Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, the lovebirds-turned-Hollywood power couple who met while filming 1988's "Bull Durham," separated over the summer after 23 years together and have called it quits. Today it was made official. Publicist Teal Cannady confirmed the split and said no further comments are forthcoming. Sarandon, 63, and Robbins, 51, have two sons together -- Jack, 20, and Miles, 17. Sarandon has a daughter, actress Eva Amurri, from a previous relationship. Though they were together for more than two decades ... ... the couple never married, attracting attention for that, for the difference in their ages and for...

What do you wear when you're invited to lunch with Michelle Obama? If you're Rebecca Martinez, a 17-year-old at Sheridan High School, you wear a satin blouse and a pencil skirt "because it's so in right now." If you're actress Susan Sarandon, you wear a slouchy off-white jacket, roomy trousers and sneakers because you've been around long enough to know how high heels torture your feet after you've been standing for a couple of hours. If you're actress Fran Drescher and want everyone to know you're still a hottie, you wear a curve-hugging navy- blue sweater dress and knee-high boots.snipEighty...

For years now, the bloated full of themselves super-rich in Hollywood have been preaching socialism to the rest of us while personally engaging in both the worst form of capitalist exploitation of the masses and very un-socialist snobbery. I guess the examples Penn, Sarandon and Robbins so loudly and “nobly” laud, are meant for lesser mortals to follow not for the likes of their own elite! I am even willing to bet that if fatcat Michael Moore is ever in need of serious medical treatment, getting treatment in Cuba will not be a choice he’ll consider. These self-important Hollywood types...

Susan Sarandon Criticizes Hillary ClintonSusan Sarandon won't be playing Hillary Clinton anytime soon in a movie. She's just publicly attacked the Senator, calling her a "whiner." When Sarandon was asked if she'd ever play Hillary, she replied, "No…At this point, to say after what's happened to her campaign and how they squandered all that money and all the different reasons her campaign fell apart, to blame it on sexism, I find so destructive to every young girl who dreams about making a difference through government. Instead of saying, 'Look how far I've gotten and you can do it too,' and...

SUSAN SARANDON, who appeared in three films last year and won kudos for her TV movie "Bernard and Doris," is still not a contented soul. She says if John McCain gets elected, she will move to Italy or Canada. She adds, "It's a critical time, but I have faith in the American people."

Another anti troop anti war film by our friend Paul Haggis. This time on Iraq. (Yes this Iraq War). Can't they make anything positive about us?!?!!? THe trailer looks so CLiche, I just hope this film flops. Any way the following wwas written by Jason Apuzo Check out the trailer above for the forthcoming In the Valley of Elah. Here’s all you need to know: Iraq War. Paul Haggis. Charlize Theron. Susan Sarandon.

STRANGE and unfamiliar sound emanated from Hollywood yesterday - total silence. It now looks as if the 9/11 attacks were just meant to be a tepid dress rehearsal for the big show. The atrocities that were narrowly averted yesterday - planes bound for our shores, to be blown up in midair by men who hate - prove one thing beyond doubt: If we care to watch our children grow up, get old enough to retire to Florida, or simply live to see another dawn, we must be vigilant. We cannot relax. The bullet we dodged whizzed by frighteningly close. That...

IT'S hard to believe those gentle, playful dolphins we all love are actually ultra-horny, dangerously jealous creatures - but Jessica Alba and Susan Sarandon can tell you it's true from personal experience. Alba learned just how sex-crazed the lovable mammals are when she filmed the 1990s "Flipper" remake. "Dolphins get excited, even when you are a human being and they have long, long," the "Sin City" hottie told MTV. ". . . I didn't know this until I was being poked by a few of them, which was very rude. I sort of requested female dolphins after that because those...

ANTI-WAR activist Cindy Sheehan and Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon have urged Prime Minister John Howard to pull Australian troops out of Iraq. Mrs Sheehan, whose son was killed while serving with US troops in Iraq, will visit Australia next week (May 22) for a series of anti-war rallies. She said Mr Howard had been a fool to follow US President George W. Bush into war. "Absolutely," she said. "I think that George Bush is a fool and anybody who aligns with George Bush right now, especially with his administration crumbling from this corruption, I think they should distance themselves and...

