Empire Online reports that if Tim Robbins has his way, there'll soon be a brand-new movie version of George Orwell's 1948-penned literary classic "1984" coming our way. Orwell's novel, which predicted a dark dystopian future in which a totalitarian government watches its subjects relentlessly, is terrifyingly prescient - especially today in a time when civil liberties are infringed by governments on a daily basis.
Robbins is currently directing a stage version of the novel for his LA theatre troupe, The Actors' Gang. That runs until April 8, but when the mag spoke to him yesterday, he said he doesn't want the 1984 experience to end there - "I've got a screenplay of it, and now I'm starting the process of trying to put it together".
"When we think about the authoritarian world that Orwell painted, the catchphrases are one thing, but when you read the book again, the specifics and relevance for now are stunning" says Robbins who confirms it could be some time off - "It's really a matter of whether I can raise the money for it. We'll see if there's an appetite for it. Orwell may have been twenty years off, but I know that I find it incredibly relevant".

March 17, 2006 -- SUSAN Sarandon doesn't think Sen. Hillary Clinton belongs in the White House. "I find Hillary to be a great disappointment," the lefty actress tells More magazine. "She's lost her progressive following because of her caution and centrist approach. It bothered me when she voted for the war. There were brave people who didn't. She's not worse than other politicians, but I hoped she would be better. What America is looking for is authentic people who want to go into public service because they strongly believe in something, not people who are [just] trying to get elected."

Sarandon wants monitoring for U.S. elections
Actress Susan Sarandon recently made headlines when she expressed her disappointment with Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton — who is widely considered to be a possible presidential candidate.
By Jeannette Walls
MSNBC
Susan Sarandon wants the U.S. presidential elections to be monitored by outside interests. The “Bull Durham” star says that the 2004 vote was so fraudulent that we need international oversight — like troubled third-world countries do.
“I believe our next election should be monitored by international entities, just like it happened in Haiti and Iraq,” Sarandon told Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo, according to our translator. “The last one was an embarrassment. Everybody knew there was fraud, but nothing was done about it. In some states there were more votes than people able to vote.”
Sarandon, who recently made headlines when she expressed her disappointment with Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton — who is widely considered to be a possible presidential candidate — and isn’t terribly optimistic about other Dems. “I honestly hope that the Democratic Party finds a candidate for the presidency, but I recognize that the scenario isn’t inspiring.”
Her assessment of President Bush’s administration isn’t upbeat either. “I think we’ve never been as close to George Orwell’s ‘1984’ as before,” she said. “We live in a society where individual rights and legality are definitely threatened and that’s scary.”
Interesting, when the Dems are winning, no need to check for fraud...
I agree about Clinton and the Dem Party, though.

ORGY-OBSESSED
SUSAN Sarandon sure knows how to hold a grudge. The ageless actress is still steamed about Page Six's scoop in January 2002 about a clothing-optional, "Caligula"-style bacchanal that someone threw in her West 15th Street pad when she and longtime love Tim Robbins were out of town. Sarandon told The Post's Ian Bishop at a Washington rally yesterday that she would not speak to him because of the infamous "orgy" item. Sarandon has previously cited her ire over the story to turn down interviews with Post movie critic Lou Lumenick and former Post contributor Jeffrey Slonim.

Susan Sarandon hasn't stopped hissing at Hillary Clinton for backing the Iraq war and cozying up to conservatives, but the feudists shook hands yesterday at a D.C. press conference for the Christopher Reeve Foundation's "Working 2 Walk Rally." Sarandon said: "I don't really want to make [this event] about her. I've never said that she was a bad person." The News' Michael McAuliffe reports Sarandon declined to be interviewed by a certain down-market tabloid that falsely claimed she'd had orgies in her home. "I promised my kids I would never talk to the New York Post," she said.

Sarandon Joins Vigil Against Iraq War
Susan Sarandon lent her star power to a Mother's Day protest against the Iraq war Sunday.
"I can't think of a better way to spend my mothers day," the actress told reporters before speaking.
Sarandon joined anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan onstage at the end of a 24-hour vigil in Lafayette Park, across the street from the White House. She read two letters addressed to first lady Laura Bush, one written by a woman from Oregon and another by herself.
She also brought a copy of the board game Risk, purportedly to be sent to Mrs. Bush along with the letters.
Sarandon's letter suggested that the first lady urge her husband to personally notify some mothers whose children died while serving in Iraq.
"Those moms praying as they wait for the phone to ring and they hear the voice of their child serving in Iraq," Sarandon said to a crowd of perhaps 200 people. "Let him be the one to tell them that this week the call will not be coming."
The protest was organized by Code Pink, a women's anti-war group.

