The onslaught of TV specials and related events commemorating the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination (Nov. 22, 1963) will begin shortly — with Nat Geo first out of the gate.
The network is promoting its upcoming movie "Killing Kennedy" (starring Rob Lowe as JFK) with a '60s-style newsstand showcasing iconic magazine covers from 1957-63 encompassing both JFK and his assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. The newsstand — on display here next week — will also include front-page newspaper headlines from Nov. 23, 1963, the day after JFK's assassination in Dallas. The newsstand will be at Penn Station next Tuesday, Nov. 5, at Herald Square (Nov. 6) and at Columbus Circle (Nov. 7) — with people dressed in '60s-era garb passing out reproductions of the newspapers as well as real JFK half-dollar coins. "Killing Kennedy" premieres Nov. 10 (8 p.m.), with co-stars Will Rothhaar (Oswald), Ginnifer Goodwin (Jackie Kennedy) and Michelle Trachtenberg (Marina Oswald).
Belushi: Maybe this time?
Here: Don't know about you, but I'd file this one in the "just a wee bit disturbing" folder: 85-year-old Dr. Ruth Westheimer — better known as "Dr. Ruth" — is returning to the land of TV with a new talk show. Granted, "The Wisdom of Dr. Ruth Westheimer" will be only 15 minutes long (airing weekly) and granted, it will air on niche network Shalom TV (premiering Nov. 18), but still . . .
And there: Emile Hirsch, who's playing Clyde Barrow in A&E's upcoming miniseries "Bonnie & Clyde," has been cast as John Belushi in Steve Conrad's biopic of the hard-charging TV and movie star ("Saturday Night Live," "Animal House") who died in 1982 at the age of 33. Hopefully Hirsch, 28, will have better luck than a pre-"Commish"/"The Shield" star Michael Chiklis who, back in 1989, played Belushi in the big-screen stinker, "Wired," based on Bob Woodward's best-seller. That movie was pilloried by Belushi's widow, Judith; this one's based on her book, "Belushi: A Biography." So there.
Last, but not least . . .
Armand Assante will be at Sterling Gardens (Matawan, NJ) this Saturday for a dinner/cigar-sampling (Ora Vivo cigars). Call (732) 758-8126 for information . . . Ch. 4's Bruce Beck emcees Wednesday's President's Dinner (St. John's) at the Waldorf . . . Sunday's episode of "The Simpsons" will include a tribute to Marcia Wallace, who died last Friday at 70 and played Edna Krabappel. She's best-known to older TV viewers as Carol, Bob Newhart's secretary on "The Bob Newhart Show" . . . John Gabriel is joined by his old pal Charles Grodin for a night of comedy and song Dec. 8 at The Metropolitan Room (West 22nd) . . . MSG "Halls of Fame" host Fran Healy at Flex Mussels Restaurant (82nd St.)
