See ya: singer SINÉAD O’CONNOR has had it and announced her retirement from making new music and touring to support her albums. Sinéad wrote "I've Gotten Older and I'm Tired" on her Twitter account last Friday --"Time to put the feet up and make other dreams come true." But --she still will be releasing a new album called "NVDA" next year. After that, she says --"it's time for me to hang up my nipple tassels, having truly given my all."
Tired of the usual war films? Look for a movie called “The Inspection,” starring GABRIELLE UNION and JEREMY POPE. It's reportedly about a gay man who enlists in the Marines. The film, written by ELEGANCE BRATTON, is reportedly based on his own experience. Pope will be starring as the young man enlisting in the Marines, while Union will star as Pope’s mother, whose approval he’s desperate to win.
