Forget politics, the war in Iraq and the bird flu, this is real news, courtesy of our good friends at "Access Hollywood":

OVER HALF OF "ACCESS HOLLYWOOD" VIEWERS POLLED PREFER ACTRESS SIENNA MILLER'S HAIR SHORT


SHOW AIRS ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2005


BURBANK, Calif. - November 22, 2005 - A website poll conducted by "Access Hollywood" reveals that over half of the hit entertainment newsmagazine's participating viewers prefer actress Sienna Miller's new cropped coif to her former long locks. The story airs on "Access Hollywood" on Tuesday, November 22, 2005.

Yesterday, "Access Hollywood" asked viewers to go to www.accesshollywood.com, and weigh in on whether or not they prefer Miller's new haircut.

56-percent voted in favor of the actress's short hairstyle, while 44-percent preferred her hair long.

On yesterday's "Access Hollywood," New York Correspondent Tim Vincent asked Miller which look she likes better. "Long probably," she said. "Long is more me, but to be honest, it's fun to have a change. I'm young...it was quite liberating cutting it all off."

Euro trash

That'll be me come February, when I'm off to Berlin for 2 weeks to cover the Berlin Film Festival for Variety.

We put out a daily paper there for the fest and it'll be a busy time. Never been before but it should be a memorable experience.

If anyone has hotel, restaurant or sightseeing recommendations, I'm all ears.

Intelligent ladies

I spoke on the phone with Claire Danes and Scarlett Johansson this week, for Oscar profile for their respective films, "Shopgirl" and "Match Point."

Both women were very nice, well spoken and gave a lot of thought to questions regarding their characters, the relationship they had on set with their directors (Scarlett was directed by Woody Allen) and how they prepared for their roles.

It's always nice to see a film and then talk to the actor about your thoughts on it and how they, as actors, played out certain scenes that resonate long after the movie's over.

Celeb sighting

Had lunch at Canter's Deli today and, upon walking in, almost bumped into Dustin Hoffman ordering from the counter.
