Josh Brolin and Jessica Biel gabbed at the after party for the 4th Annual Hollyshorts Film Festival presented by h magazine at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. This event is one of the first Brolin has ventured out to after his arrest while wrapping the shoot in Louisiana for the Oliver Stone Bush biopic, W . Biel has also been scarce as of late, recovering from a platinum blond phase and a breakup with Justin Timberlake. Regardless it’s nice to see two actors with some of the best genes in Hollywood out.

Don’t forget! Father’s Day hits on June 15th this year. If dad lives out of state it’s probably too late to send him a card or gift, but maybe a phone call is in order? Maybe dad taught you how to throw a curve ball, or how to check your oil. Maybe he made you memorize all of the US Presidents and Vice Presidents . Who is your dad? Do you have a Father’s Day ritual?

This year, Angelina Jolie may celebrate Father’s Day with her father, Jon Voight, having recently ended a period of estrangement. Brad Pitt is a father times three, and by this time next year he may be a father to five. Mick Jagger has a huge stable of kids around the globe. It’s always entertaining to witness the legacy famous dads leave, whether it’s that strong chin, golden voice or sense of humor. Check out some of our favorite famous dads with their kids.

File this under ‘Films That Hopefully Never Get Out Of Pre-Production.’

The net was abuzz over the weekend with reports that Josh Brolin is close to signing on to an Oliver Stone-directed biopic of…(drumroll please)…George W. Bush. Hopefully WMD will make an appearance…in drag!

The Undeniable Legitimacy of the NBR

It’s here! Awards season! OMG!

The National Board of Review, a nearly 100-year-old organization of self-styled ‘film critics’ who have little to no credentials, has announced its 2007 winners. Traditionally, the NBR announcement is the kick-off to a long 3 months of celebrity pandering and atrocious speeches. The brilliant, bleak, and overlong No Country for Old Men picked up the Best Picture prize, and elsewhere the NBR spread the love around as usual. Gotta get as many celebs as possible to that awards dinner in January, which probably explains George Clooney’s surprising win for Michael Clayton. Here are the major awards:

Best Picture: No Country for Old Men
Best Foreign Film: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Best Actor: George Clooney, Michael Clayton
Best Actress: Julie Christie, Away from Her
Best Supporting Actor: Casey Affleck, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Best Supporting Actress: Amy Ryan, Gone Baby Gone
Best Director: Tim Burton, Sweeney Todd
Best Directorial Debut: Ben Affleck, Gone Baby Gone
Best Animated Feature: Ratatouille
Best Adapted Screenplay: Joel and Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men
Best Original Screenplay: (tie) Diablo Cody, Juno and Nancy Oliver, Lars and the Real Girl

Because clearly everyone wants to know the NBR’s top ten list (beyond their Best Pic choice), they provide it every year, in alphabetical order:

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Atonement
The Bourne Ultimatum
The Bucket List
Into the Wild
Juno
The Kite Runner
Lars and the Real Girl
Michael Clayton
Sweeney Todd

The Bucket List, really? Lars and the Real Girl? Where the hell is There Will Be Blood? I’m Not There? Seriously, The Bourne Ultimatum? Video box critics unite!
