A few weeks ago, when Patti LuPone was on Watch What Happens Live, she talked about the fateful night she had with Andrew Rannells, Jon Hamm, and her sworn enemy Glenn Close.
The two legendary actresses do not get along because LuPone was slated to play the lead in Sunset Boulevard, but they gave the role to Glenn Close instead. Needless to say, since then Lupone has not been a fan of Close’s.
So what happened when the two ladies got close to each other on a night out in Manhattan. According to LuPone, she warned her friend Jon Hamm that he better not f*ck her.
That was towards the end of that night, a night we all wish we could have been a fly on the wall. While we were not, Rannells was. Yesterday, when he was on WWHL, he gave some more details to Andy Cohen about what happened inbetween their chance meeting until the threat.
He says the three of them were out at a restaurant, and they went to talk to some friends. When they got back to the booth, Close was sitting there all by herself. The three joined her and chatted for a while. Since both divas are ladies, they acted civilly towards each other. However, you could feel the tension between them.
He probably felt it because LuPone kept saying to him that Close better not try to f*ck Hamm or that she would lose it. No one lost anything that night, but Rannels had a night he will never forget.
I can’t wait to hear what Hamm has to say about it. He better ham it up for the cameras!
I also hope that some big Broadway producer casts LuPone and Close in a revival of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. Ryan Murphy would have the next Feud unfold before our very eyes.
Rita Moreno has had a legendary career. So legendary, she is one of the few people that is a member of the EGOT club. That means she has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. Which is enough to make us bow down to her.
However, there is more, she also had affairs with two legendary men Marlon Brando and Elvis Presley. The other night when she was on Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen wanted to know which sexy man a better kisser?
The actress had no problem admitting that Brando was Godfather of kissing. She reminisced that “He had ins and outs and nooks and crannies that were just incredible. Oh, what a kisser. What a kisser!”
When it comes to The King, she says he was very pretty, “very complete (?) and very boring.” Boring was probably a good thing as compared to Brando.
If Cohen would have asked her who was better with his hips, then I am sure Elvis would have been the reigning King on that one!
Goldie Hawn and Oliver Hudson were on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen the other night, and the son asked his mom who was her worst onscreen kiss. Before the actress could even answer, Hudson blurted out that it was Woody Allen.
After the actor said that, Hawn said she couldn’t even remember kissing him. That is when her son reminded her, “Remember? He’s like, he closes his mouth. And he’s like, I don’t like to do open-mouth kissing.”
Even after reminding his mom about it, she is asked him, “Are you making that up?” That is how bad their kiss; she blocked it out from her memory.
I guess you can say the play, Everybody Says I Love You, didn’t live up to its title for her.
Back in 1997, Leslie Jordan was sentenced to 120 days in prison for things he did not want to get into on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen yesterday.
When he got there, his lawyer told him to ask for the gay section. They told the actor that it is too tough for him, so they put him in the softy section. On the 10th day, the guards told him that they were letting him out the next day because they were giving Robert Downey, Jr. his bed.
The two men did not swap the bed in the cell, instead, they were in a holding area together. Sadly, they never talked. I wonder what they would say to each other now. Jordan owes him a huge thanks for getting him out of prison early.
The ’90s was a much different time for both actors.
Talking about much different, the Bravo host confused Jordan for another Leslie. That person was Leslie Jones because they look so much alike. Jordan is a short white man, and she is a tall black woman. I can see how he can confuse them.
Patti LuPone was on Watch What Happens Live yesterday and she was spilling the tea to Andy Cohen. The actress said that Barbra Streisand is 50 years too old to play Gypsy, the time she destroyed a dressing room when she got fired from a play in London, and what she thought of playing Madonna’s mother in Evita.
My favorite spilled tea is when she talked about how Glenn Close crashed her get together with Jon Hamm and Rannells. The three of them were having drinks in Manhattan when Close came over and sat next to the Mad Men star. After the Fatal Attraction star left, LuPone said to Hamm, “If you f*ck her, I will never speak to you again.” With that stern warning, he did not go home with her. Which is a good thing because who wants her rabbit soup.
Talking about vengeance, why is LuPone so hasty towards Close? My friend Michael gave me the deets. Close was starring as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and she was a huge hit. So much so, they asked her to do the role on Broadway. There was only one problem, LuPone was already offered the role. Therefore, LuPone found out she was fired in the papers, and because of that, she is not a fan of Close.
I think the two should kiss, makeup, and star in a Broadway rendition of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. I would pay a lot of money to see that pairing.
