Dennis takes a side trip to Mexico for fun and charity

Among the special guests, in addition to the Family Franz, were Robert Davi, Macia Gay Harden, Corbin Bernsen, Jennifer Tilley, forner Mamas and the Papas singer Michelle Phillips, Roma Mafia, Jonathon Silverman and Michael York. Dennis fared well in the competitions - his team finished first in the golf tournament and he finished second in the poker tournament.

Bonnie at Walk Hard premiere

Bonnie Somerville showed up for the west coast premiere of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story last night in Los Angeles. No word on when her new series, Cashmere Mafia, will show up. The series was originally scheduled to debut in late November but ABC has put that on hold due to the writers strike. If the strike continues into 2008, look for Mafia to show up early in 2008 when the network will need new content to replace the strike idled series.

Keep up with what's going on with Cashmere Mafia at www.thecashmeremafia.com
