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.
Jon Hamm was on The Late Late Show yesterday, and he had to play Spill Your Guts or Feed Your Guts with James Corden. The two men had to either answer a difficult personal question or eat something disgusting. For example, the CBS host ate a tarantula rather than say which guest he liked least.
When it comes to Hamm, he drank a chili cheese dog smoothie rather than rate the past Batmans. He then chugged two glasses of hot sauce instead of saying which actor he would actor he would never want to work with again. I wonder if Ben Affleck is the answer to both questions since he is part of both of them?
Finally, it was his choice to either eat a bull pen!s or reveal how long his notorious pen!s is. He chose the former. Which is a disappointment to all of us who need to know. Although, do we really since we have pretty much seen it?
The last time that Jon Hamm was on The Tonight Show, he did an impression of Ray Romano. Yesterday, the guy that everybody loves was on the NBC late night talk show and Jimmy Fallon showed him the video of Jon hamming it up.
What did Romano think of his “friend’s” impression? He said, “If you think about it, it is a double insult.” Why? He explained, “Because he is making fun of my voice and he is making fun of golf game.” Romano then defended himself by saying that he does not take that many bad shots during golf.
Then he called Hamm a son of a bitch because “he’s handsome and he’s funny.” I am surprised he did not take a swing at his golf club because that is another reason for men to hate him and for women to love him.
After all of that bashing, it was time for Romano to hamm it up and do his impression of his friend making a bad shot. Do you think he scored a hole in one with that take or do you think it was a total duff?
Before Jon Hamm was one of the Mad Men, he was the gorgeous guy at bar on Ally McBeal. How gorgeous was the 26-year-old in that 1997 episode? You can tell why the casting department cast him out of a line full of gorgeous men. At least that is how he told Ellen DeGeneres he got the job.
I love horror movies and I have seen some crazy things in these films. Things like just Ron Jeremy’s penis on a killing rampage or a murdering refrigerator. Therefore, you would think that I would not be surprised by the movies they make anymore. Then you would be wrong.
They actually made a movie called Tag that is about 5 grown friends who play tag every May for a month since first grade. Not only that, they got some big stars to be in it like Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms, Hannibal Buress and Isla Fisher as the game players. To top it off, they say it is based on a true story.
I cannot believe someone heard this pitch and was like this will make a great feature. But then again, Hollywood is running out of ideas and at this point anything sounds good to them.
Here’s the biggest question about Tag; why if their game of tag takes place in May, is it coming out on June 15th? Don’t you think it would come out in May?
