Pro Football HOFer TERRY BRADSHAW is on a national tour with his "fast-paced, 90-minute variety format show of comedy, storytelling, singing and dancing, accompanied by back-up vocalists and dancers." The show, "Terry Bradshaw: America's Favorite Dumb Blonde ... A Life in Four Quarters," will be "sharing tales about growing up in Louisiana, his four Super Bowl rings, three marriages, toupee-modeling days and broadcasting and acting careers." Bradshaw said, "This is a fun show, not a Terry Bradshaw-CHUCK NOLL head-butt thing. You'll actually like it. It's gotten to where it is exciting to make people laugh and think about their life and laugh at you and themselves. I'm cool with people laughing at me. Let's have some fun. And you don't have to wonder if I'm gonna screw up, because I am" (PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW, 6/10).
"GIRL" POWER: Dodgers P CLAYTON KERSHAW appeared on MLB Network’s “Intentional Talk” yesterday and discussed his cameo on Fox' “NEW GIRL” this past season. He said, “You're there from 5:30pm to 5:30am, so we were there all night. It probably took 20 cuts. I probably messed up about 18 of them, but they finally got one good one and we rolled with it.” MLB Net’s Kevin Millar asked, “Are they just that neurotic, the producers?” Kershaw: “They're a little bit anal about their stuff. Twenty-two minutes of show, it takes a week to produce, so they kind of have to be." Millar later asked, “Did they get you your own trailer or did they treat you like a little extra?” Kershaw: “I did get a trailer. I felt pretty big time” (“Intentional Talk,” MLB Network, 6/9).
