Item 11.   Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant's Employee Benefit Plans.


The Registrant, Hollywood Media Corp., has a 401(k) Plan; the Hollywood Media Corp. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of this Form 8-K is to report an upcoming temporary blackout period for the Plan, due to changes being made to the Plan including changing the recordkeeper and investment options. In order to effectuate these changes, individuals covered by the Plan will be unable to direct or diversify investments in the Plan, including sales of the common stock of Hollywood Media Corp., during the blackout period. The blackout period is expected to begin on August 24, 2004 and expected to end by September 20, 2004. During the blackout period, participants in the Plan will also be unable to obtain a loan or a distribution from the Plan. Hollywood Media Corp. received notice of this blackout period on July 12, 2004.


Pursuant to the requirements of Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation BTR, Hollywood Media Corp. has given notice of the blackout period to its directors and to its executive officers subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
