HOLLYWOOD ... Coming out this way to do some sightseeing?
It isn't all movies and TV studios and stars and their homes. Try some
small ethnic communities. There's Chinatown, and Little Tokyo, and
Koreatown. All with many restaurants featuring food of their countries
and shops laden with goods also native to their countries. Then there is
Olvera Street downtown, where the city was founded. Shops and shops
laden with everything imaginable from shoes to candles. Add strolling
Latinos singing and playing Mexican music, and you just might see a
celeb out sightseeing -- just like any other tourist.
Nicolas Cage is an excellent actor. Strangely, he's a very uninteresting
interview. On "The Late Show" with David Letterman he didn't talk about
owning a home in the old New Orleans Garden District and all the other
actors living there, or the goings-on and the restaurants and the
gorgeous food. He did mention his uncle, the great Francis Coppola.
Aside to Penelope R. of Atlanta: You ask what Lake Bell is doing. Good
question. I know she co-stars in the adult TV comedy "Childrens
Hospital," but not much beyond that. She moved from the building in
which I live a couple of years ago.
Of all the trophies -- Oscar, Emmy and etc. -- the Screen Actors Guild
award is the most beautiful. A gorgeous gold male figure, holding the
Mask of Comedy in one hand, Tragedy in the other. The event isn't until
late fall, but already votes are being taken.
Sela Ward has joined the cast of "CSI: New York." She will play an
international investigator in from Washington. And longtime star Melina
Kanakaredes is exiting the show. Try that name in your spelling bee.
At the risk of being called Madam Scrooge, I'm on a rampage. I'm sick of
hair. On every show and everywhere in the business it's long, straight
and parted in the middle, looking like it has been on an ironing board,
and used as a shawl with the little-nothing dress. Someone said to me,
"What do you want, the old short crinkle cut?"
It's kind of "chic." Going to jail. When you consider the ladies who
have been there. Zsa Zsa, Paris, Martha and now Lindsay.
Michael Moore is busy, busy, busy. One of his films will be "Focus,"
said to be a lesbian family dramedy, whatever that is, and the other is
still under wraps. |
