ALICIA SILVERSTONE PETA AD
PETA aimed to debut the 30-second spot in Texas on Wednesday night on channels including FoodTV and E! But a spokesman said the animal-rights organization learned at the last minute that the content didn't make it past the censors at Comcast Spotlight, the advertising and sales division of Comcast Cable.
That led to some speculation about why the ad wouldn't fly in Cattle Country. (You may recall that the Lone Star State's beef barons took Oprah Winfrey to task for allegedly backhanding their industry. The O prevailed.)
But Dana Runnells, a Comcast spokeswoman, said it had nothing to do with the message. It was all about the medium. "It was rejected because it did not meet our guidelines . . . no nudity, no matter the advertiser." She noted noted that Comcast has carried PETA ads in the past.
PETA spokesman Michael McGraw said he was disappointed by the decision, although the flap has no doubt fueled the spike in traffic to the PETA website this week. "It's increasingly hard to get serious news into the media," he said. "We're increasingly working with our many celebrity supporters to put a lighthearted or fluffy spin on an issue."
PETA chose Houston as the place to first air the commercial because it often ranks high on the list of cities with unhealthy eating habits.
The Hoff
On May 3, 2007, a video surfaced of Hasselhoff apparently in mid-stupor.[8] The new video shows him shirtless, lying on the floor, drunkenly trying to focus on a Wendy's hamburger in a Las Vegas hotel room. His daughter Taylor Ann, who shot the video, can be heard saying "Tell me you are going to stop, tell me you are going to stop." The daughter also warned her father that he could be jeopardizing his spot in the Las Vegas production of The Producers.[9] Hasselhoff issued a statement, in the wake of the leaked video, that it was released deliberately. Hasselhoff claims that it was filmed by Taylor Ann so that he could see how he appeared and acted when intoxicated.[10] Hasselhoff's visitation rights with his two daughters were suspended on May 7, 2007 because of the video; the suspension lasted until May 21, 2007, at which point the video's authenticity and distributor was determined

Screech Goes Porn
Samuel "Screech" Powers
Played by Dustin Diamond, Screech (whose real name is Samuel Powers) is the school nerd. Screech has been tagging along with Zack since they were in elementary school and is extremely loyal to him. In exchange for doing Zack's homework and being roped into Zack's various stunts, Screech receives protection from school bullies and a general boost in his confidence; but Zack's affection for Screech is evident in spite of this. He is very comfortable with his geekiness and fancies himself a ladies' man. The rest of the gang simultaneously picks on and humors Screech for his eccentricities (e.g. hiding in his locker, wearing extremely loud and mismatched clothes, and obsessing over science and chess). Though clumsy and goofy, Screech is very smart. A recurring gag in the series is his unrequited love for Lisa Turtle. In several early episodes of the series, Screech has an anthropomorphized robot named Kevin, which he programmed. Diamond was three years younger than most of the cast though his character was the same age as them. Screech was class valedictorian, but gave that title to Jessie as a sign of goodwill, which she then returned on graduation day.
