Ford gave the exhibiting artist a kiss on the cheek and ordered two glasses of 2002 Kelly Magee Meritage cabernet. ``I wish there weren't so many people here tonight because I really love the artist and have enjoyed watching his work evolve over the years,'' Ford said. ``I've seen him gain confidence, create a point of view and move from the learning part of photography to the running-free part. ``I've got to come back tomorrow to look at this all by myself,'' Ford mused as he headed outdoors to sample hors d'oeuvres prepared by his son Ben, the owner of Ford's Filling Station in Culver City Culver City, city (1990 pop. 38,793), Los Angeles co., S Calif., a residential suburb of Los Angeles; inc. 1917.

Hist.: NCE, 2990] See : Wine , took the kudos in stride Adv. 1. in stride - without losing equilibrium; "she took all his criticism in stride" in good spirits . ``I wish I could say that all of this talent is due to my older brother's influence,'' said Terence Ford, who was crashing at Harrison's place in Brentwood. ``But this is personal work, and my slow-speed shots capture the colorful energy, vitality and tensions in the fast lane.'' And when will he display his intimate shots of Harrison? ``I'd never show a picture of my brother to the public.'' ALL THAT GLITTERS All That Glitters (shortened from "All that glitters is not gold", a famous misquotation from The Merchant of Venice, the original line being ) is the name of a number of different works:
Early life Hounsou (pronounced / and Jennifer Connelly answered questions from local and national reporters about issues raised in the fictional film set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in Sierra Leone Sierra Leone (sēĕr`ə lēō`nē, lēōn`; sēr`ə lēōn), officially Republic of Sierra Leone, republic (2005 est. pop. 6,018,000), 27,699 sq mi (71,740 sq km), W Africa. in the 1990s. ``Just a decade ago, illicitly mined African diamonds were frequently used to finance wars and terrorism,'' explained Benin-born Hounsou, who spent five months on the continent shooting the film. ``Everyone must be aware of this dirty business that, to a lesser extent, continues today.'' Connelly, who plays a journalist in the film that stars Leonard DiCaprio as a South African mercenary, is being especially careful about the gems she'll wear at the Wednesday premiere at Graumans Chinese Theatre Chinese theatre has a long and complex history. Today it is often called Chinese opera although this normally refers specifically to the popular form known as Beijing Opera; there have been many other forms of theatre in China. . ``Making `Blood Diamond' raised my awareness, and I only wear diamonds that are certified as being `conflict free,' '' she said. ``Everyone buying a diamond today should be sure that it originated from a reputable source.'' Will other actresses follow her example? Bonnie Abaunza, the Los Angeles-based director of Amnesty International's celebrity outreach program, hopes so. ``Celebrities should pressure retailers to authenticate that their diamonds are `conflict free,' '' Abaunza said before the screening. ``And reporters should ask every star on the red carpet if he or she is wearing a blood diamond.'' Bet this will be the first question out of Joan Rivers' mouth throughout the awards season. GORE ON THE GO: Al Gore Noun 1. Al Gore - Vice President of the United States under Bill Clinton (born in 1948) Albert Gore Jr., Gore looked like he might be campaigning for more than an Oscar nomination when he hit GQ Magazine's Men of the Year dinner on Wednesday night. He gave bear hugs to Magic Johnson “Earvin Johnson” redirects here. For the Milwaukee Bucks center, see Ervin Johnson. Earvin Effay Johnson, Jr. (born August 14, 1959 in Lansing, Michigan), nicknamed Magic and Spike Lee, who were in the midst Adv. 1. in the midst - the middle or central part or point; "in the midst of the forest"; "could he walk out in the midst of his piece?" midmost of a very analytical discussion about basketball, before he worked the cocktail party at the Sunset Tower Hotel. And he had a kind word for everyone. ``Leo's as passionate and knowledgeable about the environment as I am,'' Gore told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann as they discussed ``An Inconvenient Truth'' and the situation in Iraq with Leonardo DiCaprio. ``You should have him on your show.'' ``I loved `The Last King of Scotland,' '' he told Forest Whitaker, as he ate a piece of prosciutto pro·sciut·to n. pl. pro·sciut·ti or pro·sciut·tos An aged, dry-cured, spiced Italian ham that is usually sliced thin and served without cooking. wrapped around a black fig and accidentally toppled a stack of napkins. ``You deserve an award.'' He was also very humble. ``Thank you for having me in your current issue because I don't belong in this company,'' Gore told GQ editors. ``And the interview was right on!'' That would be the one where Gore discloses that he hasn't ruled out a run for the presidency in 2008. But not all of the evening's honorees -- including Ben Affleck, Jay-Z, Will Ferrell, Johnny Knoxville, B.J. Novak, David Wright and Lindsay Lohan -- put Gore at the top of all their lists. ``It's great to see Al Gore, but Lindsay Lohan's the sexiest person here,'' Ferrell declared. Then Gore sat down with Affleck, Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Connelly for dinner and had to make a serious choice. Whether to have pumpkin cheesecake, warm chocolate cake or creme brule for dessert.
