EXCLUSIVE: Gene Hackman Talks Iraq, Gitmo, and Celebs Who Talk Politics

Quietly, with dignity and without fanfare, The Mighty Gene Hackman retired from acting in 2004 to live with his wife in New Mexico and tap out the occasional novel, his latest being “Escape From Andersonville,” a piece of historical fiction he co-wrote with Daniel Lenihan.

Though there were no announcements I’m aware of, almost immediately I knew he had retired … because almost immediately there was a disturbance in the force. Sometime during the early eighties, Hackman replaced John Wayne as my favorite working actor and rarely did a year pass without a new Gene Hackman movie – and sometimes there were as many as two or three. So when the movies stopped coming, something just felt off.  (more…)

Lately, I have had this odd urge to stalk Chelsea Handler except that I accidentally quit drinking so I can’t figure out how to casually chat her up at the SkyBar bar in West Hollywood, but perhaps my back-up plan of flashing my ginormous ta ta’s during a taping of her show on E! might work. Or maybe I should ring up her little Mexican nugget Chuy, and let him know that the gal who wanted Bill Keller of the New York Times tried for treason for publishing secrets during wartime is on the phone and wants to chew the fat with Chelsea, and straighten her liberal ass right around.
