Happy Birthday Gary

Gary Cooper died in 1961, but we are still celebrating his birthday this month. He acted in a number of films in the 30's, 40's, and 50's, and won multiple academy awards. In this clip we found for you he plays Howard Roark from "The Fountainhead". JT Spangler http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/4982 2009-05-07T00:00:00-04:00

A tribute to the late and great Tim Russert.

From 1991 until his death last June, Tim Russert moderated Meet the Press, Americas most-watched Sunday morning interview program. He was well respected for asking tough questions and doing so with respect and admiration. He would have been turning 59.

Spicoli's hiliarious HIGHlight reel.

'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' brought us one of the most memorable stoners of all time, Jeff Spicoli. The director of this cult comedy classic, Amy Heckerling, recently turned 55. We, and Sean Penn, would like to thank her again. Paul Johnson http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/5068 2009-05-06T00:00:00-04:00

Classic Orson Welles

Orson Welles was an innovator and auteur of film, radio, theatre, and television. His contributions to the arts are countless. His 94th birthday would be coming up. As he grew older he started to lose it a little, or maybe a lot. Check it out as he nails this commercial. JT Spangler http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/5067 2009-05-06T00:00:00-04:00

Don't let your freudian slip

Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, were he still alive, would be 153 years old. Unfortunately he died in 1939, but we still remember his contributions everytime we go to the psychiatrist. This recording is one of his last, before he died of cancer. JT Spangler http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/4980 2009-05-06T00:00:00-04:00

Bob Seger has always stayed the same.

This is taken from a live concert with Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band in 1978. The song is "Still the Same". The simple rocker is now 64. Paul Johnson http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/4979 2009-05-06T00:00:00-04:00

The 'Say Hey Kid' is hands down one of the greatest to ever play baseball.

Here are several well-known baseball broadcasters commenting on the greatest player they ever saw. Willie Mays, now 78, was a baseball player that could do it all. Not to mention, he made one of the greatest catches of all time. Paul Johnson http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/4978 2009-05-06T00:00:00-04:00

Clooney is no miracle worker, just a janitor.

This scene is from the flick 'Michael Clayton' starring George Clooney. His character helps clean up 'messes' for his firm's clients. The actor and director recently turned 48. Paul Johnson http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/4977 2009-05-06T00:00:00-04:00

The former Prime Minister is also a fan of 'The Clash'.

Ever wonder if Tony Blair is a fan of the clash? Well, this hilarious clip proves that the former Prime Minister can do a mean Joe Strummer. The rockin' politician is now 56. Paul Johnson http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/5048 2009-05-05T00:00:00-04:00

Grab some cervezas, a big hat, a burrito, and celebrate grande style.

Cinco De Mayo, or May 5th if you're a moron, commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. Every year it's just another excuse to party. Simon Cowell and Susan Boyle doing a Mexican hat dance is just wrong. JT Spangler http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/4976 2009-05-05T00:00:00-04:00

Perhaps the best of the 'Pythons' at playing completely stupid.

This is a series of clips honoring Michael Palin from his 'Monty Python' days. The comedic actor has made a career at playing totally lovable morons. He's 66. Paul Johnson http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/5066 2009-05-04T00:00:00-04:00

Happy Birthday Audrey Hepburn

If I were alive in the 60's I totally would've hit on Audrey Hepburn. Her birthday is this week, if she were alive. Watch this clip from the classic movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's, in her memory. JT Spangler http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/5047 2009-05-03T00:00:00-04:00

For over 134 years people have clamored to watch a quick horse race on the first Saturday in May.

There are three things that pop to mind with the Kentucky Derby. The storied history, fast horses, and lots of bourbon. This video shows you how to make the perfect Mint Julep for the big race. JT Spangler http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/5065 2009-05-03T00:00:00-04:00

This is a man's world

James Brown would've been 76 this year. In memorial of this one-of-a-kind soul singer we posted a video from one of his live shows. We all know this is a man's world, but James put a little soul into these words. Check it. JT Spangler http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/4975 2009-05-03T00:00:00-04:00

The little italian with one of the most recognizable singing voices of all time.

Singer Frankie Valli crafted a falsetto voice that has sold millions of records around the world. The frontman for the 'The Four Seasons' is still going strong at 75. Still walkin' and talkin' like a man. Paul Johnson http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/4974 2009-05-02T00:00:00-04:00

Beckham kicks a 70 yarder.

Soccer, or, uh Futbol super star David Beckham can kick a ball far. The LA Galaxy hot shot took advantage of an open goal just some 70 yards away and scores. The 'posh' player is now 34. Paul Johnson http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/4654 2009-04-30T00:00:00-04:00

Introducing Big's Bunny.

We've got a clip of the 1937 cartoon classic "Porky's Duck Hunt." This was their very first attempt to make a rabbit, (called Bugs' Bunny, with an apostrophe). Check out this colorized version of Bugs' big debut. Garrett McNeal http://www.ripetv.com//videos/view/4546 2009-04-30T00:00:00-04:00

A beautifully grotesque and gory tribute.

Here is a tribute to The World Horror Convention that you should never show your kids or girlfriend, or wife. Filled with some of the most bloody, violent, and gory scenes from movies, this compilation should be watched while not eating. Unless you're into that kind of thing, and if so, enjoy!

Willie's always on our mind.

She's so creepy is hilarious.

Cloris Leachman is one of the funniest ladies in Hollywood and still going strong on her 79th birthday. Seriously, did you see her on Dancing with the Stars? We didn't either but that's not the point. Check out this scene from The classic comedy Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks . Rian Basilio
