The BFI London Film Festival has been humming along for the past week. There have been some good premieres, but weirdly, most of the premiere fashion has kind of sucked. This is my justification for not covering most of the premieres, my bad. But these days, you can always count on Amal Clooney to bring some showgirl glamour. Amal?s showgirl aesthetic predates Taylor Swift?s by a good eight years, in fact. In any case, here are some photos from the big Jay Kelly premiere at the BFI LFF. I?m also including photos of Noah Baumbach (the writer-director) and Greta Gerwig, who wore an incredibly unfortunate suit. Sidenote: it?s very funny to see this film making the rounds at film festivals, because it looks like the dreck that came out of a dying studio with six screenwriters. They?re seriously pushing George for Best Actor, I guess. I predict a Golden Globe nomination and nothing else.
As for Amal?s showgirl look, this is Tamara Ralph Couture. Amal surprisingly loves pinks, and while this paler Pink doesn?t look bad on her, she definitely looks better in a more saturated color. I?m not crazy about the tiered skirt, but that?s not specific to this look (I just don?t like tiered skirts). I also feel sorry for tall women they should be able to wear feathers without anyone making a Big Bird comment. But yeah, the feathers are very Big Bird. Also: Amal recently took eight inches off her hair (according to Vogue). It looks SO MUCH healthier.
Meanwhile, George recently confirmed that everyone is on board for Ocean?s 14, the fourth film in a franchise which most people forgot about. Back in the day, I liked Ocean?s 11. I remember thinking Ocean?s 12 had a terrible script, and I remember very little of Ocean?s 13. Well, George claims that Julia Roberts, Matt Damon and Don Cheadle are all on board for the fourth film, and that they have a ?great? script. He also said: ?We just got the budget approved at Warner Bros. and we?re trying to set up. It?s just scheduling, so it?s just setting a start date for us. Probably start in about nine or 10 months, shooting.? Oh, good. Brad Pitt the (credibly accused) domestic abuser, back together with George Clooney the ratfker.
PS? Someone pointed out that George has been wearing lifts these days and now I can?t unsee it.

This comes as a huge shock to me: Diane Keaton has passed away at the age of 79. It feels so shocking because Diane was one of the most vivacious and upbeat celebrities out there an optimistic oddball, in the best way. She won the Best Actress Oscar for Annie Hall in 1977. I know Woody Allen is thoroughly canceled and everything, but she was great in Annie Hall. She also received Oscar nominations for Reds, Marvin?s Room and Something?s Got to Give (one of my favorite performances from her). She also played Kay in the Godfather trilogy (iconic). Baby Boom is probably my favorite Diane Keaton film she?s just perfect in it, sassy, neurotic and funny, but she also brought so much sweetness to the movie. Diane was survived by her two children.
Diane Keaton has died. She was 79. PEOPLE can confirm the legendary actress died in California. There are no further details available at this time, and her family has asked for privacy in this moment of great sadness, a spokesperson tells PEOPLE.
Keaton rose to fame in the 1970s thanks to her role in The Godfather films and her collaborations with director Woody Allen. She won an Oscar for Best Actress for 1977?s Annie Hall. Her long career included movies like The First Wives Club, multiple collaborations with director Nancy Meyers and the Book Club franchise.
The actress was born in Los Angeles in 1946 as Diane Hall, and was the oldest of four children. Her father was a civil engineer, while her mom stayed at home. Still, Keaton thought her mother dreamed of something bigger. Secretly in her heart of hearts she probably wanted to be an entertainer of some kind, the actress told PEOPLE in 2004. She sang. She played the piano. She was beautiful. She was my advocate.?
Keaton never married. ?Today I was thinking, Im the only one in my generation of actresses who has been a single woman all her life,? she explained to PEOPLE in 2019. ?Im really glad I didnt get married. Im an oddball. I remember in high school, this guy came up to me and said, ?One day youre going to make a good wife.? And I thought, ?I dont want to be a wife. No.??
She was romantically linked to Woody Allen, Al Pacino and Warren Beatty throughout her life. Talent is so damn attractive, she noted to PEOPLE.
Keaton had two children, daughter Dexter and son Duke, whom she adopted in 1996 and 2001, respectively. Motherhood was not an urge I couldnt resist, it was more like a thought Id been thinking for a very long time. So I plunged in,? she told Ladies Home Journal in 2008. Keaton is survived by her children.
