Movie veteran Charlton Heston has fired back at George Clooney after the hunk mocked his Alzheimer's condition on TV in America on Monday night. A ranting Clooney appeared on The Charlie Rose Show to attack both President George W. Bush's war policies and National Rifle Association president Heston's pro-gun stance. But an ill-judged joke about Heston's illness has left the Ben-Hur star firing back - using Clooney's dead aunt Rosemary Clooney. Clooney quipped, "Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer's." And Heston hit back, "It just goes to show that sometimes class does skip a generation." Meanwhile, Clooney's comments have re-sparked a war of words between him and American broadcaster Bill O'Reilly. O'Reilly attacked Clooney after his post-9/11 TV telethon, accusing him of not making sure funds went to right places - and now he's upset about "insensitive" comments made about Heston. On his show The O'Reilly Factor, the newsman lashed out, "If this had been George Clooney's first mistake I'd just mock him and forget about it, but he's clearly out of control. I believe most Americans will find these remarks meanspirited. Just imagine if someone mocked Christopher Reeve's paralysis. The Hollywood press and the elite media would go nuts, but very little has been said about Clooney's insensitivity."

Globes are Trounced by Football Competition for Golden Globes took a backseat to competition between the Tennessee Titans and the Oakland Raiders for the AFC championship. The football game, which aired on CBS, averaged 38 million viewers, while the Globes ceremonies averaged just 20 million (mostly 18-54-year-old women), the smallest audience the awards program has attracted since 1997 and three million fewer than those who tuned in last year.
Could it be that Hollywood is alienating the country with its anti-Americanism?

I agree! I thought the same thing when Julia Roberts said Republican came between repugnant and reptile. Think of the millions of people she insulted with that remark. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have hurt her career.
