Patti LuPone was on Watch What Happens Live yesterday and she was spilling the tea to Andy Cohen. The actress said that Barbra Streisand is 50 years too old to play Gypsy, the time she destroyed a dressing room when she got fired from a play in London, and what she thought of playing Madonna’s mother in Evita.
My favorite spilled tea is when she talked about how Glenn Close crashed her get together with Jon Hamm and Rannells. The three of them were having drinks in Manhattan when Close came over and sat next to the Mad Men star. After the Fatal Attraction star left, LuPone said to Hamm, “If you f*ck her, I will never speak to you again.” With that stern warning, he did not go home with her. Which is a good thing because who wants her rabbit soup.
Talking about vengeance, why is LuPone so hasty towards Close? My friend Michael gave me the deets. Close was starring as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and she was a huge hit. So much so, they asked her to do the role on Broadway. There was only one problem, LuPone was already offered the role. Therefore, LuPone found out she was fired in the papers, and because of that, she is not a fan of Close.
I think the two should kiss, makeup, and star in a Broadway rendition of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. I would pay a lot of money to see that pairing.
When I saw photos of Glenn Close walking the purple carpet at the Spirit, I was in love with her metallic lilac pants suit by Sies Marjan. Then I noticed her date! They say all men are dogs, and her date was one. As in her best friend Pip.
Not only did her pup escort her down the press line, but he also accompanied her up on the stage when she won best actress for The Wife.
You know what, all awards shows should allow the celebrities four-legged pals with them! Now, that is something I would tune in to see.
BTW If you cannot get enough of these two, then follow Glenn Close on Instagram to see more of their adventures together. Their photos always bring a smile to my face.
Before Glenn Close was a wealthy woman who was cruel to 101 Dalmatians, she was a rich woman who was cruel to parentless kids in The Orphan Train. She looks the same now as she did when she was 31 in that 1979 movie.
Jimmy Fallon challenged Glenn Close to a Horse Drawn Carriage Scooter Race on The Tonight Show yesterday and he quickly regretted that decision. Almost as much as that poor bunny in Fatal Attraction did by letting her pick him up.
He regretted it because the actress fell behind him at the start and she took advantage of it by hitting him in the behind with her scooter! Don’t feel too bad for her because after that move, she moved into first place and won the game.
When it comes to the NBC late night host, at least he got some action out of their race!
Yeah, it is a slow day and this is the best I can come up with him. Be nice!
Jimmy Fallon added a new game to his The Tonight Show repertoire where he and his guest will be left looking like pigs with slop all over their faces. The first victim was Glenn Close, and the Oscar winner was not afraid to get dirty. In fact, she handled it better than the NBC late night host. Therefore, she was the winner not only of the game, but of the night too.
