The story of Motown legends the Temptations is heading to Broadway, reports Billboard.com. Otis Williams , the Temptations' leader and sole surviving founding member, said the group is working with producer Ira Pittleman on a musical based on the 1998 NBC miniseries about the group's history. "It's still so popular and loved," said Williams about the miniseries. "I never would have imagined the possibilities of the Tempts life story going to Broadway, but it's wonderful." The group plans to wait until after Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr ., gets his own Broadway musical, which is reportedly slated to open in April, said Williams.
National Enquirer: 'Dateline' anchor caught cheating
"Dateline NBC" anchor Chris Hansen gained notoriety with his popular series "To Catch a Predator," which set out to nab would-be sex perverts. Now it looks like Hansen is the focus of a sting operation by the National Enquirer.
The publication claims it caught Hansen, a 51-year-old married father of two, cheating on his wife, Mary, 53, with 30-year-old Kristyn Caddell . Caddell is a news anchor at an NBC affiliate in West Palm Beach, Fla. The Enquirer's sting took place last weekend. It included secret cameras filming the couple as they headed to dinner and then back to Caddell's apartment Friday. The two then allegedly emerged from the apartment at 8 a.m. Saturday.
Later, Caddell reportedly drove Hansen to the airport. While the tabloid teased the story, which is now on newsstands, at its website nationalenquirer.com, the Brit publication the Daily Mail publicized it in its entirety on its website dailymail.co.uk. Born in Chicago, Hansen moved with his family to Bloomfield Township at age 8 when his father got an auto-related position here. Hansen worked as a TV news reporter in Detroit for several years before he joined NBC in 1993.
