His Hollywood family is worth nearly $500 million but the troubled homeless stepson of Barbra Streisand whiles away his days sitting on benches and rummaging through public trash cans. Jess Brolin, son of actor James Brolin and brother to Josh, was recently photographed picking through garbage where he lives in Ojai, California. After losing his $800 per month apartment in 2011, the 41-year-old now lives on the streets and sleeps in vacant lots not 80 miles from his millionaire showbiz family's home.

The Car is a good example of how restraint in the horror genre can work. It honors the tradition of real suspense movies by hinting at more than it shows, and inferring more than it explains. From the cryptic opening quote by Anton Le Vey to the ending in which the two main characters disagree on whether this is really the end, this "demon car" film keeps asking more questions than it answers. For some, this will bring frustration, for others, it makes the movie that much more fascinating. The "body count" is a total of 10 people, with no...

The first time Howard Zinn's now-classic book "A People's History of the United States" appeared on TV was in "The Sopranos" on HBO, when Tony's teenage son A.J. came home from school with a copy of the book and told his parents that, according to Zinn, Columbus was a slaveowner and murderer. Tony got mad, and replied, "In this house Columbus is a hero. End of story!" That was 1999. This Sunday, Dec. 13, Zinn's "The People Speak" – the documentary inspired by his books "A People's History" and "Voices of a People's History," will be broadcast on the History...

Stupid Investment of the Week If you treasure your money, steer clear of this stock,(Brolin haha!) By Chuck Jaffe, MarketWatch Last Update: 9:06 AM ET Apr 28, 2006 BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Uncovering new, tiny companies with the potential for success is a bit like hunting for treasure. You need to read the map of financials, understand the landscape of the business and do the right calculations or you are just going to wind up throwing a lot of money away with nothing to show for it. So when a company promises to be a treasure, literally and figuratively, investors should...

CBS juat aired a commercial for a 60 Min. special for Sunday night. They will be interviewing James Brolin on who Reagan really was and what it was like to play him? Fact or Fiction....? You decide:

<p>If it was about the three-hour miniseries I just watched - "The Reagans," which finally hits the air tonight at 8 on Showtime - then the people who made such a big stink about it look like a bunch of loony, paranoid alarmists.</p>

Actor James Brolin Breaks His Silence on "The Reagans" Movie. (New YOrk, NY) - Actor James Brolin has broken his silence about the controversial movie "The Reagans." The film, which has not yet aired, began to generate heavy publicity after Brolin's famous wife, Barbra Streisand, issued some harsh words against CBS for pulling the plug on the movie. During an interview, Brolin defended his wife by addressing the rumor that Streisand's Hollywood weight played a role in the tone of the script. Brolin said, "She was only on the set a short time and had not read the script. They're...

<p>Throughout his career, Ronald Reagan was always dismissed by elite opinion as a "Grade B movie actor" who had trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality. Now that same accusation has been lodged against the CBS mini-series "The Reagans." In response to complaints that this TV portrait of the Gipper is based on words his family and associates say he never uttered, CBS announced yesterday the network wouldn't be airing the series after all.</p>

Fresh from congratulating itself for 75 years of broadcasting wonderfulness, CBS now finds itself in some difficulty. Its planned miniseries, "The Reagans," was scheduled for airing later this month. Now the project is in jeopardy. Details of its slanted, heavily unflattering portrayal of the couple emerged. So did opposition from Reagan friends, loyalists and just average Americans who are acquainted with the very impressive Reagan record of achievements. Now the series may be postponed. Or even cancelled. Or possibly sold to the cable channel Showtime. (After this was written, the Drudge Report stated that CBS was giving the program to...

TRUTH ALERT: October 30, 2003What's all this fuss about Barbra Streisand's involvement in the upcoming CBS biopic about Ronald and Nancy Reagan? The Republican spin machine would like you to believe that Ms. Streisand, a well-known liberal activist, was intimately connected to the making of this film. The Drudge Report even said that she spent weeks on the set! The truth? Ms. Streisand was on the set of The Reagans for a total of only 4 hours of one day. Any one of hundreds of people involved in its making could have told Mr. Drudge this truth, if he had...

Today, as part of a project coordinated by Tim Jones, the MRC distributed a press release announcing that we have sent letters to 100 top television advertisers urging them to preview CBS's The Reagans mini-series and, if it does include the unfounded slams on Ronald and Nancy Reagan quoted by the New York Times and the DrudgeReport.com, to not allow ads for their products to be associated with the left-wing production. It looks likely that CBS is feeling the pressure over the anger which has erupted over its two-part mini-series scheduled to air on Sunday, November 16 and Tuesday, November...

(Boy, I hope this works) Dr. Scarpetta posted the list of sponsors for CBS's upcoming "Reagan Rip Job" movie to the PA board this morning.  I've compiled a list of links to e mail the sponsors so we can let them know exactly what we think of them helping to spread slanderous lies about one of the finest Presidents we've ever had.  If the links work like they should, you should go directly to a page to email them.   If anyone can find e mail addresses for the four that I couldn't, please post.   Thank you Dr. Scarpetta!!!...

History: Next month, CBS will broadcast "The Reagans," a two-part miniseries on the former president and his family. Asking for a fair portrayal was apparently too much to expect from the entertainment industry.We haven't been invited to a prescreening, nor do we have a copy of the script. But from reports, there is enough to piece together a framework of the miniseries' message, and it doesn't look as if the intent is to celebrate Ronald Reagan's presidency.But then, with James Brolin, Mr. Barbra Streisand, playing Reagan, does anyone think it will be a glowing study of the man?Streisand, of course,...
