Got a cool phone call from Stone Cold Steve Austin yesterday and we talked a little about my stent procedure but mostly about this weekend's football games. Steve has always been a valued friend even in the most challenging of times since we've known each other. I always know that I can count on Steve Austin when the chips are down in any scenario. Steve is entertaining the prospects of a couple of kick ass scripts for upcoming films and is really building a solid body of film work.

Here are some highlights from last night's event:

Roberts, 54, received a career achievement award. His career began in the late 1970s and includes the films "The Pope of Greenwich Village" and "The Dark Knight." "You can't say no to honors," said Roberts, who praised the people of Temecula as down-to-earth and unpretentious.

Presenting Roberts' award was former wrestling star "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who co-starred with Roberts in this year's action flick "The Expendables."

"He's my new best friend," Roberts said of Austin.
