Sometimes when actors makes a movie, they become friends for life. That is exactly what happened to Mary Steenburgen, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Diane Keaton when they made Book Club.
The four women have continued their friendship even off camera and met a few times since the enjoyable 2018 film came out. In fact, they even got together at Keaton’s house this weekend. Andy Cohen, like me, loves seeing the ladies together, so today he asked Mrs. Ted Danson about their dinner date on his radio show. That is when she revealed they are doing a sequel to their feature.
While that is great news for fans of the movie, I would rather see it be a series. I think it would be better if they took up a new book every week for like 10 of them. Wouldn’t it be fun to see how the Twilight series would inspire them? Maybe even be a little naughty and read The Art of the Deal. I don’t think the actresses would allow that. However, they could have fun with Kardashian Konfidential.
No word, which of the men will be back, but I have a feeling we will be seeing them again. Which makes me so very happy. If you have not seen Book Club, you should definitely watch it. It is just a sweet movie about friends being there for you whenever you need them.

Last year, Diane Keaton was on Jimmy Kimmel Live and she kissed the host like how she passionately kissed Andy Garcia in Book Club. In those just over 350 days, she has not kissed another man. Therefore, she used being on the ABC talk show to hopefully show men that she is still very much kissable.
She did so by using the ABC late night host as her dummy. She wanted to show the boys her two new ways of locking lips. After seeing her lip-locking techniques, does it make you fellas want to make out with her?
Last year, I said I wanted to kiss her, this year not as much. While that is me, Kimmel really enjoyed being her dummy.
Book Club was last year’s sleeper hit and yesterday the film’s stars got together. Does that mean that Candice Bergin, Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda and Mary Steenburgen are letting us know that they are working on a sequel? Sadly, nope. It just means that made a friendship that lasted long after they were done filming.
Personally, I think they should do a series based on the movie and each week they take on a new book that changes their lives. Imagine if they took on a murder mystery book where four friends vow to kill one of their lovers, but they don’t know which one actually do the crime. Now they are all suspicious of each other after Andy Garcia is injured by mysterious means. I would watch, wouldn’t you?
Before Diane Keaton was the lead, she was just in the tribe of Hair on Broadway. Even though she was in the background, the 22-year-old stood in that 1968 performance on The Dick Cavett Show.
Earlier this week, I posted a commercial that a 23-year-old Diane Keaton did back in 1969 and yesterday she talked about it on The Late Late Show. She told James Corden that that moment at the end when she bit her TV husband’s ear was completely improvised. She learned that improvisation is so much, she kept doing it. She even did it last night on the CBS show when the host asked her to bite his ear and she did.
