Andy Garcia Pays Tribute to Slain Football Star

Andy Garcia is paying a hero's tribute to Redskins Pro-Bowl safety Sean Taylor, who died Tuesday after being shot inside his Florida home during an apparent break-in.
The actor's niece, Jackie Garcia, was with her football star boyfriend Monday night when they heard loud noises. She reportedly hid in the bedroom with their 18-month-old daughter, also named Jackie, while Taylor, 24, went to investigate.
"His heroic action on that tragic night saved their life and is a testament to his humanity and courage," the Ocean's Thirteen star said in a statement to the Miami Herald. "His spirit will live forever, in our hearts and through the legacy of his achievements and the family he leaves behind.”

Who's a Big Tipper? Jude Law

Life on the set can get lonely – but luckily for Jude Law, his fiancée, Sienna Miller, was able to make the trip to Baton Rouge to visit him while he films All the King's Men, with Sean Penn and James Gandolfini. Miller, with pooches Porgy and Bess in tow, hung out in Law's trailer and walked the dogs on the grounds of the state Capitol, where cast and crew are filming. (In fact, the production took over Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco's office; she is working out of the governor's mansion. Now that's southern hospitality.) Before Baton Rouge, the crew filmed in New Orleans, where Law made quite an impression at Maximo's restaurant with costar Penn, Penn's wife, Robin Wright Penn, and four other guests by leaving an especially generous tip. "He gave me extra money to take my daughter out with," the waiter tells us. Law and friends also left behind cartoon figures drawn on the paper table settings, which were later snatched by neighboring fans.