[From People]
I?m glad her kids are adults, and we?re thinking about them during this difficult time. She was right she was the only major actress out of her generation to never marry. She never made a big deal about it, and it was pretty genuine she really didn?t want to be anyone?s wife. Bless her.

Have you ever watched Broadcast News? The James L. Brooks film came out in 1987 and largely predicted the decline in quality of broadcast journalism in America. It starred Holly Hunter, Albert Brooks and William Hurt. Hurt played Tom, the handsome newscaster who was not intelligent enough to really be the anchor of a national news broadcast, but he looks the part and he?s good at playing to the cameras. Holly plays Jane, the hard-edged news producer who falls in love with Tom. Part of the plot hinges on Tom doing a one-on-one interview with a rape survivor, which airs as a segment on the nightly news. During the interview, as the rape survivor describes the ordeal, there?s a cutaway to Tom as his eyes well up with tears. Jane thinks the segment is good, but Albert Brooks? Aaron realizes what happened Tom was only given one camera for the interview, and he made himself cry and then spliced in the reaction, which is extremely unethical journalism.
I bring up one of my favorite Holly Hunter movies because Prince William went to speak to a Welsh widow whose husband died by suicide. William brought a camera crew with him, and I definitely want to know how many cameras were there, because William was also caught on camera, tearing up as he spoke to Rhian Mannings. The video of William?s interview was published on KensingtonRoyal?s social media and William & Kate?s YouTube channel:
It was possibly a three-camera set-up. One camera for the wide shot of William and Rhian at the table, one camera on Rhian?s closeup and one camera on William?s closeup. Or it could be something else entirely. If KP has the money and personnel for a three-camera set up, just to make their in-house YouTube videos, that?s a stand-alone scandal in my book. What I do know is that William?s tears, however sincere or not, do not make up for his actual words and deeds in the past decade. From calling his mother paranoid, to assaulting his brother, to bullying, smearing and abusing his sister-in-law until she was suicidal, William has zero authenticity or credibility here. It reads as performative because of everything we already know about William. It also reads as performative because royalists are gleefully using the video as evidence for William?s preparations for his reign. From the NY Times:
At a time when the British royal family has been convulsed by drama, infighting and a tendency by some royals to over-share, Prince William has remained largely aloof ? loath to reveal the kinds of details found in ?Spare,? the memoir by his estranged brother, Prince Harry.
Yet William, too, has lifted the veil in recent weeks, in his own carefully managed way. Appearing with the Canadian comic actor Eugene Levy on an episode of his travel series, and later with a woman who lost her husband to suicide, William has shown a more personal side, speaking about his desire to change the monarchy after he becomes king and tearing up over another family?s tragedy.
The exercise in image making has taken on more urgency since his father was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in early 2024. While Buckingham Palace insists that Charles, 76, is on the mend, the prospect of William having to step up to the throne no longer seems so distant.
?He?s on fast forward,? said Tina Brown, the British American journalist who has written two books about the royal family. ?His father had 50 years to tell the world who he was before becoming king. It?s essential for William to show the human side of himself before his image gets set in stone as the stoic foil to Harry.?
In a video released Friday to coincide with World Mental Health Day, William met with Rhian Mannings, who lost a baby to illness and her husband to suicide. As the two sat at Ms. Mannings?s kitchen table in Cardiff, Wales, William asked her what she would say to her husband, if she could.
?I would just like to sit him down like this and say, ?Why didn?t you come to me??? she replied. ?Because he?s missed out on just so much joy.?
William looked away, his eyes brimming with tears.
?Are you OK?? Ms. Mannings asked.
Struggling to compose himself, William said, ?I?m sorry; it?s hard to ask you the questions.?
It was a startling display of emotion ? not least in contrast to the stiff-upper-lip stoicism of older-generation royals like Queen Elizabeth II ? though it recalled the emotional encounters his mother, Princess Diana, had with people with AIDS in the 1990s. William?s focus on suicide prevention echoed his mother?s desire to destigmatize AIDS.
[From The NY Times]
?The exercise in image making? Jesus. Am I alone in finding this incredibly exploitative? I?m sure Rhian Mannings simply wants her story out there, with the hope that more people will be willing to talk to loved ones and reach out to people when they?re at their lowest point. But for William to rather ruthlessly exploit her family?s tragedy as part of his really obvious and plodding image rebrand is pretty ghoulish, even for William.
