ANNETTE BENING CARRIES THE TORCH

Looks like Annette Bening, 65, has taken up where her husband Warren Beatty, 86, left off when it comes to political issues. (That’s Annette in the navy shirt at the strike) She’s the chair woman of the Entertainment Community Fund – they give financial help to out of work actors for rent, medical care, and food. And it looks like SAG/AFTRA members will be needing it if this strike continues. Warren could be staying out of sight because J Randy Taraborelli’s book on Jackie Kennedy was just released (“Jackie: Public, Private, Secret”) and it reveals that Jackie dated playboy Warren briefly and confided that she thought he he was no big deal in the bedroom. Yikes…

KATIE HOLMES IS RELIVING JACKIE KENNEDY’S LIFE

This is Katie Holmes’second time playing Jacqueline Kennedy, but there IS a difference. Her current film, The Kennedys: After Camelot is all about Jackie O when she was with Aristotle Onassis. Katie must have mixed feelings about her ex-husband Tom Cruise these days. On one hand she’s glad that he’s not around, BUT Tom has been neglecting their little girl Suri. Tom sold his California home where he used to love entertaining Suri when he had custody time with her. It seems he’s always working and has no time for Suri, but he sees his other kids (with Nicole Kidman.) Scientology doesn’t want members to stay in touch with relatives who have left the church, but celebrity Tom wouldn’t have such restrictions. So why doesn’t he spend time with Suri? Is he just a bad dad? (Above, Katie is filming in Toronto)

THE BUTLER: EIGHT PRESIDENTS AS SEEN THRU THE EYES OF A WHITE HOUSE SERVANT

Everything we hear about Lee Daniels’“The Butler” makes us more eager than ever to see it. It’s based on the epic story of a White House butler who served 8 presidents over three decades, throughout the civil rights era. Forrest Whitaker plays the butler and Oprah Winfrey plays his wife. Minka Kelly (above) was just cast as Jackie Kennedy with Matthew McConaughey as JFK. John Cusack plays Richard Nixon, and Alan Rickman and Jane Fonda were cast as the Reagans. Liam Neeson is up for the part of Lyndon Johnson. It starts shooting this summer. All in all, it sounds historically and politically fascinating.
