Unable to get Chinese president Hu Jintao to do more than turn a blind eye to the suffering in Darfur, director Steven Spielberg has resigned as an "artistic adviser" to the Beijing Olympics, where he was consulting on the opening and closing ceremonies. The announcement comes on the same day nine Nobel Peace laureates sent letters, similar to the ones Spielberg has written, to Jintao urging more action. It also comes on the same day as Daniel Radcliffe shooting down rumors Spielberg is directing the next Harry Potter. [Reuters]