Anti-War Actress Bored by Iraq Pitch
Actress Susan Sarandon says she was bored by President Bush's State of the Union address asking Americans to give his troop buildup in Iraq a chance.
"He didn't talk to me about anything new," she said Wednesday, her own anti-war stance unaltered.
Sarandon appeared with a group of lawmakers in support of a measure to instead withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq within six months. The place to start building support is with the 2008 presidential candidates, she said.
"We're hoping to ask all the candidates in the future, everyone that's hoping to run, to really make this part of their campaigns," Sarandon said.
It's not the first time the actress has tried to bring her star power to bear on next year's presidential race. Last year, she told a British television interviewer she was not enthusiastic about a presidential bid by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., saying Clinton had "crumbled under the pressure of the moment" in voting for the war. Clinton announced her candidacy last weekend.
Sarandon said she will appear with fellow Hollywood war critics Sean Penn and Tim Robbins at an Iraq war protest this weekend in Washington. Last year, she attended a Mother's Day war protest here and also marched in New York City with "peace mom" Cindy Sheehan.

Saturday night, the celeb couple's son, Miles Robbins, 14, played with his band, the Tangents, at Bar East, on First Avenue and 90th Street. Vedder came as a guest of Sarandon and Robbins, and "Eddie jumped onstage and joined the band for a couple of songs, including a hot cover of 'Watchtower,' " said our spy. "Tim was directing traffic, and the place was full of teenagers who were invited by the Robbins family."

TIM ROBBINS CHASTISES TV EXECS FOR ELEVATING BRITNEY OVER IRAQ
In a keynote speech that former New York Daily News TV columnist David Bianculli likened to Edward R. Murrow's "wires and lights in a box" and Newton Minow's "vast wasteland" criticism of the TV industry, actor Tim Robbins castigated broadcasters during his appearance before the NAB convention in Las Vegas Monday. Robbins challenged his audience to "see themselves as part of a larger picture ... to pursue stories past their headlines." He asked rhetorically, "Haven't criminal acts occurred in government? Shouldn't there be accountability for inept policy decisions? Shouldn't someone be fired? And you know something? I didn't hear any of that, because I am still thinking about that starlet getting out of the car without the panties." In an article app earing on the Broadcasting and Cable website, Bianculli wrote that before appearing before the broadcasters, Robbins had been asked not to deliver his speech (he didn't say by whom) and that he would therefore post it "in some other medium." At that point, he wrote, a voice in the audience yelled "speech," the audience applauded, and Robbins pulled out his prepared text. In it, he noted that at the outset of the Iraq war conservative TV and radio broadcasters "told America ... that I was a traitor , a Saddam lover, a terrorist supporter, undermining the troops. I was appealing at the time for the inspectors to have more time to find those Weapons of Mass Destruction. [To critics], I was a naïve dupe of left-wing appeasement." Then, with acid sarc asm, he continued: "If I had known then what I know now, if I had seen the festive and appreciative faces on the streets of Baghdad today, if I had known then what a robust economy we would be in -- the unity of our people, the wildfire of democracy that has spread across the Mideast -- I would never have said those traitorous, unfounded and irresponsible things." In his article about the speech, Bianculli, who moderated Monday's affair, observed: "A few people walked out. At the end, the majority of th e crowd gave Robbins a standing ovation."

All the sensible, moral arguments he makes - which in a parallel universe would be revered - will be washed away the moment Britney flashes her cooch and he knows it.
Phew. For a moment there as I opened up this thread, I thought there was going to be a rumour that Susan Sarandon is pregnant.
ROBBINS BOMBS
EDWARD R. Murrow would be mortified at Tim Robbins' foul-mouthed tip of the hat to him. The Oscar-winning bloviator, speaking at the National Association of Broadcasters' annual trade show, cited the legendary newsman's World War II radio broadcasts from London as the city was being bombed by Germans. "Murrow coined the famous phrase, 'Good night and good luck,' " Robbins began, adding, "as well as the lesser-known phrase, 'Die you Nazi [bleep]suckers!'"

