Brandon Davis is a racist and homophobic; Alec Baldwin and his daughter play games with the paparazzi; Charlie Murphy gets confused for Eddie Murphy; TMZ tries to get Christopher Lloyd to talk about anything; and just who is "The Queen on the Scene?"

In 1983 Hopper entered a drug rehabilitation program, spent time in a state institution, and cured himself of his addictions. (edit) He starred as an aging freebase-addled rock star in the low-budget Neil Young-Dean Stockwell collaboration Human Highway with the new wave group Devo. Production was often delayed by his unreliable behavior. (edit) He won acclaim for directing and acting in Out of the Blue (1980). (edit) Hopper wrote and directed another film that was released in 1971 called The Last Movie that was a box office failure and derailed his career for years. Hopper had long been an alcoholic and drug abuser and it was at this point his addiction began to dominate his life. (edit) It was not until he teamed with Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson and made Easy Rider that he really shook up the Hollywood establishment. This film became an anthem of sorts to the lost generation of the Vietnam war and to this day is one of the most successful independent films ever made. Hopper won wide acclaim as the director of the film for his improvisational methods and stop action photography. (edit)

(Washington Post Staff Writer)
William Booth: He is talented and thoughtful, and his stuff appears to be unique, solid. (edit) (Speaking of Wim Wenders)
Dennis Hopper: I think I understand what he means. It's remarkable how, despite the different characteristics of each place, whether in Japan, Israel of America, Wim's photos all have a similar feel, this same feeling of absence and loneliness. (edit) (Speaking about the movie Land Of The Dead)
Reporter: How do you differ politically now?
Dennis Hopper: People have called my character Rumsfeldian. The character I play in this is a very evil person. I do not see Donald Rumsfeld as an evil man. I just want to make that clear. (edit) Dennis Hooper: I've never had any great roles (edit) (Speaking of the movie "Land of the Dead")
Reporter: Do you get in touch with the zombies?
Dennis Hopper: They get in touch with me. (edit)
