...the Bio channel hopes that you do. Bio is looking to
expand its programming schedule for the new TV season with a number of new shows and pilots, including
Celebrity Ghost Stories.
The show will offer eight hour-long episodes featuring celebs like Carrie Fisher, Joan Rivers and Scott Baio talking about their real-life run-ins with ghosts.
OK, this show sounds crazy, but I'm gonna watch it anyway. I'll skip the Joan Rivers ep (she's nuts, so I buy that she sees ghosts, giant purple elephants and God knows what else all day), but I'm curious to hear what Carrie Fisher has to say.

Ah, Brad Garrett finally returns to television after playing Ray Romano's secret transsexual lover on Everybody Loves Raymond for nine seasons (I never watched the show, so I'm just assuming).

Anyone with an eye for detail knows that the Internet Movie Database isn't always accurate in
its bio or trivia sections. This isn't so much the fault of the site as it the fault of people who submit information,
but in the case of
My Name is Earl creator Gregory Thomas Garcia, he has only himself to blame. It seems that
Garcia actually submitted some information about himself for his IMDb page which stated he was the grandson of
Cantinflas, a Mexican comedian who passed away over ten years ago. The thing is, it's not true. Garcia was just having
a bit of fun, but that little tidbit has made it's way into a few news stories about him. I've always found the truth
to be overrated, anyway.
