"I know that you cannot live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living." — Harvey Milk
The story of gay rights activist and politician Harvey Milk had a huge impact on me a few years ago when I first watched the Oscar-winning documentary about him,
The Times of Harvey Milk. His is truly a stranger-than-fiction tale and is so full of inspiration, absurdity, and absolute heartache that it's somewhat surprising it has taken this long to create a feature-length dramatization of his life and death.

Milk arrived in NYC last night with all its handsome stars out for the red carpet. Details helped host the event and
recent cover boy Chace Crawford got dressed up and his usually shaggy hair was perfectly coiffed to attend the screening. Downtown from his
grad school in the Upper West Side, Columbia, James Franco let both his hair and facial hair look a little more unruly, but he can certainly pull it off.

The boys of
Milk, James Franco, Emile Hirsch, Sean Penn, and Josh Brolin, stepped out to premiere their movie in LA last night. They first walked the red carpet in
SF before the election, but
Prop. 8 is still a hot topic.

The
Milk premiere brought out Hollywood actors, political figures and the movie's real life inspirations in SF last night. Sean Penn walked the red carpet with Robin by his side but skipped chatting with reporters to greet fans. TR Knight and his boyfriend came to support the film along with the stars of the movie including Josh Brolin, Diego Luna, Alison Pill and happy to return to his home James Franco.

It was an exciting evening in Hollywood when Angelina Jolie showed up to hand Clint Eastwood the Director of the Year award at the Hollywood Film Festival Awards last night. Actors like Ryan Gosling, James Franco, Dustin Hoffman, Natalie Portman and so many more dressed up to honor their peers at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The audience was surprised when Angelina strutted out fresh from
her recent trip to Afghanistan to speak about Clint.

Some of the stars of W. turned out on the red carpet for the
London Film Festival premiere of Oliver Stone's George W. Bush biopic last night.

No matter your political persuasion, most can agree that the presidency of George W. Bush is concluding on a low and solemn note, the full consequences of his years in office still unknown. There is no doubt he is one of the most controversial figures of a generation, and his life will provide vast and fertile ground for dramatists someday.

One of the movies I'm most looking forward to this Fall is
Milk, which filmed in my fair city of San Francisco last Winter. Directed by Gus Van Sant, the movie follows the true story of Harvey Milk, the nation's first gay official of any major American city, who was assassinated shortly after his election to office. The story has already been covered by a
moving documentary, and in Milk, Sean Penn steps into the title role.

GQ celebrated its men of the year at the Royal Opera House in London last night ranging from Mark Ronson to Orlando Bloom, both of whom came with their beautiful dates. Mark Ronson had his younger lady model Daisy Lowe while Orlando and Miranda continued to be one of our
favorite hot couples. Elizabeth Hurley may have been of the wrong gender to win an award, but as usual she raised the sexy level in her tight little dress.
