Jamie Foxx is too old for love

29 October 2009 12:31 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Jamie Foxx claims he is too old for love.

The 'Law Abiding Citizen' star insists he has no problems meeting potential girlfriends, but they soon lose interest in him when they realise his advancing years.

He is quoted by Britain's Daily Express newspaper as saying:  "What's weird is when you meet a girl who is 23 and you are talking to her, even her voice is high-pitched, she's young.

"You ask her how old she is, she says, '23, how old are you?' and when I tell her I'm 41 it's like I've just told her I have cancer. It's 'Oh my God, how long have you had that?'"

While the 'Soloist' actor is struggling to relate to younger women, he can console himself by knowing he is still a hit with older ladies.

After pictures of Jamie naked appeared on the internet earlier this year, 58-year-old actress »

Kirstie Alley Has a Little Something to Say About Paul Haggis

27 October 2009 12:20 PM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

One of the most interesting things about the fallout from Paul Haggis's blistering Scientology kiss-off is how quiet it's been. Haggis has issued no further statement, and the church hasn't gone to great lengths to rebut him. Even Kirstie Alley, who occasionally addresses Scientology in her frequent Twitter posts, appeared to go into radio silence for a little while. Never fear, though: Alley is back up and ready to take this issue on! Well, mostly. »

The 'Cheers' gang is having a moment

Ted Danson's dueling gigs on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm and Bored to Death have been delightful, and Shelley Long's kooky cameo on Wednesday's Modern Family triggered a still-rolling avalanche of Cheers nostalgia in our offices. But that's not the half of it. Woody Harrelson has a hit movie (Zombieland) and a serious role in a potential Oscar contender (The Messenger); Kelsey Grammer has another new sitcom (Hank); George Wendt has written a barstool professional's guide to beer; Rhea Perlman was hilarious on a recent episode of HBO's Hung; and Kirstie Alley is just a few pounds (lost or »