'Why it's never too late to go under the tattooists needle,' says actress Susan Sarandon, 61
It is a look seldom associated with more mature showbusiness stars.
But 61-year-old Susan Sarandon clearly feels it is never too late to go under the tattooists' needle.
The Oscar-winning star of such cult chick flicks as Thelma And Louise and The Witches of Eastwick has unveiled a 10-inch-long tattoo on her back and another on her wrist.
Body art: The marking are the first letters of Susan Sarandon's three children's names
The inked markings, which she had done just a few weeks ago, represent the first letters of her three children's names.
She follows others like Angelina Jolie and The Beckhams who have similarly have their children celebrated with so-called "body art". But of course, the actress is twice their age.
And the reason she gives? "Why not? I turned 60 and after a while you think, 'Well I've only got my body for a few more years anyway'."
Sarandon has two children, Jack Henry, 18, and Miles Guthrie, 16, with long-term partner, the Oscar-winning actor Tim Robbins.
Her third child, Eva Amurri, 23, is from her previous relationship with director Franco Amurri.
And another: The actress has a tattorr on her right wrist too (inset). They are all recent
Clearly proud of the fact she gushed: "I got my first tattoos recently. One around my wrist reads 'E' and 'A' (which stands for Eva Amurri).
"And I have a big one on my back which is my kids' initials intertwined. It's on my back so I don't see it but I know they are always there."
The three intertwined gothic-style letters start with "M" at the top, which links to an "E" in the middle and finally "J" further down.
While her care-free attitude may surprise some of her more mature fans, onlookers at the London premiere of her latest film this week were equally taken aback by her remarkably wrinkle-free appearance.
Though any suggestion that she has enlisted the help of a surgeon are apparently wide of the mark.
Asked the secret of her youthful look, she replied: "I have a young husband, I have young kids," added Sarandon.
"I don't smoke, I have lots of water, do a fair amount of activity and have good genes.
"I live in New York and there is not so much anxiety there to look good and that helps."
Asked whether she would ever have surgery she said: "I never say never. But there are certain people who can do it within the bounds of fixing a little something here or there.
"It's when people start looking like somebody else, their lips start to get weird, or they are younger looking at 65 than they were at 30 and they have that burns victim terrified look, that's just bad taste."
Miss Sarandon has a long way to go before she can match Angelina Jolie's collection of tattoos.
The 32-year-old actress has more than a dozen designs adorning her body, including the geographical coordinates of her children's birthplaces on he upper arm.
Others celebrating their children in such body art include The Beckhams. Victoria has three stars on her back representing her three sons while David has their names - Romeo, Brooklyn and Cruz - also on his back.
Dave Turner, a professional tattooist with 44 years experience said: "People coming in for tattoos of family names and initials is increasingly common.
"But celebrities getting tattoos on their neck are just setting a bad example. It's monkey see, monkey do and most employers now will not employ people who have visible tattoos.
"If film stars want to cover up their tattoos, it is very difficult, even with the make up they have available now. Tattoos begin to fade every seven years or so. After that, they begin to look old."

Yuck. Hate that tattoo on her. Looks nasty and why on earth does a woman of her age need to have the first initials of her kids' name on the back of her neck? Lame.
I don't like it either, especially the place where she put it.
I just like the idea that she doesn't really care what anyone else thinks of them She wanted them so she got them. Just one more thing that makes her stand out from others.

It could have been a tattoo of anything and most people choose to get a tattoo of something meaningful. This is meaningful to her.
Good on her I say... I love the fact that she refuses to conform to the stereotypical notion of what someone her age should be doing.
Love her, love Robbins, hate the tats. It's like wearing miniskirts past 35, some things just aren't cool on women (or men) over a certain age. It doesn't make them look devil-may-care to me, it makes them look a bit desperately seeking youth. Harrison Ford piercing his ear at 50-whatever comes to mind. It's like the old saying, mutton dressed as lamb.
Anyway, I still love Sarandon. She's always fabulous. I'll just ignore the tattoos.

I agree. It's cool that she doesn't care about society's backwards ideas about what's appropriate. Good for her.
I don't like the tattoos, but it has nothing to do with her age--I just don't like them in general. Just my opinion

I agree, and let's not forget that people like David Beckham are not going to stay young forever either, and he's going to look a bit of a tit when he's trooping around at 70 years old with that winged vamp on his neck plus all the rest. By then it'll be like, David...noooooo! What were you thinking! no matter what age you get them done at, you are stuck with them and you're gonna get old with them!
At least Susan's aren't too intrusive. I do wonder how much stereotypes of women as 'responsible and mature' play a part in peoples views. The kind of 'you are past it' thing when I guess when we get to her age we might want to be reckless. Looking forward to it.

I don't think they are any more phoney than the rest of Hollywood, in fact probably less in some ways as they don't seek publicity at every turn.

Seems like you are in the wrong place then, Krista
This place is all about them.

