Q: Did Sandra Dee ever state publicly what she thought about the "Grease" song about her?
She never said anything publicly, but apparently she took it with the good sense of humor with which she took most things.
The song "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee" is sung as an accusation to "Grease's" main character, whose name also happens to be Sandy. The suggestion is that she's squeaky clean, perhaps unbelievably so, just like the teen-idol actress referenced in the title.
It's meant as a dig, but the real Sandra Dee didn't mind.

Q: What happened to the show "Billy the Exterminator"?
You can't give me a setup like this and expect me not to take it: "Billy the Exterminator" was exterminated.
Credit is due to A&E, which stuck by the show through some tough times, airing and promoting the sixth season in the fall of 2012, after Billy was arrested on drug charges in the summer.
Of course, the season would have been filmed by that point, so it would have cost the network a fair bit of money not to air it. And it did prove to be the show's last season.

m>A previous Q&A column indicated that AMC had canceled "Hell on Wheels" and would release no new episodes. However -- and this is good news for fans -- that has proven only partially true: No new episodes will be produced, however seven episodes remain from last year's season and will air this summer. The network has not yet announced a premiere date for the last half of the show's final season.
The Voice, on NBC
The competition is well underway, and the judges hear even more talented vocalists in this new episode. Carson Daly hosts the hit series, which also features Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams and Christina Aguilera as judges.
