It's a pleasure to report that fellow Mississippian Morgan Freeman is out of the hospital. 4 days ago he had a car accident. He reports a good stay in the hospital and is glad to be home. His great cinema work is far ranging. An Oscar in 2005 came his way. Mr. Freeman's work to help our state and support Blues music is to be admired. If you ever watch the Food Network be sure and catch the Rachel Ray episode that features him. They are a hoot! Mr. Freeman, I hope you are playing golf again soon! E! Online has a related article.
Saw Robert Downey, Jr. on Letterman a few nights ago. His latest screen venture is playing a black Australian actor in Tropic Thunder. Yep, that's right, black Australian actor. This movie is controversial, but not because of Downey's role. Seems some activist groups don't like the use of the word retard. People that have reviewed it are saying go see it. Tom Cruise has a strange, funny role along with Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Nick Nolte, Steve Coogan, Amy Stiller, Matthew McConaughey and Downey. There are many cameo appearances by various stars. Check out the technology section of Business Week. Strange place for a movie review, huh?
"An Oprah episode, in which Tom Cruise jumped on the couch and around the set, became so infamous that it was rerun the following week. It spawned the slang term "jumping the couch" which actually became an entry in Oxford's Historical Dictionary of American Slang."
