Pretty in Pink actor Andrew McCarthy (pictured, via) has landed a deal with Simon & Schuster’s Free Press imprint to write a memoir on “the transformative power of travel.”
According to the release, the book will discuss McCarthy’s journeys to seven exotic locations from the Amazon to Kilimanjaro. Senior editor Alessandra Bastagli negotiated the deal with Kuhn Projects literary agent David Kuhn.
McCarthy had this statement: “Simply put, travel has changed the chemistry of who I am. It has rewritten the internal map of my life and consequently, altered the lens through which I see the world. In my experience, the power of travel to liberate and transform knows no limits.”
We decided to borrow Slate's letter writing format between its TV critics as a way for me (a Gen Xer) and Ypulse's managing editor Meredith Sires (a Gen Yer) to talk about what John Hughes' passing has meant to both of us….It was kind of a fun... Read the rest of this post
I love The Breakfast Club, I adore Ferris, the Vacation movies are still a must watch, and I need to see Some Kind of Wonderful again, but this was and always will be my favourite John Hughes movie. I demanded the hairdresser cut my hair like Andie's and I made myself a dress just like hers - only mine was black because well hers was pink... Sad, sad day.

An excellent talent who burned out far too early. His work will last forever though, far longer than most of the 'blockbuster' movies they are releasing this summer.
Lego Rock Band (officially comes out this Christmas. Featured songs include "Kung Fu Fighting", "Song 2″ by Blur and Europe's "The Final Countdown" (?). Plus Targeting Kids offers another take on the Burger King- Sponge Bob controversy)... Read the rest of this post

A really sad day. I still can't quite believe it. Only 59. That's no age to die. But it never is, is it? :(
I loved Sixteen Candles.
I really liked his '80's comedies. There was always an important underlying message to be had. Ferris is still my favourite...
RIP indeed. I watched the Breakfast Club about 10 zillion times growing up. Sad news...

It's one of those news reports you have to read twice because you can't believe it's true.
RIP, for real. Bender is still one of my favorite movie characters ever.
i am all about the breakfast club. RIP
I think I saw most, if not all, of his films in the theater. What a loss. Many of those films were like slices out of my teenage life.
Now that was a sassy redhead : )
The Vacation movies rock! I have The Breakfast Club on DVD too. In fact all of his movies rock.
