Fans know and love Carole Radziwill from The Real Housewives of New York City. But some may be surprised to learn that the Bravo star has ties to America’s most famous first family — the Kennedys.
Carole was married to Anthony Radziwill — John F. Kennedy Jr.’s maternal cousin and best friend — from 1994 until Anthony’s death in 1999. Anthony, the son of socialite and actress Lee Radziwill (the younger sister of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis) and Polish Prince Stanisław Albrecht Radziwill, died at 40 from cancer.

The fall festival rush is upon us. Locarno is currently ramping up. Venice has released their line-up and Thom Powers and the Toronto International Film Festival team have dropped a bomb with a previously unannounced new feature from powerhouse docu-provocateur Michael Moore. It is truly a miracle that the production of a film such as Moore’s upcoming Where To Invade Next (see still above) managed to go completely undetected by the filmmaking community until it was literally announced to world premiere at one of the largest film festivals in the world. Programmed as a one of the key films in the Special Presentations section at Tiff, the film sees Moore telling “the Pentagon to ‘stand down’ — he will do the invading for America from now on.” Also announced to premiere at Tiff was Avi Lewis’ This Changes Everything, which has slowly been rising up this list, as well as...

Director John Frankenheimer.
I'm often asked which, out of the over 600 interviews I've logged with Hollywood's finest, is my favorite. It's not a tough answer: John Frankenheimer.
We instantly clicked the day we met at his home in Benedict Canyon, and spent most of the afternoon talking in his den. A friendship of sorts developed over the years, with visits to his office for screenings of the old Kinescopes he directed for shows like "Playhouse 90" during his salad days in live television during the 1950s.
We hadn't spoken for nearly a year in mid-2002 when the phone rang. It was John, who spoke in what can only be described as a "stentorian bark," like a general. "Alex!" he exclaimed. "John Frankenheimer." He could sense something was amiss with me. It was. My screenwriting career had stalled. My marriage was progressing to divorce. I had hit bottom. John knew that...

Jonathan Groff engages in dildo photography, Brietbart.com comes out for marriage equality, Will burrows deeper into the closet on Nashville
Nathan Lane is set to costar opposite Brendan Gleeson in the HBO pilot Money. The show is about a wealthy mogul who uses his wealth and power to ruthlessly expand his empire. Lane will be playing a newspaper reporter barely hanging onto his job and in need of a scoop.
The Pentagon has responded to states like Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Oklahoma refusing to issue ID cards for same-sex spouses on Guard bases by basically folding and saying that our soldiers will just have to drive to the nearest military base to get their benefits. I really can’t speak to the legal issues involved, but this is not how we’re supposed to treat those who serve.
Entertainment Weekly has a bunch of loose spoilers for the new season of Nashville,...

Review by Sam Moffitt
After seeing the wonderful new movie Hitchcock in a theater and now seeing it again on Blu-Ray I thought it might be nice to revisit one of the Master of Suspense’s own films, preferably one I had not seen in some time. Family Plot was Sir Alfred’s last film and a pretty good finale to an amazing career that started in the silent era, an apprentice ship at Ufa Studio’s in Germany, watching no less a master film maker than Fritz Lang and ended in the 70’s when all the rules of film making were being broken by a bunch of young mavericks who changed the language of film altogether.
When I was a kid I loved everything about Hitchcock. I read his mystery magazine avidly, often in high school study hall instead of reading from a text book. My Mother would let...

Locked and Loaded: The name of this Western, selling like hotcakes at Cannes, is Jane Got a Gun, but don’t expect the usual-usual. Natalie Portman (above, in Thor) is attached to star and produce and Lynne Ramsey (We Need to Talk About Kevin) is attached to direct, which indicates something out of the ordinary is in the works. The plot involves a woman who must reach out to an ex-lover when her outlaw husband returns home nearly dead, too weak to defend their farm from his vengeful gang. [The Hollywood Reporter] Get a Job: Pursued as a film project almost since it was first published in 1980, John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces appears to be in motion again, with James Bobin (The Muppets) in negotiations to direct and Zach Galifianakis attached to star.

Chicago — Kelsey Grammer makes it clear from the start: He's not playing Mayor Richard M. Daley in the new dramatic series "Boss" that debuts Friday night.
Sure, his mayor of Chicago talks about being in charge for 22 years – the exact time Daley spent in office. For both men the job is also the family business, with Grammer's Tom Kane following his father-in-law and Daley his father. And if Grammer's character really wanted a disguise that nobody would have recognized, he would have put on a Cubs hat and not one bearing the logo of Daley's beloved White Sox.
"We were writing a show that is a derivative of Shakespeare (and) he's got 400 years on the Daleys," Grammer said this summer during filming in Chicago for the Starz drama (10 p.m. Edt).
Grammer told Daley as much, when the two met and he "tried to reassure him that we had absolutely...

Clash of the Titans (**1/2 out of 4)
Let’s keep things in perspective. Louis Leterrier isn’t attempting to revitalize Shakespeare, perform a shot-for-shot remake of “Citizen Kane,” or commit John Kennedy Toole’s allegedly unadaptable “A Confederacy of Dunces” to film. He’s updating Desmond Davis’ 1981 fantasy “Clash of the Titans,” which itself was a gooey, golden block of creamy Velveeta. And he does a pretty good job.
That sounds like a halfhearted recommendation, and “Clash” is a halfhearted adventure, picking up pace for a handful of action sequences but content to jog in place when swords aren’t being swung at imaginatively mystical creatures.
Leterrier’s “Clash” is as cheesy as Davis’ original, but this is a bitter wedge of Gouda that’s far angrier than its fanciful predecessor. The largest shift saddles half-human/half-God Perseus (originally Harry Hamlin, now Sam Worthington) with a vengeful...
