  • Love scenes are judged Michael Douglas

    Hollywood actor Michael Douglas says it is tough filming love scenes for any movie because everybody judges them. He has shot a gay love scene with actor Matt Damon in his forthcoming film Steven Soderbergh's "Behind the Candelabra".

  • Hanley among Dodgers progressing toward return

    Email MILWAUKEE -- Manager Don Mattingly had generally positive news on most of the rehabbing Dodgers on Tuesday. Hanley Ramirez tested his hamstring running in the outfield, and Mattingly said the shortstop continues to make progress, although he is still probably two weeks away from playing.

The bullpen-wide slump that cost the Dodgers a sweep in Atlanta has the manager as uncertain about the late innings as the fans. "I know who I want to use. But I don't know if I ...
