BACK
Before starring as everyones favorite chemistry teacher, Walter White, on Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston played Hal, the odd dad on the Fox sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. A method actor, Cranston preferred to do his own stunts on the showincluding getting strapped to a moving bus and wearing a suit made of 10,000 bees (he only got stung once). But one stunt that Cranston couldnt do: get all of his back hair shaved off at the dinner table for the pilot episode. Why not? Not enough real back hair, and the fake hairy back wig they glued to him couldnt be shaved off realistically.
So one of Hollywoods strangest ever casting calls went out for a man who had the same build as Bryan Cranston, had a hairy back, and was willing to get it shaved off in front of a bunch of strangers. Thankfully, a suitable stand-in was found for the close-up shots, and Cranstons semi-hairy back remained unshaved.
CELEBRITY FEUDS:
Martha Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow
were friends until Paltrow started Goop,
a lifestyle brand. Heres a timeline:
OCTOBER 2013: Appearing on Bloomberg Television, Stewart is asked what she thinks of Paltrow possibly becoming the next Martha Stewart. Her reply: I havent eaten at Gwyneths house and I dont know how she lives, but if shes authentic, all the better. I certainly hope she is. She really wants to be part of the lifestyle business. Shes a charming, pretty person who has a feeling for lifestyle. Fine, good. I think I started this whole category of lifestyle. Tabloids interpret this as a dis and report it thusly.
SEPTEMBER 2014 In the ensuing year, Stewart watches Paltrow and her Goop get more and more popular. In an interview with Net-A-Porter magazine, Stewart says that Paltrow just needs to be quiet. Shes a movie star. If she were confident in her acting, she wouldnt be trying to be Martha Stewart. (Paltrow is an Oscar winner.) Then Stewart really digs the knife in in that months issue of Martha Stewart Living, which features a recipe for Conscious Coupling pie, a not-so-subtle jab at conscious uncoupling, which is how Paltrow infamously described her divorce from Chris Martin. The recipes introduction begins: Every Thanksgiving table should be blessed with the presence of a long-married pair who bring out the best in each other.
EARLY OCTOBER 2014: Paltrow posts a recipe on her website called Jailbird Cake, mocking Stewarts five-month prison term in 2004 for lying to the feds about a stock purchase.
LATE OCTOBER 2014: Paltrow attends Fortune magazines Most Powerful Women Summit (Stewart didnt), where shes asked about the feud. No one has ever said anything bad about me before, Paltrow deadpans, so I am shocked and devastated. Ill try to recover. Then she says that feud is actually motivating her: If Im really honest, Im so psyched that Martha sees us as competition. To prove theres no ill will, Paltrow hires Lisa Gersh as Goops new CEO. Gershs previous job: Martha Stewart Living CEO, a position she held for less than a year.
SEPTEMBER 2017: On the talk show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, a caller asks Stewart, Are the rumors true that you are happy that Goop is having deceptive health issue claims? Stewart replies, Whos Goop?
In September 2017, police officers in Crawfordsville, Indiana, responded to a 911 call about an armed man in a ski mask prowling outside a bar. When the cops arrived, they yelled, Drop the gun! The masked man turned toward them, but he didnt drop the gun, so one of the officers fired his weapon, nearly hitting the suspect. Drop the gun now! yelled the cop again, as did all the other officers.
The man dropped the gun, pulled off his ski mask and yelled, Were filming a movie!
A brief pause. Excuse me?
The man, an actor named Jim Duff, clarified, This is a movie set! Then he hollered toward the doorway, You better get out here!
He was yelling at filmmaker Philip Demoret, who was using the bar to film a bank robbery scene. For some reason, hed neglected to inform the police or any of the nearby business owners. And because all the cameras and crew were inside the bar (to film him entering), the only thing that witnesses saw was an armed man in a ski mask prowling outside the bar. Demoret thanked the cops for not killing his actor and promised he would contact them in advance before any future film shootingser, shoots.
