Kirstie Alley claimed she was "blackballed" by Hollywood because of her support for Donald Trump prior to her death. The former Cheers actress died on Monday at the age of 71. Her children announced her death in a statement, saying she had been treated for cancer. Several celebrities have paid tribute to Alley with messages online, but before she died, the star had spoken openly about how she felt Hollywood had turned its back on her because of her vocal support for Donald Trump. Alley's support for the Republican politician yoyoed over the years, but as recently as 2021, she said she was still feeling the ramifications. During the 2016 presidential election, Alley initially stated that she would not be voting for Hillary Clinton . Later that year, she tweeted her support for presidential nominee Trump, and one of his supporters. ""HELLO BOYS! this is my formal endorsement of [Donald Trump] & I'm a woman! (last I checked) And Rudy [Giuliani], U R amazing!," Alley … [Read more...] about How Kirstie Alley’s Donald Trump support got her “blackballed” by Hollywood

Not every Carey Mulligan movie begins with a Charli XCX song , but maybe more of them should. When “Promising Young Woman” deploys the 2017 pop bop “Boys” in its opening moments, it’s the first sign you’re about to get something from Mulligan that you’re not used to: namely, a contemporary setting. “I know that for a cinema audience, I’m just constantly in period costume,” Mulligan said recently, shrugging her shoulders in an oversized red sweater. She was video-chatting with me from her British country house in Devon, where she had sequestered herself in a darkened music room typically used by her husband, Marcus Mumford , from the band Mumford & Sons. A single, solitary lamp illuminated her, as single, solitary lamps often do with Mulligan. You’ll find little more than a meager light source in many of the 35-year-old actress’s most recent movies, which include “ Far From the Madding Crowd ,” set around 1870, “ Suffragette ,” about equal-rights protests in 1912 … [Read more...] about Carey Mulligan Won’t Let Hollywood Off the Hook

Hollywood writer-director James Toback has reportedly been sued by 38 women who allege he was a “serial sexual predator” who assaulted numerous women over the decades, often luring them with the prospect of being cast in one of his movies. Toback — whose directorial credits include The Pick-Up Artist and Fingers , and who was Oscar-nominated for his screenplay for Bugsy — has faced accusations of sexual misconduct since the Los Angeles Times spoke to the same number of women five years ago during the height of the #MeToo movement. The women claimed the filmmaker enticed them with the prospect of working in one of his films before sexually assaulting them. Los Angeles prosecutors declined to file charges in five of the cases, saying the statute of limitations had expired for all of them. More than three dozen women filed a bombshell lawsuit against director James Toback, accusing the filmmaker of using his influence in the entertainment industry to lure and sexually … [Read more...] about James Toback Sued by 38 Women Alleging Hollywood Filmmaker Was a ‘Serial Sexual Predator’

My late mother didn’t have much of a chance to fully assimilate into American life. She moved to the United States from Mexico as a 9-year-old in the early 1960s and went to work almost immediately — first in garlic and strawberry fields, then as a packer in the old Hunt-Wesson cannery in Fullerton. Although she learned English, Mami spoke Spanish almost exclusively for most of her life. That didn’t stop her from enjoying almost everything Hollywood had to offer. Her tastes over the decades largely mirrored those of mainstream America. She enjoyed the screwball antics of Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett and Benny Hill. She swooned over Omar Sharif in “Doctor Zhivago” and Burt Reynolds in the “Smokey and the Bandit” films. She thought Steve Martin was a brilliant actor and loved game shows like “Family Feud” and “The Chase.” Advertisement Mami didn’t care for ultraviolence or on-screen nudity. But she saved a special kind of ire for a franchise I never expected her to hate: … [Read more...] about Column: Latinos are starring in Hollywood’s fantasy flicks. Real-life tales, not so much

Sign up for the View from Westminster email for expert analysis straight to your inbox Get our free View from Westminster email Renee Zellweger is starring in the new series The Thing About Pam , now streaming on Amazon Prime. For the role of convicted murderer Pamela Hupp, Zellweger is wearing a fat suit. Of the costume, she says : “​​It was pretty much head to toe. It was prosthetics, it was a [padded] suit, it was the choice of clothing, it was the briskness in her step-step-step, her gait.” I have a question. Why was a thin woman cast in this role in the first place? Fat suits are offensive and outdated – they need consigning to the dustbin of film and TV history. They’re not funny, although they’re most often played for laughs – see “Fat Monica” in Friends , who audiences were supposed to find hilarious for simply… dancing while fat, or flirting with Chandler while fat. More than this, fat suits send the message that there aren’t … [Read more...] about The Renee Zellweger controversy shows why Hollywood needs to ditch fat suits once and for all
