It’s good to see Formula 1 racing back again at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, Canada. When F1 suddenly departed the famous Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Montreal Ile Notre-Dame after the 2008 Grand Prix – many thought F1 racing was finished in Canada for good. But it has made a triumphant return for 2010.

HoundsTV has many fond memories of spending the exciting Formula 1 week in Montreal – especially during the late nineties when the names of Jacques Villeneuve & Michael Schumacher ruled the track. Villeneuve’s 1997 Formula 1 World Championship win over Schumacher stands as one of the greatest sporting moments in Canadian history.

I really have enjoyed the times I’ve managed to catch up to, and collect a signature from Sir Paul McCartney. You really can’t get much bigger than a Beatle.

From my very first time hounding McCartney in Toronto in 2002, I have traveled to a few places in the world to see Sir Paul. You don’t always get lucky. Many nights McCartney is just not in the mood for signing autographs. And he is signing less and less Beatles memorabilia each year.

But then there are the good days when McCartney enjoys greeting fans and signing a few autographs while out on tour.

Such was the case when Paul McCartney stopped to sign this original album cover of Abbey Road [$1,750] Paul autographed this album after a concert at Dallas Cowboys stadium during August, 2009 in Texas. Also note this was one of those rare times when McCartney signed his full name, “Paul McCartney”

ITEM: Paul McCartney autographed ABBEY ROAD original album cover 12.5″ x 12.5″ (Album cover in good condition – shows wear at edges. Includes vinyl LP. Signed by Paul McCartney in black sharpie.)

This June, Alomar will also become one of Canada Sports Hall of Fame’s newest members (but we all know Alomar fans are really waiting for next year when Robbie will be inducted into the only Hall Of Fame that matters – Baseball’s)

When Alomar was launching his new line at Sear’s in Toronto – he also debuted a new logo – a silhouette graphic image of Alomar’s arms up reaction to hitting arguably the Blue Jay’s biggest home run ever (and yes, I’m including Carter’s in that opinion. Sure Joe won the whole damn thing with his swing. But Robbie’s blast off an unhittable Dennis Eckersley in the ‘92 ALCS slayed serious demons for Toronto and set the stage for everything to follow.)

Roberto’s wife and son Robertito were accompanying him while greeting fans at Sear’s Eaton Centre.

Roberto Alomar autographed for HoundsTV this offically licensed photo file 8″ x 10″ color photo of Alomar in his famous “arms up” pose after hitting the home run off Eckersley ($59.00 – with MLB hologram.)

Alomar would eventually be named Most Valuable Player of the 1992 American League Championship series and provide Toronto fan’s one of their most cherished sports memories ever.

ITEM: ROBERTO ALOMAR autographed 8″ x 10″ official licensed Photo File photograph from ‘92 ALCS (Mint condition. MLB hologram on bottom right corner. Comes in Photo File protective sleeve. Signed in blue sharpie. HoundsTV watermark graphic does not appear on actual photograph.)

It’s always sad to see the acting legends fall. Hollywood hasn’t got too many legends left standing, and certainly doesn’t seem to be replacing them. I’m talking about the icons – the acting chameleons that could almost morph into any role.

Dennis Hopper was such an actor.

Hopper will be forever identified with many of the cult classics of the late sixties & seventies. The Trip, Easy Rider, Mad Dog Morgan, & Apocalypse Now to name just a few. Hopper came to age as an actor at the time when an independent spirit and rebel filmmaking attitude was sweeping over Hollywood. Hopper had the perfect kind of “crazy” for that.

For me, It wasn’t till the early nineties that I began to really appreciate much of Hopper’s work. I will always remember the scene in True Romance when he squared off against Christopher Walken as my beginning in the appreciation of the late great Dennis Hopper.

It would be almost a decade later when I got to meet the man in-person. It was summer 2001 and Hopper was in Toronto filming the movie Knockaround Guys. I was just beginning to tail the autograph hounds in my quest to gain their trust and agreement in a documentary series I would eventually produce. (It would be a few years later when Hounds would finally premiere on Canadian TV.)

Waiting for Dennis Hopper to return to his downtown hotel after a long day of filming – he couldn’t have been nicer taking a few minutes to sign this beautiful 11″x14″ color photograph ($159.00) from the iconic film, Easy Rider.

ITEM: DENNIS HOPPER autographed EASY RIDER 11″ x 14″ color photograph (Suitable for framing. Signed in blue sharpie. HoundsTV watermark graphic does not appear on actual photograph.)
PRICE: $159.00 CAN + $15.00 (S&H in North America)

Here is one of pop cultures finest ever musicals to come to the big screen. A generation fell in love with Grease – and a new generation continues to.

It took one particular HoundsTV autograph collector a while to finish this Grease album – almost 6 years to be exact. After getting John Travolta to sign the album back in 2004 when he was in Toronto to promote a movie, it took longer then expected to catch up to Olivia Newton-John. But the chance finally came in early 2010 when Olivia visited Toronto for a few days to shoot a movie. Thankfully, Olivia was kind enough to sign and complete the album cover.
