In people's interminable boredom, these photos from 2002 have suddenly gone viral. A lot has happened since they were taken. We found out Dustin Hoffman was creepy to women with whom he worked. And that Susan Sarandon is dumb as an ox. But the one thing that has remained is that Jake Gyllenhaal is still hot as they come!
The second I saw a cisgender actor (Elle Fanning) had been cast to play the transgender boy in "3 Generations" I knew the film had a target on its back. Director Gaby Dellal accepts the criticism and has thoughtfully tried to explain how this casting came about -- that finding a F2M actor who hadn't transitioned yet but who could carry a film was a tall order -- so I watched the trailer with an open heart. (Getting past the inclusion of Susan Sarandon was the bigger issue for me!) While I think it's important for LGBT activists to keep pressure on Hollywood, I do think the movement is youthful enough to still benefit from most recognition -- short of "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry." "3 Generations" looks like its heart is in the right place, so my sense is we shouldn't dismiss out of hand everything that's not done to our ideal standards.(The fact that a transgender youth film can look so formulaic has to be a sign of progress and acceptance, no?!!!)
With the gays in a frenzy over "Feud" -- my best friend said he can't watch it because Susan Sarandon is so bad -- Boy Culture decided to answer the question: What ever happened to the kids from "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?"? Read HERE.
"Feud: Bette and Joan" premieres Sunday, March 5 at 10 p.m. on FX.
Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon star in an imagination of what really happened on the set of "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" -- aka the latest reminder that they don't make Hollywood stars like they used to.
"Feud: Bette and Joan" is the first installment of the new FX anthology series from Ryan Murphy, tells the story of the legendary rivalry between Joan Crawford (Jessica Lange) and Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon) during their collaboration on the Academy Award-nominated thriller "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?," and well after the cameras stopped rolling. The series explores how the two women endured ageism, sexism, and misogyny while struggling to hang on to success and fame in the twilight of their careers.
To Susan Sarandon's daughter, who fired her nanny because she found out she was lusting after her hubby, Kyle Martino: Good luck finding anyone who wouldn't want to bed your man!
On a blog post titled “Nannygate 2.0” posted on her website on Monday, Eva Amurri wrote she came home from a business trip in New York and learned her husband had been texted by the unnamed nanny.
“'OMG. Girl, did I mention to you how hot and sex my Boss is. I would love to f--- his brains out ha haah," the woman wrote.
"Too bad he seems not to like thick Latin women with lots to hold on to LOL,” she continued.
Martino, believing it be a case of a wrong text, waited for an explanation but it never came.
“A part of him thought it was so hilarious of course, but the greater part of him was head-in-hands embarrassed for her and couldn’t believe he was going to have to deal with the awkwardness of having to talk about something so uncomfortable,” Amurri explained.
"Ping Pong Summer" is an upcoming film set in 1985 Ocean City, Maryland, starring Amy Sedaris, Lea Thompson, Judah Friedlander -- and SPiN queen Susan Sarandon and newcomer Marcello Conte as a mother/son Mr. Miyagi/KaratePing-Pong Kid. My brothers and I are considering a lawsuit as this violates the copyright of our lives.
