She’s having a ‘Sunday’ funday
Brit drama “Mothering Sunday” coming soon.
Odessa Young and Josh O’Connor star. Crateloads of humans may not know them but they’re billed above Colin Firth, Olivia Colman, Glenda Jackson.
Odessa: “We’re there with the legends. We were the weak links!”
Lots of nudity. Odessa trots around naked. “Longer love scenes than I’ve shot before and doesn’t feel tender when you’re doing it. We cracked jokes while we were buck naked. Helped. It lightened the mood. Between takes Glenda Jackson and I smoked cigarettes out back. Even seasoned actors still wonder at the strangeness of our jobs.”
Josh: “Although I play a royal in ‘The Crown,’ I don’t figure any of them will watch this.”
London Bridge and Epstein’s chum Prince Andrew might have to fall down first.
Ladies’ movie night
Eleanor Coppola’s a filmmaker. Husband Francis Ford Coppola who knocked off itsies like “The Godfather” is also a little filmmaker. Eleanor’s movies are smaller. Her next “Love Is Love Is Love” is three short stories with Rosanna Arquette, Cybill Shepherd, Rita Wilson. It’s old broads telling about old broads.
Eleanor: “Few stories about older women get to the screen. My movie speaks to them.”
Go. Bring your grandma.
Stars run their lines
I got sent all these lines. To get rid of them I’m reprinting them for you:
Chris Rock: “There’s no rehab for stupidity” . . . George Carlin: “Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn’t mean the circus left town” . . . Jim Carrey: “Big difference between a dog that’s going to eat you in your mind and an actual dog that’s going to eat you” . . . Amy Poehler: “Grow older you’re less flexible. I hurt my knee on the treadmill, and it wasn’t even on” . . . Chelsea Handler: “Laugh loudly, often, and most importantly, laugh at yourself.”
Kevin Hart: “People hate you for being different, but wish they had courage to do the same” . . . Lily Tomlin: “If you win the rat race, you’re still a rat” . . . Jerry Seinfeld: “A bookstore is the only physical evidence that people are still thinking” . . . Charles Schulz: “Forget the world’s coming to an end today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia” . . . Whoopi: “Normal’s only a cycle on a washing machine.”
Going head to foe
Hell hath no fury like an unemployed politician. Chris Christie. Former New Jersey governor. Former president tryout. Former DJT pal. Now running — or walking quickly — for president again. Against a former president who might again run and become a former friend. Again.
Donald’s election night. His Trump Tower office, 10 p.m. Donald standing mid-room staring at wall TVs. Alone. Family, staff, workers behind. The lone body standing with him — me. Alone, several feet in front of us — his devoted friend Chris Christie.
Praying for Pope
Documentary “Francesco” made a papal round. Director Evgeny Afineevsky who had access says: “I wanted to show the opposite of humanity, real hope and optimism.” Hey, the Pope may be going to the Oscars.
So this church marquee bore this legend: “You think it’s hot here?”
Only in New York, kids, only in New York.
