Most celebrities brought one or two guests — her crew was inappropriately large.” Oh, and BTW: “She looked completely out of it.” [Gatecrasher]

Take notes?” Kate answers: “I arrived late because of the whole volcano thing, missed the inaugural dinner and all that. And I just thought, ‘Oh shit, everyone’s going to have done their homework but me.’ I was going to ask that: Are we supposed to take notes or is that going to piss people off when they look over and see me writing? I think I probably will. It’s a lot of films: two a day.” [New York Mag]

- Q: Glee seems to be the first TV show to have extended interest in the musical from the boards to people’s living rooms. Are you a fan? Patti LuPone: “Absolutely! Hopefully this will want to make [audiences] go to a Broadway musical. I think it’s really terrific.” Q: What about the proliferation of competition shows to determine who will be the next big pop star or ballroom dancer? Patti LuPone: Oh, those I hate. Look at poor Susan Boyle. It’s a very difficult profession. And it’s insulting to the people who have trained for a discipline — acting and singing are crafts and disciplines. It’s also, especially American Idol, so derivative. They all sound like somebody who’s already famous. And Dancing With the Stars is pathetic. If you’re going to have a competition, have it with real dancers. Show me some real talent.” [Variety]
- “I just celebrate who she was. She was like the person who walked in the room and she was always the first person to dance. You know when you go to a party and everybody is standing around, and the music is going — and you know sooner or later everyone is going to dance. She was always the first person to dance. And I just try to connect to that and celebrate who she was and how she was, and not make sense of it, ’cause there is no sense of making sense of it.” — Ashton Kutcher on his ex-girlfriend, Brittany Murphy. [ONTD]
- “I had a general meeting with him. We hit it off a little bit, and it went from there. But I didn’t think I’d be playing a priest.” — Colin Hanks, on working with Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner in the past. [USA Today]
- “I didn’t want to celebrate a culture of wealth. But after the crash, all bets were off. It was a triple bypass. This is serious. It’s time to come back. It had to be done.”— Oliver Stone, on Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. [The Wrap]
- “I’ve always wanted to be a rock star, if just because of the sexiness of it. But I’m far too self-conscious. I’m much happier being a comedian who’s sexy and a bit rock-and-roll rather than the most gauche, awkwardly embarrassing rock star in history. You can’t be a rock star if you’re too aware of how ridiculous it is. You can’t be ironic about it. When we did that concert I felt legitimately sexy in that moment. It was only later I thought, What was I thinking, thrusting my hips in that way and snarling?” — Russell Brand. [Playboy]
- “Living on top of the whole scene had its advantages. ‘Happy’ epitomized that. One afternoon, Jimmy Miller [the producer] was on drums and Bobby Keys on baritone sax, but that was about it. The guys didn’t usually start work until after dark. I said: ‘Look, I’ve got this idea. Can we just lay it down for later?’ By the time the rest of the band arrived, I’d done a few overdubs and we had finished the track. I’d captured it before anybody else knew it existed. I play ‘Happy’ quite a lot. It’s not usually my genre. I’m not known for happy and joyful stuff. I’m probably more aligned to Lucifer and the dark side. But it was a damn good afternoon and I still love it.” — Keith Richards. [Independent]
- “When I go [to concerts and festivals] I try to blend in as much as I can but sometimes it can be a bit difficult. I usually get drunken people shouting things at me. At [one show] I thought I’d be clever and wear a horse costume as a disguise, but this attracted more attention and someone even picked me up off the floor for a joke. I realize now that I’m always going to get recognized wherever I go, so I just have to deal with it. Needless to say, I’m not going to be wearing a horsey disguise again any time soon.” — Harry Potter star Rupert Grint. [Telegraph]
- “The first time I got onstage was when I was about 5 years old. It was at a church social, and I had a poem to recite. I had on a little white sailor suit, and my nose started bleeding. I went up to make my speech, and I put one finger there to stop the bleeding and said, ‘If you don’t like the looks of me, you can look some other way.’ I’ve never had stage fright since.” — Willie Nelson. [Time]
- Q: What helps you get through difficult times in life? Willie Nelson: “Positive thinking. Believing that it’s going to be O.K. And so far it has been. Why bitch about anything? You’re not hungry. You’re not cold. Neither am I. We’re not sick. So everything is fine. If you continue to live in the now, then things will be O.K.” [Time]
- “Someone asked at the press conference about why are there no female directors and I don’t know. I’ve only ever worked with one – but hopefully this year it will make three. I wish there were more. It’s important to have a female sensibility in the movies.” — Kate Beckinsale. [New York Mag]
