Clint Eastwood - Eastwood Encourages Clinton
Veteran actor CLINT EASTWOOD has urged presidential hopeful HILLARY CLINTON to keep fighting in the ongoing race leading up to the next U.S. election.
The Dirty Harry star, a supporter of Republican presidential candidate John MCCain, has told the New York senator and former First Lady not to give up - despite the fact her rival Barack Obama currently has the majority of pledged delegates for the Democratic nomination.
He says, "Everybody's trying to talk her into folding, but it doesn't seem like the spirit of America.
"I watch Clinton and feel sorry for her and wonder, 'What are all these people telling her to run away for?'
"She's showing her strength by hanging in there. Put yourself in her place. You've gone out there and made a thousand speeches, shaken a million hands and been out there working your ass off. Then somebody comes up and says, 'Why don't you just drop out of it?'"
Obama has now claimed a 1,961 delegates compared to Clinton's 1,779, according to Fox News. The winner will go on to fight Republican candidate MCCain to become U.S. President in the nationwide vote later this year (08).

Bee Gees - Gibbs Sadness Over Fatherhood
BEE GEES star ROBIN GIBB has compared his lack of involvement in his children's lives to a bereavement.
The singer was banned from seeing his two children following the breakdown of his first marriage in Molly Hullis in 1980.
And the star - who is teaming up with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to launch Parent Know How, a campaign for absent fathers - compared his lack of access to a bereavement.
He says, "I felt as if I was on the verge of madness.
"It was distressing and very traumatic because I had no contact whatsoever. There was no response to my calls, no acknowledgement of my gifts, no letters. I felt dejected, rejected, worthless. Nobody was telling me anything about my kids.
"You can achieve great things in life professionally, but if your children are being kept away from you, you feel empty. Emotionally, mentally and spiritually I felt abandoned.
"I had some of my blackest moments during those lost years when my children became strangers to me. I think the bleakness I felt was matched only when my twin brother Maurice died.'
Maurice Gibb died from complications caused by a burst intestine in 2003.

Concert review | Bobby McFerrin performs, conducts, jams at intimate anniversary show
Concert Review |
Seeing Bobby McFerrin perform at Kirkland Performance Center is like having this invincible Pied Piper of song all to yourself. And a few hundred friends.
McFerrin can fill the Paramount Theatre or Benaroya Hall with fans of his unique vocalizing. But the Kirkland Performance Center, a valued Eastside cultural hub offering shows by local and national artists throughout the year, is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
And what could be more festive than an intimate evening with the man of a thousand voices singing perfectly loud? And soft?
Pinning back his mop of graying dreadlocks, and pouring his heart and slender frame into every tune, McFerrin on Friday night regaled his rapt audience with a cappella renditions of beloved songs (Charlie Chaplin's "Smile," the Beatles' "From Me to You"), classical airs (a Bach partita overlaid with "Ave Maria"), and improvised numbers in Brazilian, bluesy and African modes.
McFerrin is still his own combo. Using chest-slaps or mouth clicks for percussion, he somehow keeps a bass line, a tenor melody and baritone embellishments going all at once, with masterful use of his microphone and seamless octave leaping.
But the joy of a McFerrin concert is also in becoming part of his global chorus. With a little instruction, and a few hand gestures, he weaves every willing voice into his sonic tapestry.
And he always delights in getting fans onstage to jam with him. Friday night at KPC, an excited teen dancer improvised to his music. And a brave young singer swung through "Fly Me to the Moon," to accompanied by McFerrin's vocals and patrons' fingersnaps.
McFerrin performs again Saturday at KPC. On Sunday the center extends the party with a day of free performances (see box for details).
