Morgan Freeman Police

MORGAN FREEMAN HAS NO BEEF WITH POLICE

Morgan Freeman is currently promoting his new film The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain. It’s about the real-life murder of a 68 year old former Marine with bi-polar disorder who accidentally set off his medical alert device which summoned police. That led to a confusing confrontation and his death. Freeman also happens to fund a program at the University of Mississippi for evidence-based policing and reform. A Black Enterprise reporter asked Freeman how he felt about de-funding the police and was surprised when Morgan declared “I am NOT in favor of de-funding police- despite current negativity, police work is necessary and most of them are guys just doing their job!”

Academy Awards Morgan Freeman Stacey Dash

NOT EVERYBODY DISAGREES WITH STACEY DASH

It IS funny how Stacey Dash’s comments about the Oscars are so reviled, but Morgan Freeman would probably say the same thing. The “Clueless” actress, who now appears on the Fox channel, is AGAINST separate award shows like the NAACP Image Awards for blacks and says “If we don’t want segregation, we have to get rid of the BET channel and Black History Month.” Morgan Freeman agrees – he wants to be known as an actor, not a BLACK actor. They have a point. But the Oscars are driven by Hollywood studios run by those good ol’ white boys in their baseball caps (who consider themselves to be very liberal.) These guys just don’t often THINK about women or people of color when it comes to movies. Sex and sports, yes, but movies, no. Boycotting the Oscars is not the answer – take it from a woman.

Car Crash Hand Morgan Freeman

MORGAN FREEMAN DOES EVERYTHING WITH ONE HAND

Morgan Freeman wore a compression glove on his nerve damaged left had when he went to dinner at Madeo this week. The glove keeps blood from pooling in his paralyzed hand. Freeman’s shoulder, elbow, and hand were broken in that 2008 car accident in Mississippi where his car flipped and rolled on a highway. His passenger in the car was rumored to be his mistress and, sure enough, four days later Morgan filed for divorce. Unfortunately Morgan is left-handed and had to learn to do everything with his right hand – including eat. He manages to conceal his problem in movies however.

Kevin Kline Las Vegas Michael Douglas Morgan Freeman Movies Robert DeNiro

MICHAEL DOUGLAS FINISHES PLAYING LIBERACE AND MOVES ON TO PLAY A LADIES MAN

#michaeldouglas #janetcharlton

Michael Douglas has wrapped his role as Liberace in HBO’s “Behind the Candelabra,” and he’s moved on to play an aging womanizer in “Las Vegas.” He’s costarring with Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline. “Las Vegas” sounds like a great comedy – it’s about four sixty-something retired best friends who get together in Las Vegas for a bachelor party for Michael’s playboy character who‘s getting married for the first time to a woman half his age. De Niro’s character is reluctant to make the trip because years ago he had a tiff with Douglas over a woman, but the other guys talk him into it. The director jokingly calls the movie “Hangover meets Cocoon.” (By the way, Doesn’t Catherine Zeta Jones look just a LITTLE like Jersey Shore’s JWoww in the above photo?)

"Through the Wormhole" Discovery Channel Morgan Freeman Religion Science

SCIENCE VS RELIGION: MORGAN FREEMAN HAS THE VOICE FOR IT

Morgan Freeman’s new show on Discovery’s Science Channel premiers this week and sounds quite enticing. It’s called “Through the Wormhole” and the show will investigate attempts to reconcile science and religion. (For example: How Did We Get Here?) QUITE an ambitious project. Certainly Freeman has the VOICE for this exploration, but has he already made up his mind? Have YOU? Freeman has been quoted as saying “It’s hard for me to get my mind wrapped around the idea that there is an ‘intelligence’ that controls everything.”

Morgan Freeman Womanizer

THE COMPLEX LOVELIFE OF MORGAN FREEMAN

Of all people, the much admired actor Morgan Freeman, 72, seems to have one of the most outrageous love lives in Hollywood. He puts Lindsay Lohan to shame. The first we heard of all this was a couple of years ago when Morgan had that car crash with a woman who was NOT his wife Myrna. We learned that Myrna was already separated from Morgan because she accused him of having an affair with a close friend of hers. NOT the woman in the car. Recently The Enquirer has been insisting that Morgan is actually romancing his step grand-daughter E’Dena Hines, 27. Hines is the granddaughter of Morgan’s first wife Jeanette and was raised by him and Myrna. Someone revealed to the Enquirer that Morgan has been having an affair with E’Dena for ten years and she hopes to marry him and have his child. Throughout all of these charges, Morgan has been keeping constant company with blonde Lori McCreary, who has been introduced as a “producer” and his “manager.” He reportedly lives with her in Malibu. How DOES Morgan juggle so many women – and with one hand?

"Invictus" Clint Eastwood Morgan Freeman Movies

“INVICTUS IS WELL WORTH SEEING DESPITE THE SPORTS

invictus-poster-meds#69cut

We admit we had to be DRAGGED to see “Invictus,” because we have no particular interest in rugby or South African politics. (By the way, the word “Invictus” is Latin for “unconquered” – it’s the title of a poem from 1875 about never giving up.) Were WE surprised! We almost forgot what humanity Clint Eastwood brings to his movies. Sentimental Eastwood made the story light up with many personal and touching moments. It turned out to be both educating and engrossing. Matt Damon is uncharacteristically hunky as the team captain. It was also interesting to watch Morgan Freeman (who was excellent as usual) conceal his paralyzed hand. Hopefully it will heal eventually.

Few people realize that Morgan Freeman suffered long-term impairment to his left hand in that car accident in 2008. Nerve damage left the hand paralyzed and he continues to have physical therapy and must wear a special glove to keep the hand stable. How this problem is disguised in his movies remains to be seen. He’s in New York promoting “Invictus” in which he plays Nelson Mandela.
