Minnie Driver, Josh Brolin Split Actor Josh Brolin and actress Minnie Driver have canceled their wedding plans. Brolin, 33, and Driver, 30, announced their engagement in April but did not set a wedding date. The split was "mutual and amicable," Driver's publicist, Ame Van Iden, said Wednesday, without disclosing details of the breakup. The London-born Driver, who's had romances with "Good Will Hunting" co-star Matt Damon and "Grosse Point Blank" co-star John Cusack, met Brolin on the set of 1998's "Slow Burn." Brolin previously was married to actress Deborah Adair. The son of actor James Brolin, he also has appeared in "The Goonies," "Flirting With Disaster" and "Hollow Man." Driver earned an Oscar nomination for her role in "Good Will Hunting" and also starred in "Return to Me" and "Beautiful." Morissette Plays Show for Students Alanis Morissette stopped by this small town to play a concert for high school students, the prize for a 15-year-old student who designed a music video for the singer. Morissette, whose 1995 "Jagged Little Pill" is the top-selling debut album in history, did a special concert at the Plainfield Town Hall in honor of Marshfield resident Elyse Bellamy, 15. Elyse's day with the rock star began when Morissette walked into her school Thursday morning. She then learned that she had won the nationwide contest. Morissette had lunch with Elyse and her parents at their hilltop home, then spent some time chatting with her in the girl's bedroom. Morissette sang six songs, some old and some new, telling the crowd "Your town has a really good vibe going." She even helped out in Elyse's science class. "Everyone at school was so pumped up," said Morgan Wilber, who helped Elyse put her video together and also got to spend some extra time with Morissette. "She put on the big goggles that you wear and helped us." Doherty Gets Work-Release Sentence Shannen Doherty will serve five days in a work-release program as part of her sentencing for a drunken driving arrest in December. A Ventura County judge on Tuesday imposed the minimum sentence for the 30-year-old actress after she gave lectures to teens about the dangers of driving under the influence. She could have faced two days in jail. Deputy District Attorney Ian Morse said Doherty will probably serve her five days of work release picking up freeway trash. Doherty, who starred in television's "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Charmed," was arrested Dec. 28 for driving under the influence. Tests revealed Doherty had a blood-alcohol level of 0.13 percent, well above the state's legal limit of 0.08 percent. She pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge in April.
Reba McEntire's Show Ready to Air Reba McEntire finally hits your TV screen tonight, as her new series "Reba" premieres on the WB Network. McEntire plays a mother whose unfaithful husband has fathered a child by another woman, and that baby is due around the same time as their teenage daughter's out-of-wedlock child. McEntire says she loved the show's premise from the first time she saw the script, because the character reminded her of her own mother. "This is a situation that a lot of families are dealing with all over the United States, all over the world. And this woman takes the bull by the horns and says, 'Alright this is a disaster, but we're going to handle this situation, we're going to stay together and we're going to come through it and we're going to hold our head high.' That's a lot like my mama. Any kind of situation that came up in our family, she knew that we were falling apart but she stood strong and said 'we're going to go ahead and we're going to put a smile on your face and let's go forward,'" McEntire said. The country singer turned actress says she will not turn her back on her musical roots. "To integrate both is what I'm really looking forward to doing," McEntire said. "I will never go away from my singing because I love that so much. That's my passion." Wynonna Judd to Play at Army Base Wynonna Judd plans to rally the troops at Fort Campbell, Ky., on Friday with two shows at the Army base. The shows are a response to the terrorist attacks on the United States, Rondal Richardson of Judd's management company, Wynonna Inc., said Wednesday. "I am a Kentucky girl, and it made perfect sense to come home to be with these families," the singer said in a statement. "Since Sept. 11, I have been searching for a way to actually do something to make a difference during this trying time for our nation. I am so inspired by the renewed sense of patriotism of our country, and I want to participate with and remind the soldiers at Fort Campbell that we are unified behind them." Judd was born in Ashland, Ky. She came to fame in partnership with her mother, Naomi Judd, with hits including "Why Not Me" and "Mama He's Crazy." On her own, she has scored hits such as "No One Else on Earth." |
