BEVERLY HILLS - Due to the unprecedented far-reaching response to a recent news item in "The Spoof" ("FDR, We Only Thought We Hardly Knew Ye!," dated 1 August 2010), which -- at least based on the collective calculations of both the always reliable "Spoof-O-Meter" and the newly installed "Smarmatron 2000 Ratings System" -- was found to have been read (in its entirety) by apparently three-and-a-ha...

In keeping with the gut-check spirit of the latest annual motion picture arts and sciences taffy pull, it's seems only fitting that we finally, at long last, get the first official gander at what some local bargain hunters apparently found wedged inside the bottom drawer of a desk purchased at a recent Bruce McNall garage sale.
