Former CBS Evening News anchor Walter Cronkite has signed on to tape a series of seven-to-10-minute editorials for a new network called Retirement Living TV. Oddly, from the sound of it, the bits, called Cronkite's Commentaries, sound suspiciously like Gramps has just figured out how to video blog... Rumer "Daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce" Willis has been named Miss Golden Globe for this year's 65th annual award show, airing Jan. 13. The starlet's credits include such features as Mom's Striptease and Dad's The Whole Nine Yards... Ossifying Playboy playa Hugh Hefner has given $2 million to the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, saying, "I've always believed that following one's dreams is very important." Whether said dream's name is Heather or Tiffany or Penny. No, wait, make that Hope. - Ben Katner
