LAST UPDATED AT 08:58 ON Mon 23 Feb 2009

Bruce Springtseen, aka 'The Boss', is to headline the bill at this year's Glastonbury music festival, in a move that will please traditionalists after last year's controversial headliner, rapper Jay-Z. Other acts rumoured but not confirmed are veteran US rocker Neil Young, and Blur, the Brit pop band led by Damon Albarn.............Hero pilot Chesley Sullenberger and his wife, Lori, were the surprise stars of Vanity Fair's Oscar dinner and after-party last night, where they rubbed shoulders with Kate Winslet, who got very drunk, Dennis Hopper, Sheryl Crow, Mick Jagger, Uma Thurman and Larry David..............Jane Fonda's return to Broadway - the 71-year-old actress is appearing in Moises Kaufman's 33 Variations, her first stage role since 1963 - was marred on Saturday night by a band of Vietnam Veterans picketing the theatre. "Jane Fonda is a traitor," said one of their number, Dan Maloney, of the Gathering of Eagles, a veterans group. The claim is a reference to Fonda's controversial visit to Hanoi, the North Vietnamese capital, in 1972, where she made a radio broadcast that was critical of US policy and thereafter had the moniker 'Hanoi Jane'. "That two-minute lapse of sanity will haunt me until the day I die," she wrote in her autobiography, My Life So Far............Award-winning author Christopher Nolan, who was almost completely paralysed by cerebral palsy, has died at the age of 43.
