The Social Network is Golden at the Globes

The Social Network has virtually locked in its Best Film Oscar after landing four big awards at the Golden Globes on Sunday night.

Just two days after picking up the main prize at the Critics Choice Awards, the film won top honors at the Globes, while there were also accolades for David Fincher (Best Director), Aaron Sorkin (Best Screenplay) and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (Best Score).

The night's big loser was The King's Speech, which led all nominations with seven, but went home with only one - a Best Actor gong for Oscars favourite Colin Firth.

The ceremony's highlight came when Michael Douglas took the stage at the Beverly Hilton Hotel to hand out the Best Motion Picture (Drama) award a week after announcing he was winning his cancer battle.

The healthy looking movie veteran received a standing ovation and then joked, "There's gotta be an easier way of getting a standing ovation... I'm very very happy to be here tonight."

Alongside Firth, Paul Giamatti (Barney's Version), Annette Bening (The Kids Are All Right) and Natalie Portman (Black Swan) won the night's top acting awards for comedy and dramatic movies, while Christian Bale and Melissa Leo claimed the Best Supporting Actor and Actress drama prizes for their roles in boxing drama The Fighter.

In the TV categories, Glee and Boardwalk Empire were the only multiple winners - Glee claimed Best Comedy or Musical Series, while stars Jane Lynch and Chris Colfer won acting honors. Boardwalk Empire was named Best Drama Series and its star Steve Buscemi landed a Best Actor prize.

Other TV acting honors went to Claire Danes, Al Pacino, Jim Parsons, Katey Sagal and Laura Linney.

Cameron Douglas Sentenced to Five Years on Drug Charges

In what a judge called Cameron Douglas's "last chance to make it," the son of actor Michael Douglas was sentenced Tuesday to five years in prison for conspiring to sell crystal meth and for heroin possession.

Cameron was somber as U.S. District Judge Richard Berman announced the sentence. The charges resulted from Cameron's arrest last summer in a federal drug sting.

Douglas, a 31-year-old former deejay, told the judge that he was sober for the first time in his adult life, and that he was grateful for the chance to get clean.

"I’d like to apologize to my family and loved ones for putting them through this nightmare of my making," Cameron said, adding, "I believe, your honor, things will be different this time."

In making his decision, Berman said he took into consideration more than two dozen letters written on Cameron's behalf, including a five-page handwritten letter from his father and an emotional letter from Cameron's mother, Diandra, both of whom admitted to the judge that they had failed Cameron.

In his letter to the judge Michael Douglas wrote, "For the past eight months, I have cherished my two hr. a week in person conversation with Cameron at the MCC [Metropolitan Correctional Center]. He's sober!" Douglas wrote.

"I get to witness the wonderful young man he can be. He maintains his spirit, blames no one but himself, and recognizes his criminal activity began with his heroin use."

Douglas could have faced a minimum of 10 years in prison under sentencing guidelines, but Berman noted that other court decisions have found that those guidelines are no longer mandatory. Instead he opted to give Douglas a sentence of five years in prison, followed by five years of supervised release.

“I think this case (and) sentence may well be his last chance to make it," the judge said.

In arguing for a lighter sentence, Douglas's attorney Nicholas De Feis said, “He’s not going to let his family down, and they’re not going to let him down."

Michael Douglas: 'Matt Damon is Smart to Play My Gay Lover'

Michael Douglas has heaped praise on Matt Damon for agreeing to play his gay lover in a new biopic about flamboyant pianist Liberace.

Douglas will play the Polish-Italian musician in Steven Soderbergh's as-yet-untitled film, while Damon has been drafted in to play his boyfriend Scott Thorson.

And he commends Damon for balancing out his blockbuster films, including the Bourne trilogy, with more unusual projects like their upcoming collaboration.

He says, "I'm just going to get really comfortable so (my portrayal of Liberace) is not a caricature. Matt Damon's going to be my young lover. God bless Matt. He's right to take chances. It's smart to mix it up a bit and maintain the franchise and still get to do a picture that turns you on."

Liberace - real name Wladziu Valentino Liberace - was a huge star in the 1950s and 60s, famous for his showmanship and glittery suits.

