Susan Lucci was a guest on Good Morning America this morning, and Michael Strahan wanted to get some tips on how to do the perfect fight scene. And she was more than happy to demonstrate one.
The legendary diva noticed that there was a glass of water that she could use as a prop, so she picked it up and held it. Then, she decided to go for it and splashed some on his face.
That was nice, but everyone was wanting more, including the host. So he asked what happens when you don’t get it on the first try. She explained that the victim goes to hair and makeup, and gets ready to do it all over again.
With that, he asked for more water. This time, she did not hesitate and threw a whole glass of water at him. Leaving his face drenched with water.
However, that was enough for the crew. So, they gave her a pitcher of water. He got down on his knees and poured it all on his head, leaving him soaking wet.
But he was not mad; he just laughed it off because he had a lot of fun. And he can say that he survived a fight with the great Erica Kane. Maybe survived is not the correct word. But he lived to tell about it.
At least on air. Because when the camera panned to the crew, they were lined up to give it their best shot. It was just like that scene in Airplane when the passengers lined up to slap the woman who needed to be calmed down.
Keke Palmer showed up to the SAG Awards wearing something older than her. The actress wore a floor-length black velvet Chanel gown with a gold leaf embellishment around the neckline.
The dress made its fashion debut in 1985 on the runway, eight years before KeKe was born. In 1986, Jamie Lee Curtis wore it at the First Annual American Cinematheque Award Salute to Eddie Murphy, almost 29 years later to the date.
So, who wore it better: Palmer or Curtis? The Oscar winner wrote, “As much as I would love to say it was mine, it was borrowed from my friend @debopp [Deborah Oppenheimer] and I’m thrilled to be anywhere near @keke in style and grace and talent!”
Jamie Lee Curtis was a presenter at the SAG Awards on Netflix yesterday, and she shared a secret while announcing the winner for Male Actor in a TV Movie or Limited Series.
She told the audience, “And the actor goes to the man who gave me COVID at the Golden Globes, Colin Farrell.”
The SAG Awards winner looked shocked and was silently telling the laughing actress he felt terrible because he didn’t know that he did. But would he acknowledge it in his speech? “Guilty as charged!” Colin said, “But Brendan Gleeson fucking gave it to me. So, I was just spreading the love!”
Can I be part of that spreading the love? I don’t want COVID, but I would like to try to get it from The Penguin!
If you are tuning into Suits LA on NBC at 9p and expecting to see the Suits you knew on USA, you will be disappointed. But not getting a ripoff is not a bad thing.
That works for and against it. Suits focused on Harvey and Mike’s dynamic with the people at the law firm assisting the storyline. And it worked because there were just six leads. Everyone had their purpose and different roles.
Suits LA has too many characters, and too many are fighting someone else for a position.
Ted Black (Stephen Amell) is a former NY mob attorney who moved to LA to get away from that job and his father.
Stuart Lane (Josh McDermitt) is a criminal defense lawyer who owns an entertainment law firm, and he persuades his old friend Black to join him and merge their firms. But neither man is sold on the idea.
Ted has two entertainment lawyers, who both want to run the firm’s entertainment department.
Rick Dodson (Bryan Greenberg) has been promised the job. He is not the best closer, but there are a lot of other things he is good at, which makes him the right person for the job.
Erica (Lex Scott Davis) also wants the job and is the best closer. She will do anything to get it. Even though Ted keeps telling her, the title is going to Rick.
Leah (Alice Lee) is treated like Erica’s assistant, but she is a lawyer and wants more responsibility that her boss won’t give her. Therefore, she will go around her boss’ back to get help from others.
And there are more people who work at the firm and play other roles. But I couldn’t keep track.
The show’s biggest downfall is using real stars to play themselves in stupid scenarios. It works when Victoria Justice plays someone else but not when Patton Oswalt and Brian Baumgartner play themselves. It ruins the series and takes you away from the episode because it feels so misplaced.
It might sound like I don’t like this show, but I do. I just think as it goes on, they will need to tighten the scripts and stop having so many rivalries. We fell in love with Louis Litt, but none of these characters have gotten to his level yet. And I hope they do.
I say we need to give the legal drama a chance because it has potential.
