It was a double whammy in the green room on this sultry Friday night.
First stop, Brangelina. And no, they’re not as beautiful in real life…they’re more beautiful. Especially Angie. She looks like a porcelain doll and is beyond stunning. And young! She was gracious and lovely but wasn’t having any (more) photos taken. She was there to support her man, Brad – also much younger looking in the flesh than in the pics. Especially this pic.
His latest flick is “Moneyball”. Co-starring Jonah Hill – in his old body. Now, he is teeny tiny – was dying to ask him how he did it…Weight watchers? Isagenix? Tummy tuck? He’s one of those that shrinks 5 sizes and then you’re not sure if it suits him. And then you see him in his former fleshy glory and you think it’s fake. Will the real Mr Hill please stand up?
The movie itself was good, whether you’re a baseball fan or not. Great script. Great performances. Pre-slim Jonah Hill was fantastic in his role as geeky brain trust and the baseball bits were very intense and exciting. Mr Pitt was good, but for me it kinda felt like he was calling it in. He’s gunning for an Oscar so watch this space.
BTW – the second Brad entered the room, he beelined to Angie to kiss her. Very very attentive. I totally buy it. They’re perfect.
Next stop: Clooney-town.
He co-wrote, directed and starred in Ides of March, which I really liked. Idealist young staffer, slick political candidate, everybody getting down ‘n dirty…..Very very well done. Only problem is I now think George Clooney is his alter ego from the film…
Ryan Gosling was there. Crowds of girls waiting outside – varying ages. Some for Clooney, some for Gosling. After seeing him in person, I’m with the youth.
Philip Seymour Hoffman had a double header. By the time I saw him at the second flick, we were old pals…
The Clooney greenroom was packed packed packed with strange random stars. Stacy Kiebler (GC’s new piece), Jimmy Iovine (music guy) and….um…..Bono and Edge. This time, they were far more approachable. Too bad I couldn’t keep it together. At all.
I barely help it together. But Bono was divine. Kissed my hand, was very sweet and friendly. As was his bandmate, with whom I was far more comfortable. Kind of.
Meeting a movie man is a thrill, sure. But a rock star? That’s a whole other story….Sigh…..
Wow, you are rolling with the A list.
Photo credits?
Be still my beating heart, Gosling is DI-VIIIIIIIIIIINE! But yes, the rock royalty blows ’em all away. I can see it all in your eyes!
