Who doesn't love horses?

Better yet, how about the REAL LIFE inspiration for Robert Redford's character in The Horse Whisperer?

Meet Buck Brannaman, the star of the Sundance Film Festival Audience Award-winning documentary Buck.

While most ranchers practice "breaking" wild horses, Buck believes in building a trusted connection between the horse and its rider.

In fact, often times, instead of helping people with horse problems, he'll help horses with people problems.

Watch the trailer above!

Her SECOND book in less than a year! She is SO prolific!

Back in August, we were very impressed to learn that Betty White would be releasing two books in less than a year!

She came out with Here We Go Again: My Life In Television back in October, and now her memoir If You Ask Me: (And Of Course You Won't) will be released tomorrow!

Here's how the book is described on Amazon.com:

"Drawing from a lifetime of lessons learned, seven-time Emmy winner Betty White's wit and wisdom take center stage as she tackles topics like friendship, romantic love, aging, television, fans, love for animals, and the brave new world of celebrity. If You Ask Me mixes her thoughtful observations with humorous stories from a seven- decade career in Hollywood. Longtime fans and new fans alike will relish Betty's candid take on everything from her rumored crush on Robert Redford (true) to her beauty regimen ("I have no idea what color my hair is and I never intend to find out") to the Facebook campaign that helped persuade her to host Saturday Night Live despite her having declined the hosting job three times already.

Featuring all-new material, with a focus on the past fifteen years of her life, If You Ask Me is funny, sweet, and to the point-just like Betty White."

Sounds fantastic! We wish U the best of luck with your new book, Betty!

Will U pick up Betty White's memoir when it's released tomorrow?

Come on, Hollywood! Show Robert Redford a little more respect! He is a knight, after all…

While at Sundance, Redford spoke up about how he never gets asked to be in movies anymore.

Here's what he had to say about it:

"I ask the question — I say, 'Hey I'd like to be [in that movie]' and they say, 'Would you? You're kidding.' And I say 'No.'"

"Something is happening over the years that makes a lot of people think that I don't do this anymore, when the truth is, it's what I enjoy most."

At least it seems like he's finding SOME work. Here are a couple of roles he's got on the horizon:

- A major role in a Jackie Robinson bio-pic
- A starring role in an adaptation of Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods

We're totally on board for a comeback of SIR Robert Redford!

If Mickey Rourke can do it…

Would U like to see Robert Redford become a big-screen presence once again?

Robert Redford is now a knight!

French President Nicolas Sarkozy inducted actor/director Robert Redford into France’s elite Legion of Honor. During the ceremony Sarkozy commended Redford for his decades of film and his work to protect the environment.

Sarkozy told Redford that he is an “incarnation of the United States and all that that country represents." He believes people will continue to watch and enjoy his films forever.

Redford was honored and thanked the French people saying, "I will continue with my commitment to make cinema that opens people's spirits and goes beyond borders, and this prize will help me do that."

The Legion of Honor was created by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802, with some of the other members being Clint Eastwood and Canadian director David Cronenberg.

This is an exciting event for Robert! Congrats!!!
