What are you doing on this first weekend of summer? Whatever it is, make time to read USA WEEKEND to catch up on singer Mary J. Blige and to listen in on our phone conversation with Dirty Harry himself, Clint Eastwood.  Blige is the cover story; Eastwood a quick interview. One bit from Clint that didn't make the story: Whether he's going for McCain or Obama. "I’ve been watching some of this stuff, but I must say I’m not excited about the whole thing," says the ex-mayor of Carmel, Calif. He says his wife, a former TV reporter, worked in Arizona and got to know McCain so the Eastwoods were enthusiastic about McCain eight years ago. "We still like him, so we'll see what  happens."

If you get your election news from television, you must not miss the piece in this week's New Yorker on MSNBC's angry anchor Keith Olbermann. As one of Olbermann's  "worst person in the world" subjects, I had a particular interest, and was just slightly surprised to find that even Olbermann's bosses think he's crazy.

While we're talking magazines...I plan to make time this weekend for The Atlantic's cover story "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" Don't worry, I'm not abandoning my low-brow ways.  I'll catch up with my tabloids, too. Got to get the details on Jamie Lynn Spears baby girl and the John Mayer-Jennifer Aniston romance. Does anyone else wonder what Aniston is thinking dating that cad?

Speaking of summer and reading, don't tell my book club because I'm supposed to be engrossed in the well-reviewed novel I Am Madam X but I'm so caught up in Girls Like Us, about Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell and Carole King, that I read until I fall asleep with it on my head every night. And I can't wait to start the new David Sedaris book When You Are Engulfed in Flames, even if Entertainment Weekly didn't much like it.  Because I can't get enough of old Hollywood, I'm making my way through the Doris Day biography I told you about yesterday, which reminds me that while I was in NYC for the Tony Awards last weekend I heard about Robert Wagner's tell-all autobio coming in September. Much good gossip and names named, so I'm told.  What are you reading?  Tell me by posting below. I love new recommendations.

Tonight I'm heading out for a girls movie night; we're thinking about Get Smart. I SO wanted to be agent 99 when I was a kid. But if you are staying in and  want an excellent rental, get Stop-Loss with Ryan Phillippe. I rented it last weekend and was stunned by the performances and the story it tells.

Celebrities, they're just like us, right?  Brad Pitt took in a Radiohead concert in Milan on Wednesday night, flying there from the south of France on a private jet. Oh, yeah. Just like me.
