Tom Hanks had an interesting look on his face when he appeared on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival for the premier of his Wes Anderson science fiction film Asteroid City.

Obviously Rita Wilson appreciated her husband Tom Hanks chivalrous response to a fan shoving her to get closer to him – among other things. For Father’s Day, she posted this appealing photo captioned “Happy Father’s Day!!! He can do it all” Photo: Instagram
The funniest thing we heard this week was Chet Hanks whining that people “hate him” because he comes from a famous and wealthy family. He actually went on to say that his father Tom Hanks was “not a strong male role model” because he didn’t warn Chet, 31, that people might react that way. Chet Continue reading “CHET HANKS: THE BLAME GAME”

Clint Eastwood loves a hero, (and an occasional heroine) so it makes perfect sense that HE would develop the story of Sully Sullenberger, the courageous airline pilot who saved 155 people with his perfect crash landing on the Hudson River. In 2009, Captain Sullenberger’s flight was interrupted by a flock of geese caught in the Continue reading “TOM HANKS IS PERFECTLY CAST AS CAPTAIN SULLY SULLENBERGER”
Of course. The story of Captain Sullenberger – the nonchalant pilot who miraculously and safely landed a disabled jet on the Hudson River in 2009 and saved all the passengers – is being filmed by Clint Eastwood.
