  • Hayworth Challenges McCain; Is This About Now or Later?

      Comments
    Permit me a grim, but realistic thought. John McCain seems like a very healthy man for a 73-year-old, but he's still 73. In August he turns 74. He wants to run for another six-year term.

  • Zoe Saldana Na’vi Sex Scene Added to Avatar Special Edition DVD

The James Cameron directed “Avatar” has grossed more than $1 billion worldwide, and could challenge the biggest grossing film of all time, Cameron’s “Titanic” before all is said and done. But “Titanic” had some help from steamy sex scenes between stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslett, who also appeared nude in the film.

    Patrick Swayze has died. The actor has sadly passed away after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57.

    A statement from Swayze’s publicist:

    “Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months.”

    I’ll always remember Patrick Swayze in two of my most all-time favorite movies “Ghost” and “Dirty Dancing“. He was an amazing actor, dancer and human being! he will be sadly missed. God Bless
