CNN —Pamela Anderson says preparing for “The Last Showgirl” was a deeply personal experience. “I was able to bring a lot of my own personal experience, my long life of dealing with beauty and glamour and aging and reassessing life choices,” Anderson told Madison, speaking about the emotional preparation she did. “The Last Showgirl” stars Anderson as Shelly, a Las Vegas showgirl whose show abruptly closes after a 30-year-run, forcing her to face her future and plan for it head-on. In the Variety interview, Anderson went on to talk about her two sons Brandon and Dylan Lee, who she shares with her ex, Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee. But you need life experience to know that you would have done that differently,” Anderson said.

“In this time, it’s extremely important that we bring the voices of Afghan women forward,” Yousafzai said in a Zoom interview with NBC News. (The militant group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, also known as the Pakistani Taliban, is a separate organization from the Taliban in Afghanistan, but a close ally.) “The Taliban are attempting to make women invisible, in a way,” said Yousafzai, who graduated from Oxford University in 2020. Mani, who also serves as a producer, said she was working on a different documentary in Afghanistan when the Taliban takeover happened. “We need women’s demands and rights to be on the agenda where the future of Afghanistan is being discussed and decided.

☆ Opinion: What ‘Unfrosted’ reveals about my growing unease about Jerry Seinfeld
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-08 | by ( Gene | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

I love “Seinfeld.” As for the actual comedian Jerry Seinfeld, however it’s…complicated. In most of his activities outside his eponymous classic sitcom (1989-1998), Seinfeld bemuses more than amuses me. This ambivalence only obliquely affects my opinion of “Unfrosted,” Seinfeld’s recently-released feature-length Netflix comedy. Still, I’ve always had the disquieting sense of Seinfeld somehow always Getting Away With Something when he pulls off this suave, impeccably creased act. Seinfeld isn’t about unsettling his viewers and I’m in no way suggesting he should be.

☆ ‘Barbie’ stars Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera don’t hold back after the Academy snubs Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie

When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominations Tuesday morning for the 96th annual Oscars, both Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie were dealt a shocking snub in the best director and best actress categories, respectively. It was nominated for best picture. The controversy prompted two of the film’s stars, Gosling and America Ferrera, to speak out and convey their dismay at the cold shoulder from the Academy. At last year’s awards ceremony, host Jimmy Kimmel even joked, “How does the Academy not nominate the guy who directed ‘Avatar’? What do they think he is, a woman?”There is empirical evidence that supports the notion women are overlooked by the Academy.

CNN —Natalie Portman calls it “an accident of luck” that she was not harmed while working as a child actor. “I feel it was almost an accident of luck that I was not harmed, also combined with very overprotective, wonderful parents,” she said. Having said that, I know all the conversations that we’ve been having these past few years. It’s made people more aware and careful.”“But ultimately, I don’t believe that kids should work,” she said. “I think kids should play and go to school.”Portman currently stars with Julianne Moore in the buzzy drama “May December.”

☆ Variety faces calls for a retraction as its head-turning story about CNN drama begins to fall apart

CNN —Variety has a mess on its hands. Former CNN chief Jeff Zucker, The Atlantic journalist Tim Alberta, and Puck Editor-In-Chief Jon Kelly have all called for the outlet to publicly correct the record. But, thus far, Variety has resisted taking any such action, outside quietly removing the widely panned Tatiana Siegel-written feature from its online homepage. The outlet’s deafening silence comes as the piece begins to fall apart in public. (It goes without saying that Zucker’s camp denied to Siegel that this ever happened, but she printed it anyway.)

CNN —She’s one of the most celebrated actors of her generation, but Cate Blanchett wants to branch out even more into other filmmaking pursuits. “I’m always trying to get out of acting,” she said at the Cannes Film Festival this week during a conversation with Variety’s Chief Correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister. “I’ve been trying to stop acting my entire professional life.”The two-time Oscar-winner was at the ritzy French cinema fest to present her new film, “The New Boy,” which premiered on Friday, a film she stars in and also produced. Blanchett also mentioned how on her 2020 FX miniseries “Mrs. “I realize that I’m the only woman in the cast…there are 62 men, and yep, I’m the only woman.

But casting for a colorblind utopia can be a problem when your aim is to depict racial injustice. Nontraditional casting is of particular value where there’s a tradition to be bucked; familiar works or historical episodes can be experienced in fresh ways. In high school, I was cast as the menacing Goldberg in Harold Pinter’s 1957 play, “The Birthday Party.” (“Mazel tov! There’s a useful analogy, speaking of Goldberg variations, in the “historically informed performance” movement in music. But who would limit themselves to “authentic” performances of Bach’s “Goldberg” Variations — and thus miss the marimba player Pius Cheung’s rendition?
