Chloe Grace Moretz, an actor who has recently begun charming me in ways I was initially resistant to but have ultimately decided to embrace (she’s great Clouds of Sils Maria and Laggies!), was recently visited by a teen.
By now, the great envelope disaster of 2017 has all but escaped our attentions, as the 24-hour news cycle has given us more things to be distracted, amused, and horrified by. Unless, of course, you’re Shirley MacLaine. If you’re Shirley MacLaine, you’re still trembling at the thought, which—because you can’t stop…
No doubt you have been inundated with information and analyses regarding last night’s Best Picture announcement flub. But what the hell, here’s another nugget! It seems that the confusion might have been exacerbated by the tension between presenters Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. You see, both wanted to announce the…
The wrong movie was given the Academy Award for Best Picture Sunday night. The error was discovered several minutes later, and the award quickly (and awkwardly) switched hands to the correct movie. This was not Warren Beatty’s fault. Nor was it Faye Dunaway’s fault. It wasn’t Matt Damon or Jimmy Kimmel’s fault. No,…
If you’re like me, you watch awards shows primarily for the fuck-ups and then in the off chance that great art will be recognized. Those two factors occurred simultaneously to make what was quite possibly the most shocking, thrilling, genuinely rewarding, and flat-out best moment in Oscars history. Warren Beatty and…
Cara Buckley’s New York Times profile of Warren Beatty, “Warren Beatty Wants Six Hours of Your Time. Or More.,” is over 1,700 words long, but fewer than 300 (about 16 percent) of those words are actually spoken by Beatty. The 79-year-old actor, who’s shilling his upcoming Howard Hughes movie, Rules Don’t Apply (“Stop…
Recently, 79-year-old Warren Beatty sat down with AARP Magazine and, in the course of the interview that followed, attempted to clarify something: He has not actually slept with 12,775 women. Imagine being 79 and still feeling obliged to deny such a figure! But then, the legend of Warren Beatty’s dick has a long…
Rules Don’t Apply, the Howard Hughes movie Academy Award-winning actor/director Warren Beatty has been trying to get “off the ground” for 40 (40!) years finally has a trailer. Apart from pretty shots of its many stars (like Lily Collins and Annette Bening), the trailer doesn’t exactly sell the movie as the kind of…
Carly Simon’s unveiled the mysterious source of her infamous song, “You’re So Vain”—well, a part of it. So who’s the jerk she’s singing about?
I bring this news to you as some one who formed a Madonna lip synch club in the 4th grade (personal solo: "Fever"). I believe Madonna is indeed an icon. I also believe that in a sincere but ultimately desperate quest for relevancy, Madonna is now throwing every pseudo-provocative soundbite she can in a drive to hype…
Anjelica Huston has excerpted parts of her forthcoming memoir, Watch Me, in the December 2014 issue of Vanity Fair, which chronicle her tumultuous, 16-year relationship with Jack Nicholson from 1973 to 1989. He was a notorious player, of course, but she found some sneaky (if depressing) ways to get even.
Sigh. Amanda Bynes' repeated insistence on only using her (technically crappy; see above) Twitter selfies comes from a dark place, it looks like. I know: You're totally shocked.
"How presumptuous! I never disclose who my songs are about."
Let's all climb into our time machines, get nice and cozy with something that won't spill and fry the very important mechanisms that make time machines work, and watch a blooper real from the Golden Globes of yesteryear, marveling at how, despite the frenetic and fickle nature of show business, Warren Beatty and…
The 2010 New York Film Critics Circle Awards, actually held in 2011, took place on a cold night. Which didn't stop Ruffalo and Firth from being hot, and Michelle Williams and Kerry Washington, seriously cool.
The 38th AFI Life Achievement Award at Culver City's Sony Pictures Studios honored legendary director, comedian (and, ahem, University of Chicago alum) Mike Nichols. Obviously, everyone came out to honor him: not just Beatty and Spielberg, but Portman, Parker, Cher...
