Carnegie Deli Sets Reopening for September 15th Complete with a “Broadway Danny Rose” Sandwich and All the Old Showbiz Favorites

I told you the Carnegie Deli was coming back.

Now they tell me the big day is September 15th. They’ve a couple of blocks south on Seventh Avenue, to the old Stage Deli space.

And yes, there will be a “Broadway Danny Rose” sandwich. (Watch the movie.) It’s described as a “towering mix of pastrami and corned beef.” I’m already ordering it! Not to mention real New York cheesecake, brisket, all of it. Right in midtown!

Congrats! Now if only we could bring back some other much missed eateries, from the 21 Club to Luchows!

Carnegie Deli’s legendary Wall of Fame will return, with original photographs and original frames from the former restaurant. The walls will once again feature generations of famous guests, including Mel Brooks, Robin Williams, Stevie Wonder, Steven Spielberg, Conan O’Brien, Sarah Jessica Parker, Adam Sandler, Stanley Tucci and Jerry Seinfeld, Taylor Swift and Jonas Brothers along with a young Venus Williams famously holding her own signature sandwich in 1998. New notable guests will be added over time, continuing the Wall of Fame as a living record of the people who pass through Carnegie Deli’s doors.

Today, Carnegie Deli brand is owned by Parker’s granddaughter, Sarri Harper, third-generation and CEO. Under Harper, the family legacy has remained a fixture through nationwide shipping, Madison Square Garden, the U.S Open, Saratoga Race Course, Belmont Stakes and special collaborations, including its immersive The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel pop-up.

“We always knew the timing and the opportunity had to be right,” said Harper. “When the former Stage Deli space became available, it felt incredibly fitting. There’s so much New York deli history in this space, and the opportunity to continue that legacy on Seventh Avenue made this feel like the right next chapter for Carnegie Deli.”

See you on the 15th! Bring your cardiologist!

iTunes Chart Filled with AI Recordings — Newest Are from Ukrainian Inventor Who Goes by “Bob Dominator”

iTunes Chart Filled with AI Recordings — Newest Are from Ukrainian Inventor Who Goes by “Bob Dominator”

Meet Oleksandr Riabchuk.

He’s sitting somewhere in Ukraine making fake songs from AI and pushing them up iTunes.

He uses the name “Bob Dominator.”

“Bob” has the number 6 song right now called, “In My Soul,” which ironic since it has no soul. It’s from a machine.

Bob Dominator isn’t alone. Unmarked AI songs on iTunes are like a cancer and spreading fast. Other “artists” include River Cain, Still Heals, Imael Angel — who also is being used by real life DJ Hugel for his hit, KimoSounds, Rulo Soul, Dust and Harmony, and more.

The record companies have only themselves to blame for this situation. AI releases now take up a third of iTunes top 100. Another third is oldies. The labels have so little output and do so little marketing of new acts, that the chart — and radio — are gridlocked.

As for Riabchuk, he’s getting the last laugh making dozens of these AI “hits” and pawning them off as real. See his Facebook page.

CBS Trades on “60 Minutes” Past with New Season Trailer Featuring Long Dead Correspondents Mike Wallace, Morley Safer, Ed Bradley

Come on.

CBS News is now trying to exploit its glory days to promote the new version of “60 Minutes” coming Sunday.

The teaser features Mike Wallace, Morley Safer, and Ed Bradley — all of whom would be horrified by what has going on this year. Four correspondents are gone, three of them fired, much of the staff.

CBS News chief Bari Weiss and new EP Nick Bilton were very careful not to include any of their new, untested, and ill prepared people.

“South Park” Trolls Trump, Changes Name to “South America,” Announces New Season Starting Next Week, Calls Paramount “Skydance Capitulation”

The South Park guys are trolling Donald Trump anew.

They’ve announced a new season beginning next Wednesday, September 16th.

To commemorate it, they’ve changed the name of the show to “South America” in honor Trump’s idiotic renaming of Lake Ontario.

They’re calling Paramount “Skydance Capitulation.” Trey Parker and Matt Stone have a billion dollar deal with the company, so they will not be censored.

The most recent season just won the Emmy for Best Animated Series on TV. The season was a total, outrageous blast that emphasized Trump’s small penis and his love relationship with Satan.

Buckle up, kids!

Clive Davis’s $35 Mil Art Collection Going up For Auction in November Includes $2 Million Warhol Portrait of Aretha Franklin, Works by Basquiat, Hockney

It’s sad to say, but now it’s time for the Clive Davis estate auction of his art collection.

Davis left us in June at age 94, unbelievable to his friends who miss him dearly.

Christie’s is making the collection the centerpiece of its November auctions, and valued it at $35 million.

Among the artists involved aew Jean -Michel Basquiat, Fernando Botero, Jean Dubuffet, David Hockney, Hans Hofmann, Alex Katz, Joan Mitchell, Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, and more.

