Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf found out that even though it’s an animated feature, Romano didn’t have any trouble connecting with his character.
“Manny is still struggling with his relationship. That was no problem for me because I just rely on my own lack of understanding about talking to women. Marriage made me harder. Parenthood made me…”

John Corbett and Nia Vardalos are together again. After their box office success in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, they’re searching for love in I Hate Valentine’s Day, which Vardalos also directed.

In Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Denis Leary returns as Diego, the fierce sabre-toothed tiger who’s really a softy.
Leary puts his trademark sardonic humor on hold in the PG animated feature, but he doesn’t pull any punches as firefighter Tommy Gavin in his FX hit Rescue Me. And as Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf found, Leary seems to channel Don Rickles as he shows no mercy to himself or his Ice Age co-star Ray Romano.
“I hate Ray because he’s so much richer and more famous than I will ever be, and, quite frankly, way less talented. OK, he’s won a couple of Emmys. But as far as I know, all he does now is play golf. I think he’s supposed to be in some new…”

How do you put into words the way you feel when the headline is flashed around the world: “Michael Jackson Is Dead?”
For many it was too shocking to absorb.
You tell yourself it’s a mistake. Then the confirmation of his death spread across the Internet, and people around the world shared their grief at his passing.
Michael Jackson was my friend, but millions who never met him felt the same void in their lives that I did.
How do you define his life and career?
Some of the memories that were flashing through my mind:
Michael and that other superstar Michael (as in, Jordan) on the basketball court in Chicago shooting hoops for the “Jam” video. The tiny King of Pop and the towering…

Jeremy Renner sizzles as Staff Sergeant William James in The Hurt Locker, and the role has already earned him an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Actor. The handsome Renner has been hoping to break out after strong performances in films like The Assassination of Jesse James and North Country, not to mention a chilling turn as the cannibalistic serial killer in Dahmer.
Playing a risk-taking bomb disposal technician in Kathryn Bigelow’s searing Iraq war drama might be his chance at becoming a household name. Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf discovered that Renner got a short course in the reality of war in the Middle East.
“I was just some jerk-ass actor pretending I was a soldier, but I felt it. And you’re going to feel like you’ve been in Iraq because it’s almost like a documentary. It was 125 degrees, and there was no escaping…”
