Over drinks in Dallas last night, my friend Karen asked who were my favorite young actors in Hollywood. Easy question for a girl who spends most weekends at the theatre, right?
I drew a blank.
I mean, I could name one or two…but a Top Ten? That required more sober consideration.
So now I present — in no particular order (because that makes my brain hurt) — my Young-ish Actors Hall of Fame;
- Ryan Gosling
- James McAvoy
- Michael Fassbender
- Ryan Reynolds
- Paul Rudd
- Adam Scott
- Daniel Radcliffe
- Robert Pattinson
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt
- Hugh Dancy
Actually, now that I look at it, the first three on the list — Gosling, Fassbender and McAvoy — would be my Top Three. As in I will see them in anything they do. And am rarely disappointed.
So, there you go, Karen.
Next question?
Most Annoying Celebrity Rag
You know how some TV show plot lines are ‘ripped from the headlines?’ I’ve decided People magazine rips theirs from any handy movie premiere calendar.
Easier than workin.’
Gwyneth is lovely — I’ll give you that. But the most beautiful woman in the world? Of all the choices in Hollywood and around the globe?
In the words of Jerry Seinfeld — speaking to his young son outside my brownstone one Saturday afternoon –
“Probably not.”
But it is far simpler — isn’t it People editorial staff — to crown Ms. Paltrow? She has Iron Man 3 coming out in a theatre near you…plus, your rival Star magazine just named her Most Hated Celebrity (which is probably more accurate).
Your advertisers are happy! Moms her age are happy! And Star has been put in its place.
Who cares if it isn’t true?
