Movie veteran Peter Graves has died at the age of 83.  He was an actor in both TV and film and is probably best known for his role as Jim Phelps in the Mission Impossible TV series and also for his role as Capt. Clarence Oveur in the 1980 hit movie Airplane! He was host of the TV show Biography for over a decade in which he won an Emmy for.  His first film was 1951′s Rouge River.

He was found dead in his home and is believed to have suffered from a heart attack. Thursday he would have turned 84. He is survived by wife Joan, their three daughters, Kelly, Claudia and Amanda, and six grandchildren.

Our sincerest condolences to his family.

The lovely new co-host of Dancing With The Stars Brooke Burke goes to lunch with a friend and her kids at the Malibu Lumber Yard in Los Angeles.  That sounds tasty although I would imagine lumber has the opposite effect of roughage.

Brooke joins Tom Bergeron for the premiere of season 10 of Dancing With The Stars on March 22.  One week today kids! Can you feel the excitement? I hope this is a great season with incredible dancing and lots o sexiness.

This is disturbing on many levels and Peaches Geldof being only 21 and Eli Roth being 38 isn’t even one of them, although I think they are at very different points in their respective lives.  However people have differing maturity levels so age alone isn’t always a factor.

But I. just. don’t. get. it.  She is a known spoiled brat and although you can not believe everything you hear and read, you have to also admit where there’s smoke there’s fire.

There have been rumours for a while about their romance and they confirmed it by appearing hand in hand at the Oscars (I did not see those pictures) and at last night’s Human Right’s Campaign Los Angeles gala.

I. just. don’t. get. it.

George Clooney is in Hawaii filming The Descendants:

A land baron and his two daughters set out on a mission to keep their family together

George is at least smiling unlike his appearance at The Oscars. Although that was part of the plan with the thing between the hosts, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, George didn’t seem his usual self.  Maybe he was tired? Perhaps Elisabetta is wearing the poor dude down.

I’m not sure I’m digging this look on George but the role clearly calls for it. The movie is directed by Alexander Payne and is expected to be released in 2011.

It has been forever since we’ve seen Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt out with the twins hasn’t it? It’s a rare sighting indeed, but here they are having lunch with Knox and Vivienne at the Grand Canal in Venice where Angelina is filming The Tourist.

You can not deny that Brad and Angelina make absolutely beautiful babies together.
