Antonio Banderas To Play Picasso
Antonio Banderas To Play Picasso
Antonio Banderas will play surrealist painter Pablo Picasso in “33 Days,” a biopic that charts the artist’s emotional struggle while working on his masterpiece mural “Guernica.” The film will also examine the relationship between Picasso and his French lover Dora Marr, who was with him at the time he made “Guernica” – his reaction to the destruction of the titular town during the Spanish civil war. Picasso – who died in 1973 – is a character who has long been close to Antonio – they come from the same city, Malaga, on Spain’s southern coast. Antonio says, “I was born four blocks from where he was born. It has always fascinated me.” The film is slated to be shot in Paris and Guernica next summer.

Bethenny Frankel Opens Up About Miscarriage
Bethenny Frankel was speaking on the “Today” show yesterday about the third season of her Bravo show, “Bethenny Ever After,” when she let it slip that she’d recently had a miscarriage. “We were pregnant with a second baby, and at eight weeks, I miscarried,” Frankel revealed. “That was a very emotional experience. It had a lot of different things that came with it.” For example, doubts about her age, whether or not she’s a failure as a partner to her husband Jason, and if the same would have happened if he’d wed someone younger, Frankel said. “Until you become a woman, you don’t know the things that come with being a woman,” Frankel said. “I’m 41, and, I don’t know, it’s not really my choice. It’s not really my option, and the window’s closing, and it’s something I’m dealing with.”

Kelly Osbourne In Therapy
Kelly Osbourne In Therapy
Kelly Osbourne has regular therapy sessions. Osbourne admits she has always had self-confidence issues so she sees a therapist to help her deal with her issues rather than relying on medication. Kelly, who has battled drinking and drug addiction in the past, said, “I was filled with self-hate as a teenager after being bombarded with headlines like ‘Ozzy’s beached whale daughter.’ It was like torture to me and I really took it to heart. Being a teenager is hard enough without having to deal with that, so I turned to drugs to numb my pain.”

‘Glee’ Charity Tour
‘Glee’ Charity Tour
The cast of “Glee” will not tour this year, as first reported by the Hollywood Reporter. “We currently have no plans of touring the cast this summer,” a spokesman for Glee studio Twentieth Century Fox Television told The Reporter. Following a 2011 tour that grossed a reported $40.85 million, the powers-that-be are now aiming to stage a charity concert in L.A. later this year. Proceeds from the gig would benefit the “Glee” Give A Note campaign, which supports music education programs in schools. Last December, the “Glee” Give A Note campaign awarded $1 million to 73 schools nationwide to help save struggling music programs. $1 from the sale of every “Glee: The Complete Second Season” went to the Give A Note campaign.

Ruby Slippers To Be Restored
Ruby Slippers To Be Restored
The ruby slippers Judy Garland wore as Dorothy in 1939’s “The Wizard of Oz” will be removed from their display at Washington’s Smithsonian to be restored. The shoes, which were donated anonymously in 1979 to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, need touch-ups in advance of the forthcoming “American Stories” exhibition, the museum said. The slippers will join more than 100 objects from the museum’s collection, including Benjamin Franklin’s walking stick, a sunstone capital from the Mormon temple at Nauvoo, Illinois, Abraham Lincoln’s gold pocket watch and a Kermit the Frog puppet. The “American Stories” exhibit opens April 5th. The museum said the fragile ruby slippers, like many movie costumes and props, were made cheaply and quickly – and were meant to last only for the duration of the film shoot. The shoes had been displayed under a red-tinted light to enhance the color.
