[1]

Pieced together through traits of horror film characters were Herman Munster (Fred Gwynne), his wife, Lily (Yvonne DeCarlo), their son, Eddie (Butch Patrick), niece Marilyn (Beverley Owen) and the grandfather (Al Lewis). [2]

As a youngster, Patrick played Eddie Munster on “The Munsters” and starred in the Krofft Saturday morning series “Lidsville”. [3]

Butch Patrick has no fans yet! [3]

The opening-titles sequence of Dinner for Schmucks offers a series of curious tableaux: meticulously constructed dioramas of two taxidermized mice, dressed up like people, in various stages of courtship. [1]

Steve Carell, left, and Paul Rudd are shown in a scene from “Dinner for Schmucks.” [3]

“Dinner for Schmucks” tells the story of Tim (Paul Rudd), a guy on the verge of having it all. [4]

The rest of Dinner for Schmucks will demonstrate how Barry can screw up Tim’s. [5]

In “Dinner for Schmucks,” Paul Rudd stars as an ambitious career man who will move up the corporate ladder if he can impress his bosses in one bizarre way: by participating in dinners where “idiots” are invited to attend so they can be made fun of.One of those idiots is Barry, played by Steve Carell, who just may hold the key to Rudd’s future success. [6]

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Steve Carell and Paul Rudd together on the big screen, but the two have teamed up again for Paramount Pictures’ Dinner for Schmucks (watch the new trailer) and ComingSoon.net visited the Los Angeles set in December where we talked to both of the comedic actors. [7]

The only thing standing between him and total career success is finding the perfect guest to bring to his boss’ annual Dinner for Extraordinary People, an event where the winner of the evening brings the most eccentric character as his guest. [4]

He will attend a dinner party hosted by his boss (Bruce Greenwood) and, like the others, bring some doofus who can be relied on to make a fool of himself. [5]

The Bigger Picture: While attempting to sweet-talk his girlfriend into marriage, Tim (Rudd) gets pressured by his boss to bring a special guest to a dinner party. [...] Instead of a series of events that build to a climax, most of the running time is spent putting Tim and Barry (and a few other schmucks) in random situations with each scene getting bigger and more outrageous than the last…but not any funnier. [8]

And then one fateful day, Barry bumps into Tim (Paul Rudd) - or, more accurately, Tim runs into Barry with his Porsche. [1]

In his first executive meeting at the Beverly Hills equity firm where he works, junior analyst Tim (Paul Rudd) sizes up the others sitting at the long table, and they toss quick knives back. [5]

“I remember when this movie came out about 10 years ago and I remember seeing the trailer and thought it was a great idea for a movie. [7]

The briefest exposure to Barry shows how his inanity has screwed up his life. [5]

NEW YORK (AP) — Lance Berkman is headed to the New York Yankees, who plan to complete a deal to acquire the former All-Star from the Houston Astros on Saturday, a day after the World Series champions obtained outfielder Austin Kearns from the Cleveland Indians. [1]

NEW YORK — The Yankees are working on a trade to acquire Lance Berkman from the Houston Astros. [2]

The Yankees are working on a trade to acquire Lance Berkman from the Houston Astros. [3]

If Lance Berkman, 34, does anything at all over the next few years, he’s going to end his career as a serious Hall of Fame candidate. [4]

The Yankees have to wait until Saturday to officially announce their acquisition of Lance Berkman in a trade with the Astros. [5]

William Lance Berkman (born February 10, 1976) is a Major League Baseball player for the Houston Astros. [6]

The Yankees are “moving pretty rapidly” toward a trade for Astros switch-hitter Lance Berkman, a baseball official with knowledge of the team’s plans told FanHouse. [7]

“Nothing’s been completed,” Berkman said in Houston, before the Astros played Milwaukee. [2]

The Yankees and Astros agreed to a trade for Berkman on Friday afternoon and Berkman gave his consent to waive the no-trade rights. [5]

That the New York Yankees can casually (reportedly) trade for such a player in the midst of a pitched pennant race is cause for some real indignance. [4]

The Post has learned that the Astros had agreed to pay $4 million of the $7.5 million Berkman is due between the rest of his salary this year and the buyout on his $15 million option for 2011. [5]

The deal was gaining momentum Friday and was likely to happen before Saturday’s trade deadline, a baseball executive familiar with the discussions said. [2]

Reliever Mark Melancon was said to be one of two minor-league players headed to Houston, the New York Post reported. [8]

It was not immediately clear who the Yankees would send to Houston in exchange for the five-time All-Star. [2]
