Black Book: Boldface Names and Bar Mitzvahs

The new Black Book is out and once again it’s chock full of bolfaced names from the literati/glitterati/flitterati. Right away we appreciate the cover, featuring Canadian actor’s actor Ryan Gosling (all-grown-up now, eh Sandra Bullock?) with actor’s actor’s actor Don Cheadle (moderated by 25th Hour scribe David Benioff). The piece is called “Missionary Men” but Cheadle’s experience in Boogie Nights doesn’t come up once; actually they discuss their activism in Africa and specifically in Darfur (interesting factoid: Bush saw three movies last year — two of which were Hotel Rwanda, which he saw twice).
