The children who appeared in the Oscar-laden “Slumdog Millionaire” continue to live in poverty, although trust funds have already been set up for them by director Danny Boyle.

Al Gore's commitment to saving the environment is no secret to anyone, as the Nobel-prized former vice-president (1993-2001) made that perfectly clear in his environmentalist documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.

I have a feeling Marion Cotillard is not so happy with her newly-found worldwide fame right about now, and for good reason, too.
