That Hollywood hotshot - and Norwood homey -
Neal Flaherty is in talks with Barstool Sports sultan Dave
Portnoy to develop his sports-and-scantily-clad-women site into a local TV
show. Oh, do stay tuned.

That the Standells standard “Dirty Water” has been named the
“official” victory song of the Boston Red
Sox [team
stats] - and that’s according to the state Legislature. The
proclamation, sponsored by state Rep. Todd Smola, Majority Leader John
Rogers and Sen. Stephen Brewer, had broad bipartisan support.

That Marshfield writer Amy MacKinnon scored a “significant deal” at
auction for her debut novel, “Tethered.” Publishers Marketplace reports that
Random House’s Shaye Areheart Books will publish the book about a mortician -
with her own damaged past - who finds herself at the center of a murder
investigation and a sordid underworld when she unwittingly identifies a dead
body.

That former WROR overnight guy Chuck Igo’s nocturnal
novel-writing has finally paid off! His spy story, “Taken Identity,” which is
about four radio guys who help save the country, was No. 2 on AuthorHouse’s
top-sellers list last week. We hear Chuck’s former morning compadres Loren
& Wally scored a mention in the tome.

That the Boston Blues Brothers Band, Kate Taylor, James Montgomery and
Bad Company’s Simon Kirke will headline the second annual
Celebrating John Belushi benefit for Arlington’s Right Turn. Judy
Belushi Pisano, the widow of the late “Saturday Night Live” funnyman, will
show a short Belushi-made film at the Nov. 2 fund-raiser at the The Regent
Theatre in Arlington. Get all the 411 at right-turn.biz.

That The Goodwin Group’s PR princess, Kristen Daly, is a new
mommy. Kristen and her hubby, Dan Hern, a director at Bass
Trading, are the new parents of a bouncing baby boy, Spencer Daly, who
weighed in at 7 pounds, 1 ounce. Cigars all around!

And finally, that “Wonder Drug,” a screenplay by Worcester writer Caitlin
McCarthy, will get a live staged reading at the 15th annual Hamptons
International Film Festival on Oct. 20.
