Fall into these streams
ANOTHER 20 minutes and it’s Labor Day. So I’ll try to help you. So pay attention. Coming is:
A Netflix hour special with Jersey’s Nicole Byer. When exactly? Who knows. They don’t even know. Emmy nominee, she produces and hosts comedy bake-off show “Nailed It!” Actress, writer, podcaster, author, her book’s “#VeryFat #VeryBrave: The Fat Girl’s Guide To Being #Brave and Not a Dejected, Melancholy, Down-inthe-Dumps Weeping Fat Girl in a Bikini.” The title’s longer than the book. She shoots this thing Sept. 5 at Gramercy Theatre.
Nicole: “Netflix is giving me a nice lil platform to have some fun tee hee hee . . . I’m so f - - king excited to do this.” Right. She shouldn’t look to be replayed on the Catholic Hour. A cyclone of one, Nicole’s repped by — ready? — WME, Artists First, and Morris Yorn Barnes Levine Krintzman Rubenstein Kohner & Gellman.
More exhilarating news. Grab your oven mitts. Netflix’s “Bake Squad” premieres. Selected by Milk Bar’s founder, four folks re-create chocolate masterpieces for a $10,000 prize. The stuff must survive stress tests, like an edible boat that floats, OK?
Not onscreen, but live: Ann Harada from “Schmigadoon!” jazzes up Douglas Carter Beane’s comedy “Fairycakes” in October. Greenwich House Theater. Costar’s “CBS Sunday Morning’s” Mo Rocca.
Back to movies. “Summer Days, Summer Nights,” written, directed, produced, starring Edward Burns. Set 1983. Rockaway Beach. Grads in and out of love, summer jobs, prepping for new worlds. It’s living with one,
yearning for another, emotions, sex, friends, family, sex, lovers, sex — and if you can imagine it they’re doing it.
Wait. More. Comes now “Flag Day,” which could be called “Family Day.” Sean Penn stars and directs his son Hopper and daughter Dylan. In film, they clash. On set, coochy-coo. Sean: “Bonds of love can be extraordinarily strong and real. And totally corrupt at the same time. I was proud to work with them.”
Dylan: “Dad as co-star and director made it intense. I felt unbelievably supported, which allowed me to be vulnerable and emotionally naked. Comforting when someone knows you from the way you part your hair to how you enter a room.” Yeah. OK.
An auc to grind
AUCTIONING today at Gotta Have Rock and Roll is Snoop Dogg’s Braun coffee grinder. The thing’s from August 1999. Snoop and Ivy Supersonic were at the Millennium Hotel shooting her hats. He slipped out and left what she thought was his coffee accouterment on the desk. She took it for him. Someone sniffed: “That’s Snoop’s marijuana grinder.” So, obviously, coffee beans and pot leaves share similarities — other than medicinal effects.
This thing comes with an actual letter of authenticity — not that any pothead would care.
EXECUTIVES are remembering those best-dressed lists, but big question now is, what to wear on the unemployment line.
Only in New York, kids, only in New York.
