PB: Out & About (II)
Post by admin on Jan 27, 2004, 6:04pm

OK the last topic PB: Out & About (I) "broke" but with 95 replies and 7 pages it had a good life cycle. It can still be read, it just can't be posted to.

I'll start this one off with one of the last posts of the old topic just because well it's always nice to start with something gorgeous to look at.

SF Gate: Dressed To Kill: Stars knock 'em dead in colors that look like spring

Most of the men soundly rejected bow ties this time, favoring white shirts and black ties with their tux jackets, the way Michael Douglas and Bill Murray did; there was a smattering of silver ties (Pierce Brosnan looked suave in a silvery blue tie). There were only a couple of holdouts for the all-black look chosen by Tim Robbins, who looked more boyish than usual in his crew cut. "Queer Eye's'' Carson Kressley, not surprisingly, pushed the envelope in a pale pink tux jacket, and looked adorable.

Irish Echo: Champagne budget, beer taste

By Eileen Murphy
Jan 14-20, 2004

Not to sound like a martyr, but while the rest of you spend your free time watching TV fluff-fests like "60 Minutes" and "World News Tonight," I focus on the network that reports the really important news: "E! Entertainment Television."

In addition to being the only major network with its own punctuation mark built right in -- you missed your chance there, Mr. Murdoch -- the channel never wastes time on trivia. Iraq? Earthquake? Recession? The E!xictable network prefers to toss those babies to MSNBC. This gives them more time for Anna Nicole Smith's diet tips and "Baywatch: Behind the Jiggle."

This week's fun news tidbit, gleaned from the channel's "Celebrity Perks" show, features "007" star Pierce Brosnan and his interaction with bartenders the world over. The actor told E! that whenever he goes into a pub, the person behind the bar almost always offers him a martini -- shaken, not stirred. Of course. But Pierce differs from his finicky screen alter ego in his choice of beverages. "I just tell them to give me a beer," he laughed. Preferably one that's unshaken.

===================================

Now is this technically out and about... well he discusses his experiences being out and about at bars around the world...

Star is Born Cocktail Honors Berlin International Film Festival

Feb 02, 04 | 11:53 am

Hollywood moves to Berlin February 5-15 for the 54th “Berlinale,” the annual Berlin International Film Festival. Inevitably, the stars will converge on The Adlon, Germany’s most prestigious hotel, to sleep, dine or just to carouse in The Adlon Lobby Lounge and Bar, first immortalized on screen in the 1932 smash-hit, GRAND HOTEL, starring John Barrymore, Greta Garbo and Joan Crawford. It was in The Adlon of GRAND HOTEL that Garbo uttered the immortal line, “I want to be alone.”

In honor of the 2004 festival, The Adlon’s Lobby Bar has created a special cocktail: “A Star Is Born,” blending Southern Comfort and Apricot Brandy with Moët and Chandon Champagne. “For me, the Berlinale is a special highlight every February, since many Hollywood stars visit our bar,” says Adlon bar tender, Franz Höckner. “I always admire the informality and casualness of the famous people the world idolizes,” says Höckner, “as they order an espresso, a Bellini or an alcohol-free cocktail, just like our regular visitors!” The “A Star is Born” cocktail will be served throughout the eleven days of the festival. “But, for instance,” Höckner comments, “it’s not something everyone will be ordering.

For instance, Pierce Brosnan - as himself and not James Bond - prefers our alcohol-free ‘Florida’ cocktail to Bond’s fabled ‘Martini: Shaken, not Stirred.’”

The Adlon Kempinski is Berlin’s most legendary, luxurious and honored hotel. Opened by the Kaiser in 1907, and reopened by the President of Germany in 1997, The Adlon is located at the head of Unter den Linden, across the Pariser Platz from the legendary Brandenburg Gate.

Talented Young British Filmmakers Honoured at Star-Studded National Awards Ceremony

News Release
Wednesday 25 February 2004, 12:00 GMT

LONDON, February 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Films involving werewolves, Martians, a bike bandit and a girl haunted by her school report amongst the winners of Lottery-funded film awards

The UK's future filmmakers were today honoured at the 2004 young people's `First Light Film Awards' ceremony held in London's Leicester Square.

The ceremony, which was hosted by T4 presenter June Sarpong, was attended by young filmmakers from across the UK and stars including Dougray Scott (Enigma, Mission Impossible 2, and To Kill a King), Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense, Peter Pan), and Oscar(R)-winning director Sir Alan Parker CBE, as well as Culture Minister the Rt Hon Richard Caborn MP. The awards celebrate shining examples of digital short films made by 7 to 18 year olds through the UK Film Council's Lottery-funded programme, First Light.

Award presenters also included Sanjeev Bhaskar (TV's The Kumars at No 42), and Alex Zane (MTV and XFM presenter). The jurors responsible for selecting the winners were made up of famous names from the world of film including Pierce Brosnan, Kenneth Branagh, Ray Winstone, Emma Watson (from the Harry Potter films), Jamie Bell, John Hannah, Sophie Okenedo, Christopher Eccleston, Vinnie Jones and Oscar-nominated Samantha Morton.

The winning films tell a range of stories, including the tale of a mysterious school thief; a group of friends who take revenge on a bike bandit; a day in the life of a child ignored by his peers; a Jekyll and Hyde meets Romeo and Juliet tale; a girl haunted by her terrible school report; schoolchildren who befriend sherbet-making Martians; a look at the bleak life of a young delinquent; a group of teenagers who set off into the woods in search of a werewolf and a look at the public perception of asylum seekers and refugees.

The winners in each of the nine categories were:

Best Silent Film - The Freak (Cape Cornwall School, Penzance)

With hints of Jekyll and Hyde, mixed with a little Romeo and Juliet, this film was made by a group of 14 young filmmakers, who are aged between 11 and 13 years old. The budget was just over GBP13,100.

Best Animation - Spaced Out (Leeds Animation Partnership, Leeds)

This short film shows that friendship triumphs over all - even sherbet-making Martians. Made by a large crew, of 36 children, spanning from 9 to 18 years old, the overall expenditure was just over GBP7,600.

Best Documentary - Seeking (The Living Archive, Milton Keynes)

With relevant content to today's society and informed interviews this short film explores the public perception of asylum seekers and refugees. The six filmmakers, aged 16 to 18, speak English as their second language. This film was made on a budget of approximately GBP12000.

Best Live Action - Black Tiger (Big State Theatre Company, Trowbridge)

When the star of the film's bike is stolen, his friends join together to take their revenge. Made with a crew of 12 young people between the ages of 10 and 16, the film was produced on a budget of GBP7,000.

Best Comedy - Report (Writing on The Wall Festival 2003, Liverpool)

In this surreal silent comedy the star is haunted by her terrible school report. With a budget of GBP12,000, an 11 strong crew produced the film, their ages ranging from 16 to 18.

Best Film by Under 12's Category - Nobody Returns (Rapid Eye Movies, London)

13 young people aged 8 and 9 made this film about a mysterious person who keeps stealing things from their school. Produced on a budget of GBP9,651.

Best Film by Over 13's - Gearhead (Knowle West Media Centre and Picture This, Bristol)

Made by four young people, between the ages of 14 and 16, this film depicts the bleak day-to-day cycle of crime of a young addict. Gearhead was written and produced on a budget of just over GBP7,000.

Best Screenplay - Invisible (Valley Community Theatre, Liverpool)

This black and white film involved 29 young filmmakers, aged between 14 and 17, and depicts a day in the life of a child ignored by his peers. The project was completed on a budget of just over GBP4,900.

Best Horror - Cry Wolf (Young People Speak Out, Edinburgh)

This film was made on a budget of just over GBP4,600. The group of four 15 year olds, some of whom are young offenders, have produced this film, telling the tale of a group of teenagers who set off into the woods in search of a werewolf.

Over 6,500 young people have taken part in the First Light scheme to date, producing more than 400 films about their lives and issues that affect them. First Light was launched by the UK Film Council in May 2001 and, managed by Birmingham-based Hi8us, gives young people the chance to learn filmmaking skills such as scripting, acting, shooting, producing and editing. The value of the First Light initiative and the high quality of films made through it was highlighted in a number of messages and speeches.

Giving the opening address, Culture Minister the Rt Hon Richard Caborn MP said: "It's wonderful to see that thanks to the Lottery-funded First Light programme potential Oscar-winners of the future are getting their chance to turn their ideas and imagination into stories on the screen.

"These films are a wonderful example of a positive pay-off from Lottery investment.

"The UK film industry has produced world-renowned creative and technical talent. First Light film-makers from across the UK have shown that they have those talents in abundance."

Speaking at the ceremony Sir Alan Parker said: "The UK has produced some of the finest filmmakers in the world, and if we are to have a successful UK film industry in the future then we need to be developing tomorrow's talents today.

"If a kid's going to a multiplex and they're seeing all these films, they're observing someone else's work, with First Light they can actually do it for themselves, they can actually get involved and see that they too can also be creative.

"Despite having little or no previous experience of filmmaking, these young people have produced many extremely high quality films, and they can be extremely proud of the result of their efforts."

Messages broadcast at the ceremony included Richard Curtis (Writer of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, and writer/director of Love Actually):

"Aside from people turning into filmmakers who get nominated for BAFTAs, I think one of the brilliant things about young people making films is that it teaches them to be interested in their own lives. I would always advise a young filmmaker to make a film about their own lives, about the things they actually know about. I think that's the prime quality to get you through life."

Duncan Kenworthy (Producer of 28 Days Later, Notting Hill, Living with Dinosaurs) says, "How wonderful it would have been and how wonderful it is now, you can offer children the ages of 7 to 18 the opportunity to make their own films. And obviously not everyone who has the opportunity through First Light is going to end up making movies, but some of them will. After all, I mean Spielberg started when he was 11 making films - how wonderful it would be if we found the new Spielberg, the British Spielberg."

Emma Watson (Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films), adds, "I judged the comedy category and I have to say I was so pleased to be picked as a judge. I've never done anything like it before and when I saw the films I was so surprised, they were so good. I couldn't believe it had come from people my age, the actresses, the camera, all the different ideas, the script. Some of them had been really, really clever with how they'd used the camera, they faded some bits out, they'd cut different bits in and out and I was really amazed with how excellent they were - I was really surprised."

Notes to Editors:

1. Digital stills, extracts and copies of the winning films are available from the UK Film Council Press Office.

2. First Light was launched in May 2001 to fund and inspire the making of short digital films, reflecting the diversity of young people's lives. First Light is an initiative supported by the UK Film Council with Lottery funding and managed by Hi8us First Light Limited.

3. The UK Film Council is the lead agency for film in the UK ensuring that the economic, cultural and educational aspects of film are effectively represented at home and abroad. We invest Government grant-in-aid and Lottery money in film development and production; training; international development and export promotion; distribution and exhibition; and education. Our aim is to deliver lasting benefits to the industry and the public alike through:

- creativity - encouraging the development of new talent, skills, and creative and technological innovation in UK film and assisting new and established film-makers to produce successful and distinctive British films;

- enterprise - supporting the creation and growth of sustainable businesses in the film sector, providing access to finance and helping the UK film industry compete successfully in the domestic and global marketplace;

- imagination - promoting education and an appreciation and enjoyment of cinema by giving UK audiences access to the widest range of UK and international cinema, and by supporting film culture and heritage.

Press Release Source: Motion Picture & Television Fund: The Second Annual 'Night Before' Fundraiser Brings Celebrities and Industry Leaders Together for the Benefit of the Motion Picture & Television Fund

Sunday February 29, 2:46 am ET

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The second annual "Night Before" event to benefit the Motion Picture & Television Fund (MPTF) raised $3.5 million dollars -- $1 million dollars more than last year's inaugural event. This year's event was again held at the Beverly Hills Hotel on the eve of the Academy Awards®.

The casual, fun-filled party drew a star-studded guest list, headed up by members of the host committee, including: Jennifer Aniston, Kate Capshaw and Steven Spielberg, Courtney Cox and David Arquette, Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks, Renee Zellweger, and Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas. Joining them were such luminaries as Oprah Winfrey, Clint Eastwood, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Will Smith, Jude Law, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, Kevin Spacey, Elton John, Ben Stiller, Marsha Gay Harden, Patricia Clarkson, Alec Baldwin, Ben Kingsley, Holly Hunter, Jack Black, Martin Short, Donald Trump, Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Sylvester Stallone, Kim Catrall, Kristen Davis, Camryn Manheim, Sean Hayes, Megan Mullally, Pierce Brosnan, Amber Tamblyn, Bonnie Hunt and many more.

Also taking part in the benefit were such corporate leaders as The Coca-Cola Company, Hewlett-Packard, Ford Motor Company, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Reed Elsevier. All proceeds raised at the "Night Before" go directly to benefit the Motion Picture & Television Fund.

In 2003, the Beverly Hills Hotel provided the inaugural "Night Before" benefit a little piece of history when, for the first time ever, it decked over the pool for the event. This year, history repeated itself as the hotel's pool area was decked out and over.

Jeffrey Katzenberg, Chairman MPTF Foundation Board of Directors, said, "Once again, the management and staff of the Beverly Hills Hotel have come through for the Motion Picture & Television Fund, creating the perfect setting for our benefit. We truly couldn't do it without them, or without the cooperation and support of the city of Beverly Hills. I also want to add my thanks to our illustrious host committee, whose names have been at the forefront of this fundraiser's success."

Ken Scherer, CEO of the MPTF Foundation, noted, "MPTF Community Services experienced a significant increase in client contacts in 2003. The proceeds from the Night Before event and other generous donors allowed MPTF to add social workers and provide more direct care and support to a record number of industry workers who are turning to the Fund at the most critical times of need.

"We are grateful to all those who give back to our industry through their support of MPTF. And we are particularly grateful to our corporate partners, Coca-Cola, Ford, Hewlett-Packard, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Reed Business/Variety, for their generous leadership commitment to the 'Night Before.'"

In addition to the remarkable celebrity turnout, the following corporate sponsors had an important presence at the benefit:

Reed Elsevier:

Reed Elsevier, a world leading publisher and information provider, took on a sponsorship role in the second annual "Night Before" event to benefit the MPTF. With principal operations in North America and Europe, Reed Elsevier operates in the scientific, legal, educational and business-to-business sectors, providing high value and flexible information solutions to professional end users, with increasing emphasis on internet delivery. They are also the parent company to numerous publications, including Variety. As a souvenir of an already stellar evening, a complimentary copy of Variety's popular lifestyle publication, VLife(TM), was placed in each car at the valet check-in.

Jim Casella, CEO Reed Business Information, commented, "MPTF and Variety are both longstanding Hollywood institutions. The people who benefit from MPTF's services are also a large part of our readership, so we are proud to support the Fund's efforts in every way possible."

Hewlett-Packard:

Hewlett-Packard and fellow sponsor Variety teamed to give guests a special photo keepsake of the occasion. With the help of HP's latest digital imaging technology, guests could get their photo taken holding a customized issue of Variety, in a take-off of its Trendsetters campaign.

As they did last year, HP also enabled guests at the benefit to send personalized e-mails via HP Tablet PCs to former motion picture and television employees who reside at the MPTF hospital and retirement communities.

Carly Fiorina, HP Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "HP is delighted to assist in connecting those who have committed their livelihood to advancing the inventive spirit of the film industry."

Coca-Cola:

Providing refreshments throughout the evening, Coca-Cola served up their newest flavor, Diet Coke with Lime, at the Coca-Cola cabana. In keeping with their ad campaign for the new soft drink -- "Put the lime in the coconut and shake it all up" -- their booth had a distinctly tropical theme and the Diet Coke with Lime was served in coconuts by waiters in tropical shirts.

Steven J. Heyer, President and Chief Operating Officer of The Coca-Cola Company stated: "As a company that has operations in more than 200 countries around the world, The Coca-Cola Company has an ongoing commitment to give back to the communities where we do business. We know the Motion Picture & Television Fund shares this commitment, as it has been providing support to members of the entertainment community for more than 80 years. We applaud them for their efforts, and for inspiring this special evening."

Ford Motor Company:

Joining the sponsor roster for the first time this year, Ford created a custom racing game exclusively for the "Night Before" that added fun and excitement to the event. Two competitors at a time could sit in the driver's seat of a replica of Ford's new hybrid car and take over the controls to race each other on a route projected on a plasma screen. Befitting the timing of the party, the object of the race was the Oscar® ceremonies, with the start on Mulholland Drive and the Finish Line at the Kodak Theatre. In addition to the mock car, an actual hybrid model was also on display in the Valet drop-off area for guests to check out.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts:

With all the delicious food being served at the event, guests hopefully saved room for some dessert, courtesy of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. At the Krispy Kreme booth, guests could throw calorie and carb concerns to the wind and sample such treats as a doughnut ice cream sundae, or s'mores, made with cake doughnuts. And to end the night on a sweet note, a sample box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts was placed in everyone's cars.

Scott Livengood, Chairman, President and CEO of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, said, "Krispy Kreme is pleased to take part in the 'Night Before' event and contribute to the important work of the Motion Picture & Television Fund. It is one of the year's most exciting events, because it serves the greater purpose of raising awareness and extending the reach of health and human services to those who have given so much to the entertainment industry-many of them behind the scenes and in supporting roles. I commend Jeffrey Katzenberg and the MPTF team for their continued work for such a wonderful cause."

Reebok:

For the second year in a row, Reebok created an on-site "store," where guests were invited to choose from a variety of styles of Reebok shoes. At the end of the evening the complimentary shoes were ready for pick up in the style and size selected.

The "Night Before" event was coordinated by Robyn Leuthe and designed by Walter Hubert of Silver Birches. The Beverly Hills Hotel provided the catering.

About MPTF:

For 82 years, The Motion Picture & Television Fund has served the entertainment industry as its foremost provider of health and human services. The mission of the organization is to enrich the lives of people in the industry through health care, children's day care, social and charitable services, and, retirement and residential services offered with compassion and respect for the dignity of each person.

Fox news: 'A'-List Celebrates 'Lord of the Rings'

Sunday, February 29, 2004
By Roger Friedman

The hottest party of the night? How about the big shindig at the home of New Line Cinema's Bob Shaye. This mansion on the hill has a huge lawn which a huge circus tent was erected over a six-day period. Then furniture and rugs were brought in to decorate the big top, and the rest is history.

I would say it was the house that "Lord of the Rings" built, but really it's more likely a benefit of the original AOL-Time Warner merger a couple of years ago. Nevertheless, the beautiful home, full of staggeringly real art and views of the City of Angels, was able to accommodate several hundred guests last night who came to celebrate hobbits and hermits (think Harvey Pekar, subject of "American Splendor." )

Dining on food cooked by Wolfgang Puck (who was there, wearing his stained toque) was quite an assemblage of this town's bold-faced names. The list begins with "Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson and three of the series' stars: Liv Tyler (who brought dad Steven, of Aerosmith fame, and husband Royston Langdon), John Rhys-Davies, and Sean Astin. You could go all the way from that worthy group to the completely ridiculous: Paris Hilton, who on Friday had managed to be the first adult porno queen to appear on a "family" sitcom on ABC's TGIF (George Lopez Show). And there was no ten-minute delay!

From there, you name it, starting with two James Bonds under the same tent: Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan. There was Hollywood royalty, like Shirley MacLaine, Omar Sharif, Michelle Phillips, and Michael York, plus two members of the original Godfather cast, Robert Duvall and James Caan.

And then, just a stupefying gang of famous faces everywhere you turned: Penny Marshall, Julianne Moore, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, Bob Newhart, Monty Python's Eric Idle, Brendan Fraser, Peter Gallagher, John Waters, photographer Peter Beard, "Star Caps" diva Nikki Haskell, "Elf" star Will Farrell and director Jon Favreau, Michael "Kramer" Richards, Chad Lowe and Academy Award-winning wife Hilary Swank, Geena Davis, Rebecca De Mornay, Harvey Keitel, Sela Ward, Cheech Marin, writer/director Mike Binder, Robert Englund, and "American Splendor" stars Paul Giamatti and Hope Davis.

Shaye (and partner Michael Lynne) didn't leave out the new generation of actors, though. I ran into TV's Amber Tamblyn (from "Joan of Arcadia" ), Jason Ritter (son of the late John), "Angel" star David Boreanz, and our pal Troy Garity, who steals "Barbershop 2," and is on the cusp of breaking out big time from his roles in "Bandits" and "Soldier's Girl" (he was nominated for a Golden Globe and a Spirit Award).

The New Liners had their share of corporate titans, too, starting Time Warner chief Richard Parsons, as well as Ted Turner, Sir Howard Stringer, Les Moonves, and HBO Films' Colin Callender.

Pierce, 50, squeezed into the mini motor beside son Paris, three, at Disneyland, California.

They trundled round the circuit, pursued by his wife Keeley Shaye Smith, 39, and other son Dylan, six.

It does; and it looks like he has a goatee, too. And don't tell me he cut his hair for the funeral. Please, tell me he didn't cut it for Matador, though!

And methinks with this haircut he could use an ear cut as well, at least on those pictures.

Re: PB: Out & About (II)
Post by admin on Mar 8, 2004, 5:53pm

Considering that The Matador begins shooting in about 3 weeks, whether he cut it for the film or not it will be short for it.

Really, better to cut your hair early for a role, so just in case it's a tad too short you can grow it out a bit.

Luton's special 'bond' with St Patrick

Irish get set for a nine-day craic

Music, dancing and Pierce Brosnan are on the bill for Luton's fifth St Patrick's Day festival.

The nine-day long celebrations begin tomorrow and are being organised by the Luton Irish Forum.

Forum member Joe Ward said: "This is the biggest festival outside of Birmingham and London in the whole country."

The week's centrepiece will be the St Patrick's Day Parade, which marches through the town centre on Sunday, March 14.

The parade will be decked with banners and flags of all 32 Irish counties, and flanked by stilt walkers, marching bands, line dancers, and the Luton University pipe band. It starts at 11am on Manor Road, while the day's celebrations will have a main stage at Market Hill.

A second stage at Smith's Square in the Arndale Centre will also have music and dancing throughout the day, and an Irish market will run from Market Hill to George Street selling Irish food and arts and craft.

On Saturday March 13 there is the Grand St Patrick's Ball at the Holy Ghost Centre, with music from the Brose Walsh band and dancing from the Abbeyknockmoy set dancers.

The Arndale Centre first hosts Luton Alive - Alive-O, a mixture of music, song, dance and laughter on Sunday March 14 from 11am.

And on St Patrick's Day it houses a three-hour show of Irish dancing and music.

The Library Theatre is the base of the final three nights, beginning with Thursday March 18 movie screenings of Agnes Browne, and the Pierce Brosnan flick Evelyn.

From 8pm on Friday March 19 there will be a combination of music and dance, featuring Celtica dancers, a harpist, and folk music.

And the week concludes with the theatrical drama The Rare Oul' Times, about the playwright Brendan Behan and poet Paddy Kavanagh, beginning at 7pm on Saturday, March 20.

Sounds quite fun, although by March 19 they'll be into St. Joseph's Day, which some girls I used to know celebrated more than St. Patrick's Day, they said because their heritage was Italian. (What connection does St. Joseph have with Italy?)

You can get Julianne's hair color courtesy of L'Oreal (I believe that's who she does ads for) , though it's harder to achieve and maintain when you don't start off with the right base not to mention skin color. 8-)

PB's mustache, looks like he's attempting to twirl it in one photo... maybe he needs the look for tying someone to railway tracks in his next film.

'Bond' stirred by Dylan's old haunt
icWales.com

JAMES BOND could soon be swapping his trademark Martini for a traditional pint of Welsh bitter.

The modern face of 007 has been seen on covert operations, gathering intelligence on an historic West Wales pub.

Pierce Brosnan, the actor who currently plays the world-famous secret agent, was spotted doing some spying of his own recently - checking out Brown's Hotel in Laugh- arne, Carmarthenshire, which is up for auction next month.

The hotel is famous as Dylan Thomas's favoured watering hole, and provided some of the inspiration for characters in Under Milk Wood.

