Only anarchists are pretty...

I know I can't be the only one who wondered, upon hearing the news today, if any firearm was pried from his "cold, dead hands".

Colin Farrell sex tape!

I really love this: Clooney gives O'Reilly the business.

"George Clooney seems to adhere to the motto: Keep your friends close, and your Bill O'Reillys closer.
On Wednesday, the Fox-TV talkmeister questioned Clooney's sincerity regarding the 'Ocean's Twelve' star's tsunami-relief telethon on NBC, airing Saturday night. 'If George Clooney and other stars go on TV and ask you to give, then they had better be involved all the way down the line,' O'Reilly said Wednesday.

Clooney simply responded by inviting O'Reilly to be a presenter on the show. 'This way, you can personally follow up on our fund-raising. This is your chance to put your considerable money where your considerable mouth is.

'Either you ante up and help out, or you simply stand on the sidelines and cast stones, proving that your Jan. 6 TV show was nothing more than a "box of lights and wires" designed to make you wealthy.'

The letter was signed simply, 'Your fan, George Clooney.'

Christina Aguilera, Sheryl Crow and Tim McGraw have already signed on for the fund-raiser.

The Fox host had raised the same concerns when Clooney helped organize a telethon for victims of Sept. 11 - only to see Clooney and Julia Roberts, Bruce Springsteen, Celine Dion and others rake in $150 million that was turned over to the United Way.

A rep for O'Reilly did not return calls."

Anyway, he's an expert on the legal rights of dead celebrities, and often represents heirs of celebrities. He represented some of the descendents of the Three Stooges (Moe & Curley, actually). Sweeeeeeeet. I need to get a job at this guy's firm in L.A., huh? ;)
