HollywoodNews.com: Last night’s screening of the extraordinary documentary about the murder of NFL star Pat Tillman drew some heavyweights including double Oscar winner Jane Fonda, movie star Josh Brolin (he narrates “The Tillman Story”), Kerry Washington, Dick Ebersol, famed cinematographer Ellen Kuras, plus Dan Abrams, Sports Illustrated’s illustrious Terry McDonell, Broadway producer Jean Doumanian, Karen Duffy, Ahmad Rashad, and filmmaker James Toback.
“The Tillman Story,” directed by Amir Bar-Lev, is infuriating and incendiary as it recounts how Tillman, handsome and popular, a a gifted football player, was killed by friendly fire — American soldiers– in Afghanistan. Then the Army and the Bush adminstration covered it all up and lied to the Tillman family over and over again.
The whole saga, still unresolved thanks to an idiotic Congressional hearing, is reminiscent of C.D.B. Bryan’s famous non fiction work, “Friendly Fire,” from the 1970s. History just repeats itself.

Sports Illustrated has given its top 2008 award to Olympic champion Michael Phelps. The magazine's group editor Terry McDonell said this year it was an easy choice: "Look at what he did in Beijing last summer. I was there. I saw him race after race, win again and again -- we all saw that. And then to know him now -- it is so obvious that he changed not only swimming, but also the entire Olympic landscape." Phelps, 23, will be honored tonight in New York City along with Special Olympics founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who will be the first recipient of the Sportsman of the Year Legacy Award. Previous Sportsmen of the Year include Muhammad Ali, Lance Armstrong, Michael Jordan, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