Actress Susan Sarandon, known for her liberal politics, says she's unhappy with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. "I find Hillary Clinton to be a great disappointment," Miss Sarandon told More magazine, for publication today. "She seems to be a very bright woman. I've met her. But she's lost her progressive following because of her caution and centrist approach. It bothers me when she voted for the war," Sarandon said. Clinton voted in 2002 to authorize the Iraq war and is a member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee. The former first lady defended her vote in November, calling upon the U.S....

Sarandon to play Cindy Sheehan in Movie.

The sun is rising over a house in the Berkeley Hills, and in its modest studio apartment, America's most compelling anti-war activist is making her bed, apologizing for the clutter and running late. Cindy Sheehan was up much of the previous night while emergency room doctors treated her daughter for a painful cyst, but sleeping in is out of the question. Soon a car will whisk her off to a Canadian TV interview, to be followed by a local TV interview, and finally, fixing spaghetti for her three adult children in Vacaville -- her home before the death of her...

In the rearview mirror, objects often look smaller than they did when we passed them. Lots of people were thrown--or threw themselves--into the spotlight this year, many of whom we will never see again, unless they have shrewd publicists or the reality shows get desperate. But they can always think with fondness or remorse of 2005, when, for a while, theirs were the names on everyone's lips.

U.S. actress Susan Sarandon arrives at the Cinema Palace in Venice September 6, 2005 for the premiere of U.S. director John Turturro's latest movie 'Romance and cigarettes', which is screening at the Venice film festival.

In Surrounded by Idiots, Mike Gallagher, one of the top radio talk show hosts in America, takes us to the front lines of the unprecedented cultural and political war confronting all decent Americans. The 2004 election was a watershed moment in our nation's history, and while it was shocking to the left to see so many red states on the electoral map, to conservatives it was just an affirmation of what they'd known all along – conservatives are the mainstream and liberals are the fringe. It is not the time to rest or take things for granted, Mike Gallagher argues....

"War of the Worlds" Spielberg-esque Message: Don't Fight Terror By Debbie Schlussel I'm violating Steven Spielberg's review policy for "War of the Worlds" and telling you what I think ahead of tomorrow's scheduled release date. I saw the movie at a press screening, last night, and was disturbed by the message: Don't fight terror, and everything will work out. (Security was literally tighter than that for going to the White House to meet the President. No purses allowed. Three wandings by security.) It's bad enough that Steven Spielberg is adding "balance" and factual inaccuracy to the story of the Israeli...

You know the Left is in big trouble when they look upon Hollywood actress, Susan Sarandon, as some sort of political guru as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled, “Susan Sarandon on CSpan nailed it, the Dems need to understand the difference in beliefs between rurals and urbans.” What next for the DUmmies? Will they look to Bianca Jagger for campaign advice? Maybe Madonna will be seen as a source for religious inspiration. OH WAIT! She already is looked upon as an expert in metaphysics with her watered down celeb Kabbala routine. While we are at it,...

Here is something that should not surprise you. In a two-year study of more than 100,000 high school student and educators, a majority of students believed that flag burning was illegal, and that the government could censor the internet. Another shocker was that most high school students think that the first amendment goes too far in protecting our rights to free speech, press and religion. Our public school system has absolutely failed this country. The foundation of our way of life is spelled out in the constitution, and nothing should be more sacred to our citizens than the first ammendment....

In this time of traditional thanksgiving for the families, friendships, freedoms and bounties we enjoy, it's only appropriate that we Republicans - in the spirit of appreciation, graciousness, charity and comity - give thanks to those whose contributions were instrumental in securing control of both houses of Congress, a majority of governorships, a plurality of state legislatures, a clear majority of the popular vote (for the first time in 16 years) and, of course, the re-election of President George W. Bush. Thank you, Terry McAullife. You will no doubt be remembered as the worst-ever chairman of the Democratic National Committee....

