HOLLYWOOD, May 31, 2000 -- Guess there's something to be said for that sun-burnt, leathery look. Clint Eastwood, onetime municipal politician, Oscar-winning director/producer and all-around movie tough guy, turns an inconspicuous 70 this very day, looking just as he did in his 60s and 50s.
Eastwood, whose iconic credits include 1971's "Dirty Harry," has faltered rarely at the box office since making it big with 1964's "A Fist Full of Dollars." Next up: Eastwood's upcoming space actioner, "Space Cowboys," due out Aug. 4, which teams the veteran actor with Donald Sutherland and Tommy Lee Jones as retired pilots in charge of saving the world.
But are Eastwood's days as a leading man numbered? After all, not even John Wayne made it as a 70-year-old movie star. (His last feature, 1976's "The Shootist," was released when he was 69.) Well, we brainstormed a list of other guys (

DreamWorks Pictures has agreed to sell half of its stake in The Road to Perdition to Twentieth Century Fox. The film is understood to have evolved for two primary reasons: the budget brought by the talent was too high and the opportunity to release the DreamWorks principal Steven Spielberg from a film commitment to Fox, Reuters reports. The DreamWorks-originated gangster picture will be hemmed by Sam Mendes of American Beauty and star Tom Hanks, Paul Newman and Jude Law. The film is tentatively set for a spring 2002 release.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 15, 2001 -- Perhaps you can call it Bond luck.
Actor Roger Moore walked away unscathed after a car accident in southwestern Sweden on Saturday, Reuters reports.
The 73-year-old ex-007 actor and his Swedish partner Christina Tholstrup were en route from a Swedish airport to a television studio when another car rammed into theirs. The two were able to avoid serious injury due to protective airbags.
BRIDGING THE WORLD: Charity ain't just about salad dressing for Paul Newman. The way cool actor has donated $10,000 to build a bridge as part of a 2.2 mile walking trail along the revitalized Still River in Danbury, Conn., The Associated Press reports.
"We are ecstatic that Paul Newman has chosen to support this environmental initiative," Mayor Gene Enriquez said Friday.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 7, 2000 -- Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston can relax; they are now surpassed in the couples rumor mill by the betrothed Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. So we're here to quash some buzzings and entertain you with others.
The latest rumor is that Zeta-Jones wants to take Douglas' name after they wed, according to the New York Daily News. Does this make her Catherine Douglas or Catherine Zeta-Douglas? We're not sure. But while we find out, we can tell you that she's not converting to Judaism, according to Douglas.
"I have had no formal religious training myself, and there has never been any debate with Catherine about it. Religion has not entered into the equation. Our child will be raised the same way I was," Douglas, 55, told London's Mirror.
He also admits that he misplaced her engagement ring before he proposed New Year's Eve.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 10, 2000 -- Rocker Melissa Etheridge has finally revealed the identity of the man who fathered her two children -- and it's not Brad Pitt.
Etheridge has long talked about her crush on good friend Pitt, whom she once said was good-looking enough to make any woman switch teams. (Etheridge outed herself in 1992.) Anyway, the Pitt connection fueled rumors that the actor's DNA was involved when Etheridge's partner, Julie Cypher (ex-wife of Lou Diamond Phillips) became pregnant.
But alas, Pitt has not passed along his good-looking genes to Etheridge-Cypher. Surprisingly, Etheridge reveals to this month's Rolling Stone that the biological father is sorta the anti-Brad Pitt -- David Crosby, the balding, pudgy folkie best known for his hard-livin' days with 1960s stalwarts Crosby, Stills & Nash.
"He's musical, which means a lot to me," Etheridge

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 11, 2000 -- "Hannibal" can be taken off the endangered film project list, at least for the time being.
Universal has confirmed its intentions to stick by the "Silence of the Lambs" sequel, laying to rest reports on Entertainment Weekly Online last week that the studio was considering canning the project after Jodie Foster bailed out to instead direct Claire Danes in "Flora Plum."
"As far as we know, [this project] is alive," a Universal spokeswoman says. "[Star Anthony] Hopkins and [director Ridley] Scott are both very committed. We like what we've got, and the revised script is really, really good."
What's more, the project apparently will forge ahead with or without Foster.
"We've decided that we're not going to reapproach Jodie as the media has been reporting. We are trying to come up with the right lead to replace Jodie an
