MICHAEL DOUGLAS IS THINKING OF A WHITE RUSSIAN MOVIE REPRISAL ROLE PLAYING RONALD REAGAN
Ridley Scott is producing a film about Ronald Reagan‘s star turn from actor to US President. Mike Newell is slated to direct.
Industry news reports: “Michael Douglas may sign to play Reagan. The actor and active Democratic fundraiser is in discussions to star as the actor-turned-Republican President Ronald Reagan in the indie Reykjavik. Brit helmer Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) is in talks to direct the film that once was being eyed by Ridley Scott as a directing vehicle.”

ELIA KAZAN’S HOLLYWOOD STAR – ON THE WATER FRONT OF PROLETARIAN WIT SURREALISM
His wit a proletarian thunderbolt.
–Elia Kazan:
A slow day at the Kiwi blogger’s office as the Olympics Opening Ceremony in London got off to a hiss and a roar. Red, white and blue skies over Eden.
For some reason unknown, my mind meanders across Constantinople, Ottoman Empire’s New York son, Elia Kazan.
His self-expression and psychological realism. A gift of drawing out the best dramatic performances from the well of human experiences he saw in his actors. On the waterfront of a streetcar named desire he arrived east of Eden. ”I don’t move unless I have some empathy with the basic theme,” his emotinal palate bespoke him. He too carried with him the aura of a prophet, a magician, a witch doctor, a psychoanalyst, and a feared father of a Jewish home. He was the force that held cohesion and permanency of team. His wit a proletarian thunderbolt.
An angel against personal alienation with an outrage over social injustice.

HOW KIRK DOUGLAS HELPED TO BREAK BLACKLIST
ABC’S David Muir zooms viewers in to celebrate the life of Kirk Douglas, as a Hollywood light who stood against censorship in a culture where politics was too heavy-handed and blacklist occurred from government. A friend and mentor named Robert, who is 91 and lives in Beverly Hills, once got black-listed because he worked as a journalist who would socialize with black people in Los Angeles when reporting.
He was Jewish, yet he could pass for Parsee. Robert was associated to Lena Horne‘s circle of friends, when Lena was black-listed as a communist. He was blacklisted too. They were crazy times. Robert is still a registered member of Pen America to this day, an organisation that is a global literary community dedicated to protecting free expression and celebrating literature in humane ways.
David Muir’s story goes: “In the 1950s Hollywood was consumed by the blacklist. Writers, producers and actors were called before Congress amid fear they might be Communists. The mere mention of a name was enough to end a career.
“It was the worst time in Hollywood,” Hollywood veteran Kirk Douglas told ABC News. “Everybody told me I was crazy.”
Crazy because as a producer of Spartacus Douglas put his own career on the line, his own fortune, to hire Dalton Trumbo, one of those writers on the blacklist.
“If you do it … you’ll never work in this town again. You will be declared a Communist,” Cleo Trumbo, Dalton’s wife said people told Douglas.
But Douglas, hired Dalton Trumbo anyway, and Spartacus became the top movie of the USA that year. The movie wasn’t only a box-office winner, it was also instrumental in breaking the blacklist.”
Douglas realized that within the face of Dalton Trumbo’s faceless story was his own story, that “there by the grace of God, go I.” He acted on that basis with integrity in liberty, in one pivotal action of inclusion that went beyond surface appearances of the milieu-of-the-day, thus changing history. With confidence in peace Douglas disciplined a system that had become drunk on power, elitist exclusion for personal gain and was blind to the image of itself, while being clearly unjust towards humanity. Kirk Douglas hacked the system of inequality and greed backed unjustly by a state system’s might.
The tyranny of the blacklist was broken. He was an agent of redemption, the only true firm foundation of real grace. Freedom returned, the marginalized advanced and Kirk Douglas included others more honestly with his spirit of wise compassion and fearless courage to love others as he wanted to be treated himself. He demonstrated: “there by the Grace of God, go us.”

