Paul Newman

Wolverine star Hugh Jackman had his hands and feet immortalized in cement in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater yesterday.

He joins the ranks of only about 175 other Hollywood legends, including Marilyn Monroe, Jack Nicholson, Paul Newman and John Wayne, who have received the honor.

Hmmm. We wonder if Nicholson wore as much bronzer to his handprint ceremony.

Jackman’s new film, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, opens on May 1st and looks totally bitchin’.

We’ve always hated the In Memoriam section of award shows, especially when the audience claps loudly for certain really famous people and sits quietly for others. It’s just sad and uncomfortable.

This year, however, the Oscars have chosen to honor the recent dearly departed with a serenade from Queen Latifah, who we adore, who will be singing Billie Holiday’s “I’ll Be Seeing You” (like in The Notebook) while clips and photos of stars like Heath Ledger, George Carlin and Paul Newman are shown.

Heath Ledger now officially has the sad honor of joining an elite group of celebrities who have made more money after than their deaths than while they were living.

Others on the Forbes list of wealthiest dead celebrities list include Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Paul Newman, who just just passed away this past September, and James Dean, who has consistently made the list for over 50 years.

Tonight at 8pm, just as the curtains are set to rise, all of the theaters on Broadway will dim their lights for one minute in honor of Paul Newman’s passing.

It’s the Great White Way’s version of tipping a forty to their homie.

Newman premiered on Broadway in 1953’s Picnic and went on to star in four more productions including his last as the stage manager in 2002’s revival of Our Town.

Newman died of cancer last Friday at the age of 83.

Tom Hanks has spoken out about his fond memories of his Road to Perdition co-star Paul Newman, who has recently passed away.

As Hollywood continues to reverberate with the sadness of Paul Newman’s passing on Saturday from cancer, his co-stars and fans continue to speak out in his honor.

Newman's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof co-star Elizabeth Taylor issued a rare public statement following his death.

She said, "He was purity of heart. Working with him was such a joy. Knowing him, being his friend, was as golden as the sunset and a privilege I'll never forget."

Are you kidding us? Is this a joke?

Yesterday we lose Paul Newman, and today we wake to the news that the hottie with the body, Ryan Reynolds, has married Scarlett HoJo Johansson! The universe is cruel.

Ryan, 31, and HoJo, 23, have been engaged since May and were reportedly married in a remote wilderness resort on an island off the coast of Vancouver in Ryan’s native Canada. We hope Scarlett gets eaten by a bear. We hate her freakin’ guts and doubt this marriage will last past the seven year itch. HoJo will be a divorcee before she’s 30.

What a lucky hooch!!!

Back in May, we were asked to write a story about male stars in Hollywood that had a legendarily permanent place in the hearts, minds and loins of fans. The piece was called "The Men Who Taught Us to Love" and included actors like George Clooney, John Travolta and Brad Pitt, but in honor of his passing, we'd like to share what we wrote about the man who took our Number One spot, Mr. Paul Newman.

Legendary actor and philanthropist Paul Newman died Friday at his home in Connecticut from cancer. He was 83.

Newman was an Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning American actor, a champion racecar driver, and the founder of Newman's Own, the food company which donates all of its profits and royalies to charity - over $220 million so far. He was also half of one of Hollywood's most enduring love stories. Newman married actress Joanne Woodward in 1958 and our heart goes out to her after this terrible loss.
