Three weeks ago Michael Douglas found out he has Stage 4 throat cancer and today he was on The Late Show with David Letterman talking about it. Listening to him talk about what he is going through with such bravery and optimism (which he needs to be) makes me have the utmost respect for him. I am sure that is a quality he learned from his father who hasn’t let a stroke stop him.
My prayers are with him that he makes it through this battle quickly.
Will Ferrell was on David Letterman last night and their chat ended with the two of them in bed together. The Old School actor told him that he is going to take over for Catherine Zeta-Jones in A Little Night Music and sang him the signature song Send in the Clowns from the Broadway musical. Well the song turned into a lullaby for the gap toothed host because he joined the curly haired Anchorman in the bed. I would think they would have something to tell us, but since Ferrell wasn’t one of his interns nor did he work for him, he is not his type.
Bill Murray was on the Late Show with David Letterman yesterday and he dived into a dumpster pool. I don’t know about you, but there is no way in hell you could get me to do what he did. I don’t care if that dumpster was bleached, detoxed, blue tarped, chlorinated and got the seal of approval it was safe, I grew up in NYC and you don’t know where it has been, what and who has been in it and why and how that dumpster was chosen so no way you could get me to do that. I guess Bill Murray is a lot braver or stupider than me. BTW if I were him, I would’ve given Letterman a big hug as soon as he greeted him. I would have loved to seen the gap toothed host’s face if the Groundhog star got him all wet with whatever type of water was in that dumpster pool!
Finally that dive reminded me of another pool scene with Bill Murray that he did in a little movie called Caddyshack. If given a choice which pool I would rather dive into, my answer would be none of the above.
Salma Hayek was on The Late Show with David Letterman to promote her movie Grown Ups and she told him how much she loves to eat bugs. As much as I hate bugs and I like to see them dead, there is no way you can get me to eat one. Just thought of it makes me cringe.
BTW I wonder if her recent incident with a snake is making her want to eat one? Afterall they taste like chicken.
Helen Mirren is starring in a new movie called Love Ranch about a couple who opened the first brothel in Nevada. In a way life was imitating art for her because her husband Taylor Hackford was directing it and he wanted her to research her role by spending a night at a real brothel. The Dame was not comfortable spending the night with the Madame and her girls, but when her husband dropped her off in front of one and left there she had no choice but to do so. She told David Letterman she enjoyed the night. Could you imagine the Oscar winner studying her role as a brother owner at a brothel? I am sure her husband enjoyed the experience more than her and she had a lot of fun there!
BTW my huge problem with Letterman is after she told him that she spent the night there, he should have asked if she learned any techniques to do with her husband when they were off camera as compared to asking if the girls were damaged? Afterall he is a late night talk show host and not a hard news reporter, but hey that is me.
Finally below is the trailer for Love Ranch that is out in limited release, see if you can tell if her research helped her!
