George Clooney Compares Himself to Elizabeth Taylor
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Charity, Kind Acts,
George Clooney has compared himself to Elizabeth Taylor.
The Ides of March actor was arrested for civil disobedience in Washington last week alongside his journalist father Nick and other protesters after a demonstration outside the Sudanese Embassy and George says he learned from an early age that celebrities are more newsworthy than humanitarian crises.
"I saw my father in the 1970s doing really good stories and then getting bumped because there was a Liz Taylor story that was going to be out. And the story that he did that had real some social value was going to get bumped. I said to my dad, 'Remember how you used to get all your stories bumped by Liz Taylor or something happened in Hollywood?' And he said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Well, let's go to Darfur. And you be the newsman and I'll be Liz Taylor and let's get it on the air.' And he said, 'OK,'" he told Fox News on Sunday.
George is trying to draw attention to the accusation that Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, is provoking a humanitarian crisis and blocking food and aid from entering the Nuba Mountains from South Sudan and admitted he had some close calls when he travelled to the country to film the atrocities.

George Clooney Arrested
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Breaking News,
George Clooney has been arrested.
The Ides of March actor was taken away in handcuffs along with other protesters, including his father, outside the Sudan Embassy in Washington this morning following three verbal warnings from officers.
The actor - who was joined at the demonstration by his father Nick and Democratic Rep. Jim Moran among others - had said he was taking part in the protest to draw more attention to the accusation that Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, is provoking a humanitarian crisis and blocking food and aid from entering the Nuba Mountains from South Sudan. The group held signs which read, "Sudan: Stop Weapons of Mass Starvation."
George had previously warned that if action were not taken in the next few months "we're going to have a real humanitarian disaster.

Militant Atheist Daniel Radcliffe
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Legal Issues,
Daniel Radcliffe is a "militant atheist."
The 22-year-old star was brought up in a Christian/Jewish household, but believes it is important to separate religion and education because he thinks sex lessons are important.
"I'm not religious, I'm an atheist, and a militant atheist when religion starts impacting on legislation. We need sex education in schools. Schools have to talk to kids from a young age about relationships, gay and straight. In Britain it's better - more of a conversation is being had."
Daniel continues to have a vested interest in politics, but having supported the Liberal Democrat party in the last UK election, he now thinks he is more of a Labour follower, because he believes they stand up for more left-wing values: "I will probably be going to Labour. From what I've seen of Ed Miliband I really like him and he speaks for what I believe in. I think he's genuine, genuinely left wing and will act as such if he gets in."
Attorney General to Investigate Schwarzenegger’s Alleged Misuse of Funds
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Divorce, Hook-ups, Rumors,
The tabloids are reporting that the former Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, used California taxpayer funds to cover up his philandering ways. In response, the state’s Attorney General will launch an official inquiry.
It’s not just a marital spat anymore. The charges being leveled at Arnold, which come from the head of security at a California hotel, claim that he took advantage of the California Highway Patrol, using his status as Governor to have them escort his various women to and from his regular suite at the Hyatt Regency. The hotel denies all knowledge that they have employed the guard who spoke out, whose name is William Taylor.

Arnold Admitted Adultery After Confrontation with Maria Shriver
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Break-ups, Divorce, Rumors,
Arnold Schwarzenegger successfully hid an affair and an illegitimate child for 13 years, so why did he decide to finally come clean? Was it a change of heart? Was it a buildup of intense guilt? No, it was the classic scenario: the wife found out about it. Did no one learn anything from the Tiger Woods debacle?
RadarOnline and Star report that Maria Shriver was suspicious of Arnold and the housekeeper, Mildred Baena, with whom he fathered a child. Under Shriver’s questioning, Baena broke and admitted to the affair. Arnold finally admitted to his wrongdoing when his wife confronted him.
Shriver has hired a top divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser, though officially no divorce proceedings have been filed. Shriver and Schwarzenegger have been married for 25 years.

Comic Lisa Lampanelli vs. The Westboro Baptist Church
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Rivalries,
Remember the church that wanted to stage a protest at screen legend Elizabeth Taylor’s memorial because she was an active AIDS humanitarian? Well, they’re not big fans of comedienne Lisa Lampanelli, either.
Lampanelli, an outspoken proponent of gay rights, has a show scheduled in Kansas this weekend, where the Westboro Baptist Church is based. The WBC is organizing a protest of Lampaenelli’s show, but she’s going to make sure it backfires.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Reveals Love Child… Now Ten Years Old
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Divorce, Rumors,
Well, this explains the recent separation. What could possibly break up a famously-in-love couple if extreme political rivalry could not? Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former Governator, has revealed that he fathered a child with a member of his staff… oh, about a decade ago. When Maria Shriver found out about it (just recently), she decided to call it quits.
Yeah, that makes sense. The mother of the child, whose identity is being withheld, worked in the household for about twenty years. She retired and now lives in a quiet little home with her four children, one of whom (TMZ reports) bears a marked resemblance to Arnold.

Levi Johnston to Write Tell-All Book
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Rivalries, Where Are They Now?,
Whether they like it or not, Levi Johnston’s name will always be linked to the Palin family. Johnston first came to attention as the father of Bristol Palin’s illegitimate child; the Playgirl and the politics came later. Now, you can add author to his credentials.
Johnston has written a tell-all titled Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs, and if any part of the book is as sensational as the title it’s already a bestseller. The book comes out this fall.