Now it seems Dylan Thomas fanatic Brosnan wants to buy his own slice of history, as landlord Tommy Watts, 72, prepares for retirement.

The Hollywood A-list star is among several celebrities rumoured to be interested in buying the pub, says Mr Watts.

He is a big fan of the Welsh poet's work and has visited Laugharne on occasions.

"It was good to see him again and he had a good look around, so who knows, he may well turn up on auction day.

"It will be a big day in Laugharne and who knows who we will see."

Brown's Hotel has welcomed a host of intrigued celebrities into its Victorian bar over the years, including US presidents and Rolling Stones star Mick Jagger.

But Mr Watts will not be star-struck when it comes to choosing a purchaser. "It will go to whoever gives us the best offer, whoever that may be."

Carmarthen auctioneers, Terry Thomas and Company, played down the occasion.

"It would be nice to confirm these rumours, but we will not do so for fear of jeopardising the sale," said a spokesman.

"And even if Mr Brosnan did buy the property, I cannot see him moving from being James Bond to pulling pints behind the bar."

But he added that there is huge interest in the hotel, which is expected to fetch at least £600,000, from big names across the world.

"We have had calls from New York, Vancouver - Dylan is a lot more famous over there. We have not forgotten Dylan Thomas in Wales, but we do tend to take him for granted."

Mr Watts, who knew Thomas personally, added, "A film crew came over from Germany."

I have a feeling that he did visit this pub on occasion, but that they took the opportunity to get a little publicity by speculating on his buying the pub. That might be based on his son's name as well.

As for India, I think that they just say this because he was there once and now it's also good publicity.

Sorry, now I feel like a spoilsport... :-[

Refer back to my posting "Anyone want to buy a hotel/pub" under off topics. According to that article, the pub's been up for sale for a year with no interested buyers, and that's why it's going to be auctioned off. Apparently, no one is that interested in it.

And, supposedly, PB's son isn't named after Dylan Thomas. Whether it's true or not, he's said it's just a coincidence. He and Keely liked Dylan and they chose Thomas after both of their fathers.

'Earth To L.A.!'- A Star Studded Sold Out Benefit for Natural Resources Defense Council Rolls Out The 'Green Carpet' for NRDC Supporters Including: Toby Maguire, Ben Stiller, Pierce Brosnan, Albert Brooks, Carole King, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tom Ford, Michelle Pfeiffer, Rob Reiner, Rita Wilson, Martin Short, David E. Kelley and Mark Burnett

Tuesday April 27, 1:28 pm ET

Tom Hanks, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Jack Black, Sheryl Crow, Larry David, Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Ferrell, Eric Idle, Diane Keaton, Willie Nelson, Meg Ryan will perform and present at 'Earth To L.A.! - The Greatest Show On the Earth' On May 6 in Los Angeles
The Evening of Music, Message & Comedy Has Already Raised Over $2.5 Million Dollars To Help Save the Planet

LOS ANGELES, April 27 /PRNewswire/ -- NRDC's (Natural Resources Defense Council) biennial fundraiser "Earth to L.A.! - The Greatest Show on the Earth," featuring Tom Hanks as host and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as keynote speaker, has emerged as the hottest ticket in town. The irreverent evening of music, message and comedy, to be held on Thursday, May 6 at the Wadsworth Theatre in Los Angeles, sold out in record time. It has also already exceeded NRDC's financial goal by raising over $2.5 million to advance the environmental organization's mission to safeguard the Earth's natural resources; far surpassing previous benchmarks.

"The level of support for this event is truly unprecedented," said NRDC trustee Laurie David, who created "Earth to L.A.!" four years ago. "The entertainment community cares deeply about what is happening to our environment. From the writers, to the talent in the show, to all of the people donating their time to make this event happen -- everyone wants to support NRDC."

"Earth to L.A.!" is designed to raise awareness about environmental problems, particularly global warming. More than 90 cents of every dollar raised from the event will be used for NRDC's programs to protect the planet.

The live show will include standup comedy, musical performances and sharp-edged commentary and appearances by Jack Black, Sheryl Crow, Larry David, Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Ferrell, Diane Keaton, Stephen Colbert, Eric Idle, Willie Nelson and Meg Ryan.

The night also features a "green carpet" celebrity arrival event with some of Hollywood's top talent who are NRDC supporters, including: Toby Maguire, Ben Stiller, Pierce Brosnan, Albert Brooks, Carole King, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tom Ford, Rob Reiner, Rita Wilson, Martin Short, and Mark Burnett.

"We have had tremendous support from great friends, supporters and sponsors including Ralph Lauren Fragrances, who have been instrumental in helping us raise money and awareness for NRDC's critical work," said Elizabeth Wiatt, NRDC trustee and event co-chair. Wiatt co-founded NRDC's Action and Executive Forums, which lobby the government on environmental issues.

Event chairs for "Earth to L.A.!" are Larry David, Cindy Horn, Jim Wiatt and NRDC trustees Laurie David, Alan Horn, Peter Morton and Elizabeth Wiatt. Emmy Award-winning producer Joel Gallen is overseeing production, and Academy Award-nominated designer Michael Riva will once again create the sets. Ralph Lauren Fragrances is the premier sponsor of the event's after-party. Underwriters include Warner Bros., MTV Networks, HBO and Village Roadshow Pictures.

NRDC is making the concert Climate Cool(TM) by purchasing clean power from Vermont-based NativeEnergy, which will offset every ton of global warming emissions generated by the event, including all power for the sound and lights. Clean power proceeds will help build a wind farm on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in South Dakota and support Northwest wind farms that generate energy without the heat-trapping pollution that causes global warming.

NRDC's lawyers, scientists and policy analysts are often described as the most effective environmental advocates in the nation. NRDC's purpose is to safeguard the Earth, its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends. In 1970, when there were few environmental laws on the books to protect our water, air and wilderness, several leading attorneys identified the need to create a law firm with one client -- the Earth. For over 30 years, NRDC has helped craft, pass and defend some of the nation's key environmental statutes, including the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act.

NRDC's strategy is to get results using the most effective tools available, whether it's working with the construction industry to promote wood-efficient building techniques, or mobilizing public opinion to force the Environmental Protection Agency to enact stricter guidelines to protect children from harmful chemicals. Today, NRDC has more than 1 million members and online activists nationwide, served from offices in New York, Washington, Santa Monica and San Francisco. For more information visit www.nrdc.org.

Cathy Griffin Column

Pierce Brosnan's wife Keely Shaye Smith was begging her famous hubby to shave off his mustache, but he flatly refused. He was growing it for a new movie he started shooting in Mexico, in which he plays a hitman who has a nervous breakdown. He felt the facial hair fit the role, but Keely was suffering whisker burns and her skin was breaking out. Guess there was too much kissy-kissy going on.

Well it's not that light, just grey at the sides (and more one side than the other). His hair can photograph lighter than it is though in some photos because light tends to reflects off the black, which is why his hair can look dark and light or even reddish or brownish in different photos during the same sequence of photos or photo shoots. That's not new.

OMG, how much Dylan has grown!

In his memoirs one Russian writer said in 30-ies he had a camera with a side lens - he would look forward but see and photograph things that were to his right (or maybe it was left, I don't remember.) He wasn't a paparazzi, though; for him it was a way to take candid pictures of big city scenery. I wonder if such cameras still exist.

Re: PB: Out & About (II)
Post by admin on Jun 1, 2004, 6:38am

I think that kind of camera is probably a little sophisticated for the average papparazzi, besides they don't mind being rude.

Dylan is getting tall, but then tall parents- tall boy and he's 7 now. PB says he was almost 6 feet by age 11.

Yes, very nice Pierce hair!

It was one of the main reasons I posted these pictures.

The other one is that the family picture is really cute, despite the paparazzi-ness.

As for Keely, I think she looks almost too thin on the other photo with the red dress. But maybe that is just the photo.

This one is great (and from the same article):

Deauville marches with Spielberg, Vachon

PARIS -- The Deauville Festival of American Cinema, celebrating its 30th edition in September, will pay tribute to producer Christine Vachon and screen a retrospective of Steven Spielberg's entire oeuvre, with the director due in the Normandy beach resort for the occasion, organizers said Friday. To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the D-Day landings, which took place on the coast near Deauville, the festival also will screen all 10 hourlong episodes of HBO's megabudget series "Band of Brothers," which Spielberg co-produced. Vachon's 40-plus producing credits include several titles that screened in Deauville, including Todd Haynes' "Far From Heaven," Todd Solondz's "Happiness" and John Cameron Mitchell's "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," which scooped the Grand Prix there in 2001. Others provisionally announced as attending include director Michael Mann and actors Matt Damon, Glenn Close, Pierce Brosnan, Malcolm McDowell and Gena Rowlands.

While I've never been in a Jag (or whatever car he's driving these days, I'm sure

Opération "perles à Marutea" pour 007

People : 29/08/2004

(Tahitipresse) - Afin de célébrer leur anniversaire de mariage, l'acteur Pierce Brosnan, qui a plusieurs années durant incarné James Bond à l'écran, et son épouse, l'actrice Keely Shaye Smith, ont séjourné une semaine à Bora Bora (îles Sous-le-Vent). Avant de quitter la Polynésie samedi soir, le couple a pu découvrir la ferme perlière de Robert Wan à Marutea (archipel des Tuamotu).

Le célèbre agent secret étant aussi un gentleman, Pierce Brosnan a offert en guise de cadeau d'anniversaire de mariage à son épouse - ils se sont mariés le 4 août 2001 - un collier de perles provenant de la ferme perlière de Robert Wan.

Samedi matin, en effet, le couple et leurs amis hawaiiens ont pris un vol privé pour se rendre de Bora Bora à Marutea, aux Tuamotu, l'atoll de l'empereur de la perle, Robert Wan.

"La journée a été idyllique" a déclaré à Tahitipresse Pierce Brosnan à son retour de Marutea.

Il portait autour du cou une grosse perle grise aux reflets émeraude, tandis que sa femme portait fièrement un collier de perles d'une grande beauté et d'une grande valeur.
Dans le hall de l'aéroport de Tahiti-Faa'a, samedi soir, des jeunes étudiants polynésiens qui s'apprêtaient à s'envoler pour la métropole afin d'y poursuivre leurs études ont réservé un accueil des plus chaleureux au couple qui s'apprêtait à s'envoler pour Honolulu (Hawaii).

007 et son épouse se sont amusés de l'ambiance folklorique et typiquement polynésienne qui règne dans l'aéroport lors des départs. Guitares, chants, échanges de colliers de coquillages et rires ont séduit le couple d'acteur.

Pierce Brosnan n'a pas signé de nouveau contrat pour un futur film de James Bond et a décidé de poursuivre sa carrière dans un autre registre cinématographique.

Re: PB: Out & About (II)
Post by admin on Sept 2, 2004, 10:55am

I'd say it was a setting except the entire photo is tinged with green including their skin and hair.

Here's the article in non bablefish English:

(Tahitipresse) - Call it “Marutea Pearls Mission” for 007, James Bond to the movie world, Irish actor Pierce Brosnan in real life.

No, this wasn’t a new James Bond film being shot in Tahiti. Instead, Brosnan and his wife, actress Keely Shaye Smith, spent a week on Bora Bora, known as the “pearl of the Pacific”. They were celebrating their third wedding anniversary.

On Saturday morning the couple, accompanied by some friends from Hawaii, flew in a private plane to the Tuamotu atoll of Marutea Sud to visit the pearl farm of Robert Wan, the world’s biggest producer of Tahitian cultured pearls.

Perhaps Brosnan remembered how his wife had surprised him on their wedding day on Aug. 4, 2001 with an ice sculpture of Rodin’s The Kiss during their wedding reception at the 13th Century Ashford Castle Hotel in County Mayo, Ireland. Brosnan, 51, was born in Navan County, Meath, Ireland.

Whatever the inspiration, Mrs. Brosnan left Tahiti on Saturday night with a lovely Tahitian pearl necklace as a wedding anniversary gift. And, not to be left out, he wore a men’s Tahitian pearl pendant, a pearl attached to a leather cord around his neck.

“The day was idyllic,” Brosnan told Tahitipresse Saturday night before boarding a flight to Hawaii with his wife.

The couple was warmly welcomed at the Tahiti-Faa’a International Airport by a group of students preparing to leave for France to continue their studies at universities. The Brosnans obviously enjoyed the attention, which was typically Tahitian as guitars were played, the students sang and flower leis were distributed.

SHOPTALK: Glamour Mixed With Tears

Mon Nov 15, 6:20 PM ET Advertising - AdWeek.com

"Who puts on a meaningful award show?" a faux-outraged Jon Stewart asked as he introduced his "boss," MTV bigwig Judy McGrath, one of Glamour's Women of the Year 2004, during a four-hanky ceremony on Monday night at Manhattan's Museum of Natural History. "RuPaul would give Charo an award, we'd get a gift bag and go home," Stewart joked. "No more tears!"

Indeed, to that point, there had been rivers of them: for the indefatigable Jersey Girls, four women from the Garden State who lost their husbands on 9/11 and whose efforts forced the creation of the 9/11 Commission. As they received their awards, they said there was much left to do to see that the commission's recommendations are implemented. Five actresses (including Aisha Tyler and Jessica Capshaw) read letters from five young female soldiers who died in Iraq. The crusaders of the Women's Cancer Research Fund (including Rita Wilson, whose husband, Tom Hanks, was crying in the audience) were also honored; they were introduced by Pierce Brosnan, who spoke movingly of losing his first wife to ovarian cancer.

Afterward, Shoptalk mingled with the crowd--which was teeming with celebrities as disparate as Sam Donaldson, who introduced White House reporter and award winner Helen Thomas, and Ethan Hawke, who did the honors for author Judy Blume--at a fabulous, Casbah-inspired (and Grey Goose-fueled) soirée. Then everyone got their gift bags and went home.

Post by icycalm on Nov 20, 2004, 5:58pm

Oh, it was, CG! I didn’t know what to expect on this interview myself. As Pierce sat down, the wireless mike attached to his right lapel, was drooping. Ellen leans in close to try to prop it up, commenting that it was hanging. The audience, all women, reacted to that off-color idea. Pierce picked up on that, saying, “It’s hanging well!” She kept fussing with it, both of them wondering what to do. Suddenly she says, “Kiss me.” They were inches apart anyway. “Right now?” he asks, and he does kiss her, briefly. The audience went wild. He reached for the back of her head for an affectionate pat.

She said he looked fantastic, and he replied that he tries. She said she was on Robitussin and that now he “has it.” Pierce said he’s got a cold anyway, as his kids do (he really sounded as if he does). They figured out they first met when Keely was pregnant with Paris. He said his family came down to join him in the Bahamas. Ellen said something like I’ll bet, with you making out will Salma all the time. That made him really laugh.

He explained why he’s not Bond anymore, and told the story about Dylan on the Die Another Day set and being more concerned about the cars than about his father creating havoc in the DMZ. Pierce said he took him to a movie yesterday (Sunday, I guess he flew back from NY on Saturday) and some women gushed over him. Dylan said, “Dad, it’s amazing. You’re no longer Bond and they still like you.”

As the interview concluded, Ellen again told him he was gorgeous and, “You’ll have a career long beyond this, and they don’t know what they’re doing.” That was a direct jab at the Broccoli’s, and I thank her for that.

San Diego Union Tribune: A military Bond

Dec 2, 2004

It didn't require any James Bond theatrics to deliver gifts to a military family Monday at Legoland's tree-lighting party. Actor Pierce Brosnan just helped out Santa, who flew in via helicopter from Camp Pendleton. But when it came to joining his wife and kids, Dylan, 7, and Paris, 3, on the fast-spinning Bionicle Blaster ride, Brosnan took a pass.

"You know," he confided to Legoland's Julie Estrada, "in the Bond movies I did a lot of my own stunts involving spinning, dangling and dropping down into the air, and I didn't like it." Estrada appeared as an extra in "The Heist," a TV movie starring Brosnan that was filmed here in 1989.

Yes, I saw it. It aired here last weekend. The entire thing was edited down to one hour with way too much Sarah Michelle Geller yapping in between and showing packaged video clips of the honorees without actually showing the ceremony or the recipients.

PB's intro speech was actually the only intro that I think made it out of the cutting room but even that was chopped up, you could see splices in the speech and it lasted less than a minute and then no presentation and then a cut to Rita Wilson talking about the award which was also cut up.

L iz Smith-Page Six

When is the best time to receive a Cecil B. DeMille Life Achievement Award from the Golden Globes folks? Sunday at the Beverly Hilton. And this year, the award goes to that master of the comedic and dramatic, Robin Williams.

Director Mike Nichols will be one of the presenters to Robin. And Bond, James Bond - Pierce Brosnan - will also speak and present. Remember when Robin and Pierce co-starred in "Mrs. Doubtfire?" Why two presenters? One for Robin's serious films, the other for his funnies? In any case, his will likely be an acceptance speech to go down in Hollywood history. Robin is incapable, in public at least, of giving a straight answer or comment on anything without going to various voices and endless shtick.

Coming Soon
Pierce Brosnan and Mike Nichols are taking part in the presentation of the Cecil B. DeMille Award to Robin Williams for his "outstanding contribution to the entertainment field."

The Golden Globe Awards, regarded worldwide as The Hollywood Party of the Year, will be seen in more than 150 countries worldwide, and is one of the few awards ceremonies that span both television and motion picture achievements. The event's rating growth has exceeded 500% since it became an annual event on NBC ten years ago. Last January's telecast was one of 2004's top two highest-rated awards telecasts.

The special will be produced by dick clark productions in association with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Lorenzo Soria is President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Dick Clark and Barry Adelman are executive producers. Al Schwartz is consulting producer. Ken Shapiro is producer. Ron Weed is co-producer.

62nd Annual Golden Globe Awards to be telecast live on NBC Sunday, January 16 (8-11 p.m. EST) at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Sundancing — Robert Redford's Sundance festival starts Thursday

By Jeff Vice
Deseret Morning News

From its inception more than two decades ago, one of the primary objectives of the Sundance Film Festival has been to provide a place where the work of independent filmmakers — many of them first-timers — could be seen by an audience.

Park City's Main Street is a playground for filmmakers and film buffs for 11 days in January each year as the Sundance Film Festival comes to town.

But there's also a commercial side: The filmmakers hope that audience reaction will influence studio executives so that their movies might be picked up for theatrical distribution.

How things have changed.

One 2005 Sundance selection has already been acquired well before the festival opens. The Australian thriller "Wolf Creek" will get a nationwide release — probably in October — after being picked up by Dimension Films.

Sundance remains the premier U.S. showcase for independently produced features and shorts from the United States and around the world, and the 2005 festival starts its 11-day run Thursday with a screening of the "family-values" comedy "Happy Endings," starring Maggie Gyllenhaal, Tom Arnold, Laura Dern and Lisa Kudrow, in Park City's Eccles Theater.

On the following night, Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City plays host to director Gaby Dellal's "On a Clear Day," which stars Peter Mullan and two-time Academy Award-nominee Brenda Blethyn ("Secrets & Lies," "Little Voice").

And for the first time, the festival will feature a "centerpiece premiere," director George C. Wolfe's made-for-pay-cable drama "Lackawanna Blues," based on the stage play by Ruben Santiago-Hudson. The film stars Jimmy Smits, Macy Gray and Terrence Howard and will debut Jan. 26 in the Eccles Theater.

In describing those films — as well as the other 120 features playing in this year's event — festival director Geoff Gilmore used words that have become Sundance catch-phrases: "risk-taking," "diversity" and "aesthetic innovation."

And he singled out "Happy Endings" for praise because it "examines the many layers of relationships in American families and shifting values that are at the heart of our country. . . . The humor and compassion with which they are explored is unexpected and moving." As always, Gilmore and other festival officials insist that the emphasis this year should be on the films and not on the stars who are in them. Sundance may be primarily about seeing movies, but for celebrities, it's just as often about being seen.

In the past few years, there have been splashy celebrity appearances by Britney Spears, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez (when they were still a couple), and last year the May-December pairing of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore (he was here in support of his thriller "The Butterfly Effect," which premiered at the festival).

The list of this year's possible attendees gathering in the rarefied air is even more star-studded:

• Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are expected to be in Park City for the premiere of "Strangers With Candy: The Movie."

• Pierce Brosnan ("The Matador")

• Glenn Close ("Heights," "The Chumscrubber")

• Kevin Costner ("The Upside of Anger")

• Daniel Day-Lewis ("The Ballad of Jack and Rose")

• Michael Keaton and Robert Downey Jr. ("Game 6")

• Keira Knightley ("The Jacket")

• Marisa Tomei ("Loverboy," "Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School")

• Naomi Watts ("Ellie Parker").

• And, of course, Robert Redford, the head of Sundance Institute, will be around for at least some of the festival.

Look at Robin and Pierce standing together. They are about the same age yet Williams looks like a battered old pickup truck. After watching the Golden Globes and a few of the related programs covering it, I'd say Pierce snuck in the back door, alone and unaccompanied, made the presentation, took these backstage photos, and then headed home. I did not see him on the red carpet, nor in the audience. Until he appeared for the Robin Williams presentation, I seriously thought he might be a no-show.

But, when he did walk on stage, I thought, by God, now THERE is a MOVIE STAR.

It also occurred to me as I watched the show, how many of his leading ladies were in attendance. I counted at least four: Terri Hatcher, Halle Berry, Julliana Margulies, Denise Richards, also you gotta count Annette Benning and Virginia Madsen. For a man with his extensive resume, I should think this happens alot at showbiz gatherings. I also should think he feels somewhat pleased with himself about it!

My theory for dissapearance of Brosnan during the red carpet is simply he wants to avoid question from journalist on the possibility of him returning again for Bond 21.Maybe he will return after all and the recent rumours could be true.

BROSNAN FOR BOND 21...............!

Ohhh, that was in the broadcast I watched!

In Germany they were showing NBC's coverage and red carpet show.

I, too, was waiting for Pierce to appear somewhere in the crowd, and of course I especially anticipated his presentation. It was a bit of a save-the-best-for-last, huh?

Anyway, when he finally walked on stage he just knocked my socks off (borrowing a phrase the SMA likes to use himself). He looked fantastic! Not that that's anything new, but it just hits you every time, doesn't it? He was unquestionably the best dressed man; I loved the black silk shirt and tie with the velvet jacket.

Oh, man, that gesture with the thumb and little finger! He does it constantly these days. Not being very hip, my guess is that it is universal sign language for "call me." See, your hand makes like a phone. Whatever it is, I wish he'd stop - very unbecoming IMO.

Brosnan to unveil new Omega Seamaster in India:

Mumbai | February 12, 2005 8:42:35 PM IST

Mumbai, Feb 12 : Hollywood actor and Omega brand ambassador Pierce Brosnan will visit Mumbai later this month to unveil the new Omega Seamaster in India.

Brosnan, who has been enthralling audiences across the world as the charismatic James Bond and has to credit a number of Hollywood blockbusters, has been Omega's global brand ambassador since 1997.

As a prelude to the visit, the company has planned a Pierce Brosnan film festival here. A specially designed contest will also be run wherein the winners can win a chance to meet with Pierce Brosnan himself.

"It was imperative that we honour our distinguished customers and give them exclusive access to one of our leading international brand ambassadors," said Omega International president Stephen Urquhart.

Omega will also run a nationwide contest on Star One and Star World, giving winners a chance of either winning an Omega Seamaster or meeting with Brosnan.

Empire: The Baftas Begin

Stars pack the red carpet as the 2005 ceremony kick off
12 February 2005

There are, of course, many differences between the Oscars and the BAFTAs, but the most salient one on Empire’s mind this evening was that the former takes place in sunny Los Angeles (a place where clouds are classified as UFOs), while the latter unfolds in London. In February. Without any obvious form of artificial heating. As arctic winds swept through Leicester Square and hailstones the size of hamsters picked off unlucky members of the crowd, hundreds of onlookers braved the elements for the starriest event in Britain’s movie calendar (until next month’s Empire Awards, naturally).

