No matter what Gwyneth Paltrow does she can’t seem to help making a major statement while doing it. Not only did her acting prowess win her an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love, but she then went on to found a headline-making health and wellness website you may have heard of called Goop, which for better or worse has brought some pretty interesting, and questionable, holistic ideas into the mainstream, like bee-sting facials, vaginal steaming, yoni eggs, and, of course, conscious uncoupling (which if you somehow missed Paltrow’s attempt at completely rebranding the end of her relationship, that’s...

Bette Midler proved why she’s called the Divine Miss M, delivering an epic speech to accept the Tony Award Sunday for her star turn in the Broadway revival of “Hello, Dolly!” — and stubbornly refusing to leave the stage until she was good and ready. In her four-minute-plus oration, she thanked the actors and creative team in the hit musical production as well as former teachers and actresses who previously played her role, from Carol Channing to Pearl Bailey. But as the orchestra struck up “There’s No Business Like Show Business” hoping to usher her from the stage, Midler was having.

Reese Witherspoon‘s preppy, feminine clothing line, Draper James, as been a hit ever since it launched in 2015. Pieces constantly sell out from the high demand, her A-list friends love wearing her designs and she just expanded her range with capsule collections for Nordstrom and Net-a-Porter (the latter of which just launched with new styles Wednesday.). In a new interview with Net-a-Porter’s digital magazine, The Edit, she says all this success came after realizing that the fashion market wasn’t catering to huge portion of the population.

Chicago – In a spectacular original work, the power of the theater comments upon the inequity of “types” for women performers in the theater and other media. Collaboration’s “Gender Breakdown” is a performance piece on how women are subject to many cattle calls just based on how they look, and how certain women – especially those of color and ethnicity – will not even be considered for roles that involve romance or portraying a lead protagonist, for example…even when doing scene training in college. The stories are direct and authentic, and burst from the hearts of the storytellers. It runs in Chicago through March 19th, 2017 (see link below).
Play Rating: 4.5/5.0
The piece is split into vignettes that “break down” the situations that woman actors are subjected to, both on the highest, lowest and academic levels. The unfairness of it all wears upon the psyche of the women involved, and the showcase...

Show business has always understood the value of words. Whether on the silver screen, television, radio or the stage, writing is crucial to a production’s success or failure. “You struggle, you claw, and you scratch trying to camouflage a bad script,” the actor Gregory Peck once said. “When the script is sound and the structure is there, you just sort of sail through.” Behind the scenes, the specificity of what’s said is every bit as important. When a 19th-century stage hand was told to make sure the star was “in the limelight,” he’d be in big trouble if he didn’t.

New York -- Robert Vaughn, the debonair, Oscar-nominated actor whose many film roles were eclipsed by his hugely popular turn in television’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E., has died. He was 83.
Vaughn died Friday morning after a brief battle with acute leukemia, according to his manager, Matthew Sullivan.
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. was an immediate hit, particularly with young people, when it debuted on NBC 1964. It was part of an avalanche of secret agent shows (I Spy, Mission: Impossible, Secret Agent), spoofs (Get Smart), books (The Spy Who Came in From the Cold) and even songs (Secret Agent Man) inspired by the James Bond films.
Vaughn’s urbane superspy Napoleon Solo teamed with Scottish actor David McCallum’s Illya Kuryakin, a soft-spoken, Russian-born agent.

Show business is known for being a demeaning, dispiriting, and humiliating industry, even under the best of circumstances. But for those affected by various forms of dwarfism, resulting in the stunted growth of their limbs, the situation can be especially grim. While movies and TV have gradually become more sensitive in their depiction of various genders, races, religions, and sexual preferences, the entertainment industry still treats little people, or LPs, in an embarrassing, stereotyped way in 2016. It’s been 77 years since The Wizard Of Oz, but the public image of LPs has scarcely improved since then. The days of P.T. Barnum and carnival sideshows may be over, but little people are still performing in sleazy, exploitative cabaret shows and portraying elves and goblins in movies. Seth Abramovitch writes about numerous issues related to the LP community in a wide-ranging piece for The Hollywood Reporter entitled “Little People ...

“We’ll remember you forever, Eddie / Through the sacrifice you made / We can’t believe the price you paid / For love”
After a brief, eerie opening voiceover from Rod Serling, Brian De Palma’s biting 1974 Phantom of the Paradise opens with these lyrics from The Juicy Fruits — a literally named bubblegum nostalgia pop outfit — that combine the easily digestible with the macabre. The song’s musician subject exploits the American cult of celebrity, becoming an overnight sensation by strategically committing suicide for chart success. This mesh of exploitation and idealism peaks as ghoulish producer Swan (Paul Williams) and aspiring singer Winslow Leach (William Finley) do Faustian battle over the fate of music and their souls. In De Palma’s first big-budget film — relatively: it was twice the cost of 1973’s Sisters — the money went to making the biggest, flashiest middle finger to creative industry you could ask for while cementing his meta-fascination with death.
