Actor and comedian, Tom Arnold, is in Springfield, IL, this weekend for four show at Donnie B's Funny Bone Comedy Club.

This shot followed last night's second show as he visited with fans, took pictures, and signed lots of autographs. He also had t-shirts for sale, one of which said, next to a caricature of Tom, "It could be worse, YOU could be Tom Arnold."

Just like this author, Tom knows and loves his watches. He was sporting a mammoth Invicta Corduba on the left wrist last night.

Just back from seeing the movie, The Blind Side, at one of our local movie houses. This former college football coach and current television commentator has a cameo role in the flick.

Phil Fulmer posed for this shot earlier this month on December 8 as he arrived at the College Football Hall of Fame Luncheon at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. Fulmer led the University of Tennessee to a National Championship in 1998. He compiled a 152-52 record in 16 seasons for the Volunteers.

Out with the old and in with the new at Good Morning America.

George Stephanopoulos is the new co-host of the ABC morning show. He replaces Diane Sawyer who is replacing Charles Gibson on ABC World News Tonight. Stephanopoulos stopped for this photo as he was leaving the Trump Towers two weeks ago during my recent trip to New York.

This shot with Sawyer was from one year ago as the Good Morning America team was at Bryant Park to learn how to ice skate.

I wrapped up a short trip to New York last night by meeting actress Carrie Fisher following the performance of her play Wishful Drinking at Studio 54. Fisher was in a great mood as she chatted with fans about the play and about her life. She signed playbills and posters from the show. And, she posed for this great shot.

I'll have more photos and stories from the trip in the weeks to come.

Catching up from a week ago tonight . . . here's actress Melissa Gilbert as she departs from the Fox Theater in St. Louis following the opening night performance of the play, Little House on the Prairie. Gilbert has the role of "Ma" in the production; she was Laura in the original TV series.

This shot was just inside the backstage door of the theater thanks to an invitation by one of St. Louis' finest. As Gilbert walked out the door, she ignored a request to sign a couple of 8 x 10s, but then decided to sign after I asked a second time.

Actor and comedian Robin Williams stopped by Braden Auditorium on the campus of Illinois State University for a sold-out performance of his Weapons of Self-Destruction Tour last night, and he stopped for a large group of collectors and fans upon his arrival.

He signed multiple autographs and posed for everyone. Robin signed this photo of us from the Late Show with David Letterman this past May and a vinyl copy of his comedy album, "Robin Williams: Throbbing Python of Love."

Kudos to Robin! I must say this beats paying $350 for his official "meet and greet."

Oscar-winning (1994's Ed Wood) actor Martin Landau was in Chicago this past weekend as the special guest at the Chicago International Film Festival for a Sunday screening of his new movie, Lovely, Still.

I met Landau as he arrived at his downtown hotel with his daughter and grandson. He signed one autograph for myself and for two other collectors and then posed for this shot.

Landau, who is best known for his roles in Mission Impossible and in Space: 1999, was Gene Roddenberry's first choice to play Spock on Star Trek.
