After years of steady publication and also due to the ever-decreasing space in newspapers now that they are practically defunct, Larry King's unique column has ceased to exist. The iconic radio-television interviewer who retired from his popular show a few years ago, no longer does much, no less graces the print medium with the unique gems his column was known to present. So, in honor of Larry's ill-fated style, we will present intermittent blogs that inform, entertain and honor King's journalistic jingo.

For my money, Judy Garland sang better than her daughter, Liza Minelli and it makes you wonder if Mickey Rooney ever had a son who could sing.
