Before I saw the photo ID, I saw the photos and I was like ?that guy looks vaguely familiar, sort of like a weird funhouse-mirror version of Nicolas Cage.? Yeah. It?s Nicolas Cage. Nick attended the LA premiere of Running With the Devil, which Cage stars in. I just watched the trailer for it and? it actually doesn?t seem like a completely terrible movie? What gives?? It?s about drug running, from the fields to the streets, and Cage plays a middleman. It looks like a straight-up ensemble, sort of like Traffic.
Anyway, this is how Nick Cage looks now. It?s fine. I?m actually sort of happy for him that he?s at this stage of his life and his career where he?s like ?fk it, I?m just growing out my greying beard and I don?t give a sh-t anymore.? It feels like a healthy choice for him. He was also at the premiere with his son Weston Coppola Cage. Weston really takes after Nick, right?
Cage was also recently in Toronto for the TIFF premiere of Color Out of Space, his latest sci-fi/horror/something. It actually got great reviews? As the NY Post notes, Cage seems to be having a moment this year. It was just last month that Cage gave that absolutely bonkers interview to the NY Times too. Who knew that 2019 would be The Year of Cage??

It?s not that I deeply care about all of these old stories regarding Jeffrey Epstein and the Duke of York. I think it?s been well-established already that Prince Andrew?s association with Epstein was always a huge problem, and that Andrew participated in similar crimes. The questions I have are about how many crimes did Andrew commit with Epstein and all of those underage, unconsenting trafficked girls. The questions I have are about what?s happening now with the criminal case and all of the civil cases, and whether Andrew will be deposed in any of the lawsuits, or whether he?ll give testimony (or even be charged) in the criminal case.
But for now, let?s just keep reminding everyone that the Duke of York and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson were deeply and intimately involved with Epstein. In 2011, Epstein gave Fergie about $20K, either as a gift or a loan. That came out at the time, and it was years after everyone knew that Epstein had trafficked and abused girls for years. Fergie apologized publicly but never confirmed if she gave the money back. As part of her apology, she called Epstein a pedophile (which he was). And for that, Epstein wanted to? sue Fergie? Look, if she can?t take a pedophile?s money and still call him a pedophile, what?s the point?
The Duchess of York was threatened with legal action by disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein after she publicly called him a paedophile, it has been claimed. Sarah Ferguson made the statement in a 2011 interview after it emerged she had accepted 15,000 from her ex-husbands former friend to help clear a personal debt. Epstein had given the money to one of Fergies assistants at the request of Prince Andrew. But the payment, which came after Epsteins release from prison over child sex offences, caused a furore when it became public.
The duchess subsequently accepted she had made a gigantic error of judgement and offered a heartfelt apology. Speaking to the Evening Standard she said: I deeply regret Jeffrey Epstein became involved in any way with me. I abhor paedophilia and any sexual abuse of children and know that this was a gigantic error of judgment on my behalf. I am just so contrite I cannot say. Whenever I can I will repay the money and will have nothing ever to do with Jeffrey Epstein ever again. What he did was wrong and for which he was rightly jailed.
According to sources, Epstein ? clearly in denial about the scale of his crimes ? was incensed by her suggestion he was a paedophile. The billionaire was convicted in 2008 of procuring an under-age girl for prostitution and served 13 months in jail. In 2011 it is understood Epstein hired an unnamed firm of lawyers to sue the duchess, unless she retracted her media statement. At the same time he took on the services of crisis management PR firm Sitrick & Co to deal with the scandal over his friendship with Andrew, who was infamously photographed with the shamed billionaire following his release from prison.
The firm, which confirms it provided consulting advice and public relations services concerning Epsteins relationship with Prince Andrew, advised him how to handle the media storm. As a result of the outcry, the Queens son was forced to publicly apologise and lost his job as a roving UK trade ambassador. In 2014 Sitrick sued Epstein for 65,000 in unpaid fees relating to their services. In recently re-surfaced court papers, which meticulously chart what the PR firm did on Epsteins behalf, it includes a reference on March 15, 2011 to work on statement for Fergie. Two days later, on March 17, 2011, it adds revise suggested statement for Fergie.
A source close to the duchess said yesterday that the for Fergie reference relates to a statement drafted for Epstein which he was trying to get her to release. The source added: Epstein tried to force the duchess to release a statement retracting her suggestion that he was a paedophile which he had drafted by his PR firm. Epstein was very unpleasant and very aggressive. She stuck to her guns despite the pressure being put on her and refused to comply. Eventually Epstein halted his threat of legal action.

