Fox and Saum at Samsung Event

1 THE ONION: RNC Coverage: No Children Left Behind Kelly at The Onion writes: "I want to bring you up to date on the latest developments from the X-Cel Center in the City of Saints. Some of them are shocking indeed. Republicans have long valued the value of Commitment. And today they are honoring those of us who have made a commitment to children—"ALL MY CHILDREN"—by providing free Convention Access to the Emmy-winning daytime drama. I can report to you at this hour that Kendall Hart (she's bold, impulsive, and unwilling to take any crap) agrees to go with Zach Slater (Stoic Man of Honor, but with a Heart of Gold) to his beach house. After passionate love-making, she needs to go back to work but he insists they need time for them and should ignore the outside world. Zach is like a broken record, repeating that Kendall is spending too much energy on others and not their relationship. He thinks she's scared, and alludes to problems in their marriage. Kendall denies and claims their marriage is perfectly sound. It is a sad contrast that men like Zach are scarcely to be found on the American Political Landscape. We could use a man like him in office—and, yes, even the highest office in the land. Kendall should stop and realize what she's throwing away." CADY MCCLAIN: Back to school "I’m going back to school this fall and I’m pretty excited about it. Some writing classes and a class on the Paris-Berlin connection. It’s always weird to go back to school when you are older but f@*$ it. What can I do, turn back the clock? Noooooo. So, in I go again." 1 Don Diamont balances Y&R with his real-life role as Palisadian dad Several deaths in the Diamont family unit helped the actor make peace with his heritage. He learned that his mother's cousin had been injected with gasoline at Auschwitz. Dying of cancer in 1987, Diamont's father lamented raising his children without a cultural identity. When Diamont's brother, Jack, was diagnosed with a brain tumor two years later, the siblings decided on a joint bar mitzvah. Only Diamont made it to Stephen S. Wise Temple's bima, from which he paid tribute to his late sibling. More recently, Diamont's sister, Bette, succumbed to cardiac arrest, and his mother died of emphysema in 2006. Diamont struggled to work. 'It is ironic that as my mother passed, my TV mother has just been introduced on the show,' he said at the time. No doubt, millions of women would like to bed down bad boy Brad Carlton, but his real-life doppelganger is spoken for. Diamont's wife is Cindy Ambuehl, 43, who starred as Renee Peterson on the long-running primetime series 'JAG,' also on CBS. Rounding out the Diamont-Ambuehl nest in Santa Monica Canyon are the couple's twin boys, Anton and Davis, 5; and Diamont's children from a previous relationship, Lauren, 19, Sasha, 16, Alexander, 13, and Luca, 7. Diamont's Tulane-bound nephew, 19, the son of the actor's late sister, also lives with them. New '90210' debuts: The best surprise is no surprise What higher praise could "90210" aspire to?

LYNN LICCARDO: On Meeting ATWT's Helen Wagner "Now I knew perfectly well that the woman sitting behind the table was Helen Wagner, the actor, not Nancy Hughes, the character. But my brain was seized by the cognitive dissonance of seeing her out of context." INTERVIEW: AMC's Michael E. Knight Knight, who has played Tad on ALL MY CHILDREN since the early 1980s, appeared on "Stardish Radio" last night. 1 TOM CASIELLO: Soap Art "Thanks, Maria and Hogan... and the entire cast and crew of YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. When Tuesday's episode ended, I felt like I'd just been moved by an incredible painting in a museum." 90210: Old number, same whiny, rich "What it is -- just like the original -- is a likable, 'of its time' depiction of silver spoon teenagers living the high life with an appealing Cinderella subtext to make it accessible to the gum-snappin' riff raff who make up 99 per cent of the viewing audience." HOLLYOAKS stars say goodbye HOLLYOAKS gorgeous boys and girls took a break from filming to take over Chaya for a night.

Finally! Something Original On Daytime!

Mushroom hunting! Yes, AS THE WORLD TURNS' Lucinda Walsh is going mushroom hunting today. And just think, it wasn't that long ago when she gave this brilliant answer in a Soap Opera Digest Interview: Digest: Is there a story that you've wanted to tell but haven't? Passanante: Not really. That's really an unusual thing to say on a soap, but no. We joke around sometimes about preposterous ideas, but the things that we've actually talked about doing, we've either done or we're going to do or we're thinking about doing. Well, I guess she finally was able to come up with something new. At least it looks funny.
