When Carrie Fisher's mom got worried about her teenage daughter's Lsd use, she did what any concerned parent might do. "She had Cary Grant call me about my acid problem," Fisher told David Letterman on his show Tuesday night. "While I was shooting it and stuff. I tell my father the story and my father's a little vague having shot speed 13 years. It's a family tradition." Grant's involvement with Fisher's drug problem didn't end there. Fisher's dad ending up seeing him at Grace Kelly's funeral and at a loss for what to say, asked him to call his daughter again. He did. The reason Grant was the family acid expert? He once did it under doctor's supervision. "I just always want to imagine, was he in a backless gown?" said Fisher. "Was the doctor on acid? Did they do... »

Mika has revealed that he wants his private life to remain mysterious. The 'Grace Kelly' singer, who is currently in a relationship, said that he doesn't have to confirm or deny rumours about his sexuality because it is only his business. Mika told The Independent: "I'm private about my private life and I think that's an important thing. It's not necessarily retaining mystery , it's preserving yourself so you can sit down and (more) »

Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra in High Society Turner Classic Movies‘ Grace Kelly series comes to a close with a screening of the actress’ last three films: Alfred Hitchcock’s comedy-adventure To Catch a Thief (1955), co-starring Cary Grant; Charles Walters‘ musical High Society (1956), a remake of The Philadelphia Story (1940) with Kelly as the woman between Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby; and Charles Vidor’s romantic drama The Swan (1956), in which Kelly has to make up her mind between plebeian Louis Jourdan or blue-blooded Alec Guinness. I wouldn’t call any of those three films a masterpiece, but both To Catch a Thief and The Swan have their own particular charms. In the former, Grace Kelly is at her most relaxed as [...] »

The ‘Grace Kelly’ singer is currently in a relationship but doesn’t feel he has to speak about it or confirm or deny the rumours about his sexuality. He said: “I’m private about my private life and I think that’s an important thing. It’s not necessarily retaining mystery , it’s preserving yourself so you can sit down and write a song without feeling like you’ve sterilised yourself to be nice to everybody.” Mika, 26, insists he addresses his sexuality in his songs and is a more honest songwriter than most other musicians. He said in an interview with Britain’s Independent newspaper: “I discuss my sexuality in my lyrics more than anybody in pop music. There’s a way to discuss sexuality without labels. It’s not born out of fear because you don’t make music like mine if you’re operating from a position of fear, »

The ‘We Are Golden’ singer – who refuses to reveal his sexuality – says he feels like a “murderer” following the encounter with a mystery man. He said: “I emotionally killed a man. It was three weeks ago. It’s complicated. Suffice to say that I am now a murderer.” The ‘Grace Kelly’ hitmaker also revealed his 2007 hit ‘Love Today’ was written after an enjoyable sexual encounter. He said: “It came to me, fully formed, after the first time I had sleepy with someone and actually loved it.” The singer’s latest single, ‘Rain’, was written in the aftermath of a row with his then-partner and he claims the creative process was “empowering”. He explained to Britain’s The Times newspaper: “I was furious with the person I was going out with. What had they done? Nothing. That was the problem. “I wrote this nasty little nursery rhyme, and then I thought, »

Grace Kelly, Stewart Granger in Green Fire Grace Kelly is once again the focal point of Turner Classic Movies‘ Thursday evening schedule. And as far as I’m concerned, next Thursday, Nov. 19, is going to be the most interesting of the Grace Kelly evenings this month. The reason for that is simple: TCM will be showing the one Kelly feature I’ve yet to see — the Colombian-set adventure drama Green Fire (1954), co-starring Stewart Granger and Paul Douglas — and two of Kelly’s pre-stardom television vehicles that I’ve also yet to see — "The Rockingham Tea Set" (1950) and "The Kill" (1952), both made for the Studio One anthology series and both directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, best known [...] »

(S35E06) There was a strange moment of nodding recognition at the end of the night, as I watched Jason Sudeikis and January Jones in the cloud-gazing sketch. Throughout, the man pauses to consider the woman's weird behavior and then concedes, "Ohh, you're a very pretty, pretty woman." Yup. That's pretty much how I reacted the entire night, especially during really bad sketches like the farting Grace Kelly (take a moment to think about that: Farting. Grace. Kelly.)
Jones was kind of a stiff host with not particularly daring material, but, goodness gracious, her real-life 50s Barbie prettiness was mesmerizing. Her performances in the mid-century instructional video and the aforementioned cloud-gazing sketch were the best of the evening, but that's not saying much since the rest of her appearances were strange and wooden. Even her good night felt like it had been programmed in and auto-tuned for maximum polite insincerity. »

Finally, let's hear it for one-time Oscar nominees Ryan Gosling, turning 29 today, and Anne Hathaway, turning 27. Will it be tricky for them to find worthy follow ups to Half Nelson and Rachel Getting Married? Being in demand, which they both unquestionably are, is different than finding challenging three-dimensional parts. Hathaway has 10 projects somewhere on that long and volatile road to the screen the most exciting of which, from an acting standpoint, »

James Stewart, Grace Kelly in Rear Window Turner Classic Movies‘ Grace Kelly series continues this Thursday, Nov. 12, with three of Kelly’s biggest hits, all from 1954: Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, and The Country Girl. Kelly, who died in 1982 following a car accident in Monaco, would have turned 80 on Nov. 12. Some consider Dial M for Murder a minor Alfred Hitchcock effort. Personally, I find it more enjoyable than Hitchcock’s revered Rear Window. Part of the reason is a pair of deadly scissors found in the former but not in the latter; yet, I’d say that the chief reason is that neither one of Kelly’s leading men in Dial M for Murder is James Stewart. Instead, [...] »

