Q: What is the young boy who starred in "Sleepless in Seattle" doing now?
Like so many actors who find fame before they find adulthood, Ross Malinger couldn't make it last. After a fair bit of success lasting into his teens, he quit the acting biz to sell classic cars at a dealership in Malibu, Calif.
Ross Malinger, born in 1984, seemed poised for a promising film career when "Sleepless in Seattle" came out in 1993. Indeed, though he was just nine years old at the time, it wasn't even his first role.

Q: Will Hope be returning to "The Bold and The Beautiful"? I sure do miss her.
When it comes to soap operas, you can never say never. In a world where people can come back from the dead, children can go away to school for a few months and come back adults, and characters get recast all the time, nothing is certain.
So it was with Hope Logan on "The Bold and the Beautiful," who left the show about a year ago, when actress Kim Matula decided to pursue a film career, but returned for a couple of episodes in April, only to leave again.

Worlds collide: The eerie 'Sleepy Hollow' and methodical 'Bones' set to cross over
Tom Mison stars in “Sleepy Hollow”
Q: I have been watching late-night shows from the 1950s until now -- Allen, Paar, Carson and Leno. They always had high ratings. Do the late-night shows of today, such as O’Brien, Fallon, Colbert and Meyers, draw the same kind of numbers?
The short answer is no, but of course it's quite a bit more complicated than that.
"The Tonight Show" drew an average of 6.5 million viewers a night in the U.S. in 1991, the last year Johnny Carson hosted it, but averaged just 4.1 million in 2013, when Jimmy Fallon took it over. And the U.S. population grew by more than 70 million in the intervening years, meaning that Fallon had a bigger pool of people to draw from but still came up short.