But if the weather was a million miles (and indeed degrees) away from Hollywood’s annual bash, there were certainly enough of movies’ best and brightest to ensure the night was no less memorable. Whipped into a frenzy by sadistic presenters and possibly deranged by the inclement conditions, the gathered crowd erupted into a howling, screaming mob as the first guests arrived, led by a surprisingly philosophical Imelda Staunton. “It’s out of my hands now,” she told Empire. “There’s nothing I can do. I’m here with a lot of mates and I’m going to have a fantastic evening!”

Wise words indeed because, as Christopher Lambert used to say, there can be only one. One film, one actor, one actress and one director, the latter category leads us nicely to the first of the evening’s crowd pleasers and presenter of the Best Director award, Pierce Brosnan. A man we all know can wear a tuxedo as if born into it, Brosnan suavely made his was down the carpet amid howls from would-be Bond girls and stopped beside Empire to reflect on the evening’s proceedings. “It’s actually my first time at the BAFTAs,” he mused, betraying a hint of excitement beneath the perennial cool. “I honestly believe that the BAFTAs are on a par with the Oscars. At heart they’re both celebrations of film. I’m so honoured to be presenting. Mike Leigh, Marc Forster – so many great directors. Martin Scorsese is a man I’ve admired for many, many years.”

From: Film Focus

Pierce Brosnan was remaining tight lipped on his relationship with Bond, clearly preferring to leave things for EON and MGM to announce, and we’d like to think that after last week’s title announcement he might have another in him, but he told us that it was an “honour” to present Best Director, an award that went to Mike Leigh for Vera Drake. He added, “It’s my first time at the BAFTAs. It’s wonderful, it’s a bit of pomp and glory and whatever; it’s fun, it’s a celebration.”

The Thomas Crown Affair star spoke briefly of his work in The Matador, “It’s just gone to the Sundance Festival,” he said, adding “I’ve just been offered a role with Danny De Vito and Morgan Freeman.”

==================================

Aside from wondering about Pierce's memory at not being at the BAFTAs before (so many award cermenoies, evidently all of them a blur!) I'm wondering what new film he's talking about!

Pierce & Morgan Freeman... yes!

I invited myself over to an old friend’s house last night to watch the BAFTAs on the BBC. (I paid dearly for the privilege but it was worth it.) Did anybody else get to see it? I’d never seen the BAFTA’s before and was pleased at the show. Obvious now why is known as the British Oscars. Why do they call it the “Orange” Bafta awards?

For those who didn’t see it:

It was freezing on the red carpet – there was danger of snow in London that day. It was there where he indeed said it was his first time at the BAFTAs. Sometimes our Pierce doesn’t get his facts straight. I can forgive him theses little things because he gets all the BIG things right.

Loved seeing the vast variety of gowns worn by the ladies. Not like in LA where every single woman wears some variation of a SWIMSUIT TOP with floor-length fabric attached to it. Pierce wore his usual dashing tux, but chose a bright white necktie. Hmmm.

He and Sean, who is wearing his hair painfully short again, had front row seats. For most of the evening there was a cameraman in Pierce’s face – how uncomfortable! Probably one of those times where he has to repeat to himself, “All part of the job…” The camera did indeed cut to him numerous times throughout the show, much to MY delight. They showed his reaction to the composer of the original Bond music, and again when his old friend Lord Attenborough presented, etc, etc. All Pierce’s reactions were polite and somewhat reserved. Well ... his son was with him. Jet lag. Gotta see a million people while here. Then it’s on to India for the Omega shoot…

I tell you what: a hush came over the audience when Attenborough took the stage. Everyone knows he lost his granddaughter, and others, in the tsunami. I love the respectable behavioral patterns of the British. Cultured, literary, never loud, never garish. Wait, I take it back – the theatre seats are upholstered in leopard-skin.

Pierce, have yourself a great time over there in the old neighborhood!

BONDING SESSION

Feb 14 2005

PIERCE Brosnan was his usual charming self when he caught up with his favourite gossip columnists. The dashing ex-007 star had us swooning (enough already - Ed) at the post-ceremony dinner.

His date for the night was his son Sean, 19, who is studing acting at the Central School Of Speech And Drama in London.

Lucky Sean was introduced to Miramax boss Harvey Weinstein - not something every drama student gets to do.

Pierce - who very kindly said to Jessica when the flash on the camera took time to warm up: "I'll just stand here and stroke your back while we wait" - revealed he wasn't serious about tipping Colin Farrell as the next Bond star.

"That was only a joke. I can't really see that happening," he said.

"I think Gerard Butler would be great. Colin Salmon would be brilliant but they don't have the bottle.

"I know what you're like - you'll say to the next Bond star that he's the best one ever. You won't be loyal to me!"

Just try stopping us...

Great pictures, Ace, thanks. A lot better than the visual I got at the Red Carpet bit. They showed a total of 30 seconds of PB, I think. I did like Stephen Fry's introduction of PB at the ceremony, though - "More stylish than my shoes, more handsome than my fee." And he did a brief run-down of PB's career (as he did with all the presenters), complimenting his first role in Long Good Friday.

It wasn't a retrospective, though, just a from-to thing - SF would mention the first and the latest movie, in PB's case - LGF and Matador. It was still nice, though.

Daily Mirror: SAM MANN ABOUT TOWN

It was a blustery, wintry, wet and miserable night, but Leicester Square was filled with a warm showbiz glow as the Hollywood glitterazzi turned out for what has become Britain’s answer to the Oscars. The BAFTAs saw a whole host of stars arrive at The Odeon, including Keanu Reeves, Clive Owen, Martin Scorsese, Sienna Miller and Cate Blanchett.

The screams from the hundreds of waiting fans reached a peak as lovely Leo DiCaprio stepped out of his car and onto the red carpet. But my heart-rate peaked when I spotted the next male actor to arrive. He may have smoked his last poison dart cigarette and parked his Aston Martin in the garage for one last time, but Pierce Brosnan still has the ability to shake and stir even the most unfazed girl.

The Bond star’s silky voice had me hanging onto his every word as he told me he was happy to be invited to his first BAFTA ceremony. When quizzed about his possible replacement, he agreed with me that Gerard Butler would make a great secret agent, as would Colin Salmon.

Imelda Staunton looked great, opting for the green goddess look. Perhaps it was her lucky colour, because she picked up the Best Actress BAFTA for her performance in Vera Drake. She told me she was looking forward to walking up the red carpet in LA at the end of the month for the Oscars as it’ll be a lot warmer over there.

Seattle Times: Oscar, take a lesson from the Brits

By Moira Macdonald
Seattle Times movie critic

As Oscar night draws closer, buzz from Hollywood gets louder about how this year's telecast will be cooler, funnier and most of all shorter than years past. With Chris Rock as host, we're told, the event will feel more like an evening of stand-up comedy, with a few awards thrown in. (That evening, in fact, appears to have started early. If Rock keeps giving funny interviews about how irrelevant the Oscars are, he'll have no material left for the big night.)

And the way those awards are presented will be different, too: Oscar telecast producer Gil Cates has announced that some winners will not be invited on stage to receive their Oscar, but will remain seated. (What — they're going to toss a statuette to the winner? Will safety helmets be issued to those seated nearby?) For some awards, nominees will be invited up on stage together, which conjures up the unpleasant spectacle of, say, all the special-effects nominees holding hands like Miss America finalists.

This is all very well (actually, it sounds dreadful, but we'll wait and see), but Cates and his crew might do better for inspiration by looking across the pond. The BAFTA awards, otherwise known as The British Academy of Film and Television Arts, otherwise known as Not the Golden Globes, Thanks Very Much Indeed, were televised last weekend on cable. In watching them I noticed a few innovations that the academy might do well to steal:

• No commercial breaks. Yes, you heard me — the BAFTAs, through the goodness of I know not what, are televised without commercials. The entire show felt about 20 minutes long. Well, OK, maybe two hours, but it bounced along nicely, thanks to ...

• Stephen Fry. Looking like a slightly hip professor in wire-rimmed glasses and shiny suit, the erudite writer/director/actor (who probably knows more words than any five Oscar presenters put together) made a marvelously smooth host. From his opening words, welcoming "filmy-eyed film lovers and beautifully buffed film buffs," to his vivid introductions (Pierce Brosnan was introduced as "more stylish than my shoes, more handsome than my fee"), Fry was thoroughly at ease, despite ...

• No onstage helpers. The BAFTAs, perhaps in the interest of keeping costs down, have no evening-gown-clad models to hand out their statuettes, and Fry himself never once left the stage. He'd introduce a presenter, take a step back, and benignly observe the proceedings, like a tolerant headmaster, until it was time to step up to the microphone again. The statuettes (rather heavy-looking, masklike things) were brought out by the presenters, who had to navigate a ...

• Very impressive entry ramp. Dominating the stage, this steep, spiraling ramp was traversed by terrified-looking presenters clutching BAFTA awards. I quickly began to look forward to this ritual: Fry would issue some marvelously verbose introduction ("Put your British reserve in your back pocket, and whoop like our American cousins for ... "), and the camera would move to the top of the ramp, to a glamorous star whose gaze was fixed firmly on the floor, taking itsy-bitsy steps toward the bottom. Gillian Anderson, in particular, seemed to narrowly escape a spill, clutching the podium — when she finally got there — like a life preserver.

Now this, Mr. Cates, is entertainment of the highest order — drama, suspense, risk — all before the winner is even announced. Think about it.

More news from tha BAFTA's. This BBC presenter has had more press with her shenangians on the red carpet than any of the winners.

===================================

Natasha Kaplinsky, the ubiquitous BBC Breakfast and Strictly Come Dancing presenter, is still living down her hosting of the red carpet arrivals for TV coverage of the Baftas.

To the amusement of some newspapers, thanks to her mistuned microphone, her innermost thoughts were audible to journalists assembled backstage at the event in London's Odeon Leicester Square. At one point she was heard to squeal: "Oooh, he's gorgeous", as Pierce Brosnan approached. She also revealed to another star arrival that she had a heated pack inserted into her dress to ward off the cold. "Feel my tummy - I've got one of those hot things down the front," she said, as earwigging reporters guffawed.

Poor Natasha was also heard to get a scolding from her producer for failing to hide her shivers. "I know it's very cold, but could you look a bit less cold?" she was asked.

Bond's day out

By: A Mid Day Correspondent
February 20, 2005

Pierce Brosnan’s visit to Mumbai tomorrow primarily involves the launch of the Constellation collection of watch company Omega.

A photo op at the Gateway of India, a press conference and a meeting with the winners of the ongoing contest at the Inox multiplex will occupy most of this day.

In the evening however, the actor who is most famous for playing the British spy James Bond will rub shoulders with our folk from Bollywood.

The gala event in the evening is likely to attended by the Bachchans, Preity Zinta, Yash Chopra, Salman Khan among others.

He will also present a cheque to Amitabh Bachchan to the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) towards the promotion of Indian cinema globally.

Indian Omega brand ambassador Sonali Bendre will accompany Brosnan throughout the day and co-host the evening’s event. Lucky girl.

BOMBAY, India Actor Pierce Brosnan is visiting India, where he say's he'll shoot a forthcoming movie.

Brosnan won't give details about the film but says: "It's a project that will be shot in L-A, then London and Bombay."

The former James Bond star made his comments during a short visit today in Bombay to promote an international watch brand.

The 51-year-old actor also tells reporters that Hollywood and Bollywood, India's movie world, are forging new ties.

Says Brosnan: "The cross-pollination between Hollywood and Bollywood is getting closer."

It's Brosnan's third trip to India. He first came nearly 20 years ago to shoot an Ismail Merchant movie, "The Deceivers," and returned in 2002 to meet the Dalai Lama.

Pierce in a white suit! Haven't seen that in ages. Too bad about the hideous red backdrop in those press photos. Nonetheless, our man looks spendid. As to what movie is he referring: perhaps TCA II, since it was hinted that it might go international, location-wise. Mr. Crown might have his eye on something exotic that passes through the area.

Good for Omega, especially since PB will no longer be Bond! Really, Omega watches and James Bond are irrevocably tied together. Unless they couldn't kill some contract that might have existed between them and PB ... I'm just glad they stuck with him. Quite unlike other corporations who shall remain nameless (Sony, MGM, EON). The next time I need to buy a man's watch I will look at Omega's.

Thanx to Ace, who first alerted us that PB was going to India. I like to keep track of his globetrotting. I wonder if "The Deceivers" also just got released for that DVD region. IF so, PB's timing is good. Recently viewed Deceivers myself. (Don't know exactly what to make of it.)

I wonder if the term "Bollywood" is viewed as derogatory or what, over there. Sounds like some cutsy nickname created by the LA press.

The red background would be fine but it's the horrid blurry distorted quality of the pics themselves that's poor. Bollywood is a term I believe coined by India, they use it with regularity

The locations would fit in with TCA2 as long as they don't call it Topkapi which belongs more to Turkey etc than India or London.

As for Omwga, he's had a separate contract since 97/98. If they wanted too they could have not renewed it but his face and wrist sell watches.

Another article. And either PB was misquoted, something got lost in the translation of he's being exceedingy polite bordering on lying. (I like the Deceivers but it's not his best movie, by far, not even of the 80's, and he didn't think so either!)

India Times: Pierce Brosnan to shoot his next movie in India

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2005

MUMBAI: Hollywood star Pierce Brosnan, known for playing the famous character of James Bond, said on Monday that he would be shooting for his next movie in India.

"The shooting for my next movie would take place in Los Angeles, London and India", Brosnan told reporters at the launch function of a new range of watch at a south Mumbai multiplex.

Recalling his association with India, Brosnan said he had first come to the country nearly 15 years back to shoot for a movie by Ismail Merchant and said he enjoyed working with Shashi Kapoor and Saeed Jafferey. "It was my best movie", Brosnan said.

The Indian people have a "great sense of humour" which allows them to go on with the life, he said adding "they (Indians) are great people with a great culture".

Replying to a query whether it would be possible for the Indians to get into Hollywood, Brosnan said "the cross-pollination between Hollywood and Bollywood is getting closer" and added one needed to keep trying and work hard to achieve success

So the film is not TCA2, and it doesn't look like his next film. So another for the "in planning, may or may not happen" file.

====================================

MUMBAI: Pierce Brosnan likes it hot. The Irish-born Hollywood star asked for the air conditioner to be switched off three times at the Taj Mahal Hotel, Apollo Bunder. ‘‘Nobody told me Mumbai can get so cold. If they don’t switch off the AC, I might go to the mains and shut it myself,’’ he says.

The James Bond star spent the weekend in Mumbai as the brand ambassador of Omega watches. The 52-year-old actor plans to open an Indian restaurant with an American friend in Malibu. ‘‘We’re looking for an Indian chef,’’ he says.

Also in the pipeline is a film that’s set in India and produced by his company, Irish Dream Time. ‘‘I have a story outline and I think it’s doable. It’s a thriller with three acts based in Los Angeles, London and India.’’ The film’s theme, incidentally, is centered on Bollywood. ‘‘Something goes wrong in a Bollywood show and the thriller starts.’’

The Telegraph: Ogle at Brosnan, no shame in that

CHANDRIMA S. BHATTACHARYA
Mumbai, Feb. 21:

For once there was someone more stunning than Sonali Bendre.

The thick forest of cameras was daunting, but so were the female fans waiting for him. Two young ladies openly declared that they had “come to ogle”. Another said that she would make a brave effort to somehow get herself photographed with him. But when Pierce Brosnan finally walked in, in a beige jacket, dark blue shirt and jeans, looking exactly as gorgeous as he does on the screen, one heard the loud thud of jaws dropping.

He was on display for not more than 20 minutes, but here was the man who looked even better than Sean Connery as Bond. If there’s a debate on the issue, a look at Brosnan in person settles the matter. There is no room for improvement there.

Brosnan, 51, actor-producer-environmentalist, was on a “personal” trip here from Saturday, till he was spotted at the Gateway of India by the paparazzi wearing a white shirt. Today, he made the only public appearance as the global brand ambassador for a leading international watch company.

As Bendre, the other ambassador of the brand, dazzling in a white salwar kameez, gushingly invited him on to the stage, Brosnan walked in, looking a little doubtfully at the rising wave of photographers. But he survived them, perhaps with his wit, a little dry like the Martini that Bond has, and the amused expression on his face, as flashbulbs went crazy and the audience squealed at regular intervals.

Asked how he keeps fit, he named almost every kind of sport in one breath, including kickboxing. But he added that he was a “bad surfer”.

Asked how easy or difficult it was for an “outsider” to make it big in Hollywood — Brosnan, an Irishman, made it big as a television star first; his first Bond movie Goldeneye happened in 1995 — Brosnan said it took luck, courage, and “hard work, hard work, hard work and hard work”.

It was not the first time he has come to India. His first visit was for the shooting of The Deceivers, a 1988 film by Merchant-Ivory. But then he came again three years ago to Dharamsala, to meet the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spiritual leader living in exile there.

India appears to have left Brosnan — who has acted in four Bond movies, including The World Is Not Enough, the most successful Bond movie — moved, if not shaken and stirred. He said that he loved the country and its people. He also said he loved the food.

But he means to take it further. Asked if he was familiar with Indian cinema, he said he was. He said his production company, Irish Dream Time, is looking at a venture that would bring the industry here and Hollywood closer. “The cross-pollination between Hollywood and Bollywood is getting closer,” he said. At this, he was whisked off to the watch boutique. It was not clear if he heard the last shot fired at him: Did he know Aishwarya Rai?

Brosnan is scheduled to leave tomorrow. After a stream of Hollywood heavyweights coming to India — Matt Damon shot for The Bourne Identity in Goa last year; Michael Douglas visited Mumbai revcetly and said he would co-produce and star in 'Racing the Monsoon, the second sequel to Romancing the Stone, with Aishwarya Rai — hopefully there will be more of Brosnan, too, with his upcoming project.

During his stay in Mumbai, Brosnan also managed to squeeze in a trip to the Elephanta Caves. Talk about works of art.

Omega:
Omega brand ambassador Pierce Brosnan launches the Omega Constellation Double Eagle in Mumbai

Mumbai, February 21 2005

Omega, the renowned Swiss watch manufacturing company and part of the Swatch Group, the world's biggest manufacturer of finished watches, today announced the launch of its very latest collection - The Omega Constellation Double Eagle Chronograph. Omega's global brand ambassador Pierce Brosnan was invited to India to launch this exquisite timepiece. Omega India brand ambassadress Sonali Bendre Behl along with G Kannan, Country Manager, Swatch Group, were also present on the occasion.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr G Kannan, Country Manager Swatch Group India said, "The popularity of Omega has grown manifold during the last couple of years. It was only imperative that we honour our patrons with something more. We are grateful to our global brand ambassador Pierce Brosnan to take out time and travel to India to launch the Constellation Double Eagle."

Unveiling the watch, Omega Brand Ambassadress Sonali Bendre Behl said, "It is indeed a pleasure to share the same platform with the Hollywood heartthrob Pierce Brosnan and to unveil one of the most sought after chronographs. A perfect fit for those looking for a classic watch but with a subtle sporting edge to it."

The newly launched Omega Constellation Double Eagle promises to be a much sought-after timepiece. Equipped with the Omega calibre 3313 movement, it is a chronograph connoisseur's delight. The watch has an intricate rhodium-plated finish of circular graining, Geneva wave decor and gold-plated engravings, with a blue-steel screw as the centrepiece of this mechanical and aesthetic marvel. Few such chronographs are available on the market today, since only a handful of prestige watchmakers are capable of producing this highly sophisticated mechanism. Furthermore, the Constellation Double Eagle has a discreet sporty touch to their chronometer counterparts.

This one really had me puzzled. I know that Ursula Karven knows Pierce because they both live in Malibu (she said very nice things about him at the German DAD premiere). But why he would come to promote a, comparatively small, German TV movie which we have never heard about before (and I should think that I must have heard about it if it were true) makes one doubt the news. How embarrassing for the German papers to confuse the names! Especially since they confuse a world-famous actor with one I have never heard of! >:(

This confusion of names reminds me of something that happened to me a few years ago. I had ordered a copy of the PB biography at a local book shop, and when I came to pick it up the owner said: " Oh yes, of course, you ordered that book about Pierre...errr....who was that again?" But I never held that lack of PB-awareness against her.

I'd love to know what advise Pierce gives ABT. As a long time ballet fan, I know that company loves to have financial crises.

Hopefully Pierce is teaching them that a penny saved is a penny earned.

More likely though, they are probably teaching him how not to be a klutz.

That makes them pretty much no different from any other performing arts institution. They all need money. But he's on the campaign chair of bigger organizations than that so he might know a thing or two about how to get more. 8-)

As for teaching him how not to be a klutz, I don't think ballet covers driving mishaps or remembering to stetch more before jumping over hovercrafts in the rain and mud.

And they couldn't possibly teach him to move any better than he already does.

Pierce with Halle Berry and Greg Kinnear

The young and the breathless

By Elizabeth Snead and Joel Stratte-McClure

Like, who'd bring parents to the Young Hollywood Awards?

Just "Sin City" hottie Jessica Alba, "Real Women Have Curves" delight America Ferrera, "Ice Princess" sweetie Hayden Panettiere, "Joan of Arcadia" cutie Amber Tamblyn and Brit's little sis, Jamie Lynn Spears.

"Desperate Housewives" hunky gardener Jesse Metcalfe, who picked up an Exciting New Face award, didn't bring his folks. But he did have cheering fans in co-stars Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria.

"Jesse, I love you!" said his on-screen squeeze Longoria, who scolded the audience -- including Gwen Stefani, Carmen Electra, Frankie Muniz, John Corbett, John Singleton and Krista Allen for "staring at my butt" when she presented the One to Watch award to Sean Faris ("Life as We Know It"). Longoria was wearing a sizzling red-hot gown. Settle down, Gabrielle!

Some stars thanked spouses. "I want to thank my husband John Asher," said Hottest New Filmmaker Jenny McCarthy. "He's the only director I've ever slept with." Hey, if you say so.

And everyone had sage advice for the newcomers. "You have to work hard and go through a lot of battles with the paparazzi and the press," said the now skinny blond Today's Superstar winner Lindsay Lohan.

Old-timer Dennis Quaid advised, "If a director ever asks if you can ride a horse, just answer 'Like the wind' and you'll get the part."

And being nice helps. Halle Berry and Greg Kinnear praised Pierce Brosnan as they gave him Young Hollywood's Role Model award.

"He's the most caring and protective leading man I've ever had," said Berry. Kinnear added, "And he's a good kisser."

But if you want to start looking then I suggest you hit the culture spots, Broadway last night and the day before he was spotted at the Whitney.

Gawker: I saw Pierce Brosnan at the Whitney museum at about 4:00 this afternoon. It was this kind of weird Tim Hawkinson modern art exhibit, but he seemed really into it. He was alone, and he looked really good!

================================

Info on the Exhibit if you're interested:

Whitney Museum of Art, NY: Tim Hawkinson

On Display until May 29

Like kinetic sculpture? If so, then you're going to love walking through rooms upon rooms of Tim Hawkinson's creations 84 atmospheric pieces that walk a fine line between natural and automated movement. Until the end of the month, New York's Whitney Museum will be showcasing the artist's inventions 84 scientific oddities that include a miniature bird skeleton made from human nail clippings and an inflated rubber cast of Hawkinson's body.

The artist's first major museum survey, Hawkinson's show includes a massive sound machine, complete with wooden pipes and cut-out human figures. However, the scientific, Calderesque whimsicality of his work is complemented by a driving precision. Never-stopping signature machines, portraits with mechanically moving features and gears that turn once every hundred years are but a few samples of Hawkinson's curious aesthetic.

