Ben Gazzara Dies at 81
Originally posted 02/03/2012 09:15PM
Ben Gazzara, who made a career of playing virile roles on stage, screen, TV and in real life, died Friday in Manhattan. He was 81.
The cause was pancreatic cancer, his lawyer told The New York Times.
Accomplished as an actor, dapper and irresistible to women, Gazzara came by his many streetwise roles naturally. Born Biagio Anthony Gazzara on Manhattan's Lower East Side, the child of an Italian immigrant carpenter and roofer got the acting bug starting at age 12, at the Madison Square Boys' Club. "My voice was this deep even then," he told PEOPLE in 1976.
The urge to perform "screwed up my schooling," he said, "because up until then I was a fantastically gifted student. I stayed out of school 54 days in a row and went to movies."

"It was a blast!" Kardashian writes of taking siblings Kim, Kourtney and Rob as well as mom Kris during a recent visit. "We all thought Rob was going to be a pro because of [Dancing With the Stars] but he was actually really bashful about it!"

We'd like to buy a trend.

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe tells the British celebrity magazine Heat that he went to work on the set while drunk.
But unlike Sajak's lighthearted account of margaritas with Vanna White on filming breaks, Radcliffe, 22, shares a darker experience.

Jessica Biel's New Ring – Is It a Movie Prop?
Originally posted 02/03/2012 03:00PM
Jessica Biel has some new bling, but don't get too excited: It's not from Justin!
The actress, who has yet to be spotted wearing an engagement sparkler, was sporting a ring on the set of her new movie Emmanuel and the Truth About Fishes, filming in L.A. Friday, but it's just for the role.
The thriller, which also stars Alfred Molina, is reportedly about a woman who develops an obsession with her new neighbor who resembles the woman's dead mother.
Off-camera, Biel has been noticeably spotted without any engagement ring. At the Golden Globes, she wore a ton of Tiffany & Co. jewelry – including a diamond ring in platinum – but her left ring finger was bare. The actress made other public appearances, including a party at the Chateau Marmont, sans ring that weekend as well.
