Rob Goodell A scary moment for a man and his family, when an angry bison charged the group, goring one person and sending them to the hospital. It all went down on Monday, the 34-year-old man and his family were walking on a boardwalk near the animal at Yellowstone National Park. Apparently, the trio got a little too close for comfort to the bison, who charged them ... knocking the man and a child to the ground. Officials say the man was gored, suffering injuries to his arm and sending him to the hospital for treatment. Park reps say this is the second time this year a visitor got too close to a bison and was not only gored, but also tossed 10 ft into the air. … [Read more...] about Bison Attacks Man and His Family At Yellowstone National Park

Barbara Broccoli Says Next James Bond Film Is Two Years Away From Production: “We’re Reinventing Him”
EXCLUSIVE: James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has revealed that it will be “at least two years“ before the next 007 movie begins filming and that the task of finding an actor to replace Daniel Craig hasn’t begun “because it’s a reinvention of Bond.” Speaking to us at a star-studded private event in central London to honor Broccoli and her brother Michael G. Wilson for their BFI Fellowships, Broccoli wouldn’t be drawn on who would play Bond next but did offer an update on the decision-making process. “Nobody’s in the running,” she disclosed. “We’re working out where to go with him, we’re talking that through. There isn’t a script and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond. We’re reinventing who he is and that takes time. I’d say that filming is at least two years away.” The private dinner was held at Claridge’s Hotel in central London and was hosted by British Film … [Read more...] about Barbara Broccoli Says Next James Bond Film Is Two Years Away From Production: “We’re Reinventing Him”

O.J. Simpson Takes Stand for L.A. Law Enforcement Despite Blasting LAPD in Trial
Pigs are flying ... O.J. Simpson is supporting Los Angeles County law enforcement. The ex-con took a stand (not THE stand) Wednesday for the L.A. County Sheriff's Department with a video rant ripping West Hollywood for voting to cut funding for the agency. Getty Simpson says the decision is all wrong, pointing out his infamous history with the law in L.A. and saying, "Trust me, we need police, we need the sheriffs' department" ... referring to the time he spent behind bars during his murder trial. Gallery Launch Gallery Getty Frankly, the fact O.J. is supporting L.A. County law enforcement is rich, and probably pretty galling to cops -- considering his murder trial defense team famously and viciously attacked LAPD for allegedly contaminating evidence and being racist. They effectively made the trial more about LAPD actions than O.J.'s. Getty Fred Goldman Applies To Renew Judgment Against O.J. Simpson, You … [Read more...] about O.J. Simpson Takes Stand for L.A.
