HIGH HOPES "If Barack Obama doesn't win November's presidential election in the United States, 'you can kiss the Democratic Party goodbye', the actor and director Robert Redford told an audience in Dublin last night."

Speaking of handsome, can we please give pause to Tina Turner for trying to teach Hollywood how to grow old? While everyone from Robert Redford to Michael Douglas to this damaged eyesore are kicking and screaming their way into their golden years like myopic ingrates, Tina Turner is only getting surgery if she gets beaten up and wearing slimming dark pantsuits to to friends' fashion shows in Italy. She's winning a game she's not even playing.

• Mischa Barton's talking shit on The OC. So much anger in that girl. She needs to have a heart-to-heart with Sandy Cohen. He'd be so disappointed, Mischa, but he would listen to you, and appreciate your unique voice. Damn, I respect that fictional character. [DListed]

• Robert Redford needs to get off the operating table. Listen, dudes, it's handsomer to not worry about being handsome. [CityRag]

• Paris is buckling down and seriously acting. You heard it here first: Paris Hilton, Best Actress nominee for The Hottie and the Nottie, Oscar Awards '08. If I'm wrong I owe you 100 unicorns. [TMZ]

• Lohan, proactive or Proactiv? [PopSugar]

• Rosie's leaving The View to work for Trump (half of that might be true). [TVWeek]

• Sharon Stone not at her best. [INO]

• Cameron Diaz is making out with a surfer. Justin Timberlake is somewhere dancing his ass off and not caring. [TMZ]
