INDIANA JONES CANINE STYLE
“I have two dogs, one I like that likes me and one I don’t like that doesn’t like me. One is a little mutt that thinks he’s the sole protector of my nine-year-old son and at night when we’re in my son’s bed trying to get him to put his head down and go to sleep, every time I reach for my son, the little mutt tries to bite me.”
Harrison Ford
KEVIN SPACEY SHARES HIS LOVE FOR MINNIE – THE DOG
I have had a dog now for 12 years. Her name is Minnie. She’s actually what you call a Patterdale which is a mix between a Jack Rusell and a terrier.
I got her at a great place in London called the Battersea Dogs Home which is a fantastic rescue home for dogs and she’s with me all the time.
I love having dogs. I drive my friends slightly crazy because when I’m walking down the street and see a dog I will stop and say hello to it.

While police were taking computer hard drives, compact discs and boxes of files from the home and office of slain Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen in search of clues, a fellow publicist was establishing a reward fund for information leading to an arrest and conviction related to her death.
Michael Levine says his goal is to raise $25,000 in the next week. “We must do everything possible to assist the Beverly Hills police in solving this horrific crime,” he told Daily Variety. “Ronni gave the utmost for her clients and this industry.”
Chasen, who had close ties to the Hollywood Foreign Press and, since the early 1970s had coordinated interviews for members with her clients, was driving home from the Burlesque premiere and party when she was shot five times in the chest.
When news of the slaying broke, some studios cancelled meetings and conference calls that had been scheduled to strategize their Oscar campaigns—Chasen’s specialty.
A funeral service will be at 11am on Sunday at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary.
UPDATE: RONNI CHASEN KILLED AFTER PREMIERE
Police are investigating the death of Ronni Chasen, 64, a longtime Hollywood publicist with strong ties to the Hollywood Foreign Press, who was found shot in her car in Beverly Hills.
Authorities said she had multiple gunshot wounds.
She was on her way home after Monday’s night’s premiere of Screen Gems’ Burlesque at Grauman’s Chinese Theater. She was working for the studio on the Oscar campaign for the film’s soundtrack and had been escorting songwriter Diane Warren, a longtime client who worked on “Burlesque,” around the premiere.
Chasen, head of PR firm Chasen and Co., had been a fixture in showbusiness since the early 1970s, and coordinated many interviews for the HFPA.

KEVIN COSTNER BACK ON SCREEN
There’s a good reason why double Golden Globe winner Kevin Costner hasn’t been seen on the big screen for a while.
“What I’ve been doing for the past four years is having babies, building, writing a lot of music and writing screenplays,” the 55-year-old actor tells Hollywood Foreign Press members.
Kevin, who has three children aged three, one and five months by his wife of six years, Christine Baumgarten, adds: “I haven’t worked for a really long time. I tend to make movies that aren’t sequels so I’m not exactly in vogue.”
But he has a new film coming out soon, The Company Men, which also stars Ben Affleck and Tommy Lee Jones and in which he plays a construction boss who hires his brother-in-law who has been laid off from his high-powered job.
Costner won his Golden Globes for producing and directing Dances with Wolves in 1991.
