Screen Actors Guild in Solidarity With Wisconsin Protesters
By Eleanor Clift - Politics DailyI've been a member of the Screen Actors Guild since the early 1990s when the McLaughlin Group had a cameo appearance in the movie "Dave." Hollywood director Ivan Reitman came to Washington to film us, and when the lines written for us failed to elicit the spirited debate the group is known for, Reitman went to Plan B. He described the plot of the movie, which has a president falling into a coma and a lookalike taking his place, and the confusion that ensues. He told us to talk about it like we would any other issue, and that's what we did. At the end, John McLaughin, creator and host of the ...
The Oscars: Young, Pretty, Snarky, So Who's Watching?
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyBy now you've probably heard about that cute pair who will be hosting the Oscars -- James Franco and Anne Hathaway, he with his flirty eyes, she with her princess smile -- both pretty, lean, chirpy, young. They've dominated the entertainment and morning news shows, the celebrity magazines, and the Oscar chatter. There is, of course, a reason for that. They are supposed to be creating a new image for the 83-year-old Academy Awards ceremony: youthful, flippant. cute, but elegant, too, and supremely attractive. During this months-long Oscar season, which ends on Sunday night on ABC, one ...
Limbaugh Vows to Leave US for Health Care Needs
By David Knowles - AOL NewsCorrection, March 10, 1:16 pm An earlier version of this story mistakenly reported that Rush Limbaugh had threatened to move to Costa Rica if Congress passed health care reform. Instead, Mr. Limbaugh said that he would travel to Costa Rica for medical care if the bill was passed while continuing to reside in this country. (March 9) -- Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has thrown down the gauntlet. If the U.S. Congress passes health care reform, Limbaugh will leave the country to receive his medical treatment. Specifically, Limbaugh told a caller that he envisions traveling to Costa Rica ...
'It's Complicated': What's Not to Love?
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyI loved it, it's that simple. It's fun, it's entertaining, it doesn't pretend to be reality. Meryl is perfect, as usual, and Alec Baldwin, who rarely makes me love him, won me over. I love the setting, presumably Santa Barbara, and, yes, this is a movie about wealthy people in their pastoral grounds engaged in relatively trivial pursuits. It's not to be confused with a movie of serious social pretensions. I like it that a formidable 60-year-old woman who has not endured shots of Botox or other cosmetic re-arrangements, who is stylish and in trim shape, can still get it on. True, as Melinda ...
Alec Baldwin Dismisses Senate Run, Calls Lieberman a 'Moderate Republican'
By David Sessions - Politics DailyAlec Baldwin may play a moderate Republican on "30 Rock," but in real life, he finds the label insulting enough to level at Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, with whom he's been carrying on a mild public tiff. Baldwin told Playboy this month that he "has no use" for Lieberman and would love to move to Connecticut to run against him. Lieberman came back in an interview with CNN's John King, saying that he respected Baldwin "as an actor and comedian," and that a Senate race between them would "make my day." ...
Alec Baldwin, Still Mulling a Run for Office
By David Knowles - Politics DailyAcclaimed actor Alec Baldwin is no stranger to politics. The star of "30 Rock" and numerous Hollywood films has often voiced his support of Democratic candidates over the years. Back in 2000, for instance, he agreed with director Robert Altman that if George Bush defeated Al Gore, it would be a good time to move to France. Though he didn't make that move, Baldwin remained a political junkie during the Bush years, and often flirted with the idea of running for office. Now, in the wake of "Saturday Night Live" actor Al Franken's stunning victory in Minnesota, that urge may have gotten a little ...
Alec Baldwin Trashes AOL After We Defended Him
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyMan, I am furious with Alec Baldwin, even if he was awesome in Firefly.The star of NBC's 30 Rock singles out AOL for a barrage of criticism for, among other things, this: (h/t Cube)The sine qua non to understanding the garbage barge of the internet is the AOL home page. The AOL home page, which makes Us Weekly look like Paris Match, wants its readers to focus on the latest unflattering photos of stars or their DUIs. The AOL home page is where polls rated George W. Bush as one of the ten greatest presidents, even as late as last fall. The AOL home page is where they wrote that I had "picked a ...
EA's Super Bowl XLIII Sim WasScary Accurate
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsIf there's one thing I've learned in life, it's to never question the outcome of an EA Sports simulation, particularly one that happens in the Madden NFL video game.Why? Because computers, folks, are smarter than we are. How else do you think Alec Baldwin and Hulu are taking over the world? Seriously, though, when you see the results of EA's simulation of the Super Bowl, you're going to be straight up impressed at how close real and fake life coexist. Or something like that. Outcome Madden Sim Real Result Halftime Score Steelers 21-7 ...
N.C. State Coughs Up an 'L' to Florida State, Bans Coffee From Locker Room
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsLest you miss the reference in the title, coffee is for closers only. So says Alec Baldwin anyway. N.C. State and Sidney Lowe, at the moment, don't know much about the sweet, sweet joys of caffeine. That's because, following a 78-65 loss to Florida State tonight (a classic "closer-than-the-box-score if there ever was one), State has lost a trio of heartbreaking games on the season. Marquette and Florida were the traditional kind; late buzzer beaters or tough shots by their opponents sunk the Wolfpack's chances.This, on the other hand, was a total collapse on both ends by Lowe's team in the ...
