Gotta love summer -- cold beer, beaches, summer flings and, of course, barbecue. Another 'cue festival is upon us -- this time it's BBQ NYC on August 26th. We're giving you some advance warning on this one because spots are going quickly. For $40, you get to hang out on Ward's Island for all you can eat BBQ, and 5 beer/wine tickets. This year's theme is "A Celebration of Texas BBQ," featuring slow smoked cow, pork and chicken by Big Island / Hill Country BBQ; Elgin Hot Links from Meyer's; Alderwood Smoked Salmon by Stephen J. Silverberg. esq.; plenty of sides and traditional Texas fixin's. They're also doing a pot luck of sorts -- if you are one of the first 20 who make a donation with a a note saying you're bringing a dessert or one of the first 20 who donate with a note saying they're bringing an hors d'oeuvre, you'll get bumped to the front of the food lines. How's that for incentive to share? RSVP at www.bbq-nyc.com; donation of $40 to attend; 3-7 pm.

These days, reading a Hollywood trade is like seeing a TV Guide grid from the 80s - it's all about making movies from 80s TV shows. Today, Universal announced they are remaking Miami Vice, ideally with Colin Farrell and Jamie Fox as Crockett and Tubbs. Earlier this week, Stephen J. Cannell said he's going to go forward with the long-awaited A-Team movie! And Robert Luketic, best known as the director those canonical films, Legally Blonde and Win A Date With Tad Hamiltion, is going to direct the Dallas movie. There's already the Dukes of Hazzard movie in the works (Seann William Scott, Johnny Knoxville and Jessica Simpson), and there were rumors of a Dallas one. What's next? Remington Steele? Moonlighting? Murder, She Wrote? Magnum PI? Clearly, the cheesier and campier the show was, the more remake potential it has, so no Hill Street Blues or St. Elsewhere. But The Greatest American Hero - why not?