He repeatedly refused to acknowledge his homosexuality, right up until his death from AIDS in 1987, at the age of 67 - even successfully suing a British tabloid for suggesting he was gay.

Michael Douglas: Viagra is a ‘Wonderful Enhancement’

Michael Douglas has revealed that Viagra is the secret to keeping up with his much-younger wife Catherine Zeta Jones.

The 65-year-old actor confessed in an interview with AARP magazine that modern medicine is one of the reasons for his successful marriage to 40-year old Zeta Jones.

“At least in your head, your fire burns as brightly. Let’s not kid ourselves. God bless her that she likes older guys,” he said when asked about their love life.

“And some wonderful enhancements have happened in the last few years – Viagra, Cialis – that can make us all feel younger.”

Douglas, who has two children by the actress – Dylan, 9, and Carys, 6 − says his marriage and family have shifted his priorities.

“My career was the most important thing in my life, followed by marriage and children. And it’s completely reversed now. I never anticipated starting a family and the joy of raising kids at my age,” he said. “I think it’s easier for me to be a good father.”

Douglas acknowledges that he could have been a better father to his 31-year-old son Cameron, who is currently in jail on drug charges.

“I’ll assume whatever responsibilities I have to,” he said. “Would it have been better to have been around more? Absolutely. There were absences, and I was no angel.”

George Clooney Prefers Prostate Exams Over Facebook

Don't expect to "Facebook friend" George Clooney anytime soon – one of the world's sexiest men would rather undergo an intrusive medical procedure than be your pal on the Internet.

"I would rather have a prostate exam on live television by a guy with very cold hands than have a Facebook page," Clooney, 48, quipped to reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday.

Meanwhile...Kirk Douglas enjoys networking.

Surprisingly, you might have better luck with Kirk Douglas, 92. His son, Michael Douglas, 64, boasted about his father's prowess with social-media networking.

"I think he has the record as the oldest person on MySpace," Michael Douglas said at the festival Saturday. "I got a note from dad, 'Dear Michael, I've got 800 new friends What should I do?' But I don't know how anybody does it! Who's got time for this?"

Michael Douglas to Play Liberace

Michael Douglas is taking a sharp turn from his usual roles to tackle the lead in a film biography of the campy musical performer Liberace, and Matt Damon is playing his longtime lover, director Steven Soderbergh confirmed.

"We've already done some costume and wardrobe tests on Michael, and they're very, very, very good." Soderbergh told a French newspaper at the Deauville Film Festival. "I swear to you, Michael amazed me. He crushed it."

Born Wladziu Valentino, the flamboyant, piano-playing Liberace, nicknamed "Mr. Showmanship" and "Glitter Man," was a staple of early 1950s television, and was an institution in Las Vegas until his death from AIDS in 1987. At his height, he made more money than Elvis and The Beatles.

Damon, Soderbergh said, has agreed to portray Scott Thorsen, the assistant/boyfriend whose 1982 palimony suit for $110 million publically outed the entertainer.

"Matt accepted the challenge," Soderbergh said. "But I have to say I'd already convinced him to gain 30 pounds for The Informant."

Liberace will be filmed off a script by writer/director Richard Lagravense, who was responsible for The Bridges of Madison County. Soderbergh said the budget will allow filmmakers to re-stage segments of Liberace's spectacular stage act, which often involved elaborate stunts such as flying or driving to his piano bench in a Rolls-Royce.

Javier Bardem & Shia Labeouf to Join Michael Douglas on Wall Street

Javier Bardem and Shia Labeouf are taking on Michael Douglas in the forthcoming sequel to 1987 film Wall Street.

Douglas has been recast as ruthless Wall Street player Gordon Gekko by director Oliver Stone for Wall Street 2, a follow-up to the Oscar-winning drama - and he's landed an all-star cast.

Transformers star Labeouf is set to play an ambitious trader who is engaged to Gekko's daughter, while Bardem will take on the role of a risk-taking hedge fund manager.

The original film's stars received mixed reviews. Douglas won an Oscar for Best Actor for the movie while Daryl Hannah's performance earned her a Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actress.

Wall Street 2 is slated to begin filming in August.
