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.
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.
