TV Workout Pumps Up Hill
By Andie Coller
It was Paul Ryan’s abs that sold Kevin Brady.
“When I saw Paul Ryan — man, he’s gotten in great shape. He doesn’t have a six-pack; he’s got, like, a 12-pack,” Brady, a Texas Republican, says of his fellow GOP-er, who hails from Wisconsin.

Paul Newman's Politics
By John Nichols, TheNation.com
September 28, 2008
Actors do not usually turn in performances that gain the notice of presidents.
But when Paul Newman decided to take the role of anti-war activist in the early days of the Vietnam imbroglio, he performed so ably -- as an early and essential campaigner for Eugene McCarthy in 1968 and prominent supporter of George McGovern -- that he ranked high on then-President Richard Nixon's "enemies list."
Newman's name was on the original list of enemies produced by Nixon aide Charles Colson in 1971.

It amazes me how much the media does not report on Obama. Could you imagine what would have happened if Bush had done the same thing? There would be endless video coverage, talk shows making jokes, skits on SNL, etc.

Angelina Jolie is leaving Cannes abuzz with talk of Oscar possibilities and her coming twins.
After a whirlwind week, the 32-year-old star of Changeling and Kung Fu Panda, which both premiered at the film festival, is back at Paul Allen's seaside villa with Brad Pitt, 44, and their growing brood. The couple is laying low to enjoy family time, and were spotted doing some shopping in Nice.
