Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin to co-host Oscars

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are taking on the Oscars.

Cat survives after being shot in head with arrow

BC the cat survived, but likely used up one of his nine lives when someone shot an arrow through his head. The 2-year-old gray and white tabby came home one day last week looking like he was doing a bad imitation of the Steve Martin skit from the 1970s. BC's arrow was pointing front-to-back rather than side-to-side.

Moment-by-moment recap of the Oscars

Welcome to the “Slumdog Millionaire” awards. I’ll be telling you really important things you need to know about what goes down, just in case you’re not actually watching. Or maybe you are watching — and reading this and Tweeting and at a party and playing Oscar Bingo and voting in a pool all at once. Maybe you’re that able.

Review: Martin's `Panther 2' a declawed comedy

If there's a huge error behind "The Pink Panther 2" — other than the mistake of producing the sequel in the first place — it's pairing Steve Martin with John Cleese, then failing to capitalize on their potentially explosive verbal exchanges.

‘Pink Panther 2’ is a total waste of time

A quick tip for those MGM executives so starved of new ideas that they’re plundering the vaults for properties, like “The Pink Panther,” to remake: Blake Edwards is still alive. And yes, the genius behind the original “Panther” movies may have eventually run that franchise into the ground, but I’d still rather watch the one with Roberto Benigni as Clouseau’s son than endure another go-round with Steve Martin lazily hamming it up.

What happened? Steve Martin isn’t funny

Steve Martin’s got a banjo album coming out, his first all-music recording. This isn’t a joke. Anyone old enough to remember Martin’s stand-up days, anyone who bought his “Let’s Get Small” comedy record, knows that he’s pretty accomplished on that instrument. Dolly Parton is on the new album. Now, I don’t buy lots of banjo-based recordings. But if forced to choose between music featuring Steve Martin and any recent movie starring the man, I’ll bet on the banjo.

His albums rank with music stars on the sales charts, he's hosted "Saturday Night Live" multiple times, he was the leading man in the recent film "Employee of the Month."
