The Observer has learned that Warren Beatty, the 68-year-old actor and director, will likely join a lineup of liberal all-stars who will "group blog" on a Web site to be launched next month by coloumnist Arianna Huffington.

Geez, as if PJ-Comix wasn't busy enough with the DUmmies.
Oh god no, the most boring political voice of our time...
The world is breathless with anticipation for this blog .... I'm sure
Since these are all Hollywood actors, who's going to write for them?
They certainly haven't made their collective living by using anything beyond a short term memory exercise (daily scripts)...
I bet money they hire PR/Writers to cover their statements...
PAPER: WARREN BEATTY TO TAKE ON INTERNET, CHALLENGES DRUDGE......
Bump and ping.
20, 30, 40 years ago anything personal from Beatty would have been worth reading.
Now he's settled down into family life, why bother?
Shirley will channel one of her past lives to write for her.
Twenty or thirty years ago his entire spiel was, "I live in a hotel and like to have sex."
Now, it's, I'm really still important. I am. Really. I am. I matter. Stop laughing, damnit! I am important!
In other words, he's to show business what Al Gore is to politics.
Another case of " Hey, I'm a big Hollyweird celebrity, and I've made lots of movies, and I've contributed a lot of money to the Democrats....I MUST BE A F###### GENIUS!!!!!"
Al Gore is a wonk who, I believe, would have been much happier in life as a professor or instructor at a prep school. WB is an actor who doesn't act very much. There's a great line in a movie (can't remember the title) where the girl says, "I don't really think of you as a person, I think of you more as a vibe." That's WB.
Plus, he missed a terrific opportunity to tell the John Reed story in Reds. Instead he made the most boring political movie ever put on screen.
Thank goodness Beatty will finally have an outlet for his political musings denied him in film ...
Is Arianna still 'supporting terrorists' by taking trips in her own limos and private jet?
Oh god no, the most boring political voice of our time...
I have been sitting on the edge of my seat for this...
It takes a certain personality and intellect to:
A)Make the Russian Revolution look boring
B)Get it wrong.
Okay, lots of people do one or the other -- but it's that rare individual who can do both simultaneously.