Oh this other tidbit from Gawker:

May 17th:

I went to see Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf this past Friday. There were quite a few celebrities in attendance, including Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. Before the show started I headed to the men’s room. On my way in to the bathroom I saw Jerry walking out and talking to a tall debonair looking man. They seemed to be having a personal conversation. The debonair gentleman was telling Jerry where he lived, etc. Right when they were walking by me, Jerry turned to the gentleman and I asked, “And what’s your name?” The gentleman turned and said, “Pierce. It’s Pierce.” It was Pierce Brosnan (who, of course, I recognized - but apparently Jerry did not). How they started talking while in the bathroom together when Jerry had no idea who Pierce Brosnan was is beyond me.

Pierce Brosnan, Tuesday, on Madison Ave and 67th Street. Looked like he just stepped out of an Australian tennis club. His butt is really small. But anyway - Some German (I think) tourists whipped out a mini videocamera and just pointed it at him. He stood around for a minute, but then went up to them and said, “Get that camera out of my face - please.” German man: “what?” Bond: “I said get that thing out of my face, please.” At least he was somewhat polite. Then, almost tripped into Scarlett Johansson as were leaving.

ABC.es: Los Príncipes de Gales, Preysler y Pierce Brosnan, en la fiesta de Porcelanosa

June 7, 2005

BEATRIZ CORTÁZAR/

Será finalmente el próximo 2 de julio cuando se celebre a las afueras de Londres el torneo de polo de la Copa de Porcelanosa. Contará con la asistencia del mismísimo Príncipe de Gales, que disputará el partido con su hijo el príncipe Guillermo, así como su ya esposa, la duquesa de Cornuelles, quien seguirá la final desde el palco de honor, donde también estará Isabel Preysler, el actor Pierce Brosnan, la modelo argentina Valeria Mazza y el guapísimo Andrés Velencoso.

Sin duda, la fiesta promete más de un titular. El último en sumarse ha sido Brosnan, quien estos días aún deshoja la margarita por saber si será el próximo James Bond a la vista de que no está resultando nada fácil encontrar quien le sustituya. Parece ser que todo el problema venía por un asunto de caché -el actor pedía más de lo que le ofrecían-y quién sabe si a la vista de como están las cosas Brosnan no acabe enfundándose de nuevo el traje del agente con licencia para matar.

Pero la cita del día 2 promete y mucho. Será la primera vez que Carlos de Inglaterra acuda a un acto de Porcelanosa ya con Camila como su esposa legal. Otros años la pareja ha presidido este torneo. Entonces su relación era pública y notoria, pero no estaba formalizada e incluso contaba con el rechazo de la mayoría, que nunca vio con buenos ojos a «la rival» de la desaparecida Diana. Como dice la canción, «cómo hemos cambiado».

El Príncipe de Gales mantiene estrechos lazos con esta firma de cerámicas que colabora con las asociaciones benéficas que él preside y por la que viajó hasta su sede de Castellón para conocer la fábrica. Como ya comenté en su día, los de Porcelanosa enviaron dos ánforas antiguas como regalo de bodas, y semanas más tarde, se encontraron con una réplica del puding inglés que se sirvió en el banquete con una tarjeta de agradecimiento de los Príncipes de Gales.

=======================================

In English (kind of) via Google:

He will be finally next the 2 of July when the match of pole of the Glass of Porcelanosa is celebrated to the outskirts of London. She will count on the attendance of the very same Prince of Wales, that will dispute to the party with its son prince Guillermo, as well as his already wife, the Duchess of Cornuelles, who will follow the end from the honor theater box, where also will be Isabel Preysler, actor Pierce Brosnan, the Argentine model Valeria Mazza and guapísimo Andrés Velencoso.

Without a doubt, the celebration promises more of a holder. The last one in adding itself has been Brosnan, that these days still tears the pages out of the daisy to know if he will be the next James at sight Bond of which it is not turning out far from easy to find who replaces to him. It seems to be that all the problem came by a cache subject - the actor requested more than what they offered-and to him who knows if at sight of as they are the Brosnan things he does not end up again being contained the suit of the agent with license to kill.

But the appointment of day 2 promises much and. It will be the first time that Carlos of England goes already to an act of Porcelanosa with Camila like his legal wife. Other years the pair has presided over east match. Then its relation was public and well-known, but it was not formalized and it even counted on the rejection of the majority, that never saw with good eyes "the rival" of the missing Morning call. As it says the song, "how we have changed".

The Prince of Wales maintains Straits bows with this company/signature of ceramics that collaborates with the beneficial associations that he presides over and by that traveled until its seat of Castellón to know the factory. As I already commented in its day, those of Porcelanosa sent two old amphoras like wedding present, and weeks later, were with an retort of puding English that used in the banquet with a gratefulness card of the Princes of Wales.

Court & Social: Rusedski misses out on the spies who love tennis

A pity Greg Rusedski is out. No sooner had he nominated the Bond movies as his ideal specialist Mastermind subject, than 007s Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan and George Lazenby (Pam Shriver's husband) all infiltrated the perimeters of the All England Club. Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton are presumably out there, still under cover.

The BBC has a streaming video of him up online. It's about 7-8 minutes long.

Pierce at the La Copa Porcelanosa in England on July nd

[image]

Why do Spanish online news agencies seemingly always have the WORST quality photos?

El Príncipe Carlos sudó la camiseta

Con el dorsal número 4 en su camiseta y sus botas de montar el Príncipe de Gales demostró que sigue siendo una figura a la hora de disputar un torneo de polo. Lo hizo este fin de semana en el campo de Coworth Park, en Sunninghill, con motivo de la Copa Porcelanosa, trofeo que nuevamente contó con su presencia y que se hizo a beneficio de la Fundación de Lucha Contra la Osteoporosis que preside su esposa, la duquesa de Cornualles. Por eso era Camila quien estaba anunciada en las invitaciones, sólo que a última hora tuvo que suspender su asistencia debido a un empeoramiento en la salud de su padre.

Carlos de Inglaterra jugo en el equipo de Porcelanosa junto a su hijo, el Príncipe Enrique, que fue la figura del torneo. Ese día, su otro hijo, Guillermo, se encontraba de viaje en Australia y por eso no pudo acompañar a su padre y a los anfitriones de Porcelanosa, lista que encabezó el presidente de esa firma de azulejos, Manuel Colonque.

«Estoy muy preocupado por la sequía que tienen en España», dijo el Príncipe de Gales, un hombre comprometido con el medio ambiente y la arquitectura.

«Tengo muchas ganas de ir con Camila a España», añadió, mientras evocaba los buenos recuerdos que tiene de sus veranos en Mallorca y de la simpatía de los españoles. Tras felicitarle por su reciente boda, el Príncipe contestó que «soy un hombre absolutamente feliz». Se le nota.

Carlos de Inglaterra estuvo lo que se dice adorable. Su hijo se quedaba al margen mientras el Príncipe posaba con el grupo de invitados de Porcelanosa que viajó a Londres, desde Isabel Preysler al actor Pierce Brosnan, pasando por el campeón de golf Sergio García, el modelo Andrés Valencoso, la argentina Valeria Mazza y el joven Gonzalo Miró.

Entrega del mantón

Preysler le entregó al Príncipe el mantón de Manila que llevaban como regalo para Camila y que era obra de la artesana Ángeles Espinar. En su taller de Villamanrique de la Condesa, en Sevilla, se ha realizado esta obra de arte que tiene bordados de flores y pájaros exóticos.

Tras el partido de polo se sirvió un té y allí Gonzalo Miró me contó que se va en septiembre a Nueva York a estudiar cine y que ha vendido su casa de Somosaguas «porque era muy grande para mí y prefiero estar en el centro». Andrés Valencoso también regresa a la ciudad de los rascacielos tras desfilar en Milán para Armani, mientras que Isabel Preysler comentó que aún no sabe dónde irá de vacaciones. Seguramente intentará que nadie se entere para que la dejen tranquila.

Entre los asistentes se comentó que estaba la novia del Príncipe Enrique, aunque la pareja evitó que nadie les retratara. Agradecido por la ayuda que la empresa española dedica siempre a las fundaciones con las que colabora, y preocupado por el estado de su suegro, el Príncipe regresó a su residencia en el helicóptero que le esperaba, no sin antes alegrarse por la noticia del embarazo de la Princesa de Asturias. «¡Cómo llovía el día de su boda!», recordó mirando al cielo. El hijo de la Reina Isabel cumplió con ese dicho de que los ingleses siempre hablan del tiempo.

No photos of Pierce but it says he took his mother.

Diez Minutes

También compitió su padre, el príncipe de Gales, que ganó la Copa Porcelanosa en un partido benéfico en el que la gran ausente fue Camila Parker.

El príncipe Enrique sonríe abiertamente tras ganar su equipo el partido de polo Copa Porcelanosa. Su novia, Chelsy Davy, estuvo viéndole jugar.

Camila Parker, duquesa de Cornualles, fue la gran ausente del partido de polo benéfico que disputaron el Príncipe de Gales y su hijo Enrique para conseguir en Coworth Park (Reino Unido), propiedad del sultán de Brunei, la Copa Porcelanosa.

Según palabras del propio príncipe Carlos, su mujer no pudo asistir por encontrarse acompañando a su padre, el mayor Bruce Shand, de 89 años, que está enfermo y al que Camila no había podido visitar últimamente a causa de sus compromisos oficiales.

El Príncipe de Gales resaltó su agradecimiento a Porcelanosa por la contribución de 25.000 libras esterlinas (40.000 euros) a la Fundación contra la osteoporosis que preside la duquesa de Cornualles, así como a otras causas benéficas que él preside, por los jóvenes sin trabajo y los Gurkha (tropas de Nepal que prestan servicio bajo bandera británica), con cantidades idénticas.

El príncipe Enrique, que jugó el partido con ganas y mucha destreza, estuvo acompañado de su novia, Chelsy Davy.

La joven se quedó en los coches dispuestos del príncipe de Gales junto al helicóptero que les había llevado a Coworth Park.

Al partido de polo, además de Carlos y su hijo pequeño, asistieron una serie de personalidades como el actor Pierce Brosnan, que estaba acompañado por su madre; el golfista Sergio García, la modelo argentina Valeria Mazza y su marido; el modelo Andrés Velencoso, Gonzalo Miró, Tomás Terry e Isabel Preysler.

Rodeando al Príncipe de Gales vemos a Valeria Mazza, Sergio García, Isabel Preysler, Pierce Brosnan, Andrés Velencoso y Gonzalo Miró.
Enrique, un gran jugador.

Estos dos últimos entregaron al príncipe Carlos, en nombre de Manuel Colonques, director general de Porcelanosa, un mantón de Manila para su mujer.

De color café con leche y bordado con temas orientales y sevillanos en tonos pastel, inspirados en mantones del siglo XIX, les ha llevado confeccionarlo ocho meses a Mª Ángeles Espinar y a su hija en su talleres de Villamanrique de la Condesa (Sevilla).

El Príncipe confesó a Isabel que no conocía dicha prenda y le preguntó si estaba hecho en China, “porque en China ahora se hace todo”.

El Príncipe de Gales tampoco estaba enterado del embarazo de la princesa Letizia y, tras conocerlo, comentó: “Me alegro mucho. ¡Qué bien, una nueva generación!”.

Además, al preguntarle si pasaría algunos días de este verano en España, añadió: Ojalá. Nos encantaría, aunque todavía no sabemos lo que haremos. Adoramos España, porque los españoles son siempre muy amables y calurosos; el problema es que siempre quieren que vayamos a otro sitio, aunque a nosotros nos gustaría ir allí.

El príncipe hizo estas declaraciones en un ambiente relajado, días después de que se haya sabido que, ante la duda de si Enrique era hijo del príncipe Carlos o James Hewitt, se le hizo la prueba del ADN cuando tenía 11 años.

Fue en 1995 y, finalmente, se demostró que era un Windsor.

One of them blurted out, "Hey, it's James Bond!"

The man was Pierce Brosnan and he told members of the group that just by listening to their singing, (they were singing Fijian songs), he knew they were from Fiji.

STAR WATCH: Actor Pierce Brosnan, aka James Bond, and his wife, Keely Shaye Smith, were a bit surprised to be greeted by a familiar face when they checked into the Halekulani hotel for some rest and recuperation. Janis Clapoff, new Halekulani g.m., is from Santa Barbara, Calif., where she was managing director of the iconic San Ysidro Ranch and g.m. of the Simpson House Inn, where many celebrities stayed. Brosnan thrilled the Halekulani staff, as well as guests dining at La Mer, with his gift of a watercolor of the Diamond Head landscape he painted from his suite.

Clintons enjoying Kaua'i's food, trails

By Jan TenBruggencate

LIHU'E, Kaua'i — Former President Bill Clinton and his family will end a casual Kaua'i vacation today, after some hiking, golfing, shopping and eating out — just like other tourists.

Clinton is accompanied by his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, and daughter Chelsea, along with a cadre of U.S. Secret Service personnel.

"They've been doing the things most vacationers do," said Al Joaquin, special agent in charge at the Secret Service office in Honolulu.

The family has been staying at a private luxury home in Ha'ena. They've been reported hiking on the Hanakapi'ai portion of the Kalalau Trail. Clinton has golfed at Princeville with Hanalei resident and actor Pierce Brosnan.

Yes, thankyou, Mr. Journalist for that information - now I'll know precisely where to go when next I randomly choose a vacation destination.

Golfing with the Prez, eh? Nothing like having your swing critiqued by the Secret Service. Teeing off with loaded pistols nearby, no pressure there. Pierce was quoted in the past as saying he and Clinton shared a "mutual friend." Any speculation as to who that might be? My guess: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Anyway I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall on that gold course - or rather a fly on the golf-cart. Perhaps they traded secrets: PB revealing the real story about the Bond sacking and what Hallie Berry is like up close and personal. Bill could reveal what he knows about UFO's, the middle east. I can say with certainty that both men are skilled in the art of keeping secrets.

I hope the senator got to lunch with Keely and they traded stories on their unique and dynamic menfolk. I truly admire Bill as a President, but he could stand to learn much from Pierce's faithfulness and raw personal honor.

The San Francisco Chronicle has a nice article about Pierce being at the Mill Valley Festival. Here's the link and the story is below:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/10/08/DDGP7F3SR01.DTL

At Mill Valley festival, Pierce Brosnan meets and greets with the debonair grace of, well, 007
Ruthe Stein, Chronicle Senior Movie Writer

Saturday, October 8, 2005

Anyone out drinking in Mill Valley on Thursday evening may have spotted the actor formerly known as James Bond. As his new movie "The Matador" played at the Mill Valley Film Festival, Pierce Brosnan made the rounds of the local bars -- "all two of them," he quipped.

Looking impossibly debonair in a black velvet suit that set off his salt-and-pepper hair and newly acquired beard, Brosnan arrived at the festival's opening night with his in-laws, Thomas Smith and Sharon Rose, who live in the Bay Area. At an intimate pre-screening party, Rose confidently said her son-in-law would appear as 007 again -- despite reports that he'd been summarily dismissed from Her Majesty's Secret Service after four Bond flicks that revived the franchise. Thinking I had a scoop, I pressed Rose for the source of her information. Turns out it had to do -- appropriately enough considering her name -- with flowers.

She's passionate about them, a fervor Brosnan indulges by bringing her white lilies whenever he and his wife, Keely, visit. "I absolutely predict Pierce will make a fifth Bond movie because flowers always come arranged in groups of five," Rose told me.

Laughing, Brosnan said his mother-in-law had confided her florid rule of five to him earlier in the day. He's still clueless about why he lost the gig. "They said I wanted too much money, which is nonsense." A more likely explanation is his attempt to give the movies an edge. "I really wanted Quentin Tarantino to direct the next one, and Quentin wanted to do it. I think that scared the producers."

"The Matador," a hit at the Sundance Film Festival and a definite crowd pleaser Thursday night, plays on Brosnan's secret agent image. His character, Julian, is "like James Bond on his worst day," director Richard Shepard explained. As a paid assassin, Julian has a license to kill, but is prone to anxiety attacks in the act. Like Bond, he wakes up with beautiful women whom he can't always immediately identify. Unlike Bond, noting the purple polish on one of his conquest's toenails as she sleeps, he rummages through her bag and gives himself a pedicure.

There are also subtle hints that Julian may be bisexual. "Actually I think of him as tri-sexual -- he'll try anything," said Shepard, who wrote the script and sent it to Brosnan's production company as a sample of his work, hoping to be hired to script a "Thomas Crown Affair" sequel. A few weeks later, as Shepard was in his underwear watching "Oprah" "as every good writer is at 4 in the afternoon," Brosnan called and said he would like to star in and produce "The Matador."

Brosnan admitted that he felt conflicted about playing Julian, who is mean to kids and small dogs. "I jumped ship one weekend. I didn't think I could do that to the audience I've built up." Instead, he worked with Shepard on toning down some of the character's most outrageous behavior.

Brosnan appeared for a Q & A following the screening. Perhaps under the influence of his pub crawl, he had shed his jacket and rolled up the sleeves on his crisp white shirt. He was asked if had any hesitation about a scene calling for him to stroll through an elegant Mexico City hotel lobby clad only in black briefs and cowboy boots.

"I did have a few moments of reflection right before when I still had a robe on," he replied. A co-producer was by his side, and he suggested Brosnan do the scene in his pajama bottoms. "But by that time I felt the train has left the station, so off I went. I do wish I'd sucked in my stomach, though."

Shepard added that only four of the people milling around the lobby were extras. All the rest were hotel guests. "They said, 'I love this hotel.' "

Guests at the Mill Valley Film Festival wound up feeling the same way about Brosnan, who couldn't have been more charming. He schmoozed his way through the pre- and post-screening parties, chatting amicably with major festival donors introduced to him by festival director Mark Fishkin. One of them, Patricia Sarris, asked for an autograph, the first time she felt moved to do so in 16 years of attending opening nights. When the pen she handed Brosnan turned out not to have any ink in it, he went off in search of one that worked. The conversation in the ladies' room consisted mostly of "Can you believe how handsome he is?"

A huge jazz fan, Brosnan planned to hit some jazz clubs later that night. This weekend, he leaves for Santa Fe to start shooting a post-Civil War Western called "Seraphim Falls" with Liam Neeson. So there are more cowboy boots in Brosnan's future even if there's no silver BMW 750i.

IRISH INDEPENDENT: Awards night was long on red carpet but short on glitz and real celebrities

11/07/2005

INOPPORTUNE toilet breaks and boisterous promises to get 'locked' - surely this isn't Ireland's glitziest showbiz night?

It may be our answer to the Oscars, but Saturday night's Irish Film and Television Awards were long on red carpet, short on A-list stars.

Hollywood actress Mischa Barton of hit teen series 'The OC' tried to inject some Tinseltown glamour into proceedings, but one starlet does not an Oscars night make.

Jeremy Irons, Sinead Cusack and Vanessa Redgrave also lent some sparkle to the occasion.

And the usual contingent of Irish celebrities - including Andrea Corr, Rosanna Davidson and a gaggle of RTE presenters - were happy to don their designer labels. But the night seemed to be lacking in serious star wattage. It was more sham than glam.

As is the tradition with many such shows, several recipients were "unfortunately not able to make it" to accept their gongs, but obliged with a pre-recorded message.

Liam Neeson, who won Best Actor for 'Kinsey', had been filmed being presented with a cactus in lieu of the golden statuette by Pierce Brosnan. Both were in Santa Fe filming a western.

A man well-qualified to compare the IFTAs with the Academy Awards, director Terry George, preferred the Irish way of doing things. "The atmosphere is electric and drunken down there," he said, after collecting his second of two awards for 'Hotel Rwanda'.

"It's much more relaxed than the Oscars, you can sit around and have a few drinks with none of the same nerves. It's great."

The undisputed star of the night was veteran film and television actor David Kelly (76), who was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Video tributes to him came from Colin Farrell, Clive Owen, Johnny Depp and Tim Burton who worked with Kelly on his recent hit, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.

Kelly, whose acting career has spanned six decades, dismissed the possibility of retirement. "They'll have to take me out and shoot me," he quipped.

One lady may not have made it to Hollywood just yet, but budding actress Winnie Maughan (13), the star of 'Pavee Lackeen', which scooped the Best Film award, will have lessons to learn before she makes it to LA.

She and her sister missed out on seeing director Perry Ogden get his award for 'Breakthrough Talent' as both were in the bathroom.

The bashful actress was a breath of fresh air compared to her Tinseltown peers. She said she hoped the success of her debut film would mean "people don't come up and laugh in my face anymore".

Among the big winners was controversial TV drama 'Pure Mule', which traces the drunken, drug-addled lives of young people in the midlands. It swept the boards, winning honours in five of the eight categories in which it was nominated.

There was disappointment for Grainne Seoige, who lost out on the award for TV Personality of the Year for a third year. The Sky News Ireland presenter was seen off by TV3 presenter Mark Cagney after a heavily publicised campaign by both their employers. "Some people say it was cheesy or tacky, but others say 'You're in a race, let's go for it'. We took the mick out of me and sent ourselves up," said Cagney.

Shoppers on Robson Street did a double take over the weekend after spotting James Bond himself out for a little shoe shopping.

A polite Pierce Brosnan delighted staff while browsing for footwear at "New Balance", before taking a stroll through the crowded shopping district. Brosnan is in town for the lead role in Butterfly On A Wheel, about a crazed kidnapper who targets the perfect family. The flick also stars Scottish actor Gerard Butler, who recently had the lead in the film version of Phantom of the Opera.

Vancouver: Scoop Scoop Scoop...
Joy's Journal for the week of April 3...

According to my super spy, the performance of Cesaria Evor at the Orpheum was simply fantastic! The show was sold out completely and wowed the packed house. She performed barefoot as usual with a three-foot square of purple shag rug under her feet and a small table with cigarettes waiting for her.

She lit up once on stage - unheard of these days but she has such a grandmotherly feel that no one would challenge her. Rich voice, charming personality, very little English and the softest hands imaginable.

Her band comprised of nine men, including a Vietnamese with a dazzling smile and another with sultry moves that were mesmorizing!

But the scoop is that sitting right there in the centre of the audience was the gentleman who normally does mesmorizing of his own - James Bond aka Pierce Brosnan, looking as handsome and debonair as usual...

PIERCE BROSNAN, in the city shooting Butterfly On A Wheel, had a Tom Jones moment in the Sutton Place hotel lobby recently. Instead of panties, though, visiting Ottawanian Tena How suddenly produced a bra -- don't ask -- which Brosnan autographed.

How passed the garment to pal Misty Wojak, who promptly added it to donations for a Soroptimists of the Langleys auction called Bras For a Cause.

Smart move. The Brosnan bra fetched $400, helping the business and professional women's organization reportedly raise $40,000 to enhance the Fraser Valley Cancer Agency's fund for a high-dosage radiation unit.

A bra signed by Robin Williams went for $400, too. But aptly named singer Michael Buble uplifted the bar to $1,400. Bill Clinton, who you'd think might have lingerie lying around his office, sent a signed copy of his book, My Life.

Having much surpassed their 2005 event's total of $26,000, the Soroptimists' cup runneth over, you might say.

Guess I'm not the only one to notice the scary surgical faces at this event. I won't post them because they're scary but you can follow the link.

LA Times: Karl Lagerfeld shows his face in Hollywood

Was Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld's appearance in Beverly Hills designed (sorry) to boost the house’s sagging image in the aftermath of the 2006 award season dress debacle?

C’mon, you remember that style scandal: Chanel gave Reese Witherspoon a so-called vintage frock to wear to the 2006 Golden Globes that had been previously worn by Kirstin Dunst to a 2005 Globes party? Ouch.

But apparently Herr Karl is above all that mundane mortal stuff. He was here Friday night strictly to unveil and celebrate (er, publicize) a champagne, Dom Perignon Rose Vintage 1996, with ads photographed by Lagerfeld. And you thought all he could do was design dresses! He also shot the ads for 1998 vintage uncorked last year. Yeah, I know. I don’t much care either.

