Sneed has learned Nick Giannis, the Boston Blackie's restaurant chain owner who flew the coop last week, has waived extradition and is expected to be returned to Cook County sometime next week to face criminal fraud charges. • To wit: Giannis, 62, a major contributor to U.S. Senate hopeful Alexi Giannoulias -- and a customer of his family's Broadway Bank -- has been charged with a $1.8 million "check kiting" scheme involving the restaurant's checking accounts and numerous area banks. • The upshot: The  

TV2's favourite group of geniuses have returned from the North Pole and are back for a new series, in All New The Big Bang Theory. The boys return from their freezing research trip, bearded and happy to be home.

It's folk roots. Maybe I'd say ethereal folk roots. It's rootsy.  

Computer hacker-turned-nerd-core rapper YTCracker is a man of few words, and fewer cares. Never one to worry, he believes in brains over brawn and rapping over 8-bit beats sampled straight from dusty Nintendo cartridges. His goal, much like the goal of playing the games themselves: to get to the next level.  

Anka wrote the theme song for "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" and also penned "She's a Lady" for Tom Jones -- one of Jones' biggest hits. His idol status was threatened with the "British invasion" of the Beatles and other groups, but he has maintained a lucrative career as a songwriter, including writing for Michael Jackson. Located on the so-called "golden mile" of the Wilshire Corridor, the Carlyle was developed by Elad Properties, which also owns and developed the Plaza Hotel in New York Ci  

This week I heard some people saying Robert Downey Jr. needs to be cloned so he can star in that Leonardo Da Vinci action movie , among other things.

If you are a regular reader around these parts, then you are probably well acquainted with our Scenes We Love and Scenes We Hate. So, I recently went to see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and was struck with a moment on-screen that wasn't necessarily a scene that I hated (in the traditional sense of the word), and it definitely wasn't a scene I loved -- but it stood out, because it did almost manage to ruin the entire movie.

Hippolyta is an on-rails action game in which you, a fugitive Amazonian princess, air your dislike for Greek civilization and clothes by running down a lot of Hoplites. Hit W to jump over obstacles, S to duck under branches, A to shield yourself from arrows and space bar to spear pugnacious pedestrians. Watch out, conscientious parents.  

To most people, Vanessa Paradis is best known as the French wife of Johnny Depp. To French music aficionados, though, she's always been a bona fide pop star since the age of 14. And when she's not busy being the spouse of one of the most famous actors alive, she finds time to perform some of her classic pop hits. After holding a brief string of concerts toward the end of 2009, Paradis, according to MusicActu , has decided to add a few more live shows to her calendar this year.  

Having released 16 full-length albums and a handful of EPs, Centro-matic -- including its alternate incarnation, South San Gabriel -- is arguably the most prolific in the indie era. Frontman Will Johnson uses the groups as a vehicle for his poetic, introspective style of endless Americana.
