No More “Ocean’s” Films

July 11th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff

Looks like 13 was an unlucky number for the series of hugely popular George Clooney and Brad Pitt-starring Ocean’s films, as co-star Don Cheadle tells OK! that there won’t be another sequel.

"No," said Don when asked about whether or not there’d be an Ocean’s 14. "Done. It’s a wrap."

This sad news brings to an end the series of films, which started with 2001’s Ocean’s 11 — a semi-remake of the Frank Sinatra-starring 1960 original —and has grossed over $1 billion worldwide. In addition to Cheadle, Pitt and Clooney, the Steven Soderbergh-directed films featured a veritable who’s-who of Hollywood stars, including Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Andy Garcia, Casey Affleck, Al Pacino, Bernie Mac, Scott Caan, Elliott Gould, Carl Reiner and several others.

And even though Don won’t be working with this cavalcade of stars in the near future, he’s very excited about his current projects — producing a TV version of his Oscar-winning 2004 movie Crash for cable network Starz, and an upcoming film in which he’ll portray jazz legend Miles Davis.

Stars ‘Keep it Hollywood’ for Kidney Awareness

March 13th, 2008 / Author: cwillett

It was a happy reunion on Thursday for comedian George Lopez and his TV wife, Constance Marie (The George Lopez Show). The pair, along with Lopez’s real life wife, Ann, joined Jennie Garth, Andy Garcia and others as part of ‘Keep it Hollywood,’ an event to promote World Kidney Day in L.A.

The stars participated at stations set up to check blood pressure levels and blood sugar levels, as well as helping to raise awareness about the dangers of kidney disease.

"It’s one of the things that we’re all getting tested for," said former 90210′and Dancing With the Stars alum Jennie Garth. "It’s great to raise awareness for people. Early detection is the key to preventing and managing any disease."

Kidney health is a cause near and dear to hunky Ocean’s star Andy Garcia’s heart, who tells OK! he showed up to support his friend, George Lopez . "I’ve had friends who suffer from diabetes and some who have died from diabetes, so it’s something that I’m very much aware of, and George is a good friend of mine," Garcia tells OK!. "As you know, he’s had issues with his kidneys and stuff like that so, yeah, I think that we’re all affected by it in one way or another."

Lopez, who has battled kidney disease all of his life, underwent a kidney transplant in 2005, after his wife, Ann, donated one of her own to save his life.
