Open lines and news of the day with Big Hollywood, Big Government and Big Journalism contributor, Larry O'Connor.

He often joins us for impromptu "Cameos" but tonight we officially welcome Internet Super-star ANDREW BREITBART. Everyone knows that Breitbart is the creator of the hottest new blogs on the web and that he has become one of the most fiery spokes-people for the tea party movement. But, what many don't know is that Andrew is an aficionado of 1980's alternative music. Tonight, for a change of pace, Andrew will join us to talk about that music and the influence it had on him in his youth. (Oh, it's possible he might wander into some political subjects as well... you'll just have to tune in to see!)

Big Hollywood and PJTV contributor Andrew Klavan steps into the Hollywood Chat Pack and joins Larry O'Connor for a very special Stage Right Show. We'll discuss his latest video which displayed his amazing musical theatre skills. Also, we'll discuss his latest book, "The Long Way Home (The Homelanders)". Andrew Klavan is the author of such internationally bestselling crime novels as True Crime, filmed by Clint Eastwood, and Don’t Say A Word, filmed starring Michael Douglas. He has been nominated for the Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Award five times and has won twice. His books have been translated around the world. His latest novel for adults, Empire of Lies, was about media bias in the age of terror, and topped Amazon.com’s thriller list. He has also begun publishing a series of thrillers for young adults, The Homelanders, which follows a patriotic teenager’s battle against jihadists.

By now, everyone knows the infamous DEMON SHEEP internet ad that has become the hottest viral video of the year. Larry O'Connor has landed the first exclusive interview with the actual sheep featured in the video... Demon Sheep can be followed at http://twitter.com/demonsheep In Demon Sheep's own words: "I am a demon sheep, terror of children and eater of souls. I am also a film star." We will talk politics, of course, and also what it is like to not only be a demon sheep, but the most famous demon sheep in history. We will also have a wrap up of all the news of the day and the lambs and muttons of the "Hollywood Chat Pack".

This is a segment from the "Live From a Hollywood Bar" episode of The Stage Right Show which aired live on the evening of February 9, 2010.

Once again we will be broadcasting LIVE from an undisclosed bar hidden deep within the side streets of Hollywood, California. I can't guarantee who will be joining us, but last time we did this we had Gary Eaton, Shelli Eaton, Michael Broderick, Kevin McKeever, Andrew Breitbart, John Nolte, Tuptim, Gary Graham, Ari David and a whole host of anonymous right-wing wackos! Drinks are on me! We won't be taking any calls, but we will be drinking lots of drinks! Plus, the so-sad-they-aren't-joining-us "Hollywood Chat Pack"!
