Tom Selleck is haunted by a "Magnum, P.I." poster he still wishes he hadn't agreed to be photographed for because it's the one fans seem to want signed more than any other.

The ageing hunk admits he was reluctant to pose for the Hawaiian hammock-themed shoot but signed on to be "a nice guy."

And he's regretted his decision ever since.

He explains, "They put me in a hammock between two palm trees and I had on a purple Hawaiian shirt... and they gave me one of those pineapples that are cut off with a big straw and an umbrella.

"I said, 'I don't wanna do this', and they said, 'Oh, come on,...

Tom Selleck is urging movie executives keen to adapt his hit TV series "Magnum P.I." into a film to tread carefully - because the show is too important to become another shoot-'em-up blockbuster.

The actor admits he keeps hearing about a film version of the hit 1980s show but he hasn't been asked to be a part of it.

And he's reluctant to give any such project the thumbs up until he knows for sure it will honor the hit TV series and not mock it or his character.

He tells TV Guide magazine, "My fear is, we see too many examples of studios buying the rights to a franchise, then spending $10...

Tom Selleck is appealing for a role in Courteney Cox's hit show Cougar Town - because he's desperate to work with his former Friends co-star again.

The Magnum, P.I. actor played Cox's on/off onscreen boyfriend, Dr. Richard Burke, in the long running comedy series and appeared in three seasons opposite the actress. Selleck admits he has always wanted to score another role opposite Cox and would happily appear in her new TV show, about older women chasing younger men.

He tells E! Online, "I'd love to work with Courteney again. That would be fun. I've watched (Cougar Town) a couple of time...

Tom Selleck has landed the lead role in a new TV cop show - the first time he has headlined a primetime program since "Magnum P.I."

Nonetheless, now Selleck is leading the cast of new cop drama "Reagan's Law," while former New Kids on the Block star Donnie Wahlberg and actress Bridget Moynahan are in talks to co-star in the CBS show, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Eighties and Nineties nostalgia are running rampant in pop culture right now. Television networks and film companies are resurrecting TV shows and movies like 90210, Melrose Place, Halloween, and Transformers. This obsession with the 80s and 90s have lead to TV specials and debates about which decade is better. Both provided us with fascinating films to watch, memorable music to listen to, and new forms of entertainment that we still use today. But when it comes to entertainment, which decade was better?

In the 80s, there were only three major broadcast networks - ABC, NBC,...

Actor Tom Selleck has been awarded more than $187,000 after a jury in California found he had been duped into purchasing a lame horse.

The Magnum PI star went to court over claims Dolores Cuenca sold him a show horse with a medical condition, passing the animal off as fit for his 20-year-old daughter Hannah to ride in amateur competitions.

The jury in the civil case ruled in Selleck's favor on Thursday, awarding him a lump sum to cover the purchase price of the $120,000 horse, named Zorro, and additional boarding costs.

A second hearing will begin on Tuesday to determine how muc...

Actor Neil Patrick Harris scorched up the stage at the TV Land Awards in Los Angeles - when a stunt set his tuxedo on fire.

The star, who was hosting the prize giving, was rehearsing his opening number just before the show started on Sunday when his costume went up in smoke. According to blogger Marc Malkin, the funnyman was left shaken and a little burned when sparks from electronic devices he was wearing for a stunt set his suit on fire.

A source says, "He just had some welts on his back (but) he didn't have to be taken to a hospital or anything like that."

It must be nice being Matthew McConaughey. While making the film "Surfer, Dude" - out on DVD Dec. 30 - he spent time with friends and co-stars Woody Harrelson and Willie Nelson. Just minutes from the beach, the cast and crew wrapped filming each day, sat back with a few cocktails (and who knows what else) and hung out. Sounds like more play than work.

So how different is McConaughey from his weed-smoking, naked didgeridoo-playing character in "Surfer, Dude?" The actor took some time on a windy California morning to talk to Starpulse about the film, how he stays fit, several rumors tha...

British funnyman Ricky Gervais has revealed he turned down a leading role in the lucrative Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise because he didn't want to play "a comedy pirate" on the big screen.

He explains, "I didn't want to sit in a Winnebago for six months waiting to show up as a comedy pirate for two minutes."

He also tells Entertainment Weekly magazine he turned down roles in The Da Vinci Code, the new Star Trek and a remake of Dudley Moore comedy Arthur.

The 63-year-old has been talked into slipping on his dancing shoes by former Three Men and a Baby co-star Steve Guttenberg, who strutted his stuff in the last season of the reality show.

Harrison Ford is, without question, one of the biggest box office stars of all time. With the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on Thursday it couldn't be a better time to take a look back on the seven best movies of Ford's career.

