Billy Bob Thorton sets aside his raunchy also comes to big screens this weekend.
THEATER: Adventures in Mating uses the “Choose Your Own Adventure” novel device to stage this comedy about “a girl, a boy, and their stunning inability to make even the most basic of decisions. Miranda and Jeffrey are on a blind date... a magical date? A disasterous one? Only you, the oh-so-fickle public, can decide.” The show opens tonight in New York after a successful debut at the 2005 Minneapolis Fringe Festival. - John Del Signore
It's so embarrassing, but when we saw how adorable little Suri Cruise was as she was toted by her parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in Rome, we were goners. (She does not look particularly Asian, either.) We suddenly believe in media circus weddings abroad with a motley group of celebrities (Leah Remini and Jenna Elfman we get - they're Scientologists - but J. Lo and Jim Carrey?) and unions bound by carefully vetted contracts. Tom Cruise's children with Nicole Kidman are so damn cute, too. We can't help it if we feel like Kelly in The Office. (Speaking of, the Lazy Scranton video is on the NBC website.)
New York Magazine reports that Jim Carrey is renting an apartment near Lincoln Center for the smokin' figure of $45,000 a month. The apartment is for sale - if you have $11,800,000 to spare - and has a 2,000 square foot living room! We saw Carrey on a Barbara Walters special, and he was talking about being all Zen and we think took her to his meditation retreat for the weepy part of the interview; this apartment has tons of terraces, so he can commune with Buddha there.
2:04 AM - The media is being told they have to wait a while before the TWU will talk. So with that, Gothamist is going to bed to get ready in case there is a strike - we're going attempt to check out the Brooklyn Bridge in the morning, which is supposed to be really cold tomorrow morning. Dress warm and dream of the strike being resolved by the time you wake up. Thanks for waiting with us - we'll be all over this in a few hours as well!
This decision is a result of much thoughtful consideration. We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another. We ask in advance for your kindness and sensitivity in the coming months.It's a moment for everyone to have Schadenfreude, even though some New Yorkers were shocked - "Oh, my God! I really thought it was going to last," said one to the Daily News. Anyway, translation of the press statement: Gothamist salutes the couple for confusing the tabloids, even bringing Star to put them on their cover, saying they were back together and ready to make a baby. Anyway, cynically speaking, their film careers have been a mixed bag since their marriage. Sure, Aniston had The Good Girl, but it was more to establish her acting chops; she's been relegated to playing Jim Carrey's and Ben Stiller's significant others, which is never a good things...and a faux-sequel of The Graduate with Rob Reiner directing? Egads. Pitt has remained looking hot, which is all Gothamist asks.
Overpaid comedic actors with serious depression issues aside, the real question is whether the competition will cause a pricing war, causing the fake profits to disappear (where will the Monopoly money go?). Gothamist believes that both companies will grind each other into the dust and end up getting acquired by a Japanese USB noodle cooler manufacturer, a subsidiary of Bratz, or an internet casino.
I've never had to see Jim Carrey naked. I've never had to kiss Tom Cruise and pretend to enjoy it. No one monitors my weight, and there was no painful breakup with White Stripes guitarist Jack White.We'd amend "breakup" to "relationship," but the rest is right on.
Variety reports that Jim Carrey is in talks to star in a comic version the Six Million Dollar Man. "The long-in-development action film became a fast-tracked comedy after Carrey and his managers Jim Miller and Eric Gold had the idea to marry an exaggerated sendup of an action film to the six million dollar man title." Well, sure, exaggerated works for Carrey, but call us purists, but there's something so cool about Lee Majors's seriousness as Steve Austin. With Carrey, it'd be Six Million Dollar Bruce Amighty, which Gothamist can do without.
In a truly inspired turn, producers are looking at Will Ferrell to play Darrin to Nicole Kidman's Samantha in the film version of beloved television show, Bewitched. At first, Jim Carrey was mentioned to play the hapless, mere mortal husband, but how many times do we really need to him play a bumbling everyman? Will Ferrell, on the other hand, we could watch 24-7 and not get tired. It's 'cause we got a fever and the only prescription is a cowbell.
So far, the work of Charlie Kaufman has only been adapted by two directors: Spike Jonze, with Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, and Michel Gondry, whose Human Nature was tepidly received but has directed the eagerly awaited 2004 release, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Eternal Sunshine stars Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Tom Wilkinson, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, and Mark Ruffalo, with Carrey as a man trying to erase memories of ex-girlfriend Winslet from his mind. And by the looks of the trailer, it looks like vintage Kaufman AND Gondry, with tiny human bodies in normal size enviroments.
Conan O'Brien's May 16 show in clay was the highest Late Night in over a year! How does Conan feel about that, glad that months of hard work paid off or upset that Clay Conan drives more guests that Human Conan.
