Members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) met at the Sportsmen’s Lodge in Studio City today. Leaders had one message for them: we’re still negotiating.
Hmmm, what’s it all mean? I just hope they can work things out before it comes down to another situation like the writer’s strike last winter. I think […]

Ah, it does my heart good to see Angelina Jolie kick some major butt. I haven’t seen Wanted yet, but loved all of her other action flicks - namely, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and the Lara Croft movies.

Charisse passed away Tuesday at the age of 86 after suffering an apparent heart attack. Known for her long legs that seemed to go on […]