There’s a Warhol portrait of Aretha Franklin which will start the bidding at $2 million. It was also used as an album cover for Aretha. It hung in a prominent spot in Clive’s entry way he loved it so much.

Of course maybe the greatest painting is not in the collection. That’s David Hockney’s portrait of Davis that hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC.

Julia Roberts Trying Broadway Again After 20 Years In an Ensemble Play Produced by Scott Rudin, with Paul Rudd (Again) and Sarah Paulson

Julia Roberts Trying Broadway Again After 20 Years In an Ensemble Play Produced by Scott Rudin, with Paul Rudd (Again) and Sarah Paulson

Gosh, has it been 20 years?

In 2006, Julia Roberts made her Broadway debut in “Three Days of Rain” with Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper. The Oscar winner did not return to the stage after that go round, but she’s starred in plenty of movies.

This winter of 2027, Roberts will make her Broadway return — and again, with Paul Rudd. The play is Bess Wohl’s excellent “Small Mouth Words,” and will also star Sarah Paulson, Martin Freeman, Greta Lee, and Isaac Powell.

“Small Mouth Words” is directed by Joe Mantello, who is also directing “Downstate” right now on Broadway.

And the producer is none other than Scott Rudin, who looms around Broadway cancelled but making his way back after his horrendous treatment of everyone got him sent away in 2020. He nonetheless returned last season with the Tony winning production of “Death of a Salesman.”

I hope someone makes a documentary about this production. It would be so much fun.

“Small Mouth Words” previously played off Broadway in 2015. Since then, Wohl had a big success with “Liberation,” so this is a nice homecoming for her and the play.

Opening night is March 18th. Rudin will charge two arms and three legs for tickets, and the run is sure to be short, or the cast will likely change.

Listen: John Legend Pairs Up with Pharrell Williams for His Best Single in Years, “Daylight,” from New Album Collab Called “Muse”

John Legend has frustrated me for years.

He started out with a hot debut album, then sort of fell into a middle of the road track. He’s so talented as a singer and pianist, but his music sounded more and more like something in a dentist’s office.

Again, whenever I saw him live at a charity function, he was excellent.

So now he’s dropped his best single in years. “Daylight” is a collaboration with Pharrell Williams. They’ve made a whole album together called “Muse,” which will come in next month. If “Daylight” is representative, John may have his first big hit in years.

New “60 Minutes” Starts This Sunday Riding the Ratings Coattails of NFL Games: Will Viewers Stick with Much Changed Show?

New “60 Minutes” Starts This Sunday Riding the Ratings Coattails of NFL Games: Will Viewers Stick with Much Changed Show?

“60 Minutes” is coming back this Sunday.

But it won’t be recognizable in a lot of ways. Four long time correspondents are gone — Scott Pelley, Anderson Cooper, Cecilia Vega, and Sharyn Alfonsi.

There are a lot of new faces.

This is all thanks to CBS News chief Bari Weiss firing them all, and bringing in a new executive producer. (She also fired the EP, Tanya Simon.) It’s all part of the new conservative ownership of CBS under David Ellison and his billionaire father, Larry.

“60 Minutes” has endured horrific publicity this last six months. The public is aware of it. Ratings are down for CBS Evening News and CBS Mornings. Will that affect this 58 year old show?

It’s all about ratings, which will be closely watched Sunday. In the fall, “60 Minutes” gets a boost from the NFL game that bleeds right into. This Sunday, the NFL kicks off with two games — the Cardinals vs. the Chargers, and the Packers vs. the Vikings.

Last year, the first episode of “60 Minutes” benefited from the NFL and scored 10 million viewers. After that, the ratings went down and up and down again.The season average was 7.7 million. The big question will be if viewers stay with the hour or turn away. We already know that Jon Wertheim has a football segment. Norah O’Donnell has an exclusive interview with the fighter pilot who was shot down over Iran last April. The third segment hasn’t been announced yet. 

Stay tuned…

BAM! The Amazing Stevie Wonder Sets International 50th Anniversary Tour for “Songs in the Key of Life,” He’ll Play Famed Album in Entirety

Stop the presses!

Stevie Wonder is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his most beloved album, “Songs in the Key of Life.”

Yes, it’s been 50 freaking years since the double album won every award possible and became an all time classic.

Stevie will perform the whole album, plus of course a lot of his other hits. He could do a four hour show and no one would leave the theater.

According to his post this morning, the tour will begin in Birmingham on October 13 before travelling through Paris, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Hannover, Cologne, Amsterdam, Dublin, London, Manchester and Glasgow.

Stevie will then bring the celebration to North America, with performances scheduled in cities including New York, Chicago, Washington D.C., Toronto, Detroit and Los Angeles, where the currently announced run will conclude at the Intuit Dome on December 19.

To say we can’t wait is an understatement!