Right at this moment, you're either gearing up for the Season 3 finale of Mad Men, you're seasons behind on DVD, or you've never seen an episode. No matter your situation I hope you got something from this "Mad Men at the Movies" series which looked at the movies referenced on the series. We'll deal with seasons 2&3 later. As you read this I am at a fab Mad Men party.
The last two episodes of the season 1 have no movie love. But in "Nixon vs. Kennedy" the jaded Don Draper we know (Jon Hamm) flashes back to meeting the original Don Draper (Troy Ruptash) who is unimpressed with the then naive young man.
Don Draper to Don Draper: What misconception travelled down the road and made you want to be here... a movie?Deliciously dizzying it is. A television series that loves the movies disses the cinema's great capacity to lie »

Grace Kelly on TCM: Part I Thanks to Kelly’s Oscar win, The Country Girl is interesting as a historical curiosity — it’s the sort of "gutsy" and "realistic" film adaptation of a respected stage play that was very popular among the filmgoing elite of the 1950s (e.g., Tea and Sympathy, A Hatful of Rain), but that I generally find both lame and artificial. Bing Crosby’s drunk is about as convincing as Kelly’s frumpish housewife (a role that should have gone to original choice Jennifer Jones), but that didn’t prevent a number of Academy members from making sure Crosby, director George Seaton, and the film itself received Academy Award nominations. Seaton, in fact, did win an Oscar for his [...] »

Stating the obvious: most people take great pleasure in idealizing their idols — which is why idols are idols. Whether we’re talking of gods, saints, prophets, or pop stars, the process is pretty much the same: flaws are expunged, deeds that never took place are turned into (at times miraculous) facts, the Pantheon of the Immortals becomes their abode following their earthly demise. (In some extreme cases — assorted gods, Elvis — the idol in question doesn’t die, period.) Grace Kelly, Turner Classic Movies’ Star of the Month, is one of the lofty ones now dwelling in the aforementioned Pantheon. True, the flesh-and-bood Philadelphia-born (Nov. 12, 1929) woman (nee Grace Patricia Kelly) may have been quite different [...] »

You always have to watch the quiet ones. So goes the rise of Joanna Krupa, a Grace Kelly-esque beauty who has risen to challenge top-seated Mya and little bit of rock n roll Donny Osmond in the season nine of ABC's .Dancing with the Stars.. The second half of the "Dancing With The Stars" will see two straight double eliminations, as two couples get the ax tonight, and two more next week. Mya and her partner Dmitry Chaplin did a speedy jitterbug that didn't light up the judges, they earned 24 points. Melissa Joan Hart and Mark Ballas performed a waltz that left the judges even colder, earning 20 points. Nimble Mark Dacascos and his partner Lacey Schwimmer did an »

Devoted wife, devout Catholic and America's very own princess, Grace Kelly was a flaxen-haired Philly girl who had the best physical attributes of her Irish and German ancestry in one perfect picture. She caught the eye of a Prince and lived happily ever after. Not entirely, but her life was publicly dissected by the marriage to Prince Rainier III of Monaco, embracing one of royal servitude and tradition, leaving behind a Hollywood legacy on film. Turner Classic Movies (TCM) announces the tribute to the Hollywood screen icon Grace Kelly to celebrate what would have been her 80th birthday. "Model, stage actress, film star and princess: Grace Kelly is fondly remembered as one of the most beautiful and »

"She definitely had a feeling for a dignified gown without sacrificing youth or charm," Vera told Brides.com of the gown, which included layers of handmade lace to add dimension. Ivanka, as reported by People, finished off her look with diamonds from her own fine-jewelry collection. Among the gems that she wore were a platinum-diamond hairpiece to accent the veil (worth $45,000), platinum mixed-cut clustered diamond earrings (worth $130,000), and an Art Deco link platinum-diamond bra.
Ivanka Trump married Jared Kushner, who works as the publisher of the New York Observer, on Sunday afternoon, October 25 in front of 500 family and friends. Among the A-list guests were Russell Crowe, »

Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka customized her breathtaking wedding gown with the help of Vera Wang -- "The Insider" talks with the sought-after designer to hear the inspiration behind the bride's dream dress. Wang says the design of Ivanka's dress was taken from Grace Kelly's gown that she wore when she wed Prince Rainier III in 1956. The designer describes her rendition of the historic dress as "majestic" and "demure." "For Ivanka's wedding, she very definitely wanted to be covered," Wang tells "The Insider" of the bride's dress request. "It hearkened back to another time which is incredibly romantic." The dress was extremely intricate, with three different tiers of hand-appliquéd lace that were different shades of ivory. "Ivanka is very hands on in her life. ... She was quite precise on what she wished to convey," Wang tells "The Insider." The designer attended the wedding and described the ceremony, saying, "It was beautiful in its subtlety. »

Socialite Ivanka Trump refused to take it easy on the morning of her wedding - she completed a punishing hike before walking down the aisle with Jared Kushner.
The daughter of tycoon Donald Trump and his ex-wife Ivana exchanged vows with her beau in a traditional Orthodox Jewish ceremony at her father's golf club in New Jersey on Sunday.
But channelling Grace Kelly in a handmade gown came at a price - Trump kept up with her work-outs right up until the morning of the ceremony.
On her Twitter.com blog, she wrote, "Just finished a gorgeous hike. The leaves are spectacular and the sun is shining. Everything is simply perfect! I'm getting married today!"
Trump, who works for her father, was given away by the The Apprentice star in front of 500 guests, which included U.S. TV host Regis Philbin, who performed a song at the reception. »
