Acclaimed director Steven Spielberg -- you know, everything from E.T. to A.I. -- is "ending his involvement as an artistic adviser of the Beijing Olympics." The bearded & bespectacled Hollywood director was reminded of China's cozy relationship with Sudan and the latter's role in the Darfur atrocities, and hence left his Olympic post after being "assailed" by actress Mia Farrow and various humanitarian groups for working with the games' organizers.
