Matthew McConaughey is the favorite to revive the Magnum P.I. franchise on the big screen. The movie hunk is reportedly in negotiations to take over the island detective role from Tom Selleck, who played Magnum on TV.

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.

Happy Birthday to modern blues prodigy Jonny Lang (1981), "Party of Five" actor Andrew Keegan (1979), actress Sara Gilbert (1975), Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me star Heather Graham (1970), "The Punisher" star Thomas Jane (1969), actor Edward Burns (1968), actor Nicholas Turturro (1962),

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Scan a list of TV's top 10 programs and you'd expect to find the durably popular ''CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.'' But now it's got unlikely company from another series with an alphabet-soup title: ''NCIS.''

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.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The blazing morning sun promises another triple-digit day, and inside Stage 16 at Sunset Gower Studios, things already have heated up.

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.

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."

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.
