Don Cheadle has appeared in all three of the recent "Ocean's" films.
Veteran Hollywood producer Jerry Weintraub and actor Don Cheadle will be honored at ShoWest film industry convention next month in Las Vegas.
Weintraub co-produced the "Ocean's Eleven" remake and the recent spinoffs "Ocean's Twelve" and "Ocean's Thirteen."

Cheadle, who has appeared in all of Weintraub's "Ocean's" movies will be presented with the Male Star of the Year award.
The annual convention takes place March 12-15 at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas.
The "Ocean's Thirteen" premiere, I hear, will be ready in June. Unclear is whether there will be a Las Vegas premiere involved.
