I never bring a role home with me. The moment they say, 'It's a wrap,' it's gone completely. I'm a totally ruthless professional and life is my family, not my work.I've lost my specs in the most amazing ways. In a jungle in India a monkey landed bang on my head and stole a pair right off my nose, scratching my bloody forehead. I'm out of the restaurant business now, but the secret, apart from your choice of chef, is having great bread and coffee. The bread's the first thing they taste and the coffee the last.When I became too old to get the girl, I was freed up to play characters instead of being a movie star. A producer sent me a script and I thought the part was too small. He said, 'You weren't supposed to read the lover, read the father's part, which is enormous.' I went and looked in the bathroom mirror and there he was - the father. I was voted London's Favourite Londoner last year. But for me the greatest will always be Charlie Chaplin.You marry the person you love and religion i

Anti-capitalist agendas, comedy moustaches and crazy US soldiers - but it was the serious dramas that impressed most at this year's festivalGeorge Clooney is Venice's poster boy. At one of the bars, there's even a sandwich named after him, the George Crudey (prosciutto crudo and cheese). After summering in his castle on Lake Como, the smooth star chugs in to grace the film festival every year, giving it a Nespresso shot of Hollywood glamour and a dose of good grace as he smiles through the indignities of the press conferences.During last week's packed assembly, an Italian man got the mic, stood up and pulled his trousers down to reveal underpants on which had been written 'George, pick me' across the crotch. 'I wanted him to come out as gay,' explained the fan, to police, later.George loves helping Venice get publicity but I doubt he'd ever choose to reveal such news here on the Lido. Instead, usually accompanied by a beautiful woman (this time, Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis,

Colin Firth Takes Best Actor, Todd Solandz Wins Screenplay Award for 'Life During Wartime'

You know the kind of comedian who takes himself so seriously he won't even smile out of character? The five performers at our annual Emmy Roundtable were--nothing like that. We asked them to wear pajamas for a curl-up-by-the-TV photo, and Jim Parsons () even slipped on a pair of red fluffy slippers. 'I thought of wearing a really filthy shirt,' said Jon Cryer (), but Toni Collette () went him one better-she posed with a blow-up doll. 'I love saying, 'Toni! Hey, Toni!' It feels good,' ' said Amy Poehler (), like some demented Valentino. They even found a way to have fun with plain old water. When one actor would say something especially funny during our conversation, Sarah Silverman () would slide over a bottle of Arrowhead like a liquid trophy-or, in the case of Parsons's dreary soliloquy about cell phones (don't ask), she took his away. So remember, future Emmy winners: if you deliver a subhumorous acceptance speech, Silverman might well come after your little gold statue, too.

On Friday night's "20/20," Michael Jackson's older sister La Toya Jackson explained why she suspected that "something terrible would happen" to Michael. Plus, she opened up about how the late King of Pop's children are coping with the loss of their father. During her interview with Barbara Walters, La Toya claimed that Michael "constantly" told her he feared for his life. "I knew Michael was surrounded by people that positioned themselves in his life, positioned themselves to control and take advantage of him. And that's what bothered me more than anything else because I knew something terrible would happen at the end." She continued, "Not to mention the fact that Michael constantly told me, 'La Toya ... if I die ... they're going to murder me, they're going to kill me.'"
