Harris, Captain Phil — 53 year-old Phil Harris, the cantankerous but endearing captain of The Deadliest Catch’s fishing trawler the Cornelia Marie, has passed away after suffering a stroke while onboard his ship during the current crab-fishing season. For those of you familiar with the show, Harris is exactly the kind of tough-as-nails character that makes the show so memorable, and he will be missed. Though Harris suffered the stroke in front of Discovery Channel film crews, programming executives say they are still unsure of how they will handle Harris’ death in the upcoming season of the program.

Wal-Mart — NBC is toying with the idea of allowing mega-corporations Wal-Mart and Procter & Gamble a designated night to air its own self-produced television movies. April 16 will see the first Friday night of such programming, beginning with Secrets of the Mountain, an adventure drama that focuses on “a single mother who takes her family to visit a mountain cabin they inherited from their eccentric uncle.” I think we all know what’s next — the advent of Wal-Mart films inevitably means that the hard working mom and pop operation The Ghost Whisperer has about six months left.

Willis, Bruce — The Die Hard star — and father to three young daughters — tells Men’s Journal that his standard warning to would-be suitors is to pull them aside and explain that “if anything happens to one of my daughters, I’m coming to you first, and then I’m going to kill all your friends right in front of you, and you’ll be last.” Alternately, he also tells them that “if my daughters don’t call when they’re coming home late, I’m going to hook a car battery up to your testicles,” and that “on Thanksgiving, you will be prompt and bring a reasonably priced bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, nothing too dry, and a good year, or I will wrap a belt of C4 around your face.”