From Maureen Dowd's brother Kevin, a salesman who lives in Montgomery County, Md., here is a recent e-mail message, trimmed for space, he sent to friends: "Ladies and Gentlemen, Now, just as four years ago, I breathe a huge sigh of relief and rejoice in the common sense of the American voting public. Congratulations to President Bush for winning re-election in a poker game played with a stacked deck. No candidate, including Richard Nixon, ever had to endure the biased and unfair tactics of our major media in their attempt to influence the outcome of an election. He never complained,...

"Team America" Rocks October 14 , 2004 Printer Friendly No wonder Sean Penn is miffed at Matt Stone and Trey Parker. He and other liberal airhead celebs--like Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, and Alec Baldwin--finally get their comeuppance. They’re dismembered, incinerated, and otherwise tortuously eliminated by the “South Park” creators. Unfortunately, it’s just the puppet version. And it’s only on celluloid. The real-life versions of these self-righteous glitterati pains in the rear are still with us. But it’s always nice to fantasize -- as Stone and Parker do in Team America: World Police, a cinematic political satire, which debuts Friday. Just...

LIVINGSTON - With a brisk walk, actress Susan Sarandon made an unannounced trip Wednesday to Texas to visit her pen pal — a convicted murderer on death row. She had corresponded with the inmate, James Vernon Allridge III, for several years after buying some of the detailed drawings of flowers and animals he creates with colored pencils. Prison officials said she had only recently been put on his visitation list, and she would not tip her hand as to why she had come to see Allridge, who is scheduled for execution Aug. 26. "I'm trying to be as low-profile as...

Actress Sarandon visits Texas condemned killer04:35 PM CDT on Wednesday, July 14, 2004Associated Press LIVINGSTON -- Actress Susan Sarandon spoke with a convicted killer for about two hours Wednesday in a Texas death row visit. Sarandon declined to talk with reporters after she met with James Allridge, III at the Polunsky Unit in Livingston. Sarandon is a death penalty opponent who won an Academy Award for her portrayal of an anti-capital punishment nun in the film "Dead Man Walking." Allridge, who declined to speak with reporters Wednesday, faces execution August 26. He was condemned for the 1985 shooting death of...

• At least one Northern Virginia moviegoer walked out in a huff after watching just a half-hour of "Fahrenheit," and she wants our readers to know about it. Loyal Republican Lenora Tomalin, 81, called us to report that she left her relatives in their seats at the Regal theater in Sterling and headed for the lobby during the scene when Moore, in a voiceover, suggests thoughts President Bush might have had in a Florida classroom the morning of Sept. 11. "I was enraged . . . I thought it was very sophomoric," she says. "There was laughter and I would...

Once again it is awards season in Hollywood, where hardware is handed out and acceptance speeches filled with the ramblings of elites who forget to pay homage to those who truly are responsible for their immense wealth and success, the regular Joe’s and Jane’s who pay to see them on the big and little screens. Oft times these award events are used as pulpits for the political rants and diatribes against our current administration, policies, and Americans who are supportive of them. In honor of this award giving season I will now announce my first annual “Foot in Mouth” awards,...

I was listening to Rush Limbaugh's radio show at 11am and heard a CBS news report of Susan Sarandon's take on Howard Stern being dropped/suspended from several Clear Channel radio stations. She said that it was a "chill wind" and censorship. She also said that while she did not agree with Howard's radio program, that people could just turn it off. It's a good thing I was not at a microphone at that moment, I sufferred a 20-second bout with Tourette's Syndrome calling Ms. Sarandon every name in the book. For those who don't recall, she was pivotal in the...

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A prominent national Islamic civil rights organization today called on nationally-syndicated radio talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger to apologize for what the group called an "anti-Muslim tirade" on her Nov. 17 program. ("Dr. Laura's" radio program is heard by 12 million listeners on some 270 stations nationwide.) The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said it received a number of complaints from Muslims who said Schlessinger's remarks crossed the line from legitimate commentary on terrorism to Islamophobic bigotry. The offensive comments came in response to a mother who asked whether her 16-year-old daughter...

