Adam West will be honored with a star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars on April 10th at 11 a.m. A tribute to all his work over the years, Adam’s star will be the 329th to be placed on the famous walk through downtown Palm Springs. He will be joining the likes of Bob Hope, Ginger Rogers, Harpo Marx, Marilyn Monroe and many other wonderful entertainers. A great tribute indeed!

No matter how avid a Batman fan you may consider yourself to be, there’s a man named Paul in Cornwall, England who will give you a run for your money. Over 30 years, he has turned part of his home into what has been dubbed “The Cornish Wayne Manor”. Complete with a Batman museum, a Batcave in the garden, and what looks like fully-functional Batman-themed bar, it’s one of the most impressive Batman memorabilia collections we’ve ever seen. And what’s better, all the proceeds go to charity! Enjoy the images below.
On Thursday, February 25th, a copy of the Detective Comics No. 27 book, in which “The Batman” makes his debut, was auctioned for $1,075,500, edging out a Superman comic for the record. Read the full story here.

Here’s a quick preview of some of the more unusual things you might see on his Fan page:
As part of the “What’s Adam West Watching” campaign promoting Fox’s upcoming TV line-up, Adam recorded some great radio commercials. Here are a few of them for your listening pleasure. Hope you find them as strange, funny and truly entertaining as we did!
I grew tired of staring at my feet at home and decided to stare at my feet somewhere else…Europe. My wife forced me.
Hope you enjoy the little travelogue I made.

TV guide has posted a great story covering the new Fox “What’s Adam West Watching?” promo campaign as well as an interview with Adam West. Here’s an excerpt:
Adam West, star of a new Fox network promotional campaign called “What’s Adam West Watching,” couldn’t be more comfortable with comedy. This is the man, after all, who played one of the darkest crime fighters for campy laughs. “They have the Dark Knight, OK? I’m the bright knight, if you will,” says the star of the ’60s series Batman.
The 81-year-old actor’s cool deadpan still serves him well in duties ranging from mayor of Quahog on Family Guy to the new promos, in which he tells viewers which Fox shows he loves, with much comedy along the way. TVGuide.com recently caught up with West.
The rest of the story can be found here.
At the CBS Studios in Studio City, I did an on-camera interview with regards to THE FAMILY GUY for FOX Promotions. All went well and the writers and producers there were all a very clever guys. They seem to ‘understand’ my humor. The NBC pilot that I did a few years back, titled, LOOKWELL was always mentioned by these talented young guys. We all laughed as the pilot gags were remembered.
About a week later I get a call from my agent saying the same talented writers and producers want to do a series of sketches on what Adam West is watching on the FOX Network. Once I read the inventive scripts I knew I should do these clever, yet very offbeat sketches.
We filmed them all within an eight hour day….starting around 11 ayem until 7pm….complete with set props and costume changes. The crew went from one sketch to another. It was just that fast.
I was very pleased with the outcome. And from my e-mails so are many of you.
Bat wishes,
ADAM WEST