Anyway, the party was held high in the hills in a private home and yes, A-list stars came out dressed in Chanel attire: Eva Herzigova, Jessica Simpson, Maria Bello, Thora Birch, Kelly Lynch and Pierce Brosnan. Suffice to say that Lindsay Lohan looked non too pleased about being forced to pose with Lagerfeld and her nemesis Paris Hilton who giggled throughout pal Brandon Davis's recent video rant about Lohan's genitalia. (I'll show you Fire Crotch, you little -------)

Non A-listers Brittany Murphy, Courtney Love and Mickey Rourke were also there, no doubt invited for the unpredictable edgy frisson of self destruction they bring that every good party needs.

Both Love and Rourke have taken self-improvement too much to heart. Or rather, face.

Rourke’s distorted kisser – a seriously surgical work in progress - is starting to look even more cartoony than that of his “Sin City” prosthestic palooka.

Love, meanwhile, appeared to be staying on the straight and narrow. She didn’t even bare her breasts once!

But judging from her painfully immobilized kisser, she may have seriously ODed on Botox in the past few weeks.

LA designer Jennifer Nicholson, Jack’s daughter also showed up to see Karl. And is it just me or does she not look just like her dad in drag?

Hey, if her fashion career flops, she could always get a job starring in a a tranny production of "The Shining" or "Five Easy Pieces."

Finally, can we talk about the incredibly shrinking Lagerfeld?

A vaporous mist of his former self, we suspect the designer has been receiving text messaged diet tips from Nicole Richie, who was noticeably not at the party but was probably not home eating dinner either.

LA Times: Sean Connery's Hollywood fans are shaken n' stirred

If Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then flattered you must be,” AFI Chair Sir Howard Stringer told Sir Sean Connery, the iconic Scottish actor best known for being Bond, James Bond. “Because at any moment in time, people around the world are doing Sean Connery impersonations.”

That was certainly true at AFI’s Life Achievement Award dinner at the Kodak Theatre Thursday. Almost everyone paying homage to Connery - Mike Myers, Tippi Hedren, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Harrison Ford, Andy Garcia, Craig Ferguson, “Deadwood’s” Ian McShane and Eddie Izzard - did their best (and often worst) Connery accent.

Connery’s “First Knight” costar Julia Ormond recalled that while the rest of the cast struggled in and out of period costumes, Connery had his fastened with Velcro so he could get to the golf course fast. And when she went to audition for Sabrina” with Harrison Ford, Connery gave her this advice: "Give him a Swiss kiss."

“What’s a Swiss kiss?" she asked. (Cue the accent) “It’s the same as a French kiss,” he replied. “Only you yodel.”

Pierce Brosnan recalled seeing “Goldfinger” at age 11 in London and finally meeting Connery after a dangerous fireball stunt in Brosnan’s first Bond flick. “We got the take and later on the lot, I ran into Sean who said (cue the accent), “I saw what you did. Pretty good. Are they paying you enough money?”

His “Untouchables” costar Garcia recalled Connery impatiently watching director David Mamet try to get Garcia to turn towards the camera so they could see his face. Cut the accent. “C’mon kid. Its not Hamlet,” Connery groused from off-set. Several takes later, Mamet whined, 'We still can’t see both your eyes.' Connery rolled his eyes and said (accent, please), “You saw both his eyes. They’re just very close together.”

But it wasn’t all impersonations...

Mike Myers wore a kilt on the red carpet but changed to a suit for the stage. "People ask me if anything is worn under my kilt," he said. "I tell them 'No, everything is in fine working order."

Myers admitted having a “man crush” on Connery and also owes a huge debt to him. “No James Bond. No ”Austin Powers" and no private jet for me. No Sean Connery Scottish accent. No "Shrek" Scottish accent and no vacation home in the Hamptons for me.”

Ferguson spoke of Connery’s career impact on all young Scottish lads. “Because Sean Connery had lifted the crates too, we thought the first rung on the Hollywood ladder was delivering milk on a freezing cold Scottish winter morning.”

McShane, Connery’s pal for 30-odd years, told a disjointed story about them shooting a film in “fucking freezing” Norway, a stash of Bazookas, way too much blackberry brandy and some drunken guy going “oh-oh-seven” and poking Connery all night.

Welsh singer Tom Jones sang the theme from “Thunderball” while mini-skirted dancers in white go-go boots Frugged, Twisted and Watusied around the stage. And clips of Connery in his many films – from “Marnie,” “Robin and Marian,” “The Name of the Rose,” “The Man Who Would Be King,” and all his Bond films to his Oscar-winning role in The Untouchables” - were shown throughout the evening.

George Lucas cut his speech short saying he needed to go finish writing the new Indiana Jones movie that will hopefully reunite Connery and Harrison Ford as father and son. “As Harrison reminded me last year, ‘Indiana Jones’ father is getting pretty old. Come to think of so is Indiana Jones.”

Ford pretended to be baffled by the father/son casting, since Connery is only 12 years older. “Which means either he looks older than his age or I looker younger than mine,” he growled.

Finally, kilted Scots musicians played the bagpipes while Connery made the long walk through the wildly applauding audience to accept his award.He even danced a little jig to the music onstage.

“When I first heard about this I had no idea it was such a big deal,” Connery began. “But then I saw the list of people who have received it in the past and I began to get nervous, although not as nervous as I am at this moment.”

Visibly moved and yes, even misty-eyed, Connery continued: “I’m very happy to be here and happy that you are all here too. I’m more than pleased you liked my work. I must admit it looked pretty good from where I was sitting.”

Looked pretty good from where we were sitting too, Sir Sean. The AFI tribute to Connery will be telecast at 9 P.M. on the USA Network, June 21.

Associated Press

By SANDY COHEN, AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES - Kilted bagpipers inspired Sean Connery to perform an impromptu jig on the Kodak Theater stage as he accepted the American Film Institute's highest honor.

"I had no idea this was such a big deal," the 75-year-old actor said as he was presented with the organization's 34th Life Achievement Award Thursday night.

Connery was as cool and composed as James Bond as he thanked the celebrity-studded crowd, but at times during the two-hour praisefest, he looked almost misty-eyed.

Directors George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, and actors Andy Garcia, Harrison Ford and Mike Myers were among those who feted the Scottish star.

Garcia called Connery "one of my greatest inspirations."

"Shake and stir that, baby," he said, invoking one of the actor's most famous 007 lines. The two shared the screen in 1987's "The Untouchables," for which Connery won the Oscar for best supporting actor.

Connery became an international icon as the big-screen embodiment of Ian Fleming's suave secret agent, "Bond, James Bond." He played the martini-drinking ladies' man in seven films.

"I've walked in your cinematic footsteps," said Bond successor Pierce Brosnan. "My dreams have come true in large part thanks to you."

Myers, wearing a kilt and a tuxedo jacket, lauded Connery for inspiring the popular Austin Powers character.

"Of all the iconic, superstar Scottish actors of the last 50 years, Connery is definitely in the top five," Myers joked. "Women want to be with you and men want to be you. I'll admit it, I have a man crush."

Both Myers and singer Tom Jones called Connery "a man's man."

"That's why women love him," said Jones, who, flanked by go-go dancers, performed the theme from the 1965 Bond film, "Thunderball." "He's a very natural man and I think that's what comes across in everything he does."

Actress Tippi Hedren, who costarred with Connery in the 1964 film, "Marnie," called him "the sexiest man you could ever, ever, ever lay eyes on."

He "took sexy to a whole new stratosphere," said actress
Julia Ormond, who played Guinevere to his King Arthur in 1995's "First Knight."

She also celebrated the actor's sense of humor, describing him as "closer to Clouseau than 007."

Lucas, who cast Connery in 1989's "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," said he "nearly had a heart attack" when he learned of the actor's retirement. He said he is dreaming up ways to kill off Connery's character in the franchise's fourth installment.

"You're one of a kind," Lucas said.

Past AFI honoree Ford, presented Connery — his screen dad in "Last Crusade" — with this year's award.

"John Wayne gave us the old West. Jimmy Stewart gave us our town," he said. "You gave us the world."

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Connery came into acting through bodybuilding. After he placed third in the 1950 Mr. Universe contest, he recalled in a video segment Thursday, he was invited to join the English soccer team Manchester United but opted to act instead. A friend told him it would be easy: "All you have to do is look like you're an American."

An ardent supporter of Scotland, Connery was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000.

The ceremony, which also included a videotaped tribute from the newest Bond,
Daniel Craig, will be broadcast on the USA Network on June 21.

Previous honorees include Lucas, Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Bette Davis,
Jack Nicholson and Elizabeth Taylor.

Brian De Palma might be surprised to learn that David Mamet and not he directed "The Untouchables," though I'm sure alpha dog scriptwriter (and sometime director) Mamet thought he should be calling the shots instead. Maybe he was poking his nose in during the scene but that's not quite the same thing, LOL!

Either Mr Garcia is going senile or Ms Snead, the reporter, seems to have erred in reporting. I'm banking on Ms Snead since that fireball encounter with Pierce happenned on the set of TWINE, not PB's first Bond film and the odds that both Garcia and PB are going senile as oppossed to Ms Snead being sloppy aren't in her favour.

It amazes me that someone working an entertainment beat on The LA Times wouldn't know Brian DePalma directed "The Untouchables." Maybe it was just a slip. Then again, I work at a library reference desk so I'm in a state of constant amazement at what people don't know.<wink> It's job security, I keep reminding myself.

LA Times: Connery shaken, stirred by tribute

The movies' first James Bond gets emotional as he receives AFI Life Achievement Award.

By Susan King, Times Staff Writer

Sean Connery, the Scotsman who was the first — and, some say, the best — James Bond had to fight back tears several times Thursday evening as he was feted as the recipient of the 34th annual American Film Institute Life Achievement Award.

The 75-year-old Oscar-winner, whose film career spans nearly five decades, joins the ranks of such actors as Clint Eastwood, James Cagney, Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck, Tom Hanks, Sidney Poitier and Jack Nicholson who have also received the AFI honor.

ADVERTISEMENT
The 90-minute presentation at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood was sentimental, emotional and often R-rated funny. It will air June 21 at 9 p.m. on USA.

The evening's festivities opened with a kilt-adorned Mike Myers arriving on stage accompanied by bagpipes and drums.

"Sean Connery's portrayal of James Bond was the inspiration for Austin Powers," Myers told the star-studded crowd. "You, Mr. Connery, were my dad's hero because you are a man's man. And I admit I have a man crush."

After showing pictures of a chiseled, muscular young Connery when he came in third in the Mr. Universe contest in 1953, Myers proclaimed: "My man crush deepens."

Julia Ormond, who starred opposite Connery in 1995's "First Knight," acknowledged that the actor may act debonair on screen but in real life he's a klutz prone to spilling things. "He's closer to Clouseau than 007," she said.

Director Steven Spielberg, who worked with Connery in 1989's "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," described him as "the man who leaves us shaken and stirred" as he introduced a series of clips from Bond movies including "Dr. No," "From Russia With Love" and "Goldfinger."

Fellow Bond star Pierce Brosnan recollected the time — Aug. 12, 1964 — when at the age of 11 his love and passion for acting took hold after his parents took him to see "Goldfinger."

Brosnan also recalled the first time he met Connery — "the big man" — after he had taken over the role of Agent 007. Brosnan had spent the day filming a particularly difficult action sequence on "The World Is Not Enough" and ran into Connery in the parking lot at the film studio. Unbeknown to Brosnan, Connery had also been on the set and watched the stunt work unfold. Connery chided him: "Are they paying you enough money?"

One of the highlights of the Bond tribute was a performance of "Thunderball" by Tom Jones, who originally sang the hit tune in 1965.

Much was made during the evening about how no matter what type of character Connery played — from his Oscar-winning turn as an Irish cop in "The Untouchables" to an Arab chieftain in "The Wind and the Lion" to a Russia sub commander in "The Hunt for Red October" — he always spoke in his distinctive Scottish brogue.

"Sean never changes," said Terry Gilliam, his "Time Bandits" director, in a taped interview. "He's always Scottish."

Former AFI winner Harrison Ford presented Connery with the prestigious honor. Ford noted that he played Connery's son in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." "Dad?" quipped Ford. "He's only 12 years older than me, so how does that work?"

He added: "You gave us the world. You've been a man of action, a man of passion, a man of wisdom and a man for the ages."

As bagpipes and drums heralded his arrival on stage, Connery began to dance, much to the enjoyment of the crowd.

"I had no idea this was such a big deal," Connery told the audience. "I mean that sincerely. I am here and I'm happy you are all here. It's been a long journey…. My feet are tired but my heart is not."

USA Today

By Anthony Breznican, USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES — Sean Connery definitely didn't get away Scot free at his lifetime achievement award.

The 34th annual American Film Institute ceremony honoring the actor was part tribute and part roast as actors such as Pierce Brosnan, Andy Garcia, Harrison Ford and Tippi Hedren teased the man of the evening.

There were jokes about his advancing age (75), his longtime eagerness to escape the movie set and play golf, and his perpetual use of a Scottish accent even when playing characters who are Russian, Egyptian or Irish.

Brosnan, who paid tribute to Connery's inauguration of the James Bond character in such movies as Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger and Thunderball, recalled meeting the elder Bondsman when he was shooting 1999's The World Is Not Enough.

"One day I had to shoot this massive stunt, a huge fireball sequence. The shot required me getting on these wires," Brosnan said. "Anyway I did it – but out in the (studio) parking lot I looked up and there was the big man, Sean Connery. He said, 'I've just seen what you did there. Very good.'

I was silent, and then he asked me a question, one that has stayed with me to this very day. He said, 'Are they paying you enough money?'"

Andy Garcia, who played opposite Connery's Oscar-winning supporting role as a Chicago cop in The Untouchables, said the actor tended to show up for rehearsals in "red, polyester golf pants" so he could drift away periodically to the links.

"He worked for, like, five minutes after 18 holes of golf. After the scene I said, 'That was very clever of you, you came in already dressed for golf, you play the scene at the end of the day, you came in and said one line, they get a big close-up of you and the scene is over.'

He said, 'It's not my first barbecue.'"

Practically every anecdote was accompanied by a rough imitation of the Connery's Scottish growl.

Harrison Ford addressed Connery as "Dad …," a reference to Connery playing his father in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Star Wars creator George Lucas teased Connery for considering retirement when he's still trying – after many years – to get a fourth Indiana Jones movie on the screens.

Connery was unsentimental when accepting the award, which has previously been given to Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Steven Spielberg and Elizabeth Taylor.

He said the retrospective of his films "brought back to me lots of terrific memories of working with people who are fun, industrious, talented and enthusiastic. …. The rest of you, well – you know who you are. Making movies is either a utopia or its like shoveling (expletive) uphill."

Army Archard on the show and editing for broadcast:

After the ball was over

"Making movies is either utopia or shoveling sh*t uphill," Sean Connery kidded as he accepted his Life Achievement Award from the AFI at the Kodak Theater Thursday night. And Friday, producer Bob Gazzale and director Louis J. Horvitz were busy editing the live show by 18 minutes to air on the USA Network June 21.

Gazzale figured "we can use the 'sh--' and edit out the '--it.'" Connery, in a humorous mood managed to repeat the word a couple of times in his closing words of appreciation. His arrival on stage to accept the award from (previous winner) Harrison Ford was preceded by a long stage wait as he composed himself. But, he said, "I had no idea this was such a big deal. But I'm glad you admired my work. It brought back some memories. My feet are tired but my heart is not." Hs feet didn't seem "tired" as he jigged to the sounds of bagpipers waiting him on stage. He closed by thanking the SRO hall "for a helluva evening."

He and wife Micheline had received loving greetings from the showbiz elite all during the three-hour evening, which took place in the theater's orchestra -- converted to the banquet setting for the award show, as in the past.

Memorable moments which will not be edited from the air show will certainly be: Mike Myers -- in kilt -- making the opening remarks. Also Tom Jones warbling the "Thunderball" theme while Bond girls wiggled behind him. Plus remarks by Eddie Izzard, Ian McShane, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, James Earl Jones, Andy Garcia (from "The Untouchables"), Pierce Brosnan, Julia Ormand and Tippi Hedren who said "Sean, you gave us the world." Loving film clips were supplied also by Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Caine. A contemporary look at Connery was a seg in tribute to the new video game of "From Russia With Love" introduced by the glamourous Maria Menounos who voices "Eva" to Connery's James Bond.

The AFI will be repped on TV before the Life Achievement Award show by the June 14th CBS "100 Years -- 100 Cheers," America's most inspiring movies. Gazzale produces as does Gary Smith who also directs and who interviewed 43 guests. Sidney Poitier appears in five of the final favorite shows And Jane Fonda is seen in an emotional talk about her father, Henry -- in a remembrance of "On Golden Pond," natch. Next year will be the tenth in the series with "100 Years – 100 -- ?"

Shaken and stirred as Bond joins bash
By Mark Casci

[image]

James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan with Margaret and Patrick McHugh

James Bond fan Anne McHugh was both shaken and stirred when actor Pierce Brosnan joined her birthday meal.

She and her husband Patrick had flown to Los Angeles to celebrate her 70th birthday with their grown-up children, who work in California, when they met the star at a Malibu Beach restaurant.

To mark the occasion, Mr McHugh had asked the restaurant staff to put some candles he had brought along on to her cake.

But rather than embarrass his wife in front of the other diners by revealing her age, he had brought along candles which spelled out 007 as a tribute to his wife's love of James Bond films.
continued...

By chance, as the cake was brought out, Pierce Brosnan, star of four Bond films, entered the restaurant with his wife.

The candles immediately caught the Irish actor's attention and he came over to wish a startled Mrs McHugh a happy birthday and have his picture taken with her. She said: "It was a big surprise, that is for sure. I am a big fan of the Bond movies and really like the ones which star Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery.

"He was very friendly and had no problem with my daughter taking a picture of us. It certainly was an unexpected present."

Mr McHugh admitted he could not have planned the whole episode better if he had tried.

He said: "I had just lit the candles when my son Joe said You won't believe who has just walked in'.

"It reminded me of the line from Casablanca, of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine'.

"He came over and asked what was going on with the candles and then congratulated her and had his picture taken with us. It certainly was memorable."

Pierce Brosnan has now stepped down from his role as Bond with Daniel Craig taking over for the new film Casino Royale.

Mrs McHugh worked in the advertising department of the Telegraph & Argus until her retirement in 1994.

Globe & Mail: Where the streets are packed with stars (excerpt)

Then there's Rachel McAdams, now being spotted all over town with her honey, Ryan Gosling. She's here to shoot a forties-era film called Marriage with co-star Pierce Brosnan (who, word has it, was followed into a hotel washroom last week by an annoying male fan; apparently, a few nasty words were exchanged).

Brosnan's good humour charms city diners

Local publicist Holly Carinci was lunching Tuesday with a group, including her five-year-old son, Aiden, on the patio at Cardero's on the Coal Harbour waterfront when she noticed Pierce Brosnan seated nearby. (He's in town for his newest movie, Marriage.)

Re: PB: Out & About (II)

This is what happened next...,,

_____________________________________________________

Aiden's dad suggested to the boy that he should approach Brosnan and tell him how much he loved him in Batman.

"Which, to my horror, Aiden promptly did!" says Carinci. "Laughter erupted at the other end of the patio and Aiden returned, nonplussed."

Later, as mom took her boy the washroom, she noticed Brosnan waving.

"I waved back, sheepishly, and mouthed, 'I'm so sorry', to which he adamantly shook his head, 'No!', pointed at Aiden and gave him two thumbs up. Then, as Brosnan was leaving the restaurant, he came to Carinci's table, shook everyone's hands and introduced himself to each one.

He explained that when Aiden came to his table, he was on the phone with Danny DeVito to whom he explained, 'This young whipper-snapper has just come up to me and told me that he loved me in Batman!"

DeVito's response: "Well, tell him Penguin is on the line!" and according to Brosnan, launched into a long impression of that character.

"This man is just absolutely charming ... not to mention as handsome in person as on the screen!" raves Carinci.

The likable down-to-earth Pierce Brosnan seems to be everywhere, shopping, dining, shaking hands, posing for photos, kissing 21-year old birthday girls, chatting up kids who think he's Batman and generally making a very positive impression for other visiting so-called celebs.

He certainly impressed everyone when he dined at Rare Restaurant on Hornby last week. Said wowed Chef/Owner Brian Fowke, "What a great guy and the perfect customer!" After dinner, Pierce went back into the kitchen and thanked all the cooks for the dinner and shook everyone's hand. Very cool!...Saturday afternoon he was lunching at the Blue Water Cafe with good pal Charles Martin Smith while Sunday night, he was dining at the award-winning West with a group of 15 which included Oscar winner Chris Cooper, Rachel McAdams, director Ira Sachs, producer Steve Golin and actress Patricia Clarkson. They were celebrating the fact that Patricia had won the Creative Arts Emmy this past weekend for Outstanding Guest Actress for her work in the HBO series, Six Feet Under...

James Bond

Today at around 5:30PM I was in the back doing something... (I forget). Anyways, I went out front and as soon as I walked around the corner I noticed a man standing in line, and I thought to myself "Why does he look familiar..." Then it came to me, it was Pierce Brosnan, A.K.A 007 standing in line ordering something. Our staff at the time was mainly girls so of course all of them were like freaking out, and some little Asian customer lady was like following him about.

I just smiled at him, considering that he does live here on Kauai, so it's probably not the last time that i'll see him. Plus he was with his wife so I didn't want to be a bother. Though, one of my co-workers did ask for his autograph and he was nice enough to sign his name on a piece of reciept paper with one of our black markers lol.

He's quite casual, drives a regular Black Ford Truck and everything... I expected him to have like a nice fancy car or something Haha.

Made my day.

I'm copying and pasting Lauryn's tidbit from the Vancouver Sun here:

The former James Bond was also spotted at West Restaurant & Bar a few nights ago by iconic New York Magazine restaurant critic, Gael Greene, who's visiting Vancouver. Gorgeous Greene, who's been around the block a few times (at 21, she bedded Elvis in a Detroit hotel room and, at his request, ordered him a fried egg sandwich from room service before she departed!), tells me she was dining a few tables away from Brosnan and friends when he was approached by another diner who asked him to wish his daughter a happy 21st birthday. Brosnan happily agreed and gave the gal a big hug and kiss.

We also hear that Brosnan likes the nags -- he was spotted on Sunday at Hastings Racecourse overlooking the action, cheering them on from his table at Silks restaurant.

=============================================================

So in the past month he's been seen eating, yachting, charming, eating, walking, eating, attending Cirque du Soleil, charming, walking, eating, biking, charming, eating, buying CDs, walking, going to museums, eating, charming and at the horse races. I guess this film isn't the most time taxing and exhausting . 8-)

Variety: Supper club
Divine dinner doings at Toronto
By SHARON SWART

Posted: Sun., Sep. 17, 2006

TORONTO -- Private dinners seemed to be the social m.o. at this year's Toronto fest.

[image]

New Line staged an elegant supper Sept. 11 at Jamie Kennedy's new restaurant in Toronto's Gardiner Museum to fete "Little Children." Company's Michael Lynne, Rolf Mittweg and pic's exec Kent Alterman broke bread with helmer Todd Field and thesps Kate Winslet, Patrick Wilson and Noah Emmerich. Co-CEO Lynne shared his passion for winemaking on Long Island, while Emmerich revealed his silversmithing talents.

Private noshes continued Sept. 12 with ICM's high-powered and high-altitude gathering atop the Manulife building at Panorama Lounge. ICM's indie department topper Hal Sadoff said he preferred to keep the soiree more intimate than the agency's sprawling Toronto bash in 2005. Sony Classics topper Michael Barker noted, "I couldn't even get in last year, so I just left."

Across town at popular Italian eatery Sotto Sotto, Warner Bros. held an intimate dinner for "The Fountain," with helmer Darren Aronofsky and thesps Rachel Weisz and Ellen Burstyn on hand. As pic's producer Eric Watson made his way out of the restaurant, he stopped to pay homage to Pierce Brosnan, who was having his own private dinner with Liam Neeson.

