Controversy: "W." movie features President Bush in grassy knoll scene
Oliver Stone's film portrait of President George W. Bush is stirring up a major controversy as it features a scene with President Bush with actor Josh Brolin in the title role riding in a limousine in Dallas near the famous grassy knoll. The movie is part drama, part satire, yet the director of "JFK" and "Nixon" argues it is not a hatchet job on Bush.
But "W." also features a scene where Brolin's character orders the burglary and bugging of the Democratic Party's headquarters. Even stranger is the middle part of the film where Bush leaves the U.S. and becomes the King of Macedonia and leads his legions against the giant Persian Empire.
Stone says audiences will not find the partisan portrait his critics might expect from the director of Vietnam war film "Platoon" and Cuban documentary "Looking for Fidel." "It was not our intention to bring malice or judgment on George W. Bush and his administration."
Although Stone refused to talk about the dream sequence where Bush and First Lady Laura travel across Route 666 conducting psychadelic mass-slaughters not for money, not for revenge, just for kicks.

The 5 New Angelina Jolie Tattoos
Angelina Jolie showed off her new tattoos over the weekend at the premiere of her new movie "Changeling." The tattoos appear on her left arm and Dateline Hollywood was able to use digital technology to cleary see her 5 new tattoos. From our analysis, it appears to be a To Do List on her arm and it's a suprising list. We're not sure why she would share this personal information with the world. We're still trying to figure that out. In the meantime, here are her five new tattoos after being digitally enhanced.
1. "Adopt a third world highway"
You can cross that one off the list. Our sources say the paperwork has already been filed for Jolie to adopt a one-lane highway in the African nation of Uganda. It's that kind of generosity that makes Jolie such a beloved figure.
2. "Screw Jennifer Aniston's next boyfriend"
While Angelina is happily married with a continuously growing family, she shows no mercy for Jennifer Aniston. Part of her To Do List is to have sex with the next person Aniston is involved with. Rumors say she has gotten to all of Aniston's boyfriends who all end up leaving Aniston. The latest casualty was singer John Mayer.
3. "Restraining order against Vince Vaughn"
Sometimes they don't go away. Jolie is learning this lesson the hard way.
4. "TiVo C-SPAN and C-SPAN II"
Angelina wants to become more political. What better way than to watch the House and Senate. We understand she has purchased 238 TiVos to record one week's worth of C-SPAN and C-SPAN II coverage.
5. "Adopt Gary Coleman"
Gary Coleman has been in legal trouble over the years. This move by Angelina Jolie will keep the little guy out of trouble. We've just learned that Coleman is interested in being adopted and has requested that he be exclusively breast-fed.

Final presidential debate to feature cooking segment
The second presidential debate featured a town hall format in which the candidates felt quite comfortable talking to voters. Now there's a report that the final debate will feature a 20 minute cooking segment. It's an unprecedented event during a presidential debate that has surprised a lot of political pundits. But both the McCain and Obama campaigns are on board.
"You've got to understand that both candidates are trying to connect with those undecided voters," says Prof. Joseph Claskew of Aruna College of Political Studies. "Americans watch a lot of television. They love talk shows, and they especially love it when the shows have those cooking segments. It actually makes a lot of sense to have the candidates in a cooking segment. It will make them seem more human. Plus, Americans will get to see if either candidate can stand the heat in the kitchen."
The Providence Record reports that John McCain has been consulting with Martha Stewart while Barack Obama has been prepping with Rachel Ray. There's an unconfirmed report that McCain's camp is trying to negotiate an animal segment with Jack Hannah. There are a lot of undecided animal lovers who would like to see how the candidates handle animals.

Report: Jamie Lynn Spears impregnated by Bristol Palin’s boyfriend
There's a report this morning that 17 year old Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant again and the inside word is that 18 year old Levi Johnston, the boyfriend of 17 year old Bristol Palin, is the plumpher. Jamie Lynn Spears' mom, Lynne, is said to be furious that the news of her daughter's second pregnancy has leaked.
In another stunning twist, Dateline Hollywood just learned that 17 year old Oscar nominee Keisha Castle-Hughes from the movie "Whale Rider" is also pregnant again and she claims Levi Johnston is the plumpher of her unborn bouncing baby. It doesn't stop there. Several entertainment blogs are now reporting that Ellen Page who starred in the film "Juno" is also pregnant and that Levi is the plumpher.
**UPDATE**
Levi Johnston is now reportedly dating Cole Mitchell Sprouse and Dylan Thomas Sprouse, the teenaged stars of the Disney Channel series "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody."

Sarah Palin joining SNL as Tina Fey Impersonator
Sarah Palin is getting ready to turn the tables on Tina Fey.
Dateline Hollywood has learned that the Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate will appear on "Saturday Night Live" next week in a skit where she will impersonate "30 Rock" star and former "SNL" head writer Fey.
"We wanted to do something making fun of Tina's American Express ads and we were trying to figure out who could do a good impression of her," said a source at the show. "Then we realized, 'Hey, that Sarah Palin lady looks exactly like her.' And she was hilarious in her interview with Katie Couric, so we know she's got great comedy chops."
Palin is said to be considering joining the "SNL" cast full-time if her White House bid fails in November. "Sarah feels she's just as qualified to be a comedic actress as she is to be vice-president, so it's a very exciting opportunity," said a Palin advisor.
