Just another proud parent

The Tampa Tribune

Published: November 15, 2009

Actor Denzel Washington was playing proud father as he cheered on his son Malcolm's first game with the University of Pennsylvania basketball team.

Washington sat three rows behind Penn's bench Friday night during the Quakers' season opener at Penn State. The Hollywood star went virtually unnoticed in the Jordan Center crowd. He declined to answer a reporter's question before the game, waving his arms and nodding in the direction of the Penn bench. The 5-foot-9 Malcolm Washington is a walk-on guard at Penn and did not play in Penn's 70-55 loss.

Washington is in central Pennsylvania filming the movie "Unstoppable."

Celebrating 'Gone With the Wind'
Warner Home Video staged a flash mob with a Southern Twist on Friday. Time was suspended as 70 couples in period costumes celebrated the 70th Anniversary of "Gone With the Wind" by dancing "The World's Largest Virginia Reel" in the historic town square in Marietta, Ga.
Four original cast members attended: Ann Rutherford ("Carreen O'Hara"), Mickey Kuhn ("Beau Wilkes" at age 7), Patrick Curtis ("Baby Beau Wilkes") and Greg Geise (infant "Bonnie Blue Butler" and infant "Beau Wilkes").

The event was topped off with the unveiling of a giant anniversary cake that was a replica of Tara.

Gabor's lawyer blames debts on Madoff

Zsa Zsa Gabor's lawyer blames convicted swindler Bernard Madoff for a hefty tax bill owed by his client.

According to documents obtained by The Associated Press on Friday, the Internal Revenue Service filed a lien of more than $118,000 for the years 2001 and 2002 against the 92-year-old actress on Oct. 5.

Gabor lawyer Chris Fields estimates that Gabor lost about $7 million in Madoff's Ponzi scheme and the tax bill is part of the fallout. Fields says Gabor and husband Frederic von Anhalt are pulling together their resources and working out a payment plan with the IRS.
