Apparently, Tammy Wynette and Tupac Shakur have more in common than you might have thought. “Stand By Your Man” singer Wynette is the latest artist to receive the hologram treatment, following in the digitized posthumous footsteps of Shakur and Michael Jackson. The Wynette hologram, which is being created by Hologram USA in partnership with Wynette’s music publisher The Bicycle Music Company, will be unveiled in Nashville in early 2016, at a venue to be announced in the first quarter of next year.

There's obviously money in this (despite all the criticism denouncing the idea), because the company continues to add to its growing list of deceased celebrities who are "revived" for performances as holograms. A month after it was announced that Whitney Houston, Billie Holiday, Patsy Cline, Buddy Holly, Bing Crosby, and others will be "reborn" as holograms, the company behind the push (Hologram USA) has revealed that comedians Redd Foxx and Andy Kaufman will also be "recreated" for 21st Century audiences as holograms, and will begin performing again via live shows, in a nationwide tour set for 2016. "Who knew that the persistent rumors...

Hologram USA, an American hologram company, announced that it is turning experimental comedy legend Andy Kaufman and the King of Party Records Redd Foxx into holograms that will tour the country. Explaining why they picked those two entertainers, the company's founder, Akil David, told the New York Times that they've been “working with other estates of famous funny guys and funny girls, these just happened to be amenable estates who see the vision.” Already on the defensive, another representative told the Times that “every project is done with the utmost respect for the person’s life and work.” This is not true. If they respected the "work," if they respected comedy, they'd know this is a terrible idea. Where the company's announcements of a Billie Holiday and Whitney Houston hologram felt at best creepy and at worst gross, I could at least imagine it being a solid show. Singers sing,...

[1] I wasn't planning to write about Gallery1988's first annual "Is This Thing On" art show as it really has little connection to movies or television (or so I thought... the above piece featuring Judd Apatow mashed-up with the infamous Star Trek Tribbles episode is a fine example of this). The show, co-sponsored by FunnyOrDie, features over 100 artists, each creating pieces that are portraits of their favorite funny people, both beloved comics of yesteryear and emerging superstars. The line up of comedians depicted include: Chris Farley, Will Ferrel, Richard Pryor, Don Rickles, Paul Reubens,Tim & Eric, Nick Kroll, Demetri Martin, Chris Rock, Whitney Cummings, Jon Lovitz, Sam Kinison, Bill Murray, Woody Allen, Colin Quinn, Bill Hicks, Howard Stern, Judd Apatow, Chris Hardwick, Marc Maron, Scott Auckerman, David Spade, Andy Dick, Lenny Bruce, Adam Sandler, Amy Sedaris, Lisa Lampanelli, David Cross, Andy Kaufman, Christopher Guest, Mr. Show, Rob Corddry and Children's Hospital,...
