Blind Item #7
This C+ list celebrity offspring of a permanent A+list director embarrassed the heck out of herself this week when she did line after line of coke while also doing shots and fell down on top of a table that she was trying to stand on. This happened at a black tie event.
Clint's daughter... whats her face
ReplyDeleteDing! I think we have a winner! Francesca seems like she is always dialed to "hot mess."
DeleteFrancesca
ReplyDeleteScorcese's daughter at the LACMA event
ReplyDeleteWhat was the event?
ReplyDeleteGia Copolla was at LACMA this weekend. Director/actress in her own right.
ReplyDeleteThis might be a better guess than Francesca. I've heard Gia Coppola is a rouster.
DeleteYep taking celebutard to a whole new level,francesca. Remember when she burnt a hermes bag?
ReplyDeleteDo you actually think she burned a genuine Hermes bag?
DeleteNo way, she burned a fake one.
@Kirstin: +1
ReplyDeleteMamet
ReplyDeleteCount beat me, but I thought of that Zosia chick.
ReplyDeleteJust to be different, Giada De Laurentiis, granddaughter of back-in-the-day-director Dino De Laurentiis.
ReplyDeleteRon Howard's daughter?
ReplyDelete@janele
ReplyDeleteI think De Laurentiis is a film producer, not a film director.
Janele, no — Dino was a producer, not director. And Giada (as you said) is his granddaughter, not daughter.
ReplyDeleteMamet
ReplyDeleteNo way is David Mamet a permanent A List director. Maybe bad playwright with a potty mouth, but A List director he is not
ReplyDeleteWhile EDMOND sucked, most of Mamet's work does not. David Mamet won a Pulitzer. He's won two London Critics Circle Film Awards, some awards at the Venice Film Festival, and a
ReplyDeleteWriters Guild of America award. He's been nominated for a Ajijic International Film Festivaldoes, a Palm d'Or, and a Tony. He co-founded---with William H. Macy---one of the premiere acting conservatories where actors actually learn to work and not act like divas ( Atlantic Acting School.) He does not have a potty mouth; he uses curse words as did Shakespeare whose writing is nothing but sex and violence. It always bothers me when people refer to curse words in writing as the author having a potty mouth. It shows a complete lack of understanding of art and creating worlds/characters/speech rhythms. Mamet is also known, along with the playwright/screenwriter Harold Pinter and playwright Caryl Churchill, for being beyond precise in his use of language: grammar, punctuation, word choice.
I say, my wordy friend, have you seen The Spanish Prisoner? How about Oleanna?? Mamet would not know how to write dialogue if he transcribed a conversation. While I understand that precise language is important to some, profanity for effect over and over loses its impact. We will have to agree to disagree.
ReplyDeleteBesides all this, how would any of this make him an A List Director??
Also, it was mainly just his one play where the characters cursed. There might be curses here and there spread throughout his work, but none of equal measure as there was in Glengarry.
ReplyDeleteI kinda liked Edmond. Liked, not loved. Edmond felt like a schizoid Taxi Driver.
Okay, I guessed wrong, thought maybe JBE forgot his account logon and had to go incognito
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, back to the blind - Mamet is not an A+ list director by any stretch. His only box office success was the screenplay for The Untouchables - 25 years ago. Mamet's movie budgets are always very low. An A+ director can get ten times the amount to fund a movie over what Mamet gets.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Francesca.
Ah, I'm never incognito here TalksTooMuch. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm the same idiot here every day.
There's the spirit, JBE! Anonymity is for the birds. And the conflicted.
ReplyDeleteEnty means this to be Gia Coppola, only as someone above said she's FFC's grand-daughter, technically not offspring, but whatever who has times for trivial details with all these wonderful blinds? [cough]
ReplyDeleteIsn't this what all talentless celebrity spawn do?
