the “Girls Gone Wild” honcho with a comely young woman at LAX last night, complaining about jail cuisine and promising to never go back to Bay County, Fla., where he was first jailed almost a year ago. He’s a free man now, having struck a plea deal with the State’s Attorney there to clean up his legal mess there once and for all.

Incidentally, Joe called TMZ as he sat down for his first after-court meal, and guess who was sitting at the next table at a Panama City BBQ joint — the State’s Attorney, Steve Meadows!

With a plot so knotty and twisted that pretzel makers would worship it, Vantage Point promises much more than it can ever rationally deliver. Taking an explosive 20-minute action sequence involving threats to world leaders, secret cabals, and unexpected alliances, British TV helmer Travis hopes to fashion a clean, lean JFK riff, complete with conflicting stories and anti-American sentiments. The present policies of the Bush Administration are slammed again and again here as reporters and administrative officials lament/extol the “shoot first, diplomacy a distant second” beliefs that, apparently, have led to this reactionary retaliation. There are moments which are very heavy-handed in their indirect criticism, as when a hawkish Cabinet member (Bruce McGill) tries to muscle the Commander in Chief into bombing Morocco.

Here it is! Indian Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull

The Get Smart Movie is about to be released! I can’t wait to see this movie! “Get Smart,” Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS. When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the Chief (Alan Arkin) has no choice but to promote his ever-eager analyst Maxwell Smart, who has always dreamt of working in the field alongside stalwart superstar Agent 23 (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson). Smart is partnered instead with the only other agent whose identity has not been compromised: the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). As Smart and 99 get closer to unraveling KAOS’ master plan—and each other—they discover that key KAOS operative Siegfried (Terence Stamp) and his sidekick Shtarker (Kenneth Davitian) are scheming to cash in with their network of terror. Given little field experience and even less time, Smart—armed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm—must defeat KAOS if he is to save the day.
