Harrison Ford is 82 years old. But that does not mean that he is too old to experience the ramifications of childhood disease.
The actor who was supposed to be a presenter at the Oscars tomorrow was forced to drop out. According to Entertainment Weekly, he tested positive for shingles, which is caused by the dormant virus of chickenpox that stays in your system for the rest of your life after you get it.
It is sometimes brought on by stress. So I blame the SAG Awards and Jessica Williams for making him feel guilty because he was caught eating a cookie live on the air. What else could he be stressing about?
The Academy wasted no time in announcing that Mark Hamill will fill in for his old buddy. Once again, Luke Skywalker has to save the day because of Han Solo.
I have not seen the last three Star Wars movies and I don’t remember the fourth, fifth, and sixth episodes. So, I am just assuming that he had to do that.
And I also have never had chickenpox, but I am vaccinated. Because I never had that pox on my body. I have been itchy with each letter I typed in this post. It is purely psychological, but it is what it is every time I hear the words chickenpox and shingles.
Finally, I hope the force is strong with Ford, and he is better soon and that he doesn’t experience the pain of shingles.
Benson Boone singing his hit Beautiful Things and dancing to it in such a tight (so tight he had to adjust himself) baby blue jumpsuit was the talk of the Grammys.
The talk was all over the place, and it got back to Mark Zuckerberg. So, he decided to surprise his wife at her 40th birthday by wearing the same open chested jumpsuit.
Much to her delight, but not to my eyes. It’s a good thing he has money.
Millie Bobby Brown walked the premiere of her Netflix movie, The Electric Slate, in Madrid.
The 21-year-old actress looks like a 50-year-old Real Housewife in that poor-fitting beaded sheer grey Armani gown that was also worn by Gwyneth Paltrow in 1998, six years before the Stranger Things star was born.
Now that Brown is married to Jake Bongiovi, Andy Cohen should recruit her for one of his Bravo Real Housewives shows because she looks the part.
Taraji P. Henson walked the white carpet at Essence’s Black Women in Hollywood event yesterday, and she made that floor red hot.
The actress wore just a sky blue Prabal Gurung blazer that showed off her toned legs, and I can’t believe that she is 54. Because, Benjamin Button she is aging backwards.
Today, the winners of the 45th annual Razzies were announced, and Francis Ford Coppola took home the $4.97 trophy for Worst Director for his work on Megalopolis.
The Oscar-winning Director wrote his acceptance speech online:
I am thrilled to accept the Razzie award in so many important categories for @megalopolisfilm , and for the distinctive honor of being nominated as the worst director, worst screenplay, and worst picture at a time when so few have the courage to go against the prevailing trends of contemporary moviemaking!
In this wreck of a world today, where ART is given scores as if it were professional wrestling, I chose to NOT follow the gutless rules laid down by an industry so terrified of risk that despite the enormous pool of young talent at its disposal, may not create pictures that will be relevant and alive 50 years from now.
What an honor to stand alongside a great and courageous filmmaker like Jacques Tati who impoverished himself completely to make one of cinema’s most beloved failures, PLAYTIME! My sincere thanks to all my brilliant colleagues who joined me to make our work of art, MEGALOPOLIS, and let us remind ourselves us that box-office is only about money, and like war, stupidity and politics has no true place in our future.
Just because we are talking about The Godfather 50+ years later does not mean we will talk about all of his other movies, like Megalopolis, in half a century. The last good movie he did was Peggy Sue Got Married in 1986. And he has made 10 movies since then that we don’t talk about, and the oldest one is 37 years old.
Now, I am going to say something hugely unpopular, but I don’t think The Godfather holds up. It was good for its time. But not as much now.
Talking about now. I did not vote for him as Worst Director. I voted for Todd Phillips for Joker: Folie a Deux. I regret my vote, I should’ve voted for whiny little bitch.
