Star Gazing at a Changing Table

Various headlines surfing the wake of the Oscars announce that one of the world's premier bachelors, George Clooney, is finally ready for his close-up as a father.

He received various shoutouts from those on stage and a runner-up consolation kiss (in the interest of parity, he said) from Daniel Day-Lewis [Earlier: Blame and Fame], who accepted his winner's gold on behalf of his grandfather, father and his three sons.

And by all accounts he has grown professionally and it is now time to make his father Nick, a Kentucky media star and losing congressional candidate a grandfather. So, bye-bye bachelorhood and bring it on, baby George.

** Welcome the soon-to-be-star of stage, screen and changing table ... and expect his movies to change as well. **
