January 14 - The National Board of Review of Motion Pictures sure draws an A-list Hollywood crowd for their annual awards gala. This year directors Francis Ford Coppola, Pedro Almodovar, George Lucas and Todd Haynes joined an army of top-name actors for this pre-Oscar award ceremony. George Clooney injured his Achilles tendon playing basketball, but that didn't slow him down - he raced around, the fastest person on crutches we've ever seen. Carey Lowell laughed when husband Richard Gere hugged Chicago co-star Queen Latifah, then laid his head on her chest. Michael Moore now feels badly about the way alzheimers-stricken Charlton Heston came off in his film Bowling for Columbine. Meanwhile, if anyone finds out what the National Board of Review is, let us know.
