Movie veteran Robert Redford never contemplated leaving America if George W Bush was reelected in November, because he believes in standing up and not shying away from his political beliefs. The actor - a staunch Democrat supporter - was reported to have vowed he would move to Ireland if Republican Bush beat Senator John Kerry to win a second term in the White House. But Redford contends, "It wasn't true... I love Ireland, I have family heritage in Ireland, but I'm an American. I love it here and I'm not leaving just because of some barking dog on the TV. I'm not going to do that. We are who we are and we're not going to shy away from something we need to stand up for."I love Israel and have family there. Security is good there...
Dick Clark is out of the hospital...I hope he is feeling much better:
Legendary American TV presenter Dick Clark has returned to his Malibu, California, home following a stroke which left him hospitalized for more than seven weeks. The 75-year-old was unable to host his Times Square, New York New Year's Rockin' Eve spectacular for the first time in 32 years - but he was able to watch the show hosted in his absence by Regis Philbin. During the holiday broadcast, celebrities including Madonna, Janet Jackson and John Travolta were seen in recorded messages urging Clark to get well soon, while fans held up 'Get Well Dick' signs. Publicist Paul Shefrin says, "He was very touched by the outpouring of support, not only from the celebrity world but from the people on the streets of New York."The name's Bond. James Bond:
Actor Clive Owen has become favorite to replace Pierce Brosnan as James Bond following his Oscar nomination on Tuesday. British bookmakers William Hill have stopped taking bets on who will be the next 007, because customers have staked so much money on Owen following the announcement he's up for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for his role in Closer. The odds on Owen getting to grips with the suave superspy have been slashed from 4/1 to 5/2, with Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor second favorites with odds of 4/1. A spokesperson for William Hill says, "Owen's nomination sparked a betting frenzy from James Bond fans. They feel his heightened global recognition will have done his chances of being the next Bond a world of good."Chris Rock needs help hosting the Oscars so he calls some of the best comedians (for now) that are out there:
Funnyman Chris Rock has called in some expert help as he prepares to host the Oscars for the first time next month - comedy masterminds Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno. Rock, Seinfeld and Leno met up with American comics Garry Shandling and Bill Maher to pay their respects to late TV icon Johnny Carson at Carson's favorite Hollywood restaurant, Dan Tana's, earlier this week. But the night of mourning quickly turned into a round of quickfire jokes as Rock's friends reportedly helped him create his opening monologue for the big show on February 27.Not the behavior that I would expect from someone studying Kaballah.
