Jessica Biel Checks Out “Darfur Now”

If you happened to be in Los Angeles last night, you may have caught a glimpse of Jessica Biel’s cute new haircut.  She was out and about, scoping the new film “Darfur Now.”

The 7th Heaven hottie was sporting a Posh/Katie-inspired ‘do at the film’s premiere.  And it went well with her chic ensemble.

Brad Pitt and George Clooney: Oceans Flow For Darfur

Ocean’s Thirteen debuted this week at the Cannes Film Festival.  And according to Oceans’ star Brad Pitt, the film feels very natural. “We’ve known each other too long - we know each other’s families - and it’s just an instantaneous rhythm that sets in,” said Pitt. “And, of course, the movies themselves have never been high drama ... (fun) is the point of it.”

Even cooler though, the stars of the Ocean’s films have found a higher calling with their stardom.  George Clooney, Don Cheadle, Brad Pitt and company came to the world’s largest film festival to raise money and awareness for the the Darfur refugees.

Adam Sandler Saves the Day

If you’re David Letterman, and you can’t do your nightly “Late Show” gig, who do you call?  A CBS spokesperson stated that Letterman had to go home sick with a stomach virus, but he was able to find a last minute fill-in to handle his “Late Show” hosting duties: Adam Sandler.

Sandler was already scheduled to appear on the show as a guest, along with actor Don Cheadle, to promote their new film “Reign Over Me,” a drama about a man who reconnects with a college roommate after losing his whole family in the Sept. 11 attacks.

“Reign Over Me” An Emotional Success

“Reign Over Me” is a story set in post 9/11 era, detailing one man’s attempt to rebound and overcome what he has lost.

This emotionally heartwrenching movie stars many, but mostly features Adam Sandler (Charlie Fineman) and Don Cheadle (Alan Johnson). 

The movie follows Charlie as he struggles to cope with the devastating loss of his family after the September 11th attacks.  Charlie and Alan are old college roommates who happen to bump into each other six years after the events of 9/11 take place.  The two quickly connect and Alan winds up being the support that Charlie needs to overcome his emotional grief.
