In Other LA Press Club News
I'm a finalist in three categories in tonight's LA Press Club Awards. Don't laugh -- two of them are for headlines. I'm a big fan of the guy who writes the New York Post's -- the best ever (at least, that I've seen) being "Headless Body In Topless Bar," and I crack my skull every week trying to write good ones.
Here are my nominations. I'm up against my good friend Andrew Gumbel in one category.

My two favorites headlines, both from The Onion:
Holy Shit! Man Lands On The Fucking Moon!
&
(big letters) Jesus Returns
(smaller letters) To The N.B.A.
Good luck- I do like the "Cain Enabled" and "Show Me The Mummy" equally. I think the "Star Trek Bit Players Cling On" is a shoo in.
