Back in 2009, there was a horrible hoax that Jeff Goldblum had died falling off of a cliff in New Zealand. The hoax was so real that the television news in Australia reported on it. He then went on The Colbert Report to confirm that he was still alive.
Between the time that (the actual) fake news came out and he went on Colbert, a Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen viewer wanted to know if anyone believed that he was no longer with us. The actor told us that his own mom called him to see if he was OK. His poor mom was so nervous that her son was dead and that is so messed up. Not only her, but his friend left a message while crying to find out if it was true.
Thus, the next time someone wants to send out one of the fake death reports, think of the celebrity’s family and friends. And depending on the celebrity, think of everyone for a second who will get some joy out of it and that crushing moment when they find out that person is still alive. That is the worst.
Yesterday on Watch What Happens Live, a caller wanted to know from Jay Pharoah and Bill Hader who was the worst guest that they ever worked with on Saturday Night Live. They both did not waste their time to tell Andy Cohen that is Justin Bieber. Hader says that he thinks that singer “was in a bad place” back then and it was “rough”. I guess he will not be back on the show anytime soon.
Pharoh also revealed something he saw Kanye West do when he performed on the show. He said he watched Mr Kim Kardashian yank someone and put them in their place. Ouch!
And there you have it, an answer that was pretty obvious.
I don’t know about you, but I had that rumor about Rod Stewart. The one where he had to get his stomach pumped because he had too much man juice in his belly. Yesterday, when he was on Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked him if that rumor bothered him.
Before he could answer, Cyndi Lauper asked him what rumor? That is when he revealed it was his mean publicist who was the one that started it and Stewart fired him over it.
For you youngsters and people like Lauper who don’t know what the rumor is, he told everyone what it was. He said the rumor was, “That I was ??? by 12 sailors, and I had to be taken to San Fransisco hospital and have me tummy pumped to get all the semen out.” That is a lot of seamen’s semen.
On a different note, Stewart was also asked about Elton John’s retirement tour. The sexy singer told Cohen, “It stinks of selling tickets.” When Andy brought up Cher’s retirement tours, Lauper said that she really did want to retire and then realized what a mistake she made. When it comes to how Rod will do it, he says he will just fade away. Something I hope he never does. I have seen him a few times and he always puts on great show! And not just for all of the sailors in the audience.
Burt Reynolds continued his media tour for The Last Movie Star on Watch What Happens Live yesterday and he continued to shock us all. For the after show, someone asked him what was the weirdest piece of fan mail he got after he did a naked centerfold for Cosmo.
He revealed, “I was sent pubic hair…and it was very nice.” What did he do with his present that came wrapped in wax paper? He says, “I have it on my wall.” That has to be a conversation piece.
And talking about conversation pieces, Andy Cohen asked him about several of the roles he turned down throughout his career. The first role they talked about was Michael Corleone in The Godfather. Marlon Brando threatened to quit if he got the part that went to Al Pacino. Next up, he turned down James Bond because he did not think an American should play the spy. He regrets that stance. Did you know he was offered Richard Gere’s part in Pretty Woman? How does he feel about turning that one down? He simply said, “I am an idiot.”
The next role he was willing to kill for, but he could not out drink it or out smoke Jack Nicholson. Therefore, Jack remained the star of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Jack also got another Oscar for a role that Burt does not remember turning down and that was Terms of Endearment.
It gets worse, imagine him as Han Solo. He turned that one down because he does not like Science Fiction movies. Let’s be honest it would have been too much mustache gorgeousness if both Billy Dee Williams and him were in the film.
And then there was one more. One that made Angela Bassete say, “Stop!” Then she added, “It’s amazing he had a career.” That movie was Die Hard. Although, he does not remember turning that role.
Burt some good choices in career and made a lot of stupid ones too. See all of the above.
Maury Povich and Connie Chung were on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen yesterday and they still act like newlyweds. Not that they are all lovey dovey, but after 33 years of marriage they still play around with each other. They answered questions about themselves and their careers in the post show.
Did you know that Chung had an exclusive interview with Richard Nixon during the height of Watergate and all he told her is to get more money from her job? Talking about Presidents what would she ask the current one if given the chance? She wants to know, “Has he ever seen a shrink?” That is something we all want to know.
But they also talked about their annoying habits. He hates that she always late and reads the newspaper in bed late at night when he is trying to sleep. She hates his boisterous voice and that he constantly interrupts her. Which he proved to do several times when she was answering questions. There is also another sneaky thing that Chung does that bothers her husband. She is not a smoker who buys cigarettes, but she smokes. How then? She has suppliers in the building who give her doorman a cig and he brings it up to her apartment. Which is awkward when the visiting doormen fill in. Anyways, she will light up in the bathroom and her husband always knows.
And yet after being married for a third of the century, they take the good with the bad. He does not even mind that she waited 10 years to put his name on the lease.
As we near Valentine’s Day, if you needed proof that true love still exists, here it is right in front of you! #RelationshipGoals
