 HOLLYWOOD
... Susan Sarandon and John Goodman are set to co-star with Al Pacino in
"Dr. Death." This about Dr. Jack Kevorkian. Known as "Dr. Death," he
assisted in more than 130 suicides. He sent a tape of himself assisting
in a suicide to "60 Minutes," and he was later convicted of
second-degree murder and spent eight years in prison. This should make
quite a film what with the talents of Pacino, Sarandon and Goodman. John
recently had a run on Broadway with Nathan Lane in "Waiting for Godot."
"Little" Dakota Fanning is now 15 and looking very grown up when she
appeared at a recent premiere. Her little sister Elle, 10, is fast on
her footsteps and also looking "kind of" grown up. Elle is currently
working on Sofia Coppola's new film "Somewhere," which also stars
Stephen Dorff. Both girls attend a private school in Los Angeles. And
no, I don't think they are dating yet.
Lindsay Lohan has formed a production company, and already several shows
are in the works. One is about the fashion world, and there's also a
dating game. However, I'll believe all this when I see them on the
screen. Whichever, or whatever, it's interesting to hear that Lindsay
seems to be settling down. And yes, she's changed the color of her hair
again. At this writing, it's gone from blonde to reddish brown.
Natalie Portman has been cast in "Thor," a film based on the comic book
about the God of Thunder. She plays Jane Foster, a nurse who became
Thor's first love. Chris Hemesworth plays Thor.
Aside to Bertha G. of San Diego. Yes, Kelly Ripa has children. Two.
Michael Joseph and Lola Grace. She is married to Mark Consuelos. One
little-known fact is that she has a 4-inch tattoo of a flower on the
inside of her left ankle. And yes, she and Regis get along just fine.
Interesting. Time was when all the girls had curly, frizzy hair like
Bernadette Peters. Now, it's usually long and very, very straight. It
always kind of tickles me, because I have always had very, very straight
hair and used to go to bed every night with it rolled in bobby pins to
make it curly for the next day. "Tempus doth fugit," and styles
constantly change.
Hollywoodites became so sated with the saga of Michael Jackson on the
tube that they started a game. First one to say "Michael" pays for the
dinner. It got to be tough in my family. My nephew's name is Michael, so
we took to calling him "Hey You."
