According to PATRICK MARMION, Woody Harrelson's A-lister woes

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 14, 2023
Taxi drivers in London should beware. Woody Harrelson sparked an ashtray while fleeing from the back of a taxi and was pursued by cops through Sloane Square when he was in town doing a play back in 2002. It was the subject of his 2017 film Lost in London. Now, the erstwhile hellraiser, a self-styled anarchist, marijuana missionary, and sugar-free vegan, best known for Cheers and Natural Born Killers, is back in another role alongside The Lord Of The Rings' Gollum, Andy Serkis, and Louisa Harland of Derry Girls. If you believe you can afford one of the few remaining seats (going for a shocking £120-£175), you'd better be warned that David Ireland's performance is both ostensibly and joyously insensitive. It's about a Hollywood A-lister who has been booked to appear in a West End play about a defunct Northern Irish Unionist paramilitary.

However, spare a thought for those who live just ten miles away from Richmond in Hillingdon, West London's least happiest destination out of all 218 areas. Slough in Berkshire, Bradford, Croydon in South London, and Rotherham in South Yorkshire were among the other areas on the list.

The SAG-AFTRA strike began on July 14 in Hollywood, and is the latest in a series of labor unrest in Hollywood that has resulted in the majority of movie sets grinding to a halt. The strike has brought the industry to a virtual halt, causing several film and television productions to close down, and it's the first time in more than 60 years that both actors and writers have gone on strike. The WGA strike, which culminated in writers crossing the picket line, has been going on since early May.

In a scene "straight out of Planet of the Apes," a knife-wielding monkey waving around Chester Zoo enclosure

Since being mistakenly left in an enclosure by a workman, the Sulawesi crested macaque, who was living at Chester Zoo in Cheshire, discovered the utensil and began waving it around at its fellow primates. It picked up the foldable pocket knife and was able to tear it off its enclosure before waving it about in the vicinity of its primates, who fought over it in the hopes of claiming it for themselves. The encounter was shot from behind a panel of safety glass, but the chimp smashed the device against a wall in order to reveal the blade, going so far as to claim that 'it knew exactly what it [the knife] was."

PETER HOSKIN: Precious?No, the new Gollum game is a fatally clumsy mess…

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 1, 2023
PETER HOSKIN: This game seems to be from the PlayStation 3 era, if not earlier. In a cheap knock-off of Peter Jackson's Rings movies, it appears that it is being performed by Not Andy Serkis and Not Ian McKellen. And it's like... gosh, the game is more dreadful than the Dark Lord Sauron himself. It takes the creepy-crawly stealth mechanics from excellent games - games that often have more than a game - and makes them clumsy. Imagine falling guiltlessly into the same pit again and again. Or, getting stuck on the scenery with no hope of escape. That's the point of this game. The only viable option is to listen to my in-head Gollum: gnash it, bite it, and crush it. Just don't play it.

Sabrina was effortlessly chic for their star-studded date night, sporting a black, fitted, long-sleeved dress accented with pewter bubble belt straps across her waist. Her hair was styled into a sleek bob with side parteing, and she added sphere drop earrings, winged eyeliner, and glossy lips to complete the look. The Elbas married in 2019 after Idris suggested at a screening for his film "Yardie," so they have a tradition of headline-making premieres together, and Luther's launch was definitely up there in the glam stakes.
