Just_Looney_for_Clooney

As the sexiest boomer in the movie business, it's seems a propos to keeps tabs on 46-year-old George Clooney.

Apparently Clooney still has time for showbusiness when he's not crashing his motorcycle. News is he's teaming up with young rake Leonardo DiCaprio costarring for the first time in Farragut North, a political drama taken somewhat from the whirlwind 2004 presidential campaign of current DNC Chairman and web darling, Howard Dean.Read More

The Eagles will release their first studio album since 1979 in two weeks, but only in Wal-Mart stores. Glenn Frey told Reuters/Billboard Sunday "Long Road Out of Eden" was years in the making and will reintroduce fans to what the Eagles really are, which I suppose means it’s a rock 'n' roll record despite contemporary country radio's fascination with the band's catalog.Read More

On Monday, the updated "Bang! Complete History of the Universe" (Carlton Books) will hit stores. For those of you rock fans without the time – or, more likely, the inclination – to thumb through the pop fare from the astrophysics section of Barnes & Noble, you may want to check this title out. "Bang! Up to Date" marks the first publication for newly honored Dr. Brian May, Ph.D.

Yes, the same Dr. May who recently earned access into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the rest of his band mates in Queen.Read More

Yeah, so Oprah is the richest person on TV again, as if anybody expected it to be someone else.

But when Forbes Magazine released its list of TV's top 20 earners and Jerry Seinfeld came in at number two, well, it had to sting Simon Cowell's bloated ego to learn he got beat out by an out-of-work comedian that hasn't seen primetime, or any other TV time, in almost a decade.Read More

I didn't want to blog about music-related events twice in one week, but it's impossible not to notice all the news about Bruce Springsteen kicking-off his first tour with the E Street Band since 2002. Some are calling it the last real run for America's last real rock star. Well, Bruce, now 58, doesn't seem likely to hand over the six-string, but it's the second part of that thought that really sounds suspect.

Springsteen -- the last American rock star? Yeah, ri, wait, um, you know what, that actually may be right.Read More

Wow, this current flurry of Beatlemania has no end in sight. Really, when were these guys this popular? 1967?

Yoko built John a statue in Iceland (because that makes sense); Paul is releasing hit records; Ringo is, well, being Ringo, which hasn't really changed much but nevertheless attention-grabbing; and now George is even getting in on the game – sort of. It was announced last week that Harrison's life will be the focus of a new documentary by Martin Scorsese.Read More

At 75 and in a wheelchair, Elizabeth Taylor is still making the most of her celebrity – and in showing Hollywood just how cinematic royalty is supposed to act. Last week the woman who charmed every leading man worth charming (and marrying as many as she could along the way) staged her annual AIDS charity benefit, adding to the $25 million she’s pulled in for the charity since founding Macy's Passport event in 1988.Read More

Bill Murray's Latest Co-Stars

As I've said before, I can't help but get a bit giddy when great comedic minds come together. I especially love it when veterans of the industry recognize young talent, and new projects are born.

(I don't mean to be too "rah rah team!" here, but when the result is me laughing, I can't help but be on board.)Read More
