5 honored at Kennedy Center.
Last night's Kennedy Center Honors recognized the accomplishments of 5 performing legends. Recipients of the awards include singers Diana Ross and Brian Wilson, pianist Leon Fleisher, actor Steve Martin and film director Martin Scorsese. They were all chosen for their contribution to the performing arts. The five spent time at the White House and then went on to the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in DC for an honorary gala. President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush attended the ceremony as well. The event will air on December 26 on CBS.
Former "American Idol" contestant Jessica Sierra is in trouble with the law again. Sierra was reportedly arrested at a Florida bar over the weekend for disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest. This her second arrest in the past year...last April she was charged for cocaine possession and felony battery. Following that incident Sierra spent some time in rehab.
Disney's new release is continuing to enchant U.S. moviegoers. "Enchanted" starring Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey grabbed the number one spot at box offices for the second weekend in a row. The new holiday film "This Christmas" took second. And "Beowulf" with Anthony Hopkins and Angelina Jolie came in third.
Christian Bale is signing on for the next "Terminator" installment. He'll reportedly star in the fourth film in the series "Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins." Filmmakers are apparently keeping the plot details quiet for now but the movies focus on the battle against the machines. Bale is currently working on the sequel to "Batman Begins."
Jerry Seinfeld's "Bee Movie" buzzed into Paris over the weekend. Actress Renee Zellweger joined the comedian on the red carpet for the French premiere of the animated film. She and Seinfeld both lend their voices to movie. A special guest made it to the event as well...one of the bee characters was there with the celebrities.
