Grace notes from Vinny Marino:
There will be no street named after MICHAEL JACKSON in the Motor City after all. The Detroit Free Press says a stretch of Randolph Street was supposed to be renamed for the late entertainer on Friday, but a small glitch got in the way. Originally, the street was going to honor all of the Jackson brothers, but the Detroit City Council ruled that a street can only honor one person, not a group or organization. Michael Jackson Avenue was going to be a compromise, but now the whole thing is off. The JACKSON 5 were signed to Motown 50 years ago. (Marino)
Stars and their movies:
JEFF GOLDBLUM is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this morning at 11:30 am (Pacific) in front of the Hologram USA Theatre at 6656 Hollywood Boulevard.
Of course we all remember Jeff from motion pictures including the "Jurassic Park" series, "Independence Day," "The Big Chill," and "The Fly" as well as ""Nashville" and "Annie Hall." ED BEGLEY, Jr, will be helping unveil the star in the ceremony, which will also plug his upcoming sequel "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom," which opens up next weekend, on Fri, Jun 22.Today's police blotter:
Apparently it's possible to get your head stuck in a tailpipe.
That's exactly what happened to a young woman visiting a music festival in Winsted, Minnesota, this week. Firefighters used a power saw to cut the unidentified woman loose after she stuck her head in a truck's oversized exhaust pipe. Video of her ordeal has been posted online. Police say they have no idea how she got her head stuck in the first place but they think alcohol was a factor. The girl was cited for underage drinking and escorted out of the festival. (Still)
