The Music of Pooh
The Disney film Winnie The Pooh opens Friday in the US and Canada, with Craig Ferguson performing the role of Owl, both speaking and singing… or at least speak-singing in a manner reminiscent of Rex Harrison!  In this behind-the-scenes clip, we see the actors recording some of the film’s music. At first, you just hear Craig in the background but later you see him at work! Thanks to the RSA’s @Girl_Atreide for letting us know about it.

If you go to the trailercodes.com, you can see other backstage video from the making of the film. The clip above and the one we posted yesterday are the only two we’ve found on that site that specifically feature Craig.  However, there are more sites with Pooh previews and we’ll post a more clips of Craig talking about the film tomorrow!

Craig Talks about Owl
Craig tells Canada.com about the character of Owl.  Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports via the Boston Globe about the filmmakers’  goal of keeping it as close to the original in appearance and tone as possible.

Tuesday’s Guests Noticed
The writer of a post for accidentalsexiness.com wasn’t too happy when Elijah Wood said something about her home state of Florida on Monday’s show but enjoyed the interview.  And wetpaint.com liked Cat Deeley’s “tartan dress”.

Backstage in Atlantic City
The RSA’s @NormaApril had a chance to meet Craig backstage after his Atlantic City show last Saturday and shares her pictures with us.

Classic TV Maker Passes Away
Sherwood Schwartz, the creator and executive producer of television classics Gilligan’s Island and The Brady Bunch has died.  Schwartz was responsible for two of the most iconic shows of the 1960’s and 70’s and although they can be viewed by some today as campy, the shows brought real laughter and life lessons to millions of viewers.  He even wrote the memorable theme songs for both shows (remind you of anyone?).  The Los Angeles Times has more on Schwartz, who was 94 years old.

Tonight’s Guests
Tuesday on the Late Late Show, the host of CBS’ The Talk and Big Brother, Julie Chen talks with Craig, plus we’ll hear the music of Joss Stone.  Wednesday, Craig’s guests are actor DJ Qualls, and actress Angela Kinsey.

Note:  If you live in the San Francisco area, Craig is scheduled to be a guest on 7Live at 3:00pm PT on Wednesday.  Don’t forget, Craig appears on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno nationwide on Wednesday!
