"Fast & Furious 6" put its pedal to the metal with a $38.1 million Friday that has the Memorial Day weekend box office on a blistering record pace. The latest entry in Universal's muscle-car movie franchise could hit $120 million for the four-day weekend, and the overall box office is on track to top $300 million, which would easily outstrip the $276 million rung up in 2011, when "Hangover II" led the way with $85 million.

And then there were two. As Saturday broke in Cannes, 18 of the 20 films in competition for the Palme d'Or had screened. Only Jim Jarmusch's vampire movie "Only Lovers Left Alive" and Roman Polanski's presumably kinky "Venus in Fur" remained. And with the Jarmusch taking the 8:30 a.m. slot on the heels of its Friday sale to Sony Pictures Classics, reactions quickly began coming in on the latest film from the man who'd been to Cannes with "Stranger Than Paradise" and "Mystery Train."

Oddest Endorsement: Stephen King told Parade magazine that he doesn’t watch MAD MEN because it’s too soapy. “If I want a soap opera,” he added, “I watch REVENGE. That show is crazy, but they have great clothes. Most Optimistic: Asked how many seasons AMC imagines THE WALKING DEAD will run, exec Josh Sapan said he hoped “zombies live forever.” Topic That We Just Don’t Care About Anymore: Yet again, there’s endless discussion about who the new judges on sinking ship AMERICAN IDOL will be. Unless they’re bringing back Paula Abdul, we have two words on the subject: bored now. Least Self-Aware: In making a ridiculous plea for people to take him seriously as an artist at the Billboard Music Awards, Justin Bieber assured we’d do exactly the opposite. Worst Export: HONEY BOO BOO debuted in England this week, assuring once and for all that they will never, ever regret no longer being our parent country. Most Self-Actualized Series: Between THE BACHELOR’S FUNNIEST MOMENTS and an ad for THE BACHELORETTE touting the upcoming season’s “man-tears”, the reality franchise clearly realizes many of us watch not for the supposed romance but to mock it mercilessly. The “What’s Your Hurry?” Award Goes To…: BATES MOTEL, which burned through about three years worth of story in its just-concluded freshman season. Oddest Pairing: The folks at CMT proudly announced they’d be showing reruns of HELL’S KITCHEN, declaring the program to be a perfect fit. Apparently, like the cheftestants, country music singers also scream obscenities in funny accents when people can’t cook scallops. Worst Title: Although GIRLS star Lena Dunham isn’t thrilled with the porn parody of her series, she shouldn’t fret. Thanks to the title “This Ain’t Girls XXX”, it’s unlikely most people will even make the connection. Horn Least Likely To Be Tooted: While professional braggart Donald Trump loves nothing more than to tout his various achievements, we suspect he won’t be tweeting about the record-low ratings the CELEBRITY APPRENTICE finale received. Most In Need Of A Match.com Account: THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Brooke — needing a faux babydaddy for the child she conceived with her brother-in-law — turned to ex-hubby Eric. Turns out, there aren’t as many available men in L.A. as we’ve all been led to believe.  Best Stunt: Fictional White House speechwriter Sam Seaborn — aka THE WEST WING alum Rob Lowe — addressed the real-life White House press corp.  Proof The Television Ratings System Is Broken: Despite being among the most-watched shows on any network, both CSI: NY and VEGAS were axed by CBS because they failed to deliver in the demo. In other words,they’d rather have fewer happy viewers as long as said viewers are between 18 and 49.  Most Likely To Shoot Themselves In The Foot: If you are aware that Kei$ha’s MTV show features her drinking urine — or aware of her having a show at all — it’s likely because the Parent’s Television Council protesting said show got it a ton of publicity. Coolest Marathon: IFC will air 53 episodes of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT starting Saturday morning at 6 a.m. EST, perfectly timed for a catch-up session before new episodes debut on Netflix.