FRANK CADY OF VINTAGE HOLLYWOOD – GREEN ACRES TV SITCOMS FAME, DIES AGED 96
Claire Noland writes for the Los Angeles Times today: “Frank Cady, 96, a character actor who played Hooterville general-store proprietor Sam Drucker on the TV sitcoms Green Acres and Petticoat Junction, died Friday at his home in Wilsonville, Ore., said his daughter, Catherine Turk. No specific cause was given.
Like Mr. Haney, Eb Dawson, Hank Kimball and Arnold the Pig, Cady’s Sam Drucker was a supporting cast member on Green Acres to lawyer Oliver Wendell Douglas and his socialite wife, Lisa, played by Eddie Albert and the beautiful and exotic, Eva Gabor, who had ditched the high life in New York City for the charms of a farm in Hooterville.
Cady played Drucker for the entire run of Green Acres on CBS, from 1965 to 1971, when it was canceled. The show continued to air for years in syndication. He also portrayed Drucker on Petticoat Junction and The Beverly Hillbillies, programs that shared some secondary characters. He reprised the role for the 1990 TV movie Return to Green Acres.
Down on the real farm in Aotearoa New Zealand, we loved Cady and cast! He made rural farming life fun on black and white TV sets, and later color TV too. RIP.

BRITNEY SPEARS STARTS JUDGES ROLE ON “X FACTOR” USA
“So excited to be going to Austin this week for @TheXFactorUSA auditions! Will I see any of y’all there on Thurs or Fri? (sic)”–Britney Spears tweeted earlier in the week.
Boston.Com seems to like the fact that Britney is speaking her mind. She is Britney! “I feel like your song was just in the wrong key,” Spears told a contestant Friday, adding that choosing a different song would have been “more interesting.” To another contestant Spears said: “Your voice is really sweet, but I feel like you need a little more training.”
Spears, 30, was brought in to help boost ratings for “The X Factor” after the American Idol and The Voice talent show rival did not do as well as show’s producer Simon Cowell had planned. Cowell turned to Spears, the former child performer to boost ratings. Brit Brit became an international star with her 1999 debut album. More here.

DIVERSIONS OF US – SOCIAL MEDIA AS UBER-CELEBRITY DISTRACTIONS
Living in Hollywood for almost five years I learned firsthand in celebrity-obsessed Los Angeles that a celebrity is:
“someone that is worthy of being celebrated,” and if you add a power level to the concept “a distraction” too.
In light of the latter meaning then, a distraction is: 1.a: diversion of the attention b: mental derangement. 2. excessive separation (as from improper traction) of fracture fragments.
In today’s world the uber-celebrities of the world providing diversion from everyday realities are social media platforms. Their ability to collate numerous celebrities and also make ‘celebrities’ of normal everyday people is impressive.

JENNIFER ANISTON’S HOLLYWOOD STAR IS AT 6270 HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD
Kurt Schlosser writes for MSNBC today, “Jennifer Aniston became the first member of the “Friends” television series to be immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”
Corinne Heller writing for On The Red Carpet, reported Jen saying, “This is crazy. I mean, literally. I mean, I walk the streets of Hollywood Boulevard,” from 6270 Hollywood Boulevard, in front of The W Hotel, where her star is located.
It must be a very surreal moment for Jen, especially when she jets up the elevator at the W for a night cap after Hollywood events.
Los Angeles CBS reports that celebrating the special moment with Aniston was her boyfried, actor Justin Theroux, her dad John (see photo) and comedic actor peers, box office heavyweight Adam Sandler, Malin Akerman and Kathryn Hahn.
Her journey in entertainment is best summed up in the titles of the projects she’s worked on. Some of them being: Molly, Ferris Bueller comedy series, The Edge comedy series for Fox, CBS’ Muddling Through, the breakthrough role - Friends, Then There Was You, Pefect Picture, Dreams For an Insomniac, She’s The One, Rock Star, The Object of My Affection, Bruce Almighty and The Good Girl. In 2004, Jen then launched into filmwork on Rumor Has It, Derailed, Friends With Money, Marley & Me, He’s Just Not That Into You, The Bounty Hunter, Love Happens, Just Go With It, The Switch and Horrible Bosses.
There’s something for everyone in Jennifer Aniston’s stellar career moves across Hollywood’s starwalk empire. Her gift to the American concept of stardom is ‘bad hair is totally unacceptable,’ if your star fades ever, ‘just throw in a batch of cute puppies,’ ’be sweet and forgiving no matter what,’ ‘don’t take yourself too seriously, as the chances are – nobody cares as much as you do,’ even when you plan, ‘hold things in your world lightly as precious gifts are always on loan.’ She also learned from the tabloid industry, ‘being cast in America’s longest running and most favorite Hollywood tabloid triangle can lead to type casting in real life - but what can you do? Just go with it.’
Most of all through the pain and joys of life, in her onscreen role as Rachel Green, Jen gifted America the concept of although it is often ’a thankless task,’ one should ‘always endeavor to be a good friend.’
–Congratulations. :)
