The song is said to be about Montell Jordan's height, who is 6'8", making him one of the tallest R&B artists.

from the page about Macaulay Culkin:

On September 17, 2004, Culkin was arrested in Oklahoma City for the possession of 17.3g of marijuana and two controlled substances, 16 mg of Xanax and 32 mg of clonazepam while listening to Huey Lewis and the News.

From John Badham's entry:

Badham had worked for television for years before his breakthrough in 1977 with Saturday Night Fever. Starring John Travolta and Fran Drescher, the film is recognized as the most representational of the 1970s disco era.

Really?

Hugh Grant

Grant dabbled in a variety of jobs: he wrote book reviews,[36] worked as assistant groundsman at Fulham Football Club

Badham had worked for television for years before his breakthrough in 1977 with Saturday Night Fever. Starring John Travolta and Fran Drescher, the film is recognized as the most representational of the 1970s disco era.

Really?

I guess it kinda makes sense, as Fran Drescher is (besides Travolta) pretty much the only actor in SNF who's still well known today.

Yeah, see, "starring" doesn't involve determining who might be famous X number of years down the road. If someone is in a movie for all of 30 seconds, "starring" doesn't enter into the discussion.

when I think SNF, I don't think Fran Drescher, at all

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trevor_Horn

During the 1980s, Trevor Horn wore large nerd style glasses, which were then in fashion, when he performed. He stopped wearing such glasses in the 1990s, but still wears hard-framed glasses whenever he performs. One of his jokes, beyond wearing the large glasses, was that he was "a camera," consistent with his hits, "Video Killed the Radio Star" and "I Am A Camera".

The album was even better than his previous album Brainstorm , had two classic club bangers, the title track 'Whats the flavor' and 'We can do this', and further cemented Young MC as a hit maker.

his grandson Tommy Fraser is a professional footballer,[2] currently captain of League Two side Port Vale. According to legend, when he was at Brighton, Tommy was asked by a local reporter if his grandfather ever came to watch him play. "No," came the reply. "But he reads your reports and he was unhappy you only gave me six out of 10 last week." Tommy never got less than seven again.

fuckin legernd

wonder if he gets 'the boys' to 'have a word' with opposition players before each game?

Ian Stewart shows up quite a bit in the late 60s and early 70s. graph.fail.org

Buffalo wings were also mentioned fairly early on Bartles & James wine advertisements; the actor in the spots seemed confused, thinking that he had never seen a buffalo fly.

In the episode "Calling All Customers", Mrs. Slocombe calls a lonely trucker on Mr. Humphries’ CB radio, setting up perhaps the most intricate "pussy" joke of the series. The trucker tells her he’s hauling dynamite, and proceeds to ask her about her interests. She notes gardening, but that her pussy is her favorite hobby. She exclaims that she has a mantel full of trophies and that it wins a medal every time she shows it. Then follows the sound of screeching tires and an explosion. Mr. Humphries laments, "He’s pulled off for a coffee".

Hurrah for youtube...

On March 8, 1983, Holland filed for divorce. Under California's community property laws, she was entitled to 50 percent of all the assets accumulated during the marriage, even though Carson earned virtually 100 percent of the couple's income. (Since, under the community property provisions of California law, each party legally earns half for themselves and half for their spouse.)

Not so much an unusual detail as an intriguing piece of redundance

Cyndi Lauper's mid-tempo ballad cover version of "When You Were Mine" is also synthesizer-based. Lauper did not change the pronoun gender in the song lyrics, which caused it to allude that the lost love to whom she is singing is a gay man who came out of the closet and is having a new affair with another man, or to a bisexual male lover.

From the entry on Chuck Clayton: "In stories where he plays sports, Chuck is usually seen with an afro, while in stories where he is focused on drawing he sports a flat top."

In 1921, Andrew Kanelos was inspired by the frosty majesty of the Andes Mountains. Dumbstruck with inventive genius, Andrew or Andy as he was known by his friends, decided to bring this same beauty to people's mouths everywhere when he yelled from the infamous Dead Man's peak "I'll put that magic in your mouth."

hahaha

not really unusual but intersting - I had no idea this was why Lester retired.

(from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Kinnear)

On 19 September 1988, Kinnear fell from a horse during the filming of The Return of the Musketeers in Toledo, Spain, sustaining a broken pelvis. He was taken to hospital in Madrid, and died from a heart attack the following day. He was 54 years old. The film's director, Richard Lester, quit his own film career as a direct result of Kinnear's death.

it's the first picture's caption that's just killing me
