Before Ron Livingston starred in Office Space, he was invading Dolly Parton’s personal space in Straight Talk. How naughty and cute was the 24-year-old making his debut in that 1992 film?
To hear him talk about his first acting role, listen to him straight talk about it on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen yesterday.
Back in 2012, Katie Couric was on Watch What Happens Live and she told Andy Cohen that Matt Lauer used to pinch her butt. Since then, the disgraced anchor has been accused of sexual misconduct by several employees and was fired from his job. When that news broke, people found that old quote from Couric and assumed it was true.
Yesterday when she was on the Bravo show, she said that it was a joke. She also says that she regrets making that joke. Do you think she was telling the truth then or now?
In case you have been hiding under a rock, then you might not have known that a Crock-Pot killed Jack on This Is Us. Yesterday, when he was on Watch What Happens Live, an audience member wanted to know, “Since the slow cooker incident, are you brave enough to use one?”
His TV death did not scare him away from slow cooking. He has a slow cooker and a Crock-Pot at home and uses it all the time. He likes to make Lentil soup and vegetables with it. Although, he did not mention the show killer’s dish chili.
Then Andy Cohen wanted to know if he would run from a slow cooker and the actor said he would run towards one. Which exactly what Jack did, but that story did not have a happy ending.
We also learned in that post-show Q&A that Ricky Martin is a member of the mile high club. I can totally see that he bangs, he bangs, someone one in a private plane’s bathroom! Surprisingly, he did not get all flush when he admitted that!
Now that The Americans is ending, Keri Russell has a lot of free time on her hands. Which can make the 20th anniversary of Felicity even more special than just a reunion at a festival.
Yesterday, when she was on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, a caller wanted to know if we could get a revival of the college drama? Then her boyfriend Matthew Rhys chimed in, “Tell them about the feature film you are not supposed to talk about.” All she did is confirm that they are going to have a reunion at a festival and “that’s it.” But it seemed like there was more to that “that’s it” than a just a that’s it. Don’t you think?
I would think that the biggest problem of getting a Felicity revival in the works; is not a bad haircut, but J.J. Abrams busy schedule. By the time he is free to do one, it will be the show’s 30th anniversary.
Do you want the see the Felicity cast at the 20th reunion or are you happy the way it ended? I am still pissed about that haircut, so I think you know my answer.
Did you know that Vin Diesel was not the original choice for Dominic Toretto in The Fast and the Furious? Originally, they wanted Timothy Olyphant to play the lead role, but he turned it down.
Yesterday, when he was on Watch What Happens Live, a caller wanted to know if he regretted turning down the part. But first Andy Cohen wanted to know why he decided not to do the movie. The actor said, “I just thought well this will just be stupid.” Then he added, “And I thought that no one is going to want to see this movie eight or nine different times. I mean by the third or fourth sequel people are definitely going to get bored of it.” As we know, he was wrong because they have released eight movies with a spinoff and ninth movie in the works. Hey, we all make mistakes, just some make much costlier mistake.
Talking about turning down roles, did you know Drew Barrymore, Olyphant’s Santa Clarita costar, turned down Showgirls. Although she claims it was a mutual decision between her and the director Paul Verhoeven. That turned out to be a smart decision on her part.
The best part of them turning down those movies, is we get to watch them Santa Clarita Diet that starts streaming its second season tonight on Netflix.
