Jennifer Aniston makes a good case for proving that acting talent can be absorbed by osmosis. From her father John Aniston's stardom on Days of Our Lives to her godfather Telly Savalas, the actress was surrounded by plenty of inspiration from an early age. As Aniston attended the Rudolph Steiner School as a child, she was interested in many forms of art and proved to be a talented painter, eventually having one of her pieces displayed at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. Acting also appealed to her, and... [more]

As a teenager and young adult, she gave expression to the scope of her talent and versatility with a series of engaging film and television... [more]

As a remarkably intelligent and capable actor, and a director of surprising skill and intuition, Clooney has almost completely exempted himself from criticism.

[more]In his first one-on-one interviews since his car accident on Thanksgiving weekend, Tiger Woods speaks about everything from his infidelities, his return to golf and his relationship with wife Elin.
Two interviews with the pro golfer aired Sunday night, March 21 -- one being with Kelly Tilghman on The Golf Channel and the other being conducted by golf reporter Tom Rinaldi on ESPN. "I hurt a lot of people, not just my wife," he told Rinaldi. During his Golf Channel interview, Woods referred to his actions as disgusting, saying, “Looking back now with a more clear head I get it. I understand why people would say those things because, you know what, it was disgusting behavior. It’s hard to believe that was me, looking back on it now.”
When asked by Tilghman about what really went down the night of his car accident on Nov. 28, Woods responded, "It’s all in the police report. There’s a lot of stuff between Elin and I that will remain private."
Before he makes his way back onto the green, Tiger Woods reportedly sat down for two separate interviews that are said to be airing Sunday night.
According to the Associated Press, The Golf Channel and ESPN will air two separate interviews with the pro golfer at the same time. The Golf Channel will broadcast Woods' interview with Kelly Tilghman, who worked closely with Woods at some of his clinics. Meanwhile, golf reporter Tom Rinaldi spoke with Woods for ESPN's interview segment.
The pro golfer will be competing in the Masters Tournament this year, according to his Web site. The Masters takes place in Augusta, Georgia from April 5 through April 11. This will be the first time Woods will compete in a golf tournament since his fender bender over Thanksgiving weekend that led to him going into hiding for several months and a number of women coming forward claiming to have slept with the golf pro.
Just in to the ET news desk: A rep for the Orange County Sheriff's Department tells us police were dispatched to Sandra Bullock and Jesse James' neighborhood on Saturday.

The Anna Nicole Smith estate has been denied the $300 million-plus windfall that she said was promised to her by her late oil-tycoon husband.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco made the ruling Friday, according to the Associated Press, the latest development in the 15-year legal battle over J. Howard Marshall's $1.6 billion estate.
The late blonde beauty, who died in 2007, was involed in a legal battle over the will of her billionaire oil tycoon husband when she died. Marshall passed away at age 90 in 1995, a year after Anna Nicole married him. His son E. Pierce Marshall, with whom Anna Nicole was battling in court, died in 2006.

The law firm Browne Woods George LLP ("BWG"), which represents Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe, is asking for thousands of dollars in compensation from the late singer's estate.
The court papers claim that the firm performed work on behalf of the estate from June of 2009 -- January of 2010 and that Jackson's estate agreed to pay for the services, totaling $76,412,50.
