Morgan Freeman: In With the Life, Out With the Wife

Whit Honea — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:01:00 GMT

Morgan Freeman has had a rough week. First he had an auto accident (he is currently listed in fair condition) that must have scared the beejezus out of his family and now just a few days later the 71-year-old actor is getting divorced.

That must be a weird thing for his kids and grandchildren- that emotional roller coaster. It really throws Christmas for a loop.

Freeman and Myrna Colley-Lee have been married 24 years. TWENTY-FOUR YEARS!

Morgan Freeman 'In Good Spirits'

Karen — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 19:08:00 GMT

Just to follow up on our beloved Morgan Freeman, he is 'in good spirits' as he awaits surgery following a near-fatal car accident that resulted in him being removed from the wrecked car with the jaws of life and transported to hospital.

"He has a broken arm, broken elbow and minor shoulder damage but he is in good spirits," said Donna Lee. "He is going to have surgery this afternoon or tomorrow to correct the damage. He says he'll be okay and is looking forward to a full recovery."

We wish him well. I'm sure with 10 grandkids, he is surrounded by loving family.

Morgan Freeman in Critical Condition

Morgan Freeman was in a car crash in Memphis that has left the star in critical condition. There was a female passenger in the car that was also taken to the hospital.

Authorities believe that Freeman may have fallen asleep at the wheel. They say that is car flipped several times.

Morgan Freeman's kids are all grown now and after 30 minutes on Google and Wikipedia I still can't tell you whether or not he has grandchildren [added- he has 10], so perhaps his story isn't easily justified to the pages of FameCrawler, but still, he's Morgan Freeman and who doesn't care about him?

Freeman may not think fondly on his time as an actor on "The Electric Company," but I do. He's gone on to bigger and better things, but he did his part in shaping my childhood, and for that I am grateful.

Best of luck to Mr. Freeman and his passenger.

A Bunch of Our Regulars Got Together to Shoot Some Good

A regular who's who put their collective celebrity together to make the case for universal healthcare. None of them need it obviously, but it's nice to know they care.

Angelina Jolie is Supermom

Whit Honea — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 18:38:00 GMT

Seriously. How the hell does she do it? I bet she has Shiloh strapped on her back and a bun in the oven. Then after she drops Maddox off at school she'll leave Zahara and Pax with Morgan Freeman and go home and have drug-free, yet incredibly freaky sex with lucky number 4. At some point she'll write up a proposal for world peace and make dinner. Then more sex.

I bet she and Brad totally have sex multiple times a day. Wouldn't you?

New Troop Withdrawl Plan, Let Angelina Jolie Adopt Them

Whit Honea — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 20:25:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may actually save the planet at the rate they're going. They spent last week working for relief in New Orleans and now Angelina is in Iraq to observe the humanitarian crisis there. It's pretty damn impressive.

Reports People:

The actress and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, 32, flew from New York to Syria on Monday. In Damascus, she visited a UNHCR registration center and spend hours talking to Iraqi refugees in their homes.

Tuesday's journey took her to Iraq to meet with 1,200 refugees camped out in a makeshift outpost at the border, because they are unable to leave the country. She also witnessed dozens of Iraqis crossing into Syria.

"I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to the humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR and its partners," Jolie said in a statement. "My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq."

Following her Tuesday meeting with those at the Al Waleed camp in the war-torn nation, Jolie said, "It is absolutely essential that the ongoing debate abut Iraq's future includes plans for addressing the enormous humanitarian consequences these people face."

Besides her activities for UNHCR, Jolie also met privately with American troops and other multi-national forces in the region.

At this rate Brangelina should have world peace by Thursday (just in time for the long weekend!). If I were Al Gore or Bono I think I'd pick it up a bit.

I honestly don't know how the Jolie-Pitt collective does it. I only have two kids and I can't find the time to mow the lawn, let alone rebuild cities and campaign for rights across foreign soil. I guess having Morgan Freeman watch the kids really opens up the schedule.

I wonder if they'll talk to my local councilman about getting more shade at the dog park. That would be awesome.
