Entertainment > Movie Characters & Performances Julianne Moore's performance in "Children of Men"

1 of 1

Bonk. What's that sound? Oh, it's another actress hitting her head against the glass ceiling people in Hollywood says doesn't exist. For all the self-righteous noise Hollywood makes about being liberal and progressively-minded, it's still a white, male-dominated industry. Oh, you don't believe me? Well, ta... More..

1 of 1

"Ocean's Thirteen"? Why? Actually, that's a dumb question, especially since I already know "why". It's gonna make lots of money, that's why. But you understand why I'm confused, don't you? I mean, "Ocean's Eleven" was a big, lighter-than-air soap bubble of a movie. When the light caught Steven Soderber... More..

1 of 5

There's more than one Marilyn Monroe. Once the former Norma Jeane Mortenson made the perilous ascension from a B-movie extra to a timeless Hollywood icon, whatever Marilyn you see depends on your point of view: An overrated, less-than-meets-the-eye sex symbol?

2 of 4

This time, it's Andy Dick who had a "Michael Richards" moment. Andy, a one-hit wonder who got lucky on the TV show "NewsRadio", was at L.A.'s Improv Comedy Club, when he shouted, "You're all a bunch of niggers!" before leaving the stage. Huh? Is stupidity contagious? Terrence Howard, the star of Crash (and a believer... More..

Entertainment > Celebrity Gossip & News Rumors persist on the cause of death of Anna Nicole

"Money can't buy happiness." Yeah, right. Usually, whenever I hear that creaky relic of a truism, I think about one of my favorite scenes from Norman Lear's classic sitcom The Jeffersons. My memory fails me as to why it happened, but in this episode George and Louise have lost all of their m... More..
