In order for Renee Zellwegger to become Judy Garland, she had to wear a prosthetic nose and that made her kissing scenes awkward.
As we know kissing is naturally awkward enough because noses get in the way. However, it proved to be even more a problem for the actress. She explained to Michael Strahan on Good Morning America today why “I didn’t know this but the prosthetic seems to takes on a life of its own once it’s on there. The glue, mixed with, I guess, your skin’s trying to breathe desperately, it kind of becomes liquified. You know, and it is trying to find a place to go. It is looking for a way to get out.” Then she added, “Sometimes it would be on Finn Wittrock’s face.”
Can you blame the nose, I would rather be on his face too.
Am I the only who never noticed what a thick Southern drawl she had until this interview. Was it always there or is it something new?
https://twitter.com/i/status/1140288416824905728 Italia Ricci and Kal Penn were the designated panelists on $100,000 Pyramid and you can say the actress got revenge on ABC for wrongfully canceling Designated Survivor last year. I guess all the cursing that she can now do with the political drama on Netflix helped her on the game show yesterday.
Her partner picked a category where she had to “Describe these things Wolverine would probably claw through if he touched them.” It started off easy when she got “shirt”, but it got really hard (pun intended) when she got “condom” at the end. That is when she gave her partner this clue, “You put it over your ^![& when you have sex.” Of course, Gabe got it immediately, and the Chasing Life star was chasing embarrassment. She could not stop apologizing and laughing so hard she had tears on her eyes. Which is why we love her so much.
Both her and Michael Strahan kept making jokes about it for the rest of her episode. The slip of the tongue did not hurt her and Gabe in the final round. They quickly got through the board and he won the $100,000 grand prize. Imagine how many condoms he can buy with all of that money! Not that Italia needs them now because she is pregnant with her first child with husband Robbie Amell.
Back to what she said. After ABC posted this clip, she had little clarification to make about their transcription. She wrote, “While I appreciate the editor trying to make me a better person in tonight’s episode, I assure you what I said there did not start with a P.” I am assuming she said Dick, what do you think she said?
Tonight at 8p, Roseanne-less aka The Conners debuts on ABC. This morning John Goodman and Sara Gilbert talked about their show on Good Morning America. They did not say much about the changes because they cannot.
Then when Michael Strahan asked them what they would say to the skeptics to get them to watch, Goodman had the perfect answer. He said, “Don’t cost nothing!” There you have it, your reason to watch.
But will you? I think their numbers will be huge tonight because of the curiosity factor. Then I expect the numbers to rapidly decline.
Tony Danza was on Good Morning America yesterday and Michael Strahan asked him if it is true he is a rapper. The actor, who is also a singer, shared with the hosts he has an alter ego named Italian Ice and then he showed off his rapping skills. You know what, he can give Childish Gambino a run for his money. That is if he can find a group of people who can clap on beat.
Another great reveal in this interview is Danza told them that one of his grandchildren thought he was in jail like his character on Netflix’s The Good Cop. The only crime he committed is by being so good on that police dramedy.
Last week, there were rumors that Paula Farris left The View and looks like she is not the only one. Page Six is reporting that Sara Haines is giving up the talk show to host the third hour of Good Morning America with Michael Strahan at 1p that debuts in September.
Haines joined ABC in 2013 and The View in 2016 after several guest appearances.
Haines departure leaves Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Meghan McCain on the panel and I think that is just enough screaming head at the table. What about you?
UPDATE: GMA made the new official today. Haines wrote on social media, “Ahhhhhhhh!! Not even sure I can find the words to adequately express how excited I am to sit next to @michaelstrahan as we embark on this new journey at @GMA #GMADay…it is (and has been) a dream of mine for a LONG time. It’s bittersweet though as I leave @theviewabc, a place I have called home for the past couple years. A huge thank you to all the viewers and fans who have followed me along the way. I LOVE my View family, but don’t worry, my brand new *view* is literally down the street.”
