Michael Douglas and Christoph Waltz will star as former president Ronald Reagan and his Soviet counterpart Mikhail Gorbachev in a limited series in development at Paramount TV Studios.
Douglas will play the 40th U.S. president while Waltz will play Gorbachev, who was General Secretary of the Communist Party for the Soviet Union from 1985 until its dissolution in 1991. The series is called “Reagan & Gorbachev.”
The project, which currently doesn’t have a home, chronicles the 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev Summit in Iceland, which is described by many historians as the turning point in the Cold War. The two-day gathering in Reykjavik laid the groundwork for a historic arms accord the following year and is considered one of Reagan’s finest moments as president. The series will be told from the vantage point of Ken Adelman, who was Reagan’s arms control director.

A judge has ordered Barbra Streisand to hand over $154,000 to a man she lost a court battle to, after months of delay in reaching a payment agreement. The singer and actress took photographer Ken Adelman to court for $10 million last year in her quest to have two photographs of her Malibu, California, home removed from his environmental website. But Los Angeles Superior Court judge Allan Goodman ruled the pictures - posted to chronicle the erosion of the California coastline - didn't violate her privacy, and rejected the Funny Girl star's request for an injunction, ordering her to pay defendant Adelman's legal fees. Adelman's attorney, Richard Kendall, told American TV show Celebrity Justice that the parties were ordered to get together and work out a settlement, but that Streisand absolutely refused to agree on any amount - she simply wasn't going to pay. So they went back to court, where Adelman had to file a motion to get the court to order her to turn over the money. The judge had no choice but to come up with his own judgment. And the final decision ordered Streisand to pay Adelman's attorney fees in the amount of $139,000, and since Adelman had to go back to court to force her to pay, the judge tacked on another $15,000 for legal fees. This made Streisand's grand total $154,000. That judgment fell about $40,000 short of what Adelman had asked for, but he says the fact that the judge deemed Streisand's case without merit is the true victory. Streisand has until the end of May to pay up.

Barbra Streisand faces being hauled back to court after losing an invasion of privacy battle last year - because she reportedly hasn't paid the costs she was ordered to hand over. The singer and actress took photographer Ken Adelman to court last year in her quest to have two photographs of her Malibu, California home removed from his environmental website. But Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Allan Goodman ruled the pictures didn't violate her privacy, and rejected the Funny Girl star's request for an injunction, ordering her to pay defendant Adelman's legal fees. But Adelman insists Streisand's cash still isn't forthcoming, three months after his court victory in December. Posting a statement on her official website, Streisand insists she plans to "fight back", arguing the posting of the pictures posed "security problems". Adelman maintains he posted the pictures as part of a environmental study on California's coastline.