The latest episode of Orphan Black revealed a lot, although we still don’t know much about why the clones were created. In “Entangled Bank” we learn that there is more to Delphine and Dr. Leekie’s relationship than previously thought. Not only are they together, but he is manipulating Delphine. Dr. Leekie has her spying on Cosima beyond the usual surveillance that we have seen from the monitors at this point. Delphine is in pretty deep in it, and I think Dr. Leekie has something more over her than a transgression from her past. It seems she is being blackmailed in a big way. While waiting for Cosima to come back from the store, Delphine hacks her computer. Delphine discovers that not only does Cosima know of the other clones, but she has made contact with some of them. Delphine immediately calls Dr. Leekie to tell him of her discovery. She gives him the names of all the clones that Cosima knows of so far. These include Helena, Alison, and Katja. When Delphine mentions the name Sarah Manning, Dr. Leekie asks her what else Cosima knows about Sarah.  Delphine actually does something good, and says that Cosima doesn’t know anything about Sarah. This is a lie, because the page Delphine is looking at says that Sarah has a daughter named Kira, aged 7. Dr. Leekie tries to keep the conversation going, but Delphine says that Cosima is coming and hangs up on him. It is Dr. Leekie’s reaction to hearing Sarah’s name that now has me convinced that Sarah is the real original. Sarah makes a big decision in this episode … she confides in Mrs. S what is going on. That’s a big step for Sarah, because up until this point, the only person she trusted with her secret is Felix and of course the other clones. Art also progresses in his investigation. He goes to Mrs. S and tells her that Sarah is dead. Of course, he thinks this because the fingerprints that he and his partner found were a match to Sarah. As you can imagine, Mrs. S is not happy to hear this. She confronts Sarah and demands to know what the heck is going on. Sarah doesn’t tell her at first, but later in the episode Sarah realizes that she can’t keep Mrs. S in the dark forever. It’s at this point that she reveals the truth about the clones. We meet up with Olivier again in this episode as well. He is in hospital after having his tail cut off. And Paul figures out who Olivier really is. His real name is Kevin, and he has a number of sex related warrants against him in his home state of Washington. While Paul is talking to Olivier, trying to get information, Dr. Leekie comes by to pay Olivier a visit. The doctor is less than impressed that Olivier lost Sarah, and lets him know it. Unfortunately this is the last we will see of Olivier. One of Dr. Leekie’s henchmen disguised as an orderly poisons him. Olivier can’t do anything to stop it, since he is strapped facedown on a gurney so as to not put any pressure on the area where his tail used to be. It’s rather unfortunate that Olivier died, because he could have made a very interesting long-term baddie. There’s a third monitor thrown into the mix in this episode as well. Alison figures out that her monitor is one of her neighbours, Aynsley, not her husband Donny as she first thought. One of the best Alison moments happens in this episode – in her infinite wisdom, Alison sleeps with Aynsley’s husband, Chad. When Aynsley finds out, she tracks Alison down and the two of them get into a fight. This freaks Alison out, as she prides herself on being an upstanding, law-abiding citizen. In her shock, Alison turns to Sarah for help. This turns out to benefit both of them, because now Sarah has someone to show Mrs. S when she does decide to let her in on the secret. We previously saw Helena and Sarah trade coats so that Sarah could escape and Helena could exact revenge on Olivier. They still have each other’s coats in this episode. This doesn’t seem like anything significant, except that Sarah had a letter from Kira in her coat.

By short I mean two shifts. I was the emergency fill-in guy for one weekend in the spring of 2007. These were my first disc jockey shows in like fifteen years, and I haven't done one since. So I must have really impressed them. But I've had a lot of requests for this from radio freaks so on this holiday weekend I thought I'd post it.  I'm a little hesitant though.  You commenters have been

“CBS Sunday Morning” has been on something of a ratings renaissance. The Sunday morning show, which differentiates itself from the Sunday competition by focusing on feature stories and culture, had its best season in total viewers since the 1992-1993 season, and its best May sweeps since Nielsen “People Meters” were first used in 1987. “Sunday Morning” has been averaging 5.67 million viewers during the 2012-2013 season, up +8% from the 2011-2012 season. In the adults 25-54 demo, it has been averaging a 1.5 rating/07 share, up +7%. It was its best season in A25-54 since the 2009-2010 season. For sweeps, “Sunday Morning” was handily the top Sunday morning news program, averaging 5.57 million viewers, including a 1.5 rating/07 share in A25-54. In addition to being the best total viewer delivery since at least 1987, it had its best demo performance since 2007, and was up double digits compared to May of 2012.