?She stuck to her guns despite the pressure being put on her and refused to comply?? So brave, Fergie. She stuck to her guns, kept the $20K AND called him a pedophile. Where?s her Nobel Prize?? Not to mention, Fergie has been happily doing the most to cover up for Andrew for years, and even now, she wants the conversation to be ?are Andrew and Fergie getting back together?? Rather than ?why did Andrew get Jeffrey Epstein to give money to his ex-wife?? Or ?how many trafficked girls did Andrew abuse??

| | Adrien Brody & Georgina Chapman just started dating, and it makes sense? | | Added 5 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

I was trying to do a bit of research to see if Adrien Brody had ever worked with Harvey Weinstein and I ended up rediscovering Brody?s comments about Woody Allen and Roman Polanski. Brody has worked with both Polanski and Allen, and in 2016 (pre-Me Too), he made the argument that an artist?s private life should be separate from their work (even if they commit crimes in their ?private life?) and Brody said ?people make mistakes in livesI don?t even read about these things, to be honest. I choose not to indulge this kind of fodderpeople have done things in their lives that may be inexcusable, but it?s not something to focus on.?
So now I don?t even care if he worked with Weinstein. I?m sure Brody did at some point, and I found photos of Brody posing with Weinstein at various events over the years. And so now, Adrien Brody is probably dating Harvey?s ex-wife, Georgina Chapman.
Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein?s British ex-wife has found love with another Hollywood star Oscar winner Adrien Brody. Designer Georgina Chapman is dating the acclaimed actor and Weinstein?s former friend after being set-up by supermodel Helena Christensen, the Sun on Sunday can reveal.
Two years after announcing she was divorcing the 67-year-old producer who has been accused of harassment and assault by over 80 women the mum-of-two has found happiness. News of her relationship comes on the eve of Weinstein?s controversial trial.
A friend said: ?Georgina and Adrien obviously initially met through Harvey, but met again properly in April. Helena had invited them both to her swimwear launch in Puerto Rico, and they bonded over cocktails against a backdrop of various beautiful beaches. They stayed in touch when Georgina returned to London, and then arranged to go on a few low-key dates. Obviously it?s still quite a new thing, but Adrien is smitten and Georgina is the happiest she?s been in ages. She has had a torrid past couple of years, and finally feels ready to move on with her life. Her kids and family are all aware, and everyone whole-heartedly approves.?
[From The Sun]
I think they?re a weird couple, but whatever. Brody had a long-time girlfriend, Lara Lieto, but I think they broke up a year or two ago. He always seemed to like to date very young women, like women in the Leo DiCaprio Girlfriend Program, no one above the age of 25. Georgina is 43. So? I don?t know. It?s all kind of gross to me. After everyone went on and on about how Chapman shouldn?t be blamed for Weinstein?s crimes, I still felt like? well, she knew that he was forcing actresses to wear Marchesa. And once you start unraveling that, it just feels like? maybe Chapman?s comeback is kind of bullst. And I don?t even care who she?s dating? But the fact that she?s dating a sexual-predator-apologist makes perfect fking sense.

Friends? 20th Anniversary means fun gifts for fans: There?s the pop-up exhibit currently running in New York (through October 9). Several of the shows most popular episodes are playing in theaters (September 23, September 28, and October 2). And Pottery Barn is offering its Friends 25th Anniversary Collection (not an ad) for everyone who wants to imagine that they live in some of the most famous rent-controlled apartments in New York City. One wish that many fans have had over the years is for a reunion, and it?s always been nixed by members of the cast. Lisa Kudrow is the latest Friend to tell fans not to get their hopes up:
Given the immense popularity of Friends, the shows stars have been asked numerous times over the years about a potential reboot or revival. The latest to weigh in was Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe. She said on Kevin Nealons hiking show that she would be interested in coming back for a new version of Friends, but it wont happen.
If everyone else was doing it, I would do it; yeah. But its not happening, she said, adding that shes heard [creators Marta] Kauffman and [David] Crane talk about how Friends will never come back.
In March this year, Kauffman talked about why bringing back Friends is a bad idea.
One, the show is about a time in your life when your friends are your family. Its not that time anymore. All wed be doing is putting those six actors back together, but the heart of the show would be gone, she told Rolling Stone. Two, I dont know what good it does us. The show is doing just fine, people love it. [A reunion] could only disappoint.
[From GameSpot]
I went looking in the archives because I could have sworn I read somewhere that Lisa was one of the people who wasnt ever interested in a reunion. She basically said the same of Marta and David back in 2009, though she also wasnt sure about it then. Everything that Marta said makes sense: The show was about people who were in a particular stage of their lives, and they aren?t there anymore. A reboot would disappoint. Plus, fans can still imagine that the 6 Friends and their children are all still hanging out together. (Joey has obviously come home from California.)
I understand why fans who enjoyed the show would like to see it brought back, especially in our currently chaotic times. The show took place in an alternate reality in which the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, didn?t happen. The Season 8 premiere was dedicated to The people of New York City (and Joey and Chandlers Magna Doodle featured several relevant doodles). It would be nice for the show to take place in a world where Trump wasn?t president, for example. But, it?s probably better for Friends to stay in the past, and for people to binge the series on Netflix (through the end of the year), or with their DVDs.