Susan Sarandon kicks us out!
We took in most of President Obama's speech on the Hill earlier this afternoon and then hightailed it speed racer-style to the Creative Coalition/ BGR Group brunch where we found lots of festive people sipping bubbly and reveling in the moment, the speech, and the new president.
There was Josh Lucas, from the movie Sweet Home Alabama, who told Shenan how "moved" he was by Obama's speech and how "humbled."
Lucas told us he sat within 100 yards of Obama during the swearing-in ceremony, adding that the "emotion of the speech was familial" and the silence during the address was "profound."
The actor also told us he was particularly moved by "the democracy of it all."
"It was such a joyous, peaceful transition even though Obama and Bush have completely different ideologies," he said.
Then, we spotted Susan Sarandon and we wondered if she would say a word or two about Obama's speech. So we asked her. Everyone else was abuzz about the newly-elected prez so we assumed she would be too, right? Well, not so much. Sarandon told us she wanted to grab a bite to eat first. Fair enough, we said. We'd catch her later.
But before we could even walk away, a woman ran up and informed us that Sarandon doesn't do press. Okay, we said. No Sarandon for us. Got it.
Then, moments later, the same woman told us she's been asked to ask us to leave.
So we did. Just like that. We only wonder how the woman would act if we asked her something realllllly personal.

Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins Split
One of Hollywood's most enduring relationships has ended – Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins have broken up after more than two decades together, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
"Actress Susan Sarandon and her partner of 23 years, actor Tim Robbins have announced that they separated over the summer," her rep Teal Cannaday tells PEOPLE in a statement. "No further comments will be made."
The couple met on the set of Bull Durham, and they have two sons together, Jack, 20, and Miles, 17.
Sarandon, 63, was previously married to Chris Sarandon, whom she met in college. The actress also dated director Franco Amurri in the mid '80s. The two had a daughter, Eva Amurri, in 1985. (Amurri is also an actress; she most recently appeared in Showtime's Californication).
Sarandon and Robbins, 51, were admired for their long relationship in the face of the pressures of show business, their much-discussed age difference – he's 12 years younger – and that they never married.
"I won’t marry because I am too afraid of taking him for granted or him taking me for granted – maybe it will be a good excuse for a party when I am 80," Sarandon has said in the past.
Both famous liberal activists, they have never been too political at home with their children. "I’ve never tried to force [politics] on them,” the actress tells Psychologies magazine in its January issue, but adds that the election of President Barack Obama “got them excited.”
The family all attended the inauguration in January, though Sarandon insists "our dinner table conversations are rarely political."

Susan Sarandon's Life Post Split: Sexy Nightspots and Flirting
By Liz McNeil
Thursday January 07, 2010 03:50 PM EST
Two weeks after announcing her split from longtime partner Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon is not slowing down: In fact, the 63-year-old single star has been spotted out at several New York City nightspots.
One of Sarandon's favorite hotspots is SPiN, the ping-pong club where she's an investor. On Tuesday night, she strolled into the place just before 8:00 p.m., wearing a slouchy black newsboy cap and sneakers to chat with one of her partners at the lounge, Jonathan Bricklin, and a few friends. Rumors have swirled of a romance between Sarandon and 32-year-old Bricklin, but reps for both have denied it. Still, Sarandon seems to be enjoying the single life.
Here's how she's surviving the break-up!
Hanging out with Younger Guys
Sarandon spends a lot of evenings hanging out at her club SPiN with the young crowd that frequents the place – including Bricklin. On Tuesday, she popped in for just 20 minutes before she was out the door – perhaps to check out another late night hotspot.
Staying Out Late
On Dec. 28, Sarandon was spotted at Manhattan's Creperie, a tiny crepe joint in the West Village. The same night, she and Bricklin, checked out Mermaid Oyster Bar, a casual seafood restaurant just down the street. The kitchen was closed – so they just had drinks. "He drank two Jamesons and she had tequila," says a source. They left at around 1:30 am.
Flirting with Dave Letterman
On Dec. 22 – one day before announcing her split from Robbins – Sarandon appeared on The Late Show with Dave Letterman to promote her upcoming role in The Lovely Bones. She chatted about her two Pomeranians and learning to pole dance with her daughter, Eva, who learned the skill for a guest spot on Californication – and Sarandon showed off a new tattoo around her wrist.
With her late night prowling, maybe 63 really is the new 30.

Sarandon: 'Happiness Keeps Me Young'
Susan Sarandon has claimed that happiness keeps her young.
The 63-year-old told People that she also takes care of her appearance by avoiding cigarettes.
"Don't smoke," she said. "It's just so bad for your complexion. And I guess be as happy as possible. That really helps."
Sarandon also revealed that she has a good relationship with her children, adding: "It's nice to have something in common with your kids... All my kids really are curious and energetic and interested in things."
She concluded: "I hate to sound like the old hippy I am, but I think that even the bad stuff can turn into good stuff. Every day is a miracle, right?"
