- The Old Guys Finally Give In. It's the end of evading the noose for three over-the-hill stars this week: David Letterman, 61, tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend in Montana this week (they have a son, Harry); Harrison Ford, 66, proposed to longtime girlfriend Calista Flockhart this week (they have a son, Liam); and Bruce Willis, 54, remarried his girlfriend, model/actress Emma Heming, also this week.

- New HBO Movie Would Be Morgan Debut. Dennis Quaid will play Bill Clinton in a new HBO movie, "The Special Relationship," that analyzes the chummy years between the U.S. and the UK -- Julianne Moore is attached to star as Hillary Clinton, and Michael Sheen will reprise his role as Tony Blair. Peter Morgan, who wrote "The Queen," "The Deal" and "Frost/Nixon" (all of which starred Sheen), wrote the film and will direct it if greenlighted. This would be his directorial debut.

The Supreme Court heard arguments yesterday to the effect that a 90-minute negative documentary about Hillary Clinton -- "Hillary: The Movie" -- violated campaign finance laws.