Good afternoon, or, as John Kerry might say: “Bonjour!” I'm sure you've already heard a good many speakers today and will hear a bunch more after I'm done. So you'll probably judge my speech more on its brevity than its persuasiveness. But that's okay, because as you may have heard, we Republicans from Texas aren't known for our el-o-qua-city. But we are known for being clear. So in the interests of clarity, I have a simple message to pass along: the national Democrat party seems to have lost its marbles. Though they remain a potent electoral machine, armed with battalions...

Susan Sarandon and the other left-wing thought police who tried to force Dr. Laura Schlessinger from the airwaves can go have a good cry: Her ratings are up, up, up. Talkers magazine says Dr. Laura's "stunning accomplishment" is an increased audience during Operation Iraqi Freedom, when programmers, radio execs and other so-called experts figured the war coverage would leave her out in the cold. "These skeptics have been proven wrong," the magazine's June issue reports. "Clearly the baseline of what is considered talk radio's core constituency is longer and larger than was previously assessed. ... The big winner is talk...

OSSINING, N.Y. (AP)--Pete Seeger was in New York City's Union Square in 1953 along with 5,000 other supporters of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg as the hour of the couple's execution drew near. ``We were waiting and hoping Eisenhower would give a last-minute reprieve,'' says Seeger, now 84. ``We learned that wouldn't happen, and then a great sigh, a great wail went up from the crowd when the time came and we knew they'd been executed.'' On the 50th anniversary of the execution Thursday, Seeger, Susan Sarandon, Harry Belafonte and other show business activists will appear at a benefit for the...

'Bull Durham' stars giving money to food bank Director Shelton also taking part in donation to Cooperstown charity Cooperstown News Bureau COOPERSTOWN - Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins and Ron Shelton, the co-stars and director of the baseball movie, "Bull Durham" have decided to make a donation to the Cooperstown Food Bank.

It will total more than the $377 collected for the food bank last Wednesday during two screenings of "Bull Durham" at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, he said. "We...

Those are the words and thoughts of Jill Nelson, “journalist, teacher and author. She is a regular contributor to MSNBC.com.” After reading her May 2, 2003, editorial, it’s no wonder she fears America more than al-Qaida or the Taliban, she hates the country as much as the terrorists, and as they say, “the enemy of my enemy…” Here we have all that is wrong with America. An American teacher, journalist and author who can speak her mind on a website visited by millions, explaining her dread at having a government that is willing to fight for her right to speak...

Boycotts don't work, America cannot beat anyone in a war, the supply lines are too thin, Iraqi resistance is stiff, the Arab street will rise up, and my favorite, "There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!" The bottom line is that the Left wants everyone to believe them, or in the case of the former Iraqi Minister of Information Baghdad Bob, believe anything but what is actually happening.....

The Brooklyn Academy of Music has stepped up to the plate to host the 15th anniversary screening of baseball film "Bull Durham" on Wednesday.... (sorry, I'm not a subscriber to Variety.com, so this is the best I could do!).

THE taxpayer-funded folks at Lincoln Center have a thing for aging actresses who undermine the morale of American soldiers during wartime. Liberation-loathing Susan Sarandon will be getting the equivalent of a lifetime-achievement award when she's feted at the Film Society of Lincoln Center's 2003 gala tribute May 5. The last woman to be so honored was Jane Fonda in 2001, who earned the handle "Hanoi Jane" for broadcasting anti-American propaganda to our troops during the Vietnam War.

Wednesday, April 23, 2003Hollywood Appeasers Cash In on Anti-U.S. RantsDon't believe the whining of Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon and other Tinseltown leftists who claim they're paying a price for opposing Operation Iraqi Freedom. They're getting rich from their anti-U.S. activism, according to the liberal Washington Post. Consider this boast from Janeane Garofalo, who still refuses to make the apology she so publicly promised after Iraqi citizens welcomed their U.S.-led liberators.
