I hope Jeff is doing all right. I saw him on "Celebrity Rehab" and was a bit worried. The last I saw of him was an interview he did after the show ended and he looked even worse - very thin and frail looking.

I saw him at the last show in April, and he did look very thin and sick, and I believe he was using a cane to help him walk. I heard him tell another celebrity that he was getting better, but I don't really know what caused his state.

I missed the first couple of episodes of "Celebrity Rehab" so I didn't get the whole story of why he was there. From what I can gather he's had some very serious back problems and became addicted to painkillers. He's also a recovering alcoholic. During most of the show he sat in a wheelchair and slept in a chair instead of a bed because it was so painful to stand up straight.

The first three top celebrities for the July Burbank show have been announced:

Celeste Holm
Ed Begley Jr.
Tyrone Power Jr. (Not sure why he's considered a top celebrity.)

They've also added a Three Stooges reunion with a bunch of the leading ladies and a couple members of Shemp's family.

Still no huge names announced for the show, but here's some of the latest.

Added to the Grease reunion: Edd Byrnes

Keith Thibodeaux (I Love Lucy)
Jack O'Halloran (Superman 1 & 2)

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! reunion:
Tura Satana
Haji Catton

Ghost Hunters International reunion:
Robb Demarest
Barry Fitzgerald

For the July Burbank show, they've just added a "Welcome Back Kotter" reunion with:
Robert Hegyes (Juan Epstein)
Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs (Freddie Washington)
Ron Palillo (Arnold Horshack).

With a "Grease" reunion and now the "Welcome Back Kotter" reunion, it sure looks like they might be trying hard to get John Travolta to do the show.

Two "top" names added to the July Burbank show:
Tori Spelling
Dean McDermott

Also added:
Kane Hodder

Just added to the July Burbank show: Paula Abdul.

Paula Abdul has cancelled her appearance at next week's show.
Right now, the headliners are Tori Spelling, Dean McDermott, Celeste Holm, and Ed Begley jr. This is definitely the worst lineup in the 3 years I've been attending this show.

Edit: I just noticed that the Ghost Hunters aren't listed for the show anymore either.

I just returned from the April Burbank show. Definitely the poorest celebrity lineup in the 3 years that I've been attending the show. But, at least I didn't have lines for any of the celebrities I wanted to meet, so I finally had enough time to check out what the vendors had for sale.

Here's my in-person autograph haul:


Robert Hegyes, Ron Palillo, and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs


Barry Pearl and Eddie Deezen


Jamie Donnelly


Annette Cardona

I also picked up these autographs out of a $10 clearance bin:


Jerry Mathers


Emilio Estevez

I was only at the show for 1 and a half hours, so I spent the rest of the day at the LA Zoo and Universal Studios.

One other note: While I was there, the Sweathogs were signing sticker sheets for Donruss Americana.
