McConaughey, Harrelson seek new posse for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Remakes of classic movies usually make me angry, but this one might actually be OK, if it happens: Mat
thew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are talking about remaking Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Life & Style mag says.
Hmm. It’s been a few years since I last saw the 1969 original, with Rob
ert Redford and Paul Newman. I think it’s time to check it out again. But I digress.
L&S found a Nameless Insider who says McConaughey is pushing for this, and is hoping that Redford will direct. There’s supposedly a script in development.
Kaley Cuoco, who’s on the cover of the latest Cosmo, says inside the mag that despite starring on the hit Big Bang Theory, she got hardly any social (or other) media attention until she had a fling last year with Henry Cavill, star of Man of Steel:
“I had no one following me until I met Superman. I’ve been in this business for 20 years, and my whole life, I could go anywhere, do anything. There had not been one paparazzi photo of me until, like, several months ago. The recognition was crazy.”
Last New Year’s Eve, Kaley married tennis pro Ryan Sweeting.
She’s 28.
Write if you get work: Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o has signed to help sell Lancôme cosmetics.
The 12 Years a Slave star is Lancôme’s first black spokesperson. The company does like Academy Award winners, having previously signed Penelope Cruz, Kate
Winslet and Julia Roberts. Talking to WWD about this, Nyong’o said this: “For me, beauty is a compassion for yourself and those around you.” Anyone have the slightest idea what that means? Let me know.
She’s 31. Did her bigshot ex-husband Charles Saatchi pull a string to block Nigella Lawson from getting into the U.S.? That’s what N.Y. Post columnist
Emily Smith suggests, although she admits there’s no actual, you know, evidence.
You saw my item yesterday, right? At Heathrow last Sunday Nigella was kept from boarding a plane to L.A., apparently because she admitted, in a court case last year, to having used marijuana and cocaine. Smith notes that Saatchi has a family connection to the U.S. ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, rich guy Matthew Barzun. (That proves it! Not.) Meanwhile another TV chef, An
thony Bourdain, has mocked the ban on Nigella, via Twitter: “‘Toron- to Mayor Rob Ford? Welcome to the USA. Nigella Lawson? No.’ Really? Absolutely appalling misuse of our system. And by whom? How?”
“There oughtta be a law” dep’t: Imagine minding your own business waiting for your plane to take off when suddenly a bunch of other passengers begin singing that inane Circle of Life song from The Lion King. Really, as if flying weren’t bad enough …
This happened the other day at Brisbane airport, as the Australian cast of the Disney musical waited to take off for Sydney. Amazingly, it seems that none of the Dull Normal passengers demanded to be let off, or to have the singers ejected.