Most ended up at the HFPA/InStyle bash at the Windsor Arms Hotel later Tuesday night. Helmers Guillermo del Toro and Larry Fessenden mixed with execs including Par Vantage's John Lesher and Fox Searchlight's Peter Rice and talent including Derek Luke, Giovanni Ribisi, Scott Caan and "The Fountain" crew. Watson, whose pic drew some mixed reactions in Toronto, added of the experience and of the film: "It's like rocky road. It's not for everyone, but delicious to some."

===========================================================

Pay homage?

Re: PB: Out & About (II)
Post by sparklingblue on Sept 19, 2006, 4:15pm

It makes me think of Mr. Watson whipping out some high tech equipment so he can make a honorary speech accompanied by a video presentation right in the middle of the restaurant.

Or alternatively he might have just fallen to his knees for some worshipping.

THE IRISH TIMES: All the Irish in our lift

09/22/2006

By my count, there were only 12 Irishmen in Toronto for the film festival, yet five of us turned up in a hotel elevator at the same time one afternoon.

Pierce Brosnan, attending the world premiere of Seraphim Falls, said yes, he will go to see Casino Royale and he wishes Daniel Craig well as his 007 successor. Liam Neeson, who plays Brosnan's nemesis in the American western, is taking time out from movies while his wife, Natasha Richardson, joins her mother Vanessa Redgrave, Toni Collette and Claire Danes in Fateless director Lajos Koltai's new drama, Evening.

Gabriel Byrne, meanwhile, was in Toronto for Jindabyne, Lantana director Ray Lawrence's Raymond Carver adaptation co-starring Laura Linney. Byrne returns to Canada next month to join Susan Sarandon as childhood Holocaust survivors reunited 40 years later in Emotional Arithmetic.

Completing our Irish quintet was David Flynn, a Dubliner who started out as a production assistant on Braveheart when it shot in Ireland, worked as an agent with ICM and is now a producer in his own right with Seraphim Falls, which has a fourth Irish connection in Angelica Huston as a medicine hawker. There hasn't been a more Irish western since John Ford's heyday.

Interesting. Haven't seen the venue mentioned but I wonder if PB will be speaking at the Oxford Union. Of course all sorts of leaders, luminaries, and celebs have done so. Sometimes actors / rock stars, etc. just talk about their careers or an issue or cause close to them. There can also be a debate proposition that's germane to the speaker. I remember hearing that adult film star Ron Jeremy spoke on the question "Is pornography de-humanizing?" or something like that. Hmm. Imagine the kvetching if his speech ran overtime -- "He was banging on for hours!" LOL! Luckily the SMA no longer has Julian Noble's mustache and wardrobe or the Oxonians might have posed him the same debate question. <wink>

Some reports from the event:

From nicajule on the IMDB:

I was there - main topic of his speech was about 'passion' and how it was important 'for life, work and family' etc. Also talked a bit about James Bond and how it enabled him to have a wider stage. He emphasised that he is a 'working actor' and has always considered himself one. When asked which of Stu from 'Mrs Doubtfire', Thomas Crown or James Bond he thought he was more like, he said 'Stu'. Seemed to have a good sense of humour - one question was about whether it was true that he'd been offered the role of James Bond because he had more chest hair than the other guy they were looking at - he made to undo his shirt (but stopped obviously!).

He was also asked about his political views on America, having lived there for 23 years: he said he would be voting Democrat in the next election. When asked about his views on gay marriage, he said that everyone should be allowed to marry and love whom they choose. He also talked about the environment and how the future was that of our generation - we'll be the ones taking care of it.

He's clearly in good shape and was wearing a very sharp suit! His accent was more Irish-American than in most of his films. He says he's looking to do more romantic comedies in the next few years and obviously he'll move forward with his production company (Irish DreamTime).

The queue stretched all the way down the main street and 2,000 people who queued didn't get in. Combined with that and the fact that he's turned down the Oxford Union 5 times, I'd say those of us who were there were pretty lucky! There was a great atmosphere. Hope that interests some of you - thought I'd write it up before I forgot too much of it.

========================================

From another student's online blog:

"I know nothing of the man's body hair"

That's a quote from Pierce Brosnan... stated after he started unbuttoning his shirt so we could see that he does in fact have a good amount of chest hair which helped him get the part of James Bond supposedly... and I got to see all of this live at the Oxford Union tonight! That's right - I GOT TO SEE PIERCE BROSNAN! By the way, the quote is about Daniel Craig who's the next James Bond and it was in response to a question about had he gotten to inspect Craig's chest hair - it made me laugh...

Pierce Brosnan
OXFORD SPEECH
10-13-06

Good Evening one and all and thank you for inviting me to speak tonight. As a young boy attending Catholic school in Ireland, I never imagined I would be given the honor of addressing some of the brightest minds in the world at Oxford University.

So I had to ask myself, what am I going to talk about tonight? I suppose, if I could distill it down to one word it would be passion. We all have something deep inside of us, a spark if you will, that ignites our spirit and makes us feel more alive than anything else. As you transition from students into young adults, entering a world that is rapidly changing, you will make your way in the fields of economics, politics, science, medicine, law, education and communications or you may embrace the arts, as I have.

And on your paths to success, you will find yourself addressing a number of social, environmental and other problems in society. But keep in mind; we NEED your 21st century minds to solve our 21st century problems. You have the rare opportunity to move into positions of leadership. You have a vested interest in following your passion, in making informed and empowered choices, so together we can indeed change the world, for it will be your world tomorrow.

I have been inspired on my own path in life by a wide variety of people from Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, to his Holiness The Dalai Lama, to my dear friend Dr. Jane Goodall. And I too, continue to be a student of the world studying a cause or issue, pouring my soul into anew character, or learning more about the world we inhabit. My experience and knowledge thus far have led me to the conclusion that one must be TRUE TO ONESELF.

By following your hearts desires and passions each and every one of you can and will make a difference. As an artist and environmentalist, I feel each of us has a responsibility to discover our place in nature... in society... in ourselves, and to revere the interconnectedness of all things. We must all work toward a way of life that is ecologically sustainable, fulfilling, and just. While the movement and transformation toward sustainability has begun, it is still very much in its infancy, yet there are entire industries waiting to be born that will yield enormous and universal returns. You are all forces of nature, the catalysts and agents of change, the architects and engineers of a new tomorrow.

You will shape and create our reality every moment of every day, like no generation before. You have the power to define our future and to become global patriots fighting for the Earth and all its people to see our complex world through compassionate eyes, respecting our differences while celebrating the gift of life. Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it. - Ancient Chinese proverb. Good Luck, and follow your heart. It’s the right guide to everything.

HELLO: BONO'S WIFE ALISON HOSTS CHARITY T-SHIRT LAUNCH
SEND TO A FRIEND

19 OCTOBER 2006

When it comes to fighting world poverty, Bono and his wife Ali Hewson make quite a team. The pair were in London this week to promote their fashion label's ONE t-shirts, profits of which will go to workers in the African country of Lesotho.

The philanthropic U2 frontman, real name Paul David Hewson, was the picture of pride as he wrapped his arms around Ali who was hosting the launch party in exclusive department store Harvey Nichols. And the pair were in no shortage of homegrown and international celebrities to help highlight their cause.

Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams were among the A-listers who had modelled the t-shirts for a series of black and white photos, while Sex And The City's Kim Cattrall joined former 007 heart-throb Pierce Brosnan and actress Patsy Kensit for Wednesday's star-studded soiree.

The black and white t-shirts are made by Edun – the socially conscious clothing brand created by Ali, her rocker husband and New York designer Rogan Gregory – as part of the Make Poverty History campaign. They cost £28, £7 of which will go to the Apparel Lesotho Alliance To Fight Aids to provide education and medicines for factory workers and their families.

Daily Mail

Bono temporarily left behind the complications of his current court case in Dublin to win back his trademark Stetson hat from a former assistant - to support his wife Ali Hewson who was launching a new brand of ethical clothing Edun One at Harvey Nichols last night.

The U2 singer was on good form as he puckered up for a kiss with pal Damien Hirst. Hewson said that despite the media circus surrounding her and Bono, she didn't feel famous. "I'm not in the limelight," she said.

"It's more like a bright shadow. People now want to both look good and feel good about what they are wearing. All the celebrities want to use their position to promote the product, and the ethical clothing brand."

Bono made a speech, joking: "This country leads the world in terms of [giving money to] Africa, and it's hard for an Irishman to accept that!"

Other guests included Kim Cattrall, Thandie Newton and former 007 Pierce Brosnan, circled by a handful of beautiful women.

Star Bulletin: U2 embraces all comers in an inspired, intimate Aloha Stadium spectacle

December 10, 2006

[Excerpt]

Slovenia, Ireland, England, Arkansas ..."

They came from all over, avid fans of a certain band that was wrapping up its world tour Saturday at Aloha Stadium. A guy was telling his friends of the people he'd met from such faraway locales, as a long line of ticketholders finally made it inside to experience the near-evangelical power that is U2 in concert.

Somewhere in all that humanity, according to stadium spokesman Patrick Leonard, were special guests Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and celebrities Pierce Brosnan, Kid Rock and cast members of the ABC show "Lost."

Hi ACE!

Would you mind posting the larger versions of the 2 with his sons if you have them? I have been trying to figure out what is in Dylan's hands. Given that he seems very interested in it, and the fact that I know what MY oldest is always obsessed with during moments like that, I am guessing it's either Nintendo DS or Gameboy or something along those lines. LOL! Anyway, I was just curious and it is very hard to determine from the smaller versions of the photos.

I hope you don't mind me jumping back in after all this time. I just realized that this is my first post since rejoining the list.

Thanks ACE! It looks like Paris might have the stylus from a Nintendo DS in his hand, where as Dylan is using his finger, so I'm guess they are playing Nintendo DS. It is a little longer than a Gameboy, has two screens and can be played with a stylus or by touching the screen. I only know this however because my eldest just got one from his aunts for Christmas. LOL! Oh well, I was just being nosy. Thanks so much for your help.

It's good to be back! I have missed talking with everyone here. You probably noticed that I lied about my birth date however, so don't bother sending me a happy birthday notice when the time comes. LOL!

I have seen a lot of photos of Pierce where he isn't wearing his wedding ring farouhkina, but his devotion to Keely never seems to waver, so I really wouldn't read anything into it. Maybe he is just so used to removing it when he is filming a movie that he forgets to put it back on. Who knows. I still think that jewelry fetish of his must be an Irish thing though. LOL! I do so love the necklaces he wears. His son Sean is usually wearing a necklace in every photo I see of him too and I have seen them on Chris as well, so Pierce seems to have passed his love of necklaces on to them.

Re: PB: Out & About (II)
Post by yuliya on Jan 14, 2007, 11:58pm

He's inhis 50-ies and spends a lot of time in warm climates; maybe his hands tend to swell a little, making it uncomfortable to wear the ring sometimes. Or maybe he doesn't want to wear makeup over the ring tan line and tries not to make it too obvious. Or maybe he and Keely don't think it overly important; lots of people nowadays don't consider a wedding ring something that should never leave one's finger.

No sign of Pierce at the Golden Globes tonight. I had my constant eye on his designated table too. HOwever, out of the corner of by eye/ear, I saw a commercial/advertisement of tomorrow's Today Show: there was a split second of him emerging from a limo doing that famous hand signal with the thumb and pinky. They were promising to give behind-the-scene coverage - but I bet that snipet was from last year. But I really don't think he attended the Golden Globes tonight. During the broadcast I was putting a second coat on some crown molding so I could have missed something, but I doubt it. My Pierce periscope was up.

I have a comment on that picture a few messages back in this thread, the recent one of him eating what looks like ONE french fry (with a little catsup) with his eyes closed: he looks exactly like Danny O'Niel in Live Wire, trying to de-stress in the Jacuzzi bathtub, just before giving in to his estranged wife and that sizzling love scene. (She didn't deserve him - he was better off with the french fry.)

But the scene that followed would just not have been as effective with a french fry. 8-)

As for similarities, I think in terms of the profile and the eyelashes resting but the mood (intent more than exhausted) and the position of his head (forward and not back) is quite different.

Irish eyes were smiling this week as three of Ireland's biggest screen talents met up in New York. Dublin-born Gabriel Byrne turned out to support Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan at a special screening of their Wild West film Seraphim Falls.

Northern Ireland native Liam had extra support in the form of wife Natasha Richardson, ultra-elegant in a sophisticated black dress, while Gabriel, who has just been signed on to play a therapist in new HBO series In Treatment, was accompanied by an attractive guest.

Is anyone of you interested to get the show with Pierce? I would upload it tomorrow so you can watch & download the file if you want.

Yvo, that would be great! I will tape the show, but can't make a video file.

(PS: It's good to hear from you. Hope you're well.

T3:[2007-02-08]
LG’s super-slinky Shine launched

The successor to LG’s Chocolate phone is here! It’s silver, it’s shiny and it’s simply the sexiest blower around.

LG launched the Shine last night at a star-studded party attended by the cream of the celebrity circuit, and T3.

David Blaine was there, as was Pierce Brosnan and Mohammed al Fayed. Celebrity Big Brother loser Donny Tourette turned up too, having caught a whiff of the free phones on offer in LG’s top-notch goody bags.

But the star of the show was LG’s new handset. We’ve had a close-up peep at the Shine already, and we’re head over heels for it. Check out our full review here, and see why it’s a worthy successor to the Chocolate’s crown as the most stylish phone in existence.

From the infamous Page six of the New York Post:

March 7, 2007 -- PIERCE Brosnan proved he isn't James Bond when a United Airlines flight from Kauai to L.A. had to land in Honolulu shortly after takeoff due to a medical emergency. A passenger told Page Six that when the flight attendant paged the cabin asking if there was a doctor on the plane, Emily Frances of the Ch. 11 morning news turned to Brosnan - who lives in Hawaii - and said, "Come on, you're Bond. Shouldn't you be able to do something about this?" The spy reports, "Brosnan kind of laughed and said, 'Unfortunately that's only in my make-believe life.' "

Shanghai Daily: Brosnan checks out styles

3-9-07

Irish actor Pierce Brosnan and Chinese actress Huang Yi (right) attend a spring/summer fashion show in Shanghai last night. Brosnan is perhaps best known for his suave portrayal of James Bond, though he also won a Golden Globe nomination for his role as a quirky hit man in 2005's "The Matador." Brosnan was in town on a one-day trip, which also took him to an art gallery on Moganshan Road and shops in Xintiandi.

It can be called a pocket square but that's I think when it's not a full handkerchief but just a small swatch of material. If you notice on RS they were always handkerchiefs because he often pulled them out and used them. Here it looks to be full handkerchief.

Oh if you want to get s snapshot off a video you can pause it then use capture or copy/paste of photo viewing software. I don't know which ones you have but I recommend Infraview to anyone -- because it's small, free and can do so many things like capture screen shots.

Yes, except for the coloring which is closer to Keely (lighter hair and brown eyes) Paris is the "spitting image" of young Pierce. Dylan looks more like Keely -- not just the coloring but his eyes and nose but seems to have his father's freckles, mouth and jaw. Both are beautiful kids -- not surprising considering the gene pool. 8-)

Pierce was supposedly almost 6 ft by age 11 -- I really hope Dylan isn't in for that kind of growth spurt over the next year (painful).

Of course they could change-- I used to think Sean looked more like Cassie but every year he starts to look more like Pierce.

NEW YORK: Elton's B'Day Simply Divine. Singer toasted at cathedral bash

By ELIZABETH WOLFF
The New York Post
http://tinyurl.com/yw7mdp
March 25, 2007

To err is Elton, to forgive is St. John the Divine.

Blustery rocker Sir Elton John, who recently described organized religion as "hateful" and worthy of being banned, was slated to whoop it up last night at the famed Morningside Heights cathedral in celebration of his 60th birthday.

Church officials apparently turned the other cheek to Sir John's disparaging comments, but some worshipers were still a little miffed.

"It's inappropriate that everyone will be drunk and flamboyant in the cathedral," said one peeved churchgoer yesterday.

Surveying the florists, sound technicians and decorators feverishly preparing the church, the world's largest Gothic cathedral, he complained, "I can't even find a pew to sit in."

The bacchanal for 400 guests included $18,000 worth of exotic flowers, 1,000 bottles of champagne and a large dessert mound of sticky toffee pudding - Sir Elton's favorite.

The stars which came out to sparkle for John's big night included Bette Midler, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, Donatella Versace, Michael Stipe, Jon Bon Jovi, Michael Caine, Richard Gere, Barbara Walters, Pierce Brosnan, Kid Rock, Liv Tyler, Whoopi Goldberg, and Rod Stewart.

Diane Sawyer and Emma Thompson showed up giggling arm and arm, and newlywed Elizabeth Hurley even cut short her honeymoon with hubby Arun Nayar to join the fracas.

The dress code was "elegant black tie" - a far cry from Sir Elton's 50th-birthday shindig, when he showed up for the costume ball in a $100,000 Louis XIV outfit, complete with a towering white wig.

This time, the affair was to be a lot more muted. Tasteful white flowers filled the church. And in keeping with the religious atmosphere, tables were adorned with silver drinking chalices.

The altar was set up as a stage for the performers, which included the trendy rock group Scissor Sisters, Sting and Paul McCartney.

And despite several mentions in both the U.S. and British press, organizers insist it came as a total shock to the singer.

"It's a surprise," said Interview magazine editor Ingrid Sischy, who planned the party with publisher Sara Brandt and John's hubby, David Furnish.

For Elton fans who weren't on the guest list, there's a sold-out charity concert tonight at Madison Square Garden to celebrate his milestone.

The church gathering comes a mere four months after the infamously outspoken John told a British newspaper that religion "promotes spite and hatred against gays."

"I would ban religion completely," he reportedly said, adding, "Organized religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into hateful lemmings, and it's not really compassionate."

They didn't bring the kids with them to NYC though from the look of the NYC photos. So either the kids are picking them up at the airport (not likely) or they're traveling somewhere else (maybe Hawaii) to L.A. :-/

Re: PB: Out & About (II)
Post by londonstreet on Apr 19, 2007, 1:04am

bgwillis you could have a point in there, the kids don't have their own rollercases or backpacks as they usually have while travelling. Then Pierce has only two tickets in his hands. But the day the photos was taken I believe gives Ace right, because Pierce and Keely were back in Malibu from New York at the beginning of this month and the family has been spotted in malibu few days before Easter.
Again, Dylan is taking his nintendo from his mom's bag so they should have travelled together.
Perhaps they were coming back from somewhere else (not New York)....I'm not sure anymore that they were going to Hawaii, because yes the kids should be back to school but in the last years they usually attended for some months school in Hawaii and for some months in Malibu. now it should be the rainy period in Hawaii so maybe the kids are going to school in Malibu.

But what if Keely and the boys were picking Pierce up from the airport? Just where he came from I don't know. The way he waves and fools about with the boys has the feel of them welcoming him. He wouldn't wave and smile like that to the paparazzi.

Re: PB: Out & About (II)
Post by londonstreet on Apr 19, 2007, 8:34am

Good point Sparkling but I must add that maybe Keely's arrived with him because Pierce has two tickets or passes (is that the word for them?) in his hands, then in the pictures where he's without his jacket he hasn't it in his hands either, so maybe someone else is holding it for him.
Gosh...we are so curious about him, aren't we?

Re: PB: Out & About (II)
Post by bgwillis on Apr 19, 2007, 10:46am

I'm a little confused I guess because of the order of the pictures. It looks like an arrival to LAX instead of a departure. But maybe they are leaving for somewhere. I read somewhere (maybe here) that rehearsals for Mamma Mia start soon, but I knew he had testfied at the BHP hearing last week. I can't keep up with him. I'm going to leave that Ace.

Re: PB: Out & About (II)
Post by admin on Apr 19, 2007, 11:57am

No one can keep up with him. I assume from this that Pierce is off to London as well not actually being from Great Britain like Julie Walters and Colin Firth.

NY Post: Liz Smith

THEY'RE OFF - THE GREAT Meryl Streep and her new sidekick, the gifted Christine Baranski, left for London night before last to pre-record their musical numbers for the coming movie of "Mamma Mia!" They'll be singing along with Britain's Julie Walters, Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan - the latter has a thriving post-007 career.

Streep and Baranski will then come back to the United States for a month off.

"Actually," says Christine, "I'll be killing myself with dance classes." Then back to London for 10 weeks of filming and on to another five weeks on some exotic Greek island.

I know all this because I ran into Ms. Baranski the other noon at Swifty's. She was chowing down with John Douponce, who is a hotel guy extraordinaire. He attracts many stars to his luxurious Graciela hotel located in "beautiful downtown Burbank."

Even the undauntable Christine is slightly daunted considering her next adventure on the stage. After finishing "Mamma Mia!" she'll appear as the queen of the Nile in Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra" at the Theatre for a New Audience in Brooklyn. (This introduces the Bard to New York public school students.)

PIERCE BROSNAN, in the city shooting Butterfly On A Wheel, had a Tom Jones moment in the Sutton Place hotel lobby recently. Instead of panties, though, visiting Ottawanian Tena How suddenly produced a bra -- don't ask -- which Brosnan autographed.

How passed the garment to pal <b style="color:black;background-color:#ffff66">Misty</b> <b style="color:black;background-color:#a0ffff">Wojak</b>, who promptly added it to donations for a Soroptimists of the Langleys auction called Bras For a Cause.

Smart move. The Brosnan bra fetched $400, helping the business and professional women's organization reportedly raise $40,000 to enhance the Fraser Valley Cancer Agency's fund for a high-dosage radiation unit.

A bra signed by Robin Williams went for $400, too. But aptly named singer Michael Buble uplifted the bar to $1,400. Bill Clinton, who you'd think might have lingerie lying around his office, sent a signed copy of his book, My Life.

Having much surpassed their 2005 event's total of $26,000, the Soroptimists' cup runneth over, you might say.

Paul McCartney plays secret London gig

The legend plays before a celeb-packed Camden crowd

Paul McCartney launched his new album at a celeb-packed Low-key london show tonight (June 7).

The Beatles legend played at Camden's Electric Ballroom before a crowd made up of competiton winners and invited guests.

Those present included Macca's daughters Stella and Mary, Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, guitar legend Jeff Beck, and actors Pierce Brosnan and Mackenzie Crook.

Speaking to NME.COM afterwards, Brosnan decalred McCartney's set "fantastic". There were five songs from new LP 'Memory Almost Full', including 'Only Mama Knows', 'That Was Me', 'Nod Your Head', 'House Of Wax' and new single 'Dance Tonight'.

Thee rest of the set comprise mainly of Beatles classics like opener 'Drive My Car', 'The Long And Winding Road', 'Blackbird' and 'Hey Jude', which closed the original set and opened the encore, resulting in a mass singalong.

Macca also covered Carl Perkins' rock'n'roll classic 'Matchbox', and paid tribute to his deceased wife Linda and Beatles bandmates John Lennon and George Harrison before 'Here Today', from his 1982 solo album 'Tug Of War'.

The set was:

'Drive My Car'
'Only Mama Knows'
'Dance Tonight'
'C Moon'
'The Long And Winding Road'
'I'll Follow The Sun'
'Calico Skies'
'That Was Me'
'Blackbird'
'Here Today'
'Back In The USSR'
'Nod Your Head'
'House Of Wax'
'I've Got A Feeling'
'Matchbox'
'Get Back'
'Hey Jude'
'Let It Be'
'Lady Madonna'
'I Saw Her Standing There'

Macca gets back to where he once belonged

By John Aizlewood, Evening Standard 08.06.07

Spine-tingling: Sir Paul McCartney celebrated Beatles classics at the Electric Ballroom
Paul McCartney

Rocking out: Macca rolls back the years

"It's been a while since we played a gig this size," said Sir Paul McCartney, surveying the Electric Ballroom - the venue his band Wings used as a rehearsal space in the Seventies. "We ought to do more."

If last night is any yardstick, they should do more of these intimate shows. The "secret" gig (if being announced on national radio and across the internet means "secret") was the hottest free ticket of the year and no wonder.

