‘Moana’ would attract the wrong crowd in Italy

Disney’s latest cartoon movie — sorry, I meant computer-animated full-length fantasy musical adventure — opens next week. It’s called Moana.

In Italy, however, they’ve renamed the Polynesian-themed picture as Oceania. Variety explains the reason for this: “For Italian adults at least, ‘Moana’ is pretty much synonymous with Moana Pozzi, a porn actress and TV personality who is still a household name, even though she died in 1994.”

The paper talked to “an Italian marketing expert who did not want to be quoted by name,” who explained Disney’s thinking this way: “If you type ‘Moana’ and do a Google search in Italy, you risk coming up with porn videos.”

This international marketing is tricky, Variety explains. In Spain, for example, the movie is called Vaiana. There’s a brand called Moana.

Pozzi died, possibly of liver cancer, at 33.

You remember Ludacris’s 2003 hit album Chicken-n-Beer, right? So the question is: Why did it take him 13 years to open the restaurant?

Now he’s finally got it off the ground, at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

“I’m talking about great food, great drinks, great energy,” he Instagrammed, “and my employees are the best employees in the world.”

He also posted a picture of the first two customers on opening day, saying: “Ironically, one looks like he could be my damn cousin. Lol.”

No prizes for guessing what stars on the menu. Also offered: shrimp and grits, chicken and pecan waffles, battered catfish, sweet potato mash …

Mick Jagger’s no cheapskate. TMZ recounts that Mick and five pals dined the other night at the Manhattan Chinese resto Philippe Chow. This is what I call “tuxedo Chinese” — the scallion pancakes cost US$12. I generally find that one eats better Chinese food at funky little joints. But I digress. At those prices, the party of six, and their security guys, easily spent US$478 — tuna tartare, green prawns, Peking duck, the special noodles, and the not-very-Chinese-sounding baked alaska dessert.

The point of all this: Jagger paid, and tipped $500 — more than the amount of the bill. TMZ claims, with a straight face, that the party’s waiter commented: “If you try sometimes, you get what you need.”

Guess who’s missing from the new teaser video for Mariah Carey’s “reality” series?

Before he and Carey broke up, Australian media heir James Packer was in much of the advance filming. For him, all this intrusion was pretty annoying.

The E! cable network’s teaser for the Dec. 4 opener has quick cuts, loud noise, champagne and plenty of smiling Mariah. But there’s no James, though she is seen trying on a bridal gown.

The N.Y. Post’s source claims that Packer’s lawyers are insisting he not appear. A Packer spokesman says that’s “not accurate.”
