Refusing To Sleep Through Fame
Joel Hodgson, the creator and original host of Mystery Science Theater 3000, entertained a packed house at Oak Cliff's Texas Theater Saturday night. It was a twofer, beginning with an introduction and screening of the show's classic "Pod People" episode, followed by Hodgson's new one-man showcase, "Riffing Myself." In his...

According to Railroad Commission of Texas documents, Irving,...
We return to the story of Danny Cantu, the middle-aged diesel mechanic who was preparing a sandwich in his South Dallas kitchen in 2010 when a flash-bang grenade punched through the backdoor.

Shortly after being sued last September by a neighbor for registering melissakingston.com and using it to email anti-Walmart screeds, inveterate Lower Greenville shit-stirrer Avi Adelman did something rather unprecedented: he agreed to cut it out. The temporary injunction he signed barred him from sending emails from the domain, redirecting traffic...
Just after midnight on Tuesday, Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff was driving his Ford pickup along State Highway 114 in Grapevine when police say he drunkenly crashed into an 18-wheeler, then a highway barrier. No one was injured. Ratliff, 31, refused a Breathalyzer test before bonding out of the Grapevine...
The set was a staged scene out of 1960s Miami, with slender tropical trees and full-length mirrors fencing in Joan Rivers' six-piece orchestra. The supper club vibe carried a timeless quality, easily projecting an era when audiences left dinner reservations at The Palm to see the circuit's biggest names in...

It's pretty rare for a band to wait nearly three decades to release its best album, but that's exactly what Testament did. Last summer saw the release of Dark Roots of Earth, Testaments tenth and most accomplished work. Melding the old school fire of the band's previous efforts with a...
Update at 12:29 p.m.: The Morning News Tanya Eiserer reports that Silva has confessed to the murder, telling police that, "I killed him because he put a flower on my door and tonight he had on a red hat so I decided I was going to kill him." Original post:...
There's something fishy going down under the golden arches. In February McDonald's will officially launch a new item on the Dollar Menu, Fish McBites, which will pair nicely with the Filet-O-Fish sandwich. In both items, the catch-of-the-day is always wild-caught Alaskan pollock. With 14,000 stores across the U.S., that's a...
As this final week in April comes to a close, we can all take a deep breath that we've conquered (a lot of) the festivals, survived the wannabe tornado season and seen the types of amazing concerts that Texas weather has so kindly afforded us. Oh -- no, no --...
It was the result everyone was expecting: Cowboys go on the road against an undefeated, incredibly disciplined team and get beat, exchanging a shovel for a backhoe as they try to quickly dig the grave for the 2012 season. For a while, though, it seemed as if the Gauchos might...

Honestly, when it started six years ago, Californication was provocative, ballsy and fun, with laugh-out-loud dialogue and plenty of smart musings about love, sex, family and responsibility. Over five seasons, anti-hero Hank Moody (David Duchovny) has drank and fucked his way through a series of Hollywood writing jobs, all the...
On Friday, Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst handed out his picks for the State Senate committees; from those assignments, we learned that "Agriculture, Rural Affairs and Homeland Security" is, for some mystifying reason, lumped together into one body. And in a move that's drawn a ton of attention and more than...
On November 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dealey Plaza, a half hour before he was scheduled to deliver a 1 p.m. speech at the Dallas Trade Mart. The words were never passed Kennedy's lips, but the speech survived and, a month later, was printed and bound into...
In 2003, Dr. Daniel Leong opened the South Dallas Community Medical Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, a few blocks from Fair Park. It was something of a second chance for Leong, who pleaded guilty to mail fraud in 1989 after he was caught writing prescriptions to supply his...