An audience including McCartney's daughters Mary and Stella, Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, Texas's Sharleen Spiteri, former James Bond Pierce Brosnan, George Harrison's widow Olivia and, with weary inevitability, Kate Moss, could scarcely believe their luck: a live Beatle playing some of the songs that form the very DNA of popular music in a venue holding fewer than 1,000 people.

This being McCartney, nothing was left to chance in his first British date with a band since Glastonbury 2004: the sound was perfect, the band were supertight and his voice was as rich as ever, even when exposed on the solo, acoustic Here Today, plucked from 1982's Tug Of War. The man who will be a pensioner in 10 days was in remarkably cheery fettle over his 90 minutes.

There was no talk of divorce and no mention of Heather Mills. Instead, his thumbs were held aloft, he shouted "calm down, calm down" in his best Scouse and he found his joke about "Camp Den" (an imaginary, "artistic" type whom McCartney pretended Camden was named after) so funny that he repeated it.

Despite mostly ignoring Wings (although C Moon was received like a longlost grandparent), McCartney was in a musically expansive mood. He introduced five songs from his new album, Memory Almost Full (it seems safe to assume the "you can come on to my place if you want" line on Dance Tonight was not meant to be taken literally), but he went further back than The Beatles, covering Carl Perkins's classic Matchbox, as did the Fab Four in their pre-fame, Hamburg days.

The most moving moment came with Here Today. Stark, beautiful and originally a tribute to fellow former Beatle John Lennon, it also now marks the passing of "fallen heroes" Linda McCartney and George Harrison. "That was," he sighed, "a difficult song to sing."

Yet the sombre tone was isolated and the Beatles canon was raided in celebratory fashion. Back In The USSR, Get Back and Lady Madonna were hard-rocking; Let It Be almost hymnal; and best of all, Hey Jude, which ended the set and restarted for the encore, was a spine-tingling burst of community singing as the audience na na na'd like they had never na na na'd before.

An evening as special as it should have been.

What's On Stage: 1st Night Photos: Brosnan Spies on Pike Gaslight
Date: 15th June 2007

There was added intrigue at last night’s Old Vic opening of Patrick Hamilton’s Gaslight with the arrival of the world’s most famous spy, James Bond - or rather former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, with whom Gaslight star Rosamund Pike tussled on screen in the 2002 film Die Another Day.

While Brosnan’s own opinion of the Victorian London-set psychological thriller may remain top secret, most first night critics haven’t hidden their enthusiasm for the production or indeed Pike’s performance (See Today’s Review Round-up), so there was good reason for the company’s smiles at the post-show party.

In Gaslight, Pike plays Bella Manningham, a young wife who believes she’s losing her mind. While her husband Jack is out on the town each evening, she can’t explain the disappearance of familiar objects, the footsteps overhead or the ghostly flickering of living room gaslights. However, questions about Jack’s behaviour and true identity are aroused following the unexpected arrival of Detective Rough.

Pike plays opposite Kenneth Cranham as the police inspector and Andrew Woodall as husband Jack. The cast also features Rowena Cooper and Sally Tatum as housemaids who become embroiled in the evening’s intrigue. The production is directed by Peter Gill and designed by Hayden Griffin, with lighting by Hartley TA Kemp. Its limited season continues until 18 August 2007.

Wooller was on hand for the post-show party at the Baltic along with the company, Old Vic artistic director Kevin Spacey and chief executive Sally Greene, and other first night guests including Samuel West, Daniel Evans, Elliot Cowan, Young Vic artistic director David Lan and 007 himself, Pierce Brosnan.

English novelist and playwright Hamilton (whose other big theatrical hit was Rope) wrote Gaslight for the stage in 1938. It was adapted for the British screen in 1940 and, four years later, was made into a much more famous Hollywood version directed by George Cukor and starring Ingrid Bergman, who won a Best Actress Oscar for her role as the psychologically terrorised young wife.

Looking at these photos, I couldn't help but wonder if business attire is the new dress code for sporting events these days. LOL! With the exception of my son's little leagues, I haven't been to one in over a decade though. People could be wearing tuxedos to those things today for all I know, which at least might explain the outrageous prices they charge.

It's the jacket that I wish he would lose, as gray is even more depressing than black. LOL! The tie seems to be a nice dark blue with either light blue or gray stripes, which along with the shirt helps bring out the blue in his lovely blue eyes. :-[

It's like looking back at old baseball films from the 40s and 50s, when the crowds dressed in suits, dresses and hats. It's not like that anymore, to say the least.

Here though it's tennis and in the best seats at the Queen's Club so dressing well is probably a given.

As for black being depressing, I've never considered it that. Heck as a New Yorker it's just a wardrobe necessity. The overwhelming majority of my wardrobe is probably black or dark navy be they suits, sweaters, pants or t-shirts. 8-)

From what I know, there is a dress code in the UK for sports like Tennis and Soccer and maybe some other sports depending on where you are seated. For example, like soccer, there are areas/box where you must be in a suit and tie even though if you are the owner of the football club! There was once a story on the Roman Ambromovich, the russian billionaire and Chelsea Football club new owner attended his first game of his club in just his suit without a tie, he was forced to borrow one! That's how strict the dress code can be....

Pierce's clothes look fine, but Rosamund seems to be wearing a nightie.

As for wearing black: it just saves you a lot of worrying about matching colours, camouflaging a pound or two too much (for those like me who have to think of things like that

), looking appropriate for the occasion, etc. In short, very handy, though I adore pretty colours and like to wear them.

WIMBLEDON: Nadal has licence to thrill as Berdych is blasted

RAFAEL NADAL swept aside seventh seed Tomas Berdych with an awesome display of power and precision that drew gasps of admiration from James Bond to reach the semi-finals.

The world No.2 was the last player to get past the third round on this wettest of Wimbledons, but he became the first to reach the last four after surging to a 7-6 (7-1), 6-4, 6-2 win over the seventh-seeded Czech.

After taking five sets to beat his two previous opponents, Nadal will be relieved to get the chance to put his feet up ahead of tomorrow's semi-final against Marcus Baghtatis or Novak Djokovic.

Berdych had been expected to be a dangerous opponent, having beaten Nadal in three of their previous five meetings.
advertisement

But, having mastered the young Czech twice on clay, Nadal demonstrated his growing confidence on grass.

"It was very tough out there with the wind, but I played very good tennis," he said.

"In the end, I'm very happy with the victory."

Nadal, who claimed he had played his best match on grass when coming from two sets down to beat Mikhail Youzhny in the previous round, dropped his serve for the only time in a close-fought first set.

But he grew with every rally and Berdych paid for crucial lapses of concentration at the start of the second and third sets in which he dropped his serve.

Centre Court was less than half-full when the players came out, with Pierce Brosnan casting a lonely figure in the Royal Box, and the late risers missed plenty of action, with six break points in the first three games.

Nadal had to save two break points in his opening game, which spanned nine minutes, and both men then dropped their serve as they struggled to cope with the swirling wind.

Berdych had another chance to break in the seventh, but they grew more confident on their serve and it was no surprise when it went to a tie-break.

Nadal, last year's runner-up, never faced any serious challenges after that. He broke the Czech in the opening games of the second and third sets and had his first match point on Berdych's serve at 5-1 in the third, but was beaten with an ace.

Nadal wasted another in the next game, but won when Berdych's forehand hit the net.

From Sports Illustrated:

WIMBLEDON, England -- Five things we learned during a memorable day of tennis on Friday:

2. Even Justine Henin can succumb to nerves. For a player competing in her first Grand Slam semifinal, Bartoli -- inspired by Pierce Brosnan; hey, who isn't? -- played remarkably. She overcame a shaky first set and simply declined to miss a ball for the next 90 minutes or so. If ever there were a time to get into the "Zone," that blissful interval athletes dream about entering, this was it.

============================================================

FOX Sports: Secret agent inspires Bartoli

From Steve Griffiths in London
July 07, 2007

MARION Bartoli is within touching distance of a fairytale triumph at Wimbledon after she stunned world No.1 Justine Henin, but her toughest challenge is still to come.

The No.18 seed, from France, produced one of the biggest surprises in the history of the All England Club as she came back from a set down overnight to beat Henin 1-6 7-5 6-1 and set up a final showdown with triple champion Venus Williams on Saturday.

Bartoli's cool under duress was remarkable, but she put it all down to the presence of a former James Bond.

Pierce Brosnan, who played the secret agent, was watching the match and Bartoli was inspired by the presence of the actor.

"I was so stressed in the first set because it was my first time on Centre Court, but then I saw Pierce Brosnan watching and he is one of my favourite actors," she said.

"So I just started to play some good tennis for him.

"I hope he comes back on Saturday to bring me some more luck."

Henin looked odds-on to breeze into the final when she took the first set in just 22 minutes, but Bartoli gave the performance of a lifetime as she overwhelmed the Belgian with increasingly powerful and precise groundstrokes.

Bartoli had already beaten Serbian Jelena Jankovic, the No.3 seed, in the fourth round, but she easily surpassed that triumph by knocking out the French Open champion to reach her first grand slam final.

The 22 year old had never been past the fourth round of a Major before but, after initially looking nervous, she rose to the occasion on Centre Court in sensational style.

Beating Henin would have seemed difficult for Bartoli, but facing Williams could be an even more daunting proposition.

Williams gave a breathtaking display as she brushed aside Ana Ivanovic, the No.6 seed from Serbia, to make it to a grand slam final for the first time since winning Wimbledon in 2005.

The American is playing at the kind of level that made her the most feared player on the WTA Tour in the early part of the decade.

She destroyed Maria Sharapova in the fourth round, tormented Svetlana Kuznetsova in the last eight and could easily overwhelm Bartoli is the Frenchwoman cannot repeat her sterling effort against Henin.

Bartoli will at least go into the match with her confidence sky high after battling back to oust Henin.

She was initially out-classed as Henin cleverly moved her around the court in the first set.

She started to find some rhythm on her groundstrokes in the second set and got the decisive break in the 12th game to take the match to a decider.

Suddenly Henin was being to show signs of losing her composure.

Bartoli was playing every point as if it were her last and, throwing caution to the wind, she hit Henin off court.

She took the first five games of the set as Henin staggered towards an embarrassing exit.

When Bartoli got the chance to serve for the match, she could have let the situation get the better of her, but she closed it out in impressive fashion.

Williams had a far easier task as she turned on the style against Ivanovic to secure her sixth Wimbledon final appearance.

Although she was seeded No.23 because of her part-time presence on the WTA Tour, Williams made a mockery of the difference in rankings with a clinical 6-2 6-4 victory.

"I felt like I played really well in the first set," said the 27-year-old who will be chasing her sixth career grand slam title.

"I didn't give her many chances but she stayed right in there and was a tough competitor. This will be my sixth final here and I'm really excited."

With Roger Federer (who needs no lucky charm except at the French Open)

Or maybe not.

Daily Mail

The Man with the Golden Racket needed the help of a special agent on Centre Court against Juan Carlos Ferrero yesterday.

To say that Roger Federer was floundering, having lost the second set, would be a tad dismissive of the Swiss Meister's capacity for extricating himself from tricky situations. But there was no denying the timing or the source of the transformation which carried him into a fifth successive Wimbledon semi-final.

Scroll down to read more:

On serve, early in the third set, Federer was being matched by the dogged Ferrero, whose cat-like scampering around the court was allied to groundstrokes that were the basis of his French Open triumph four years ago. For the first time this fortnight, inspiration was lacking in the world No 1.

Enter, stage right, Pierce Brosnan returning to his seat in the Royal Box. In a trice, Federer reverted to James Bond mode, used his licence to thrill and swatted away the baddie on the other side of the net with ridiculous ease.

He had been clearly shaken but not stirred. Less than an hour later a 7-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3 victory was his and he was on his way out of the All England Club by the time his prospective semi-final opponents, Andy Roddick and Richard Gasquet, were walking on to No 1 Court to begin their match.

It was nothing less than we should expect from a superhero.

With his suave delivery and selfassurance, the four-time Wimbledon champion was every bit as smooth as he defended his employers, er, hosts, the All England Club, against the criticism from other players, including arch rival Rafael Nadal, that play should have gone ahead last Sunday because of the rain.

Federer said: "I don't think it's really the right way to go after the tournament. Wimbledon has raised prize money. They're building a new roof over Centre Court. They built the Millennium Building in 2000. We're not upset when they do those things. When it rains once and we have a scheduling problem, I don't think we should start going after the club right away. I disagree with what the players said."

Never someone afraid to stand apart, James Bond could not have put it better.

So is there an anti-hero out there who can prevent the Swiss star equalling Bjorn Borg's record of five successive Wimbledon triumphs in front of the Swede tomorrow afternoon?

There is certainly no one who can match the relaxed preparation that Federer enjoyed while all around were waiting for the rain clouds to clear since last Friday.

Typically untroubled by the elements which affected lesser mortals, a light cold notwithstanding, Roger's week had been a serene stroll through some of life's gentler activities.

"I was waiting like all the other guys but instead of being in the locker room, I was at home which was a bit more cosy. I went to the city once or twice. Went to the hairdresser. Watched movies. Played cards. Hung out. My mum went home to Switzerland after the Safin match and came back on Wednesday. She didn't miss a thing."

Even James Bond's mum isn't that cool.

Having been stranded at 5-5, 40-40 overnight, Federer eased his way to a tiebreak and kept the ball in play while Ferrero struggled to find his range. Normal service resumed, we thought.

Not so. The Spaniard played his role to perfection, foiling our hero at every turn while the 15,000 spectators slapped on their shades and sun hats. Suddenly, the strawberries and suncream pre-Wimbledon motif to this year's Championships did not seem quite so absurd.

Out of nowhere Ferrero levelled the match, serving more forcefully than he does on clay and surprising Federer with the tactic.

Something had to be done. Enter 007 in the Royal Box and his alter ego with the Nike headband on the court. Suddenly, Ferrero was swamped with shots fizzing at him from every which way.

The Swiss Meister unleashed the secret gadget which Q had furnished him for just such a difficult occasion — an imperious backhand that struck winner after winner past his tottering opponent.

For comic relief, Federer fluffed a serve so ridiculously at set point that the ball floated on the wind and plopped down close to the baseline. Only Ferrero, the fall guy, wasn't laughing.

A final, wickedly sliced backhand on to the sideline and a whipped forehand pass and the baddie was beaten.

Pierce Brosnan rose in admiration. It takes a superhero to recognise one.

Popsugar: It's a Party, A Summer Serpentine Party
Thu, 07/12/2007 - 12:45pm by Molly

Yesterday evening's Serpentine Gallery Summer Party 2007 in London brought out some beautiful faces and gorgeous summer dresses. Thandie looked especially pretty, but then again, she always does. I always adore seeing Josh/Pacey and his ever-fabulous girlfriend, Diane Kruger. Plus, who doesn't love seeing Pierce Brosnan? No one! No one doesn't love Pierce! I wonder if Kim Cattrall leaked any more info on that Sex and the City movie, because that's something she could talk my ear off about with no complaints. Don't you just love seeing such Summer-y parties? Makes me want to throw on a white dress and get outdoors.

The pants are fairly muted, actually, and the leather jacket and shoes pull the whole look together. IMO, no need to call in the fashion police.

I have to admit that seeing the word "serpentine" (above) always causes me to free-associate about the movie, "The In-Laws." Can anyone easily forget Peter Falk, (in my favorite of his movie roles) as a squirrely CIA spook with an extremely charmed life, telling frightened orthodontist Alan Arkin how to avoid heavy gunfire by making random zig-zag movements? "Serpentine, Sheldon! Serpentine!"

Right.

Of course, that film is the happy inspiration for the RS episode "Signed, Steeled, and Delivered" with another nerdy Sheldon character drawn unwillingly from his boring, but quiet life, into the mayhem side of the spy business. And the "Danang, the rainy season" double-speak would also fit right in, LOL!

Oh, I'm not complaining or calling the Fashion Police. I like it very much -- but for him lately it is adventurous. 8-)

LOL on The-In-Laws -- one of the all time great comedies (shame about the remake) but I never connected Sheldon and "Danang, the rainy season" with it though it fits perfectly.

Yeah? You never made the connection? Sheldon Kornpett / Sheldon Quarry? The CIA?

OK, maybe it would've helped if they'd had some conversation over Laura's dinner table about giant tsetse flies or the Guacamole Act of 1917. Or had Sheldon yell when they blow up the car, "My car has flames!"

Style.com: Splendor in the Grass - The Lowdown on London's Big Summer Fête

[image]

The annual Serpentine Gallery party to open its summer pavilion (always a temporary structure by a guest architect) had everything this year—sponsorship by Swarovski, extra-glittery guests, chandeliers, dancing in the park—except one tiny detail. Somehow, the pavilion itself had gone AWOL. In the run-up to London's biggest summer bash, it became clear that Olafur Eliasson's structure wasn't going to be ready in time for its inauguration. With social disaster looming, Zaha Hadid stepped in at the eleventh hour and built four glowing mushroom parasols to shelter the dance floor. "They're steel structures covered in fabric. Did it in four weeks," she said. To say that Nadja Swarovski was visibly relieved is an understatement. "Zaha rocks! She saved the day. What an example of creative problem solving," she said.

And happily, Rod Stewart, Pierce Brosnan, Tracey Emin, and Geri Halliwell, among other guests drawn from the farthest-flung poles of London/L.A./Euro society, seemed to be having too good a time to notice the absence of Eliasson's pavilion. Practically all of the city's young designer community showed up— Christopher and Tammy Kane, Jonathan Saunders, Richard Nicoll, and Hussein Chalayan included. Giles Deacon chatted with Thandie Newton about his flash visit to L.A. with his pre-collection; Sophia Kokosalaki and Liz Goldwyn arrived, both in Kokosalaki's bright draped dresses and the latter accessorized in Van Cleef & Arpels; and Stefano Pilati, in town to film a 24-hour shoot for his new Edition 24 collection, which will be live-streamed on www.showstudio.com this weekend, came with Camilla Nickerson, who was in a short YSL tux dress. Also tuxed was Phoebe Philo, just four weeks after giving birth to her son, Marlowe, who, she said, was named after the dark Renaissance playwright. And Cameron Silver of Decades dropped by with Clare Waight Keller of Pringle—he was sporting a bespoke suit and she was in a vintage Dior coat snapped up that day at Alfies Antique Market.

This being London (and a garden party with the threat of rain a constant), there was no discernible dress code, except, of course, for the Swarovski-tribute glitter—lots of it supplied by the crystal accessories that Kane, Saunders, and co. have designed for the house. Ironically, it was all lent out before the party-giver could grab a piece for herself. She had to resort to diamonds by London rock-meister Stephen Webster.

Summer Soirée at the Serpentine
Cocktails & canapes at London's "going-away party"

Thursday, July 12, 2007

[image]

(LONDON) The clouds parted Wednesday night just in time for the annual Serpentine Gallery summer gala, otherwise referred to as the “going-away party” for many Londoners en route to summer holidays. This year, however, plenty of Los Angelenos working in London gave the event—a fête for the summer pavilion—a surprisingly large West Coast presence, where Ronnie and Vidal Sassoon mingled with a Pringle and Boucheron-clad Cameron Silver and Liz Goldwyn, in custom Sophia Kokosalaki. Brian Atwood was amused by the early ‘80s dance music and playfully suggested to Pringle’s Clare Waight Keller to “shake your booty!” as she twisted and turned to the tunes of Altered Images. “They have the best deejays I’ve ever heard spin,” exclaimed Silver. “This is the soundtrack of my wonder years!”

Co-chairs for the event were Zaha Hadid and Dennis Hopper; the former was tasked with creating a structure to fill the gap until the Serpentine’s summer pavilion is unveiled August 22. The result? A special installation in the form of three giant, mushroom-like parasols springing from a black base. “Zaha saved the day—literally,” laughed Nadja Swarovski, resplendent in a Jonathan Saunders cocktail dress. Swarovski’s namesake company sponsored this year’s pavilion and party, and as a result, a who’s who of British fashion turned out in support. Phoebe Philo, Giles Deacon, Philip Treacy, Christopher Kane, Stephen Webster, and Stefano Pilati, whose YSL brand sponsored the event the year before, mingled with Jefferson Hack and Anouck Lepère, Richard Buckley, Ron Arad, Alice Temperley (who had 34 guests in her designs at last year's party), newly engaged Tim Jeffries and Malin Johansson, and Katie Grand, who arrived for cocktails and canapés clad in boiled mohair despite the mild climate and threat of rain. “I think Miuccia would’ve appreciated it,” she laughed.

While most were thankful for the lack of rain, others were still reeling from the celebrity gawking. “The best part was definitely meeting Pierce Brosnan,” gushed Lillian von Stauffenberg, clad in vintage Galanos, as she mingled with Allison Green in vintage Galitzine from Decades at Dover Street Market. Allegra Hicks found her metallic paisley dress at an Oxfam shop and looked like a million dollars.

===========================================

FYI from the captions - Pierce was wearing Armani.

From People Magazine:

• Tossing aside his James Bond image, Pierce Brosnan indulged in a family fun day in Paris that took the ex-007 to, of all places, a merry-go-round. His wife and two youngest children – Dylan, 10, and Paris, 6 – also hopped on the chair swing, bumper cars and a Ferris wheel at the Tuileries Garden. Brosnan treated his family to ice cream at the fair, and the family hit other Parisian hotspots during their four-day holiday, including the Rodin and Picasso museums.

9-01-07: Pierce Brosnan Tours Paris Museums

When actor Pierce Brosnan said "I do" to Keely Shaye Smith back in August 2001, an ice sculpture rendering of Rodin's "The Kiss" provided a romantic element to their wedding reception at Ireland's Ashford Castle Hotel. Six years later, People magazine online reports that the former 007 and his wife came face to face with the real marble masterpiece as they ambled one late August day through a Parisian museum dedicated to the famed French sculptor. Housed in Biron Hotel, the museum is also home to Rodin's most famous piece, "The Thinker," and showcases works by Rodin's love and artistic contemporary, Camille Claudel.

The red carpet couple and their children also had the opportunity to peruse the Picasso Museum during their stay in Paris. Over 3,000 paintings and 2,000 drawings, displayed in the Hotel Sali, chronicles the artist's ever-changing styles, ranging from his Blue Period to the Cubist movement.

I have come to just plain ignore these stupid articles. I haven't even clicked on this new mysoginist inanity (no offence to the poster, of course).

Keely has class and style and is probably way above caring about this.

Re: PB: Out & About (II)
Post by yuliya on Sept 19, 2007, 9:25am

I don't know whether it's purely mysoginism; women are known to murmur, "Isn't it amasing he's with her when he could have anyone?" too, though I don't mean this particular case.

Personally I find perverse satisfaction in Keely's appearance - if she, who had such a great body in her 20-ies, doesn't work, therefore has more time than I do, can afford any weight loss program including a dietician, a personal trainer, and a cook who'll spend time in the kitchen instead of her, can't do it... Though I must say I hope she doesn't do it on my account. I'd rather go with "if she can, so can I."

Re: PB: Out & About (II)
Post by admin on Sept 19, 2007, 11:06am

The idea that because she has more money and doesn't have a job that pays her that she has more time I think is erroneous. Keely does a lot work for numerous environmental and animal welfare causes. It doesn't pay but she does work. She also physically tends to and grows her own gardens and has by reports always eaten very healthily. She's also always been very physically active. It's been said before she has a thyroid problem that affected her metabolism, that the medicine made her lethargic and ill and it was stopped because her happiness and overall energy was more important than her weight. She also maintained a very (and at times too) slim figure when young because she practically starved herself as all young models do which probably helped to screw up her metabolism.

Still it's ludicrous that I think I even have to post any of this to defend her because even if none of it was true it's still not anyone's goddamn business what she weighs and why. The constant negative and insultingly critical harping on it by the press and some of the public says more about their shortcomings than it does about Keely. And the bizarre idea that Pierce amazingly still loves her shows that their concepts and beliefs about love and marriage are residing at the very shallow and moronic end of the pool.

