PBS gives 4-hour look at `The Supreme Court`
DAILY JOURNAL, JOHNSON COUNTY, IND. PBS gives 4-hour look at ‘The Supreme Court’ L isten to cable news, talk radio and popular televangelists, and you frequently hear criticism of the courts. This is hardly new. As “The Supreme Court” (9 p.m., WFYI, WTIU, concludes next Wednesday) makes clear, battles over the power and influence of Supreme Court decisions have been going on since the days of the founding fathers. “Supreme” offers a thoughtful survey history of more than two centuries of constitutional law and history, from the precedent-setting conflicts between John Marshall and presidents Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson to the Dred Scott debacle; the court’s use of the 14th Amendment to protect property rights during the Gilded Age to the Civil Rights era of the mid-20th century and the Rehnquist court of the past three decades. “Supreme” artfully blends talking-head commentary with period art, historic re-creations and photomontages to present an attractive visual accompaniment to thought-provoking history and commentary. In addition to legal experts, constitutional scholars and biographers of justices, “Supreme” features observations by retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and current Chief Justice John G. Roberts. Roberts touches on a theme that runs throughout the program’s four-hour run: the idea that the court both reflects and at times runs counter to the popular will of the moment. • Bravo offers “Top Design” (11 p.m., Bravo), a blatant new clone of “Project Runway.” This misfire does not approach the entertainment level of “Runway,” but at least it does little to blemish our memory of the original product. Set in the world of interior design, “Top” features famous designer Todd Oldham as host. As you can expect, the show invites 12 designers from all over the country to share a posh Los Angeles barracks and compete with each other to please picky clients and face elimination rounds. The creative gulf between “Top” and “Runway” emerges almost immediately. On “Runway,” designers are given a modest amount of money to buy fabric so they can create original outfits. In their very first assignment, the “Top” designers are given $50,000 and sent to a fancy design center to buy furniture and accessories for a relaxation center for a mystery client. There is a vast difference between creating stuff and buying stuff. “Runway” is not without its product placements, but “Top” seems like one long product placement, featuring more than its share of annoying personalities. “Top” proves that big egos plus big budgets equals a big bore.

Lopez filed a Superior Court breach of contract suit nine months ago and LOPEZ got a restraining order barring Noa from publishing intimate details of their sex life. She asked for arbitration. Noa’s ghostwritten book alleges Lopez had multiple affairs, including one with her third and current husband, singer Marc Anthony, court documents show. Superior Court Judge Victor H. Person agreed with Lopez’s lawyer, Paul N. Sorrell, that Noa was bound to arbitration under terms of a 2005 settlement of another lawsuit. LOS ANGELES Brandy could be charged in fatal L.A. car crash The California Highway Patrol recommended that actress-singer Brandy be charged with misde- meanor vehicular manslaughter in a freeway crash that killed a woman motorist last month, a city attorney’s spokesman said. The patrol referred the matter to the city attorney’s office for review, said spokesman Nick BRANDY Velasquez. “The office is currently reviewing the case and determining whether the evidence warrants the filing of a misdemeanor charge of vehicular manslaughter,” Velasquez said. Brandy’s spokeswoman said the singer wasn’t under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the crash. LOS ANGELES Hilton sues site that displays personal items Paris Hilton filed a federal lawsuit seeking to shut down a Web site that displays photos, videos, diaries and other belongings she once kept at a storage facility. The Web site was launched last week claiming the items were auctioned off after Hilton neglected to pay the storage facility. It also promises visitors who pay a fee of $39.97 access to Hilton’s passport, medical records and other documents.

At a recent reunion of the cast of the 1960s TV comedy “McHale’s Navy,” the actors were appalled at the arrival of their former commandant. A driver helped Ernest Borgnine from the car. The once-exuberant Lt. Cmdr. Quinton McHale was stooped over and walked haltingly, muttering gibberish. His former ensign, comedian Tim Conway, rushed forward and exclaimed, “Ernie, what has happened to you?” Suddenly Borgnine straightened up, threw out his massive chest and bellowed, “What’s going on here?” followed by his signature high-decibel laugh. Prankster Borgnine shows little evidence of aging despite celebrating his 90th birthday on Jan. 24. His round, pudgy face is little changed. His only concession to age was abandoning the bus he used to drive around the country. “I gave up the bus when I was 88,” he said. “I figured if I had an accident, I could be sued for plenty. Now I take cruises. I just returned from one that started in Auckland, New Zealand, and visited a lot of islands.” AP PHOTO Actor Ernest Borgnine recently turned 90. He starred in “McHale’s Navy.” Borgnine was born in Hamden, Conn., to Italian parents. They divorced when he was 2, and his mother took him to live in Italy. He returned to the United States five years later and joined the Navy in 1935. He was discharged in 1941, then re-enlisted when World War II started. “I never considered being an actor until I was 28,” he said. “When I was home from the Navy after the war, my mother said, ‘Have you ever thought of becoming an actor?’ I decided to give it a try.” He joined a drama company in Hartford, Conn., then spent five years at the Barter Theater in Abingdon, Va. Hollywood discovered Borgnine as a heavy. He was the soldier who beat Frank Sinatra to a pulp in “From Here to Eternity” and the outlaw who menaced one-armed Spencer Tracy in “Bad Day at Black Rock.” Then along came “Marty.” Paddy Chayefsky, author of the original TV drama, and director Delbert Mann scouted actors, including Borgnine.

Result: Oscars for best picture and for Borgnine, Mann and Chayefsky. Asked about today’s movies, Borgnine responded: “I don’t like ’em. Oh, there are some good ones that come along. I liked the two pictures that Clint Eastwood made. ‘The Queen’ is very good. I liked ‘Bobby.’ But the majority...” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Don’t miss out on this great day trip!
