Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir review – Paris Hilton’s act of self-love shows there’s nothing behind the mask

-
A look behind the scenes of the star’s second album turns out to reveal exactly what you’d expect, at arduous length Paris Hilton here presents us with an unbearable act of docu-self-love, avowedly a behind-the-scenes study of her second studio album, Infinite Icon, and where she’s at as a musician, survivor and mom. But maybe there is, in fact, nothing behind the scenes; judging by this, the scenes are all there is: Insta-exhibitionism, empty phrases and show. Hilton’s second album no doubt has its admirers and detractors, and her fans are perfectly happy with it. But this film, for which she is executive producer, is an indiscriminate non-curation of narcissism and torpid self-importance that seems to go on and on and on for ever; the longest two hours of anyone’s life, finally signing off with a splodge of uninteresting and unedited concert footage.

Aubrey Plaza Discloses That She Played A Fake Pie-Filled Italian Custom On Her ‘Spin Me Round’ Casting

-
Aubrey Plaza proved that her years of playing April, the resident prankster on Parks and Recreation, were worth it when she pulled a major prank on her castmates in Italy while filming the movie Spin Me Round. "I pretty much made up a very little phoney Italian custom," Plaza admitted to PEOPLE during a private screening of the movie at the London Hotel in West Hollywood. The movie was directed by Plaza's husband, Jeff Baena, who also co-wrote the script with star Alison Brie. "After you shoot in Italy, they have a tradition where you get pied in the face when you picture-wrap," I told every actor. Plaza was able to persuade her co-stars, including Brie, Molly Shannon, Fred Armisen, Debby Ryan, Ego Nwodim, and Ayden Mayeri, that a made-up tradition was true and that they should each anticipate getting a pie in the face after filming was finished. "Is that true?" asked every actor. Yes, that's what the Italians do, I say, "Plaza clarified. "I then made a firm commitment to doing that. And I basically planned a pie for each actor. No matter how long the day had been or how worn out the performers were, we had 11 or 12 of them in the film. A f—-ing pie was thrown in each of their faces. And now I'm going to make it a thing, so it'll keep!" Brie claims she was astounded by how successful and contagious Plaza's prank turned out to be. Everyone adored it and was afraid of it, she joked. "It took on fairly quick." "So every time the day came when the next person was going to wrap, it was like everybody knew that the pieing was coming, and we had to be increasingly cunning about how we would pie them," says the author.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