We purposely left the Star Wars trilogy off the list considering those are not really "Harrison Ford movies" and quite an entity unto themselves. Plus, we do not need every movie on this list being a "Star Wars" or "Indiana Jones" movie. At times we do like to be challenged.

Not a big week for TV on DVD releases. Check out “Hogfather;” “Human Giant,” season one; “Love Boat,” season one, volume 1; and “Magnum P.I.” season eight.

The television opening credit sequence is truly an art form. Frankly, it is hard to believe that it has never been considered as a category for any of the major award shows. It should be. An excellent sequence can make a mediocre series good, a good series great, and a great series…well, you get the idea.

Okay, so maybe the above statement is a little bit of a stretch. Still, opening sequences can be pretty entertaining. They may be a dying art form these days, but that is all the more reason to celebrate the very pinnacle of achievement in the field. There have been many great ...

Tom Selleck and Jamie Foxx have become unlikely avocado farming neighbors in rural California. The two actors' ranches are divided by a "common fence" - but they're not talking to each other.

Selleck reveals, "He's my neighbour but I don't know how to say hi... Celebrities, we don't like to bother anybody, so we don't talk. I've gotta find a way to say hello."

And the former Magnum P.I. star admits there's a little avocado rivalry at stake: "My avocados are a little better than his and they're selling like hotcakes... Mine will sell more because my trees are older. I've got about ...

Tony Soprano's Chevrolet Suburban SUV and Tom Cruise's Days Of Thunder stock car are among the movie memorabilia items that failed to sell at a two-day auction last week. Both vehicles were removed from the Profiles In History sale when bidding failed to reach their reserve prices.

The Sopranos vehicle was expected to fetch between $30,000 and $50,000, while bidding on the Cruise car failed to hit $40,000.

And they weren't the only motors which stalled at the auction - an original screen-used General Lee car from The Dukes Of Hazzard TV show also failed to sell.

Tom Selleck's avocado business has been dealt a savage blow from the elements - a severe frost has killed off hundreds of tress on his California farm. The former Magnum P.I. star admits his ranch is "a disaster area" and a recent "killer frost" has snapped his winning streak as a leading avocado farmer. He says, "We lost, like, 600 trees."

Selleck admits the disaster has made him realize just how tough it is for family farmers who don't have an acting career to fall back on. He adds, "I'm a family farmer and it's really hard." Ironically, Selleck isn't a big fan of his chosen crop: "...

Actor Tom Selleck has ruled out a cameo role in a planned big screen version of his 1980s TV hit Magnum, P.I. - because he refuses to trivialize the show. Selleck is against compromising the memory of a television show he is proud to have starred in by appearing in a big-budget movie making fun of it.

He says, "I tell you what worries me - because I love Magnum and we have loyal fans - is they take these TV show titles, and they buy them and they spend $100 million on special effects, and then they make fun of them and trivialize it."

"Then they try and get the actor who used to b...

The first season of Everybody Hates Chris is now on DVD. Inspired by Chris Rock's life as a kid, the series takes place in New York City in the 1980s.

Also on DVD: Numb3rs season two, Scrubs season four, and The A-Team and Magnum P.I. season five.

Producers of the big screen adaptation of cult TV show Magnum PI are keen to cast Ben Affleck as the famous Hawaiian private investigator. Charles Floyd Johnson, one of the producers of the original 1980s TV series, insists the star would be perfect for the mustachioed role after Tom Selleck held out too long to reprise the part.

Johnson hints Affleck would be his first choice to play the lead but, regardless of the final casting, he tells moviehole.net, "I think it will be wonderful. Unfortunately it won't star Tom. He was asked to do six or eight TV movies and at that time he really...

Magnum PI star Tom Selleck has snubbed the chance to reprise his most famous role in a movie version of the hit series. A film adaptation of the show, which ran for eight years attracting huge audiences, has long been rumored, with George Clooney once mooted to play the mustachioed private investigator.

But Selleck insists he will play no part in any plans. The 61-year-old star says, "I won't be in it, and I won't be doing some stupid cameo."

My Name Is Earl star Jason Lee modeled his moustache in the hit show on Magnum PI star Tom Selleck's famed facial hair. The actor considered a number of moustached icons before settling on the whiskers made famous in the 1980s TV smash.

Lee explains, "We tried the Fu Manchu , but I looked a little shady, so we shaved the Fu and just left the Tom Selleck. I took a lot of inspiration from Magnum PI."

Lee can't wait till the show wraps later this month so he can be clean shaven again. He adds, "We're all looking forward to it being gone. I'm locked into it through to the end of Febr...
