New York, December 19, 2007 – Despite being named on the invitation
as one of the hosts of the premiere of The Great Debaters on
Wednesday, everyone figured that Harvey Weinstein would
not actually be there – surely he must be on his honeymoon, only
five days after his wedding to
Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman. But
the happy couple showed up, beaming, at the Zeigfeld Theater, and Chapman
said that they’ve romantically put off the honeymoon for business
reasons. “Maybe in March, after the Oscars and after fashion
week, and after the BAFTAs and Golden Globes”, she said, laughing. Weinstein
must be drunk with love – he usually shuns the press, but at the
premiere, he stood surrounded by a circle of reporters and genially answered
questions. Was Harvey was a good student, like the college student
characters in The Great Debaters? “I was a good
a student, and I was also a fun guy", he told us. "I
managed to live in both worlds, like the actor in the Nate Parker role
in this movie, who’s a brilliant debater but leads a very cool
life at the same time."
