  • Billy Crystal to Take the Field with the Yankees | Today's News: Our Take | 3/11/2008
    To celebrate his 60th birthday, funnyman — and avid New York Yankees fan — Billy Crystal will suit up in pinstripes and play for his beloved team. Crystal will sign a one-day, minor-league contract that allows him to play for the Yankees in Thursday's exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Tampa. Though manager Joe Girardi hasn't decided Crystal's role in the lineup, the City Slickers star will wear No. 60 as another tribute to his age.According to the Yankees, Crystal hit .348 and was captain during his senior year at Long Beach High School in New York. In addition to rooting for the Bronx Bombers at Yankee Stadium, Crystal also directed 61, a movie about the 1961 Yankees and Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle's race to break Babe Ruth's home-run record. — Adam Bryant read more
  • Oscars Poll: You Really Like Sally Field (and Billy Crystal) | Today's News: Our Take | 2/19/2008
    As anticipation for this Sunday's 80th Academy Awards grows, some Oscar fans just can't help looking back. In a survey by Parade magazine, readers were asked to pinpoint the most memorable moments from the show's 80-year history as well as sound off on this year's races. Categories included everything from most memorable acceptance speech — which went to Sally Field's "You like me right now!" declaration — to the viewers' preferred host of the annual event, where Billy Crystal was the landslide winner.Richard Gere and Sandra Bullock came away as the fans' favorite actor and actress to never receive an Oscar nod, while (shocker, not!) 69 percent of readers want the acceptance speeches cut shorter. Looking toward this weekend's ceremony, George Clooney (Michael Clayton) and Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth: The Golden Age) are your picks in the lead-acting contests, while No Country for Old Men has the viewers' support for best picture.

  • Billy Crystal Seeks a Mahvelous Late-night Gig | Today's News: Our Take | 8/15/2007
    Saludos, my night owls.... Billy Crystal and his peeps are reportedly on the prowl for a late-night-TV hosting gig. The big question, of course, is where . "Billy was initially set on Conan O'Brien's slot when Conan takes over... The Tonight Show [in 2009]," a source tells the New York Post's Page Six. "But even if that didn't work out, he would do something in syndication." Billy's ask: $20 mil over five years. My ask: be better than Chevy.** To be fair, I'm midway through Chevy's biography, and he didn't get to do the kind of show he wanted. read more
  • Billy Crystal Makes His Mark... Twain | Today's News: Our Take | 5/1/2007
    And he feels mahvalous about it! Funnyman Billy Crystal will receive the 10th-annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on October 11, in a star-studded (and hopefully laugh-filled) gala to be broadcast on PBS at a later date, says Playbill.com. Prior recipients include fellow Oscar host Whoopi Goldberg and SNL VIPs Lorne Michaels and Steve Martin. The Twain Prize recognizes "people who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist and essayist." The parallels between City Slickers and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? Startling. — Reporting by Raven Snook read more
