I am so disgusted with the comments about Renee Zellweger’s appearance at an event earlier this week. Everyone online seemed to have something to say about the actress’ new look, which may — or may not — have been because of extensive plastic surgery. We have a diseased society of people who puff themselves up by mocking others. My chest … Read more

Yesterday, I hopped a subway down to SoHo for a one-on-one interview with Academy-Award-winning documentarian Errol Morris. I have interviewed gobs of A-list celebrities, but this was a career highlight and an honor.

Dylan Farrow’s brothers made comments about her allegations about Woody Allen: Ronan tweets in support of her claims but Moses Farrow defends Allen and supports the claim that their mother brainwashed the children.

I see now that this was a vengeful way to pay him back for falling in love with Soon-Yi.”

Hudgens plays Agnes (“Apple”) Bailey, a desperate pregnant teenager who runs away from a cruel drug-addicted mother played by Rosario Dawson. She tries to connect to her wealthy dad, played by Brendan Fraser. Things keep looking bleaker until she meets Frank McCarthy (James Earl Jones), a priest.

Rosario Dawson walked into the Waldorf Astoria looking nothing like the violent drug addict she plays in “Gimme Shelter.” Dawson’s smooth skin glowed under only a touch of makeup. The actress’s almond eyes sported a hint of smoky-blue eye shadow. When I told Dawson she looked beautiful, she laughed and said, “Why? Because I brushed my teeth?” Dawson was referring to her character’s brown, rotted teeth.

Jordan Belfort, who Leonardo plays, wrote the book the movie is based on so it’s from his perspective. It describes debaucherous and excessive behavior. I can imagine that other people might not want to be portrayed. They were criminals. They swindled innocent people out of their money and many never paid for their crimes.
