Rumors answered about 'The Police' reunion
Q: Are "The Police" getting back together? My friend told me that she read somewhere that they are. - A Reader, via e-mail
A: Things are definitely looking that way - and I couldn't be more excited. In a recent interview, Sting (the band's former frontman) said: "We started 30 years ago, so it would be nice to do something to celebrate. We don't quite know what, but we're talking about it.
"I'm very proud of the band we were in," Sting said. "I left because I felt I wanted to grow as a musician, to mature as a musician and to try more things than a band is able to do. A band is very constricted. I spent the last 25 years exploring that freedom and having a great time."

Q: I watch "Family Feud," and host John O'Hurley was excited about the impending birth of his first child. I hadn't heard if his wife had had the baby. Also, do you know if she had a boy or a girl? - Dorothy S., Mims, Fla.
A: John and his wife, Lisa, welcomed son William Dylan O'Hurley on Dec. 6, 2006. John was previously married to onetime "All My Children" actress Eva LaRue.
Q: Can you please settle an ongoing debate I have with my husband? I remember that Jim Moret of "Inside Edition" has a famous father. Can you tell us who that is? - E.L.S., Melbourne, Fla.
A: I certainly can. Moret's father is actor James Darren. One of his more famous roles was as Officer Jim Corrigan on "T.J. Hooker." He also played "Moondoggie" in the "Gidget" movies. Most recently, he's been seen in "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" as Vic Fontaine.

Q: I just saw the DVD "The 10th Kingdom" and wanted to know where it was filmed? - Marion L., Beford, Va.
A: "The 10th Kingdom" was filmed throughout Europe, including England, Austria and Spain. Many famous landmarks stood in for landmarks within the fictional story. For example, Snow White Falls was really the Krimmler Waterfalls in Hohe Tauern National Park in Austria. The Waddesdon Manor substituted for Wendell's Castle in the Fourth Kingdom. The Snow White Memorial Prison was filmed at Hohenwerfen, an 11th-century fortress near Salzburg, Austria.
Although out-of-print, you could probably find a copy of "The 10th Kingdom: The Making of an Epic" at your local video store or an online auction site. No doubt, this DVD will offer even more insight into the filming of this spectacular fairy tale.
For me, this three-disc miniseries is going to the top of my Netflix queue. I can't believe I hadn't even heard of this enchanting series before - especially with such a stellar cast: Ann-Margret, Dianne Weist, John Larroquette, Rutger Hauer and Ed O'Neill, to name just a few.
