Nicolas Cage: ‘I don’t think a day goes by where I’m not mistaken for Nick Cave’

-
As psycho-thriller The Surfer is released, the actor answers your questions about eating rats, loving pickled eggs and scaring Terry Wogan What do you remember of that appearance on Wogan? What was Terry like in real life? Have you still got that leather jacket, and the snakeskin jacket from Wild at Heart? johnnysmooth, EddieChorepost and BigAl65 I remember Terry Wogan was a very nice man and I enjoyed the interview with him, although I thought I was both obnoxious and somewhat wild. I guess it’s no secret that I was promoting a movie called Wild at Heart , so I was sort of play acting to that. I remember, as a child, I was in a car, a guy was walking down the street, and he had a leather jacket on and no shirt on underneath. I thought: “Well, that’s an interesting look.” I don’t know why that came back to me when I went on Terry’s show, but I thought: “I’m going to create that look again.” It was incredibly absurd and irreverent. I don’t have that leather jacket any more. I found...

NeNe Leakes Decided Not To Pursue Her Case For Discrimination Against Andy Cohen, Bravo, And NBC

-
NeNe Leakes has, at least temporarily, abandoned her lawsuit alleging discrimination towards Andy Cohen, Bravo, NBC Universal, the network's parent company, and the production company True Entertainment. The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" veteran, 54, petitioned on Friday to drop the lawsuit "without prejudice," which means she has the right to revive it at a later date, according to legal papers acquired by Page Six. Leakes' representatives refused Page Six's request for comment on a potential plan of action. According to the records, the parties to the lawsuit have decided not to "sue recovery of costs or attorneys' fees" in the interim. The case's resolution typically involves two months after a Page Six article in June said that Leakes had been in talks with Bravo, 54-year-old Cohen, and NBC Universal about settling their dispute without going to trial. In the past, the defendants have claimed that a clause in one of their contracts stipulated that any disagreements between them would be "subject to arbitration" in New York. Georgia is the location of the recently dismissed lawsuit. Leakes "disagreed" at the time with the idea of arbitration, according to the motion, but both parties were "in the midst of addressing this issue in an attempt to avoid the time and expense of a request to compel arbitration" through their respective counsel, it was noted. Leakes has persisted in implying on social media that she sticks by her assertions ever since. In the midst of the continuing lawsuit, she attacked "abusers" and people who "desire power over their victims" in July. "What they did to me can be seen by everyone! The former "Fashion Police" co-host responded to fans at the time by tweeting, "Nobody is stupid! Additionally, she asserted, "This treatment has been ongoing for yearsss!" Then, just two weeks ago, it seemed like Leakes was aiming at Cohen. She said on Twitter that "he prevented me from working because I was a threat to his career." Yet he continued to mistreat me for years.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
