A Beverly Hills synagogue that counts many Hollywood stars as members and supporters including the parents of Ben Stiller as well as Angelina Jolie’s father Jon Voight, has released a Yom Kippur DVD that is being offered for free to anyone who has difficulty attending High Holiday services.

The Creative Arts Temple DVD is aimed at the elderly, disabled and anyone who cannot attend due to mobility problems and features a special 48-minute Kol Nidre service with a number of celebrities taking part.

Sharon Osbourne is said to be furious with her brother David Arden’s sensational expose in a British tabloid on Sunday and is “devastated” by his betrayal, according to reports.

Friends star David Schwimmer struggled to keep focused whilst directing his new comedy film Run, Fat Boy, Run, because his stars were too funny.
