Seven days in entertainment

With the Critics’ Choice Awards soldiering on, Katherine Heigl putting on 27 Dresses, and the ladies of The L Word toasting their steamy new season on Showtime, Hollywood resolved to start the year off right. Now, if the town could just resolve to end that darned writers’ strike…

Ocean’s Two
At the 13th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards in L.A., Don Cheadle took home the Joel Siegel award, which goes to an actor whose work on and off screen contributes to the good of humanity. In the process, he got a little love from Casey Affleck. On receiving a Critics’ Choice honor from his pal George Clooney, Cheadle said, ”I had to pay George $1,500 to give me the award. Matt was double that price, and I couldn’t afford Brad.”
