement," contributing editor Metcalf wrote in a column titled "Let's Talk Limits." "The fact is, all constitutional rights are regulated, always have been, and need to be."

Bequette, who was planning to step down as editor on Jan. 1, wrote that he would do so immediately.

Notebook To Auction

Jim Morrison

An unpublished notebook containing the musings and poems of Jim Morrison in the last year of his life is included in a coming sale of rock 'n' roll memorabilia.

The handwritten marble notebook by The Doors' lead singercould bring between $200,000 and $300,000 on Dec. 18 in an auction both online and live in Calabasas, Calif., said Profiles In History auction house.

Morrison's notebook, contained in a custom leather clamshell case, comes from the collection of rock legendGraham Nash. It was given to Nash by his manager, Bill Siddons, in the 1980s. Nash writes on the inside of the case that Siddons was the person who picked up Morrison's body in Paris where the singer died in 1971 at the age of 27.

Other highlights include handwritten lyrics to The Doors' "Riders on the Storm" and Bob Dylan's "I Want You." The first is estimated at $20,000-$30,000; Dylan's could fetch from $30,000 to $50,000.

Claims Staked

Art Trove

Museums and heirs have begun to stake claims to a vast trove of priceless paintings long hidden in a German flat, as calls mounted Thursday for authorities to publish a definitive list of the works.

Prominent lawyer and art patron Peter Raue, who works closely with museums in Berlin, said Germany must do its part for transparency as many families of Jews stripped of their assets under the Nazis believe their works may be among those found.

Despite international pressure, German prosecutors have refused to publish a full inventory of the works, citing a need for more time to fully catalogue them and for discretion in their probe.

They have launched an investigation on charges of tax evasion and misappropriation of assets against Cornelius Gurlitt, in whose garbage-strewn Munich apartment the more than 1,400 works including paintings by Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Henri Matisse were found in February 2012.

The case only came to light this week in a magazine report.

Attracts Fewer Visitors

Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris attracted a million fewer visitors this year after a record 2012, its operator said Thursday, as the debt crisis in Europe hurt demand in the tourism sector.

Visitorship fell to 14.9 million for the financial year ending September, compared to 16 million in 2012, the theme park's operator Euro Disney said.

The slump was mostly due to a drop in French visitors -- who fell by 600,000. The theme park also recorded fewer Spanish and Italian visitors, although more British and Germans turned up.

Although the group managed to cut its net loss for the year by 25 percent to 64.4 million euros, that was only achieved through a 1.3 billion-euro refinancing from its US parent firm Walt Disney Company.

Found In Utah

New Dinosaur

Paleontologists on Wednesday unveiled a new dinosaur discovered four years ago in southern Utah that proves giant tyrant dinosaurs like the Tyrannosaurus rex were around 10 million years earlier than previously believed.

A full skeletal replica of the carnivore - the equivalent of the great uncle of the T. rex - was on display at the Natural History Museum of Utah alongside a 3-D model of the head and a large painted mural of the dinosaur roaming a shoreline.

It was the public's first glimpse at the new species, which researchers named Lythronax argestes. The first part of the name means "king of gore," and the second part is derived from poet Homer's southwest wind.

The fossils were found in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in November 2009, and a team of paleontologists spent the past four years digging them up and traveling the world to confirm they were a new species.

It was 24 feet long and 8 feet tall at the hip, and was covered in scales and feathers, Loewen said. Asked what the carnivorous dinosaur ate, Loewen responded: "Whatever it wants."

May Explain The Paranormal

'Infrasound'

Science now has a plausible explanation for ghost-sightings, hauntings and the ghoulish work of the evil spirits - a phenomenon called infrasound.

Infrasound is made up of sound waves so low that our human ears cannot detect it, science columnist Torah Kachur told CBC Radio West.

"But our bodies still interpret it, and it makes that bone-chilling, hair-stand-on-end kind of feeling."

Infrasound has been found to cause physiological effects such as heart palpitations and respiratory change, and can distort the eyeballs to such a degree that "apparitions" can be observed, Kachur says.

Stuns Scientists

Six-Tailed Asteroid

A strange asteroid that appears to have multiple rotating tails has been spotted with NASA's Hubble telescope between Mars and Jupiter, astronomers said Thursday.

Instead of appearing as a small point of light, like most asteroids, this one has half a dozen comet-like dust tails radiating out like spokes on a wheel, said the report in Astrophysical Journal Letters.

"It's hard to believe we're looking at an asteroid," said lead investigator David Jewitt, a professor in the University of California Los Angeles Department of Earth and Space Sciences.

"We were dumbfounded when we saw it. Amazingly, its tail structures change dramatically in just 13 days as it belches out dust."

The object has been named P/2013 P5, and astronomers believe it has been spewing dust for at least five months.

Welcome!


You have reached the Home page of BartCop Entertainment.

Do you have something to say?
Anything that increased your blood pressure, or, even better, amused or entertained?

Do you have a great album no one's heard?
How about a favorite TV show, movie, book, play, cartoon, or legal amusement?
A popular artist that just plain pisses you off?
A box set the whole world should own?
Vile, filthy rumors about Republican hypocrites?

Just plain vile, filthy rumors?

In other words, submissions are welcome.
