Honeymooning
With Harvey Weinstein at The Great Debaters Premiere |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||

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." |

Michael
Lohan Preaches in Times Square Nativity Scene |

New York, December 18, 2007 – Lindsay Lohan’s father Michael Lohan donned a keffeya and sat on straw in the middle of freezing cold New York City on Tuesday evening – he was playing Joseph in something called the “2nd annual Times Square Nativity Scene”. When someone suggested adding a nip of alcohol to the cup of coffee in his hand, Lohan, who spent time in jail for, among other things, DUI, quipped, “The last time I did that, I ran into a telephone pole”. We’d received numerous press releases touting the photo op, which lacked explanation for the whole thing. It turns out that the Times Square Nativity Scene is put on by Project Dance, which is involved in “faith-based arts movements”, according to their Web site. Michael Lohan reportedly found religion while in prison. Evangelists and local church members joined Lohan at the Nativity scene. |

Chuck
Norris Kicks Up Support for Huckabee, Richardson Goes it Alone in New
Hampshire |

Littleton, New Hampshire, December 15, 2007 – OAN was in lovely New Hampshire yet again this weekend, following presidential hopefuls stumping on the campaign trail. We felt a bit sad for Democrat Bill Richardson, because he didn’t have a celebrity spokesperson in tow. The New Mexico governor quipped that he wishes Oprah Winfrey had backed him instead of Barack Obama. As a voter, can you imagine anything more persuasive than finding Chuck Norris and Mike Huckabee squeezed into a booth at your local diner? Yes, the people of Littleton, NH were that lucky on Saturday, when Republican Huckabee brought along the politically astute martial arts movie star to generate excitement. Asked if he could take Norris in a fight, Huckabee said no way, and quoted Clint Eastwood’s famous line from Magnum Force, “A man’s got to know his limitations”. |
