Samuel L Jackson loves playing golf, so much so he has it written in to his contract that he gets to play 2 days on the green and that the producers pay for it before he will sign on to do the movie according to OK!
He says, “It’s part of my perk package… Two days off, they have to pay for it. Generally, the way they make that happen is they just move me onto a golf course when they send me to town.
“My assistant generally has the responsibility of finding the new courses, setting up the tee times and giving me the directions.”
Jackson’s golfing deal was tested recently while he was shooting The Sunset Limited in New Mexico.
He explains, “I was just doing a film with Tommy Lee Jones in Santa Fe, so they moved me into a golf community – the two best golf courses in Santa Fe… (and) they closed the golf course three days after I got there.
“I couldn’t go out there and play because it just wasn’t open. I had to find places to play. I’d drive about an hour away and go up to about 6,000 feet… to play.
Out of all the people to be so obsessed with getting a hole in one, I never ever would have dreamed it would be the guy who said “I am sick of those mother f*cking snakes, on this mother f*cking plane.”

Jonathan Rhys Meyers was promoting the last season of The Tudors and he got very animated talking about his final days King Henry VIII. I am so going to miss him in the role, but at least we will always have these picture to remember those beautiful eyes and him by!
Tune into The Tudors tonight on Showtime at 9p as King Henry VIII ends his second to last marriage as only he can.
Even though Betty White has been around longer than the whole cast of Saturday Night Live has been alive combined, she never hosted the show until last night. Lorne Michaels made a mistake never having on her before because anytime she was on the show, I laughed. Whenever anyone else was on the screen, I didn’t. Betty White has true comedic timing and I hope that everyone who worked with her yesterday learned from her because the one thing that was evident is that they so need to. Really. Really.
Seriously the one thing I learned from watching Saturday Night for the first time in years, is that the show isn’t funny. Can someone please explain to me why anyone ever thought Molly Shannon was ever funny. Stop showing your crotch and keep hoping they bring back Kath & Kim. But enough about her.
Seriously how awesome was Betty White? Obviously the people of Facebook know more about what makes a good host than the people booking SNL because the show had its highest ratings since November, 2008. According to Extra Betty scored an 8.8 rating in the overnights, topping everything else that aired on Saturday night! You go girl! As Justin Bieber Tweeted, “BETTY WHITE RULES”
You can watch the three best skits that were posted online from the show above and the whole show below!