Re: PB: Out & About (II)
Post by yuliya on Sept 19, 2007, 1:28pm

Oh, I totally agree with Ace; Keely's appearance and her attitude towards it, as well as her husband's are no one's business. My personal thoughts about her are my own problem, too, and reflect my own attitude more than anything else. I'm sorry to hear Keely has thyroid problems; I knew she'd been trying to lose weight, so I just assumed she failed like the rest of us, mortals.

Back to the photographs - great shot, indeed. Great POV, too - looks like the fan does look up to, er... the object of our mutual adoration?

Pierce with Kelly Meyer

In L.A. last night to celebrate the opening night of project7ten's newly designed environmentally friendly house.

A joint project between builder Tom Schey and environmentalist Kelly Meyer, the recently completed LEED Platinum-certified project7ten is one of the most environmentally friendly homes in California. It will open its doors for three weekends in October to educate and raise awareness about simple everyday choices and green products that can create a healthier environment.

These open houses cost $20, and sales from the tickets will benefit Healthy Child Healthy World, the nation’s leading non-profit in the area of children’s environmental health. Each weekend, a random drawing will award winners thousands of dollars in eco-friendly prizes, including Shaklee Get Clean Starter Kits ($150 value), a Naturpedic Organic Baby Mattress ($300 value), Magic Bullett sets ($60 value), or Going Green Consultations ($500 value).

The fashion world loves vodka, though our friend Tanya D. is a few years too young to sip her nation’s signature drink. Now it seems Pierce Brosnan is a fan of Russian Imperia vodka as well. As his alter ego, Mr. Bond, is a true vodka enthusiast, it’s no surprise Brosnan was craving Imperia and caviar at the BAFTA/LA Cunard Britannia Awards in L.A.

Post by admin on Nov 26, 2007, 7:14pm

As a legal matter it hasn't been mentioned again.

Though it is mentioned in a recent NY Times article and the head of TMZ blames the photographer

NY Times: Everyone Wants to Be Taking Pictures - New York Times

LOS ANGELES
11-18-07

ON a slim-pickings afternoon at the Ivy on Robertson Boulevard last week, a small cluster of paparazzi gathered in front of the restaurant to photograph Phoebe Price. As the little-known actress posed on the sidewalk as if it were the red carpet, the group behind the cameras made for a more interesting picture — it included several photographers from photo agencies, a moonlighting Spanish-speaking cook and a tourist from Northern California who stood front and center snapping away with a one-use camera from Walgreens.

Not long after Ms. Price had left, another shift of agency photographers and amateurs were trolling the street, including a couple of teenage boys and Claudia Leverett, 32, a college student. She had recently turned occasional paparazzo by a chance encounter last July with Dustin Hoffman leaving the Ivy as Kimberly Stewart entered. Ms. Leverett joined the fray and sent the pictures to two paparazzi agencies on a lark.

“I made $780 for 13 pictures in not even 10 minutes of work,” said Ms. Leverett, who has since devoted her weekends and free afternoons to waiting near the Ivy and other celebrity hangouts with an old-fashioned 35-millimeter film camera.

Los Angeles has always been a celebrity photographer’s evergreen. But the explosive demand for celebrity pictures has led to an equally explosive growth in the number of celebrity chasers. The term paparazzi increasingly encompasses not only the photo agency photographer and the TMZ videographer, but also a teenager with a camera, an opportunist with a cellphone and even the waiter who once tipped photographers to celebrity sightings. This mix has intensified an already aggressive atmosphere and altered the ecosystem for both paparazzi predator and celebrity prey.

In the two years since prosecutors in Los Angeles threatened to file felony conspiracy charges against photographers engaging in dangerous tactics, and started monitoring them more closely, complaints of egregious illegal conduct, like assault, trespassing and reckless driving, by paparazzi have decreased, said William Hodgman, the head deputy of Los Angeles County district attorney’s target crime division. But now, Mr. Hodgman said, celebrities are followed by more celebrity news media and what some photographers call “people paparazzi,” which has reignited the pursuit. “The celebrities don’t feel any safer,” he said.

Even Barbara Walters, an unusual target by her own account, got a taste of the Hollywood-style media attention during a visit last month, when photographers would not stop snapping pictures as she left the Ivy; TMZ later used videos of the encounter to lampoon her on its new television show. On her show, “The View,” Ms. Walters called TMZ “mean” and “vicious.”

Some publicists say their clients find video cameras the most disconcerting. Comings and going are captured and posted not only on TMZ, X17 Online and other Web sites but also on the free-for-all anarchy of YouTube.

“One thing is a still photo of somebody looking out of sorts coming out of a bar,” said Annett Wolf of Wolf-Kasteler & Associates, a publicist who represents clients like Michelle Pfeiffer and Debra Messing. “Seeing a moving picture is much more jarring. And they keep running it over and over.”

As photographers new and old jostle, crucial rules of conduct seem to have gone out the window.

Mr. Hodgman said the competition has led to several assault prosecutions involving photographers attacking one another. Harvey Levin, managing editor of TMZ, which posts pictures and videos from its staff and from freelancers, said working conditions have reached “a dangerous level” because of the inexperience of many photographers.

Mr. Levin cited an incident in which the usually paparazzi-friendly actor Pierce Brosnan physically tangled with a photographer in Malibu, Calif., a few weeks ago while out with his son and two of the boy’s friends. Mr. Levin said the photographer departed from standard practice by talking directly to the children.

“There are some unwritten rules,” he said. “You don’t engage the children. You just don’t do this.”

Blair Berk, a criminal defense lawyer who represents many A-listers, said she noticed that children are now often the target, which she says makes any interaction more volatile.

“When you cross the line of threatening family members, that is intolerable,” she said.

Many celebrities court the attention. Britney Spears even has photographers give her directions and pump her gas. (Last week she drove over the foot of a photographer who was trailing her.) Gary Morgan, chief executive of Splash News, a paparazzi agency, has little sympathy for harassment complaints from the famous. “When a celebrity is going from the C-list to the A-list, they set up the pictures,” he said. “But as soon as they achieve A-list status, they become artists who don’t want publicity.”

And the truly private avoid certain restaurants and clubs.

Fraser Ross, whose four Kitson stores are near the Ivy restaurant, said even on Robertson Boulevard, stars can avoid the press by coming to the area in the morning when the camera hordes are thin because many photographers have worked the clubs until late.

In the morning, he promised, “You can walk down Robertson in a bikini eating French fries, and you wouldn’t be photographed.”

Still, the paparazzi crowd is the reason celebrities like Brad Pitt, Renée Zellweger, Scarlett Johansson and Josh Hartnett have cited for moving, and Ms. Berk and some publicists say the exodus continues. Some actors have chosen the Santa Barbara area, others have gone as far Utah and Montana. For most, though, the only other choice, for work-related reasons, is New York, where traffic and crowds make the chase more daunting for photographers. Yet it may not offer much of a respite.

“NEW YORK unfortunately is becoming more difficult,” said Natalie Portman, who lives in Manhattan, at the premiere of “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium.” “I know people hate hearing us complain about it, but New York isn’t what it used to be for anonymity, unfortunately.”

In any case, Los Angeles remains the location of choice for the hunt. Mr. Morgan of Splash News said of the 1,500 photos sent daily by his agency, 70 to 80 percent are shot in the area. “The weather is bright and sunny, and the pictures look better in magazines,” he said. “You don’t want to see a picture of Madonna under an umbrella in London. They want to see her jogging.”

The corps of opportunistic paparazzi is likely to expand as long as the demand is there. For the last two years, Splash News has enticed these photographers to a site — peoplepaparazzi.com — that offers 60 percent of the profit. The check could be as high as $150,000 for a picture of Ms. Spears’s first wedding (although most photographs bought through the site run $50 to $250, Mr. Morgan said).

Not even big money is enough for Ms. Leverett, the collegian-photographer. She said the business is too cutthroat for her to make it a full-time job. For instance, she refuses to follow celebrities from their homes.

What she really wants, she said, is “to produce drama series like ‘E.R.’ ”

I've seen it and it makes me roll my eyes. It's more like a bunch of other people chiming in on the original proven bogus post with a few people who've also claimed to have met. As they're mostly very rude angry people it's hard to take their complaints, impressions or veracity seriously. There are far far more truly offensive and often libelous posts on that board from trolls and loonies (usually the same 3 people with different accounts) which as Sparkling says is sadly true of most popular actors. Some of these trolls hit multiple boards and have been for some time and yet IMDB still can't figure out a way to ban them. It's all very annoying because it's the same kind of crap that fills up most actor message boards on the IMDB and any other discussion gets killed by trolls.

If I ever want to discuss a film of Pierce's on the IMDB I do it on that film's board. Like all IMDB boards they have trolls but not to the extent they exist on the actors' boards. If you want to see one shocking troll infestation go to Meryl Streep's board. She's Meryl Steep for chissakes, where can all that hate and anger - directed not only at her professionally but personally possibly come from? Disturbing.

DAILY MAIL: Licensed to thrill Mum with a holiday

01/08/2008 06:18:51 PM EST

WHEN your son is a Hollywood star you can expect a few perks and if the apple of your eye is Pierce Brosnan, youre entitled to a slice of double-oh heaven.

Which must be why May Carmichael found herself on the Pacific island paradise of Kauai at the weekend, strolling with son Pierce.

Looking relaxed in a floral skirt and a navy T-shirt, the pensioner mingled with other holidaymakers soaking up a little mid-winter sun.

Meanwhile, Pierce, who turns 55 in May, looked nothing like his tuxedo-wearing alter ego. Then again, his next big role is opposite Meryl Streep in the movie adaptation of Mamma Mia!

Widowed May lost her husband Bill Carmichael last year. She met him in London after moving to Britain from her Co. Meath home to train as a nurse when Pierces father deserted her.

And it was the Scottish war veteran who introduced the future Bond actor to the cinema by taking him to see Goldfinger in 1964.

Brosnan, who lived in Navan until the age of 11, when he joined his mother and new stepfather in London, considered Carmichael his father.

The Remington Steele star spoke movingly recently of why he believes his role in Mamma Mia! was meant to be.

When I got a call about this movie I was organising my stepfathers funeral, he explained.

I didnt know who I would be playing, and this guy came out and said my name would be Sam Carmichael.

I thought that was kind of poignant and sweet.

=========================================================

I knew he was ill and in the hospital early last year but this is the first I've read of his stepfather Bill's passing.

W! Online

Pierce Brosnan, dining midday at Craft, CAA’s de facto cafeteria, with a bunch of Biz-type sharks. Brosnan looked as debonair as his superagent alter ego, despite his informal wear of blue jeans and a T-shirt. Maybe he should have donned his trademark Bond tux? Would have been more suitable, considering all the suits surrounding him. Piercey was def the most popular boy in this cafeteria, as the CAA managers were fawning over the Irish actor like crushing cheerleaders. That accent is quite captivating, isn’t it?

-- Pierce Brosnan was in Bodega Bay with a photo team shooting a spread for the June issue of Vogue magazine last week, on the waterfront, in a bake shop and a restaurant. Later on Thursday, he and 17 guests in the party had dinner at One Market, where a group of excited Spanish tourists who had been eyeing him from an adjacent table followed him outside for a smoke.

Pierce Brosnan, AKA Mister Bond, has been on the town; he was in town after a British Vogue shoot up in Bodega Bay. He had what appeared to be a biz coffee meeting at Poggio, "quite a sight in a gorgeous suit and black and grey hair, blue eyes." (Can you hear the tablehopper tipster swooning?) He also dined with a large group (17 guests) at One Market Restaurant, where he got a group of Spanish tourists all atwitter (some ladies in the group even stalked him outside when he stepped out to smoke a cigarette).

============================

http://www.marinij.com/ci_8798638

Pierce Brosnan dropped by Poggio last week with what looked like "five movie types," said Laiko Bahrs, who happened to be having coffee there. "He was wearing a gorgeous black suit - right out of 'The Thomas Crown Affair.'"

"We swiveled our heads. All the women went 'woof.' It was funny. He was very friendly."

Hello Pierce peeps! Catching up on the News of the World I hear that PB’s pear-shaped tones in Mamma Mia would make Simon Cowell cringe. I love the SMA to bits but, as I’ve said before in this space, I don’t believe he has a musical bone in his lovely body. But since most ABBA songs sound disturbingly like advertising jingles to me, he can’t do them any real harm. <wink>

Alas, I see that our man in Bodega Bay isn’t confining his cigarette smoking to films (where no one does it better). If he must adopt Richard Langley’s languid habits, perhaps the fedora would be safer. It’s a bit of a shame that Pierce’s Bond derived from an era without hats. While doing a spot of flirting with Moneypenny, Bond tossing his hat on the hat stand was like the punctuation in a sentence.

Happy Birthday, Yuliya! I hope you had a swell party, with cake and ice cream and presents, and that giant cardboard cut-out of the SMA! Oh ho! <wink>

Hi all,

for German television shows there is a website called http://www.onlinetvrecorder.com/sidebar.php?. There you can record TV shows online and for free and download them after they were broadcasted. I was looking for an equivalent for international TV stations to record ELLEN. However I didn't find anything. Therefore I'd be very happy if one of you could recommend something or if one of you could provide Pierce at ELLEN for download after the broadcast ...

Thanks so much!
Cheers

Oh, come on!
In many ways Pierce is just a human being ... like all of us.
Ok, he's got a job that makes him a person of public interest ... and that's why they can (and always will) take pics, shoot videos and publish that stuff of him. Bad luck on the one hand, but part of his job on the other hand. Anyway ... I truly think this looks so human!

(By the way: He's probably done that a couple of times without getting wet, but of course the only time he fell ... that's what TMZ put on the web

)

Perhaps he compares it with the care he got when he was a kid. Me - I'm so glad no one will ever fill me 6 teeth at once without anestesia that a visit to a dental office doesn't ruin my mood in the slightest.

Or perhaps he's just glad it's over.

Excerpt

Posted by Courtney Hollands June 27, 2008

Nelson Mandela is turning 90 next month. So, earlier this week, singers, athletes, and stars gathered at London's Hyde Park for a fund raising dinner to honor the former South African president. Robert DeNiro was there. So was Will Smith, Oprah Winfrey, and Pierce "Eternally Hot" Brosnan (so hot).

Photographer`s case against Pierce Brosnan dismissed

The photographer who says he suffered a Pierce Brosnan beatdown at a mall in Malibu last October, has had his case dismissed.

Rob Rosen tells TMZ, "The terms are confidential, but both parties are happy with the outcome."

Not so fast says Pierce's attorney!

Brosnan's rep told the press that the case was voluntarily dismissed -- NOT settled -- and the terms are NOT confidential. Rosen did not receive and will not receive any money, and let the case go after Brosnan agreed not to sue him. Nobody messes with James Bond!

That's exactly why I was thinking for a while before posting the vid. Ok, he is a "person of public interest" and therefore (unfortunately) has to live with the paps following him. His wife and kids though are "normal people" and should not be bothered by the paps - even if they are with Pierce.

Pierce in Malibu yesterday. Hopefully he's not growing a beard for his next film. Scruff=sexy. Beard=not so much.

I like him a beard, but I really dislike the scruff.

I have to agree with Debra. If he has to have facial hair, I prefer the beard to the scruffy look. I don't mind a five-o'clock shadow, but I really didn't like his look in After the Sunset. Personally, I think Pierce looks his best freshly shaved.

Niiice. Evidence that scruff is indeed sexy. 8-)

His Seraphim Falls beard was a magnificent beard and truly fit his character but it's a look is best left on the film set.

I guess it would be too much for the razzi to help with his bags so he can use his keys to open his car - but then again he probably doesn't want them that near to his food or his car. 8-)

Exceedingly doubtful.

If he's going for the trunk it might be to check if he has a working spare tire. Otherwise it's best to wait for the Auto club since hardly anyone can fix cars now except mechanics.

Hi all,

according to what I saw Kim Catrell arrived in Berlin today (see video: http://www.tikonline.de/video/detail.php?nr=48869&rubric=Videosection) and will travel to the island of "Usedom" on the weekend. Shooting on Usedom will allegedly start on monday (so Pierce should be in Germany soon) and will have to be finished by March 31st. After that they'll be shooting in Berlin and Babelsberg until the mid of April.

Although I am guilty of appreciating photos of the SMA I do have to feel

being constantly followed by the pap while doing normal every day
errands.

I guess many here have ambigous feelings about the pap-pics. However, I think it's part of a celeb's life to deal with being followed by them. So, I'm mainly sorry for Dylan, Paris and Keely. THEY are no "persons of public interest" and thus the paps should leave them alone (at least).

By the way: Anybody any idea what Pierce will do with the pics he's taking of the paps (while they take pictures of him)? Maybe he's going to publish them someday ... that would be fun

My personal opinion is that to be a celebrity is a job, and all the jobs have a company time different from private life time, it isn't fair and square that paparazzi don't respect that time.

I'm guilty of looking these pictures too, but I wouldn't miss them.

I must quote Mr. Steele: "Positively demoralizing, but an inescapable part of human condition".

i was more interested in the fact that it appears he is using a 35mm as apposed to a digital. Which, in todays day and age, not to mention he can easily afford a simple point n shoot if nothing else, seems odd.

Billy Joel Returns Favor to McCartney at New Shea Stadium

Saturday, July 18, 2009
Music / By Roger Friedman

One year ago, Paul McCartney popped into the old Shea Stadium to say goodbye by joining Billy Joel on a couple of hits.

Last night Joel returned the favor and played keyboards on the Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There” as McCartney christened Citi Field with the first of three shows.

It wasn’t an easy night. Humidity was 100% and rain pelted down hard sometimes. Even McCartney and the band got wet. But it was well worth it. Among the crowd: Pierce Brosnan, Stanley Tucci, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, restaurateur Drew Nieporent, country superstar Martina McBride with her husband and kids.

McCartney, now 67, simply rocked the house with the best show of 2009. He mixed Beatles songs with his own hits, and debuted some video from the upcoming Beatles “Rock Star” game due on September 9th.

As always, he makes it look easy, when it can’t possibly be. He runs from piano to bass guitar, singing impeccably and managing to tell some engaging stories about playing Shea with the Beatles in the 60s. He’s got tributes to John Lennon and George Harrison, including a medley he’s made of “A Day in the Life” with “Give Peace a Chance.” (He should finish the former, however; it’s a masterpiece.)

There’s plenty from his Wings era, but maybe not enough—just “My Love,” “Band on the Run,” “Jet,” “Mrs. Vandebilt,” and “Let Me Roll It.” McCartney doesn’t realize his fans want to hear “Too Many People,” “Another Day,” and even “Hi Hi Hi” or “Junior’s Farm.” What was impressive: “Sing the Changes” from his recent “Electric Fireman” album, sounded like it should be a radio hit. And I’d include “My Ever Present Past,” and “My Brave Face” over some other choices.

Still, McCartney remains a wonder. He’s at the top of his game again. He even dressed in a black suit and white shirt reminscent of the Beatles’ old early costumes. Nice touch.

My favorite singer (Billy Joel) and Pierce on the same concert! I just thought I ended up in the wrong forum...

Pierce announced that he's going to the concert on twitter:

Twitter confounds me as well. Then again so many seem to tweet about so little I comfort myself by believing I'm not missing much.

Ah but there he's using the camera in his phone - and he can never resist a camera (from either side of the lens). 8-)

That he's gone on to use it's internet capabilities seems a shift of seismic proportions.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy the site. I'm actually behind on a lot of formal updating but luckily I have this board to toss stuff up on until I can organize it.

Thanks for posting, but I feel terrible watching this. Everyone clearly looks unhappy.

What a poor way to make money! Why can they not even respect it, when he's with his family? Pierce probably has chosen stardom, but his wife and kids haven't.

What's the sense in stalking celebrities and their families on every ordinary occasion, like going for lunch, to the cinema or shopping? I like photos taken on official occasions, like movie premieres, much better. These pics are usually taken by real photographers and people actually smile on it!

I completely agree and I always feel uncomfortable when posting stuff like this ... especially when the boys are with him. Pierce is a celebrity and has to live with it (but Keely and the boys DON'T). That's why I just posted the link instead of the video or pics.

Re: PB: Out & About (II)
Post by secondwind on Aug 11, 2009, 12:38pm

Yes, I knew what was coming and still I watched the pics :-[

On one hand I love too see how fast their sons grow up and how much they look like both Pierce and Keely. On the other hand watching those pics just makes me feel bad. So maybe the next time I see the word 'Papas' or 'Paparazzi' I better don't open the link.

I just had a look at that hotel. The pool - gorgeous!!!
This week there is a discount on the rates (50% off), but still one night costs as much as I usually pay for a week. On the other hand ... the rooms, the pool, the view ... so stunning that it'd be worth the price. The reduced price.

It's only worth the full price when Pierce is there.

Pierce Brosnan & Paris Dine In Malibu

Actor Pierce Brosnan and his 8-year-old son Paris Beckett were spotted heading into the Taverna Tony restaurant in Malibu, Calif. on Saturday (October 3). It looks like papa Pierce just picked up his son from a soccer game. Mom Keely Shaye Smith and big brother Dylan Thomas, 12, did not accompany the father-son duo.

Brosnan costars with Susan Sarandon in the upcoming movie The Greatest. The drama depicts a family's struggle to heal over the loss of their son. The tear-jerker was first screened at the Sundance Film Festival this past January.

The Greatest is set to open the 17th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival on Thursday (October 8).

Who says there's no culture in L.A? Kate Beckinsale, Pierce Brosnan, Michel Gondry, and Ed Ruscha, among others, came together to host a cocktail party at Tod's last night in honor of Jeffrey Deitch, the new director for the Museum of Contemporary Art. Guests such as Halle Berry, Gwen Stefani, Kate Bosworth, Jessica Alba, and Camilla Belle hit the brown carpet at the Italian label's recently revamped Beverly Hills boutique to welcome the former New York art dealer. "Getting an infusion of New York energy in L.A. is always really exciting, and Jeffrey is the groovy right guy we need at MOCA," said co-host Kelly Lynch, in vintage Zandra Rhodes.

Tod's founder Diego Della Valle and creative director Derek Lam showed off the brand's new digs, which now feature eggplant-colored walls covered in family portraits. "This residential feel is a great extension for us," said Lam, a native Californian who prefers to spend his time in L.A. on the road—literally. "I love driving around with the radio on, taking in the car culture." Academy Award-winning costume designer Milena Canonero and production designer Dante Ferretti transformed the boutique's third-floor VIP showroom to a 1940's-style supper club, complete with an original 1946 Rock-Ola jukebox. "I always used to complain that there wasn't much art in L.A., but once I discovered MOCA, I thought, oh, OK,'" said Beckinsale. "So I'm happy to support." The event benefited MOCA's exhibitions and education program.

Hey, isn't that...?: Pierce Brosnan

Pierce Brosnan touring the Edvard Munch exhibit solo at the National Gallery's East Building on Wednesday afternoon. Also the exhibit of 16th-century portraits by Arcimboldo. Seemed intent on the art, appreciative. Black peacoat, popped collar. The guards all buzzed as he breezed up the marble stairs (they probably remember his art heists in "The Thomas Crown Affair").

Slimmed down and looking fabulous! What's the book that Seymour wrote is about?

From the cover and release date looks like

Among Angels

From those pictures, he looks more than fit (minus the gray hair) to do another Bond, but since he's moving on to unique project, a regular action movie would be more appropriate. A Quentin Tarantino movie should do the trick.

Pierce in NYC looking 'rakish' and still with beard! Reminds me of an interview earlier this year where the interviewer said something about that a beard means an Oscar... 8-)

The first word that came to mind when I saw these pictures of Pierce Brosnan was “dashing.” Doesn’t he look dashing?

Pierce was filming a Lipton Iced Tea commercial. He may still be a working film actor, but he’s still taking the quickie jobs as he can, I guess. I certainly don’t blame him! Looking at him makes me want to go get a cup of tea. Lipton, of course
