  • Pam's Freudian slip?

    If we divide "champagne" into two words, we get "sham" and "pain."

  • wait, wait, wait...

    Didn't Pamela Anderson divorce Tommy Lee (at least in part) because he'd given her hepatitis? How can she drink anything? Did she get a liver transplant we haven't heard about?

  • Clooney Splits With Soderbergh

    Funny how FOX broke this story a week after other news organizations did. Has anybody clicked on the FOX link? It's more revealing of FOX's slant than anything else. Roger Friedman's lame attempt (took him a whole week, it seems) to dish dirt with snide asides on his network's least favorite liberal doesn't add up to much. First of all, Clooney leaving Section 8 to start Smoke House with Grant Heslov isn't news, and it didn't happen suddenly. Actually, it became common knowledge last January, months before Clooney won his Oscar for "Syriana."

    Here's a quote:

    "We decided that three years ago, the minute it becomes a business we're going to get out. It doesn't mean that I won't continue to make films, it doesn't mean that Steven and I won't continue to work together either. You've got to thin the herd after awhile and start again, so it's not all meetings about posters and contracts," Clooney said at the beginning of the year.

    So this is no diva move on his part. Neither Soderbergh nor Clooney ever expected that they'd run their shop together forever. This is an amicable, long-foreseen split -- they still have "kids" like "The Good German," "Michael Clayton," and "Ocean's Thirteen" to shepherd along, and no doubt they'll work together again even after these films are released, as Clooney said. Just judging from the actors that he works with time and again, talents like Luis Guzman ("Out of Sight," "Welcome to Collinwood"), Don Cheadle ("Out of Sight," "Ocean's 11, 12, 13"), Isaiah Washington ("Out of Sight," "Welcome to Collinwood"), Sam Rockwell ("Welcome to Collinwood," "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind"), and the "Ocean's" crew, he seems to be a loyal sort who likes having familiar faces around. Soderbergh included.
