Here are some new photos of Jack Nicholson (and Meryl Streep and Mike Nichols) at last night’s big AFI tribute for director Mike Nichols. I love Nichols – he’s done such classics as Carnal Knowledge, Working Girl (a favorite), Postcards From the Edge (sigh, I love that one too), The Graduate, and not-so-classic but still good/great films like Closer, Wit and Charlie Wilson’s War. Nichols is good friends with people like Emma Thompson, Jack, Meryl Streep and many, many others. So the turnout for his tribute was incredible. Look at Jack!
A few weeks ago, a publisher sent me a copy of Hollywood Hellraisers: the Wild Lives and Fast Times of Marlon Brando, Dennis Hopper, Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholsonby Robert Sellers. It was an extremely easy read, and if it’s your kind of thing, I would recommend it. The book had lots of details about all of those guys’ sex lives and there was a lot of interesting gossip from the 1970s that I was totally unfamiliar with. Like, both Warren and Jack pounced on Ali McGraw when she and Steve McQueen split up, even though Ali’s other ex Robert Evans warned both Jack and Warren that Ali was too vulnerable for their shenanigans. Another interesting story? Allegedly, Jack was all over Nicole Kidman right after her divorce from Tom Cruise. Like, Jack really, really wanted Nicole. I don’t know if that’s true, but it sounds truthy, doesn’t it?
Anyway, look at some of my favorite bitches. Emma is so f-cking gorgeous, even if the dress is a repeat Westwood from last year. And MERYL!!! Love, love, love. Julia Roberts’ dress sucks though.
Poor Cher looks like a freak.
I used to love Cher…less so now.
But what about her face? It’s like she’s erased all the character out of it.
It’s just smooth and bland and tells you nothing about her. Except that she’s fixated on looking ridiculously young.
I almost didn’t recognize Natalie with her hair actually down and such. But she looks fantastic
Natalie,just took my breathe away, so freakin pretty
Cher could wear a paper bag over her head, and I’d still love her. Have always liked Emma T. a lot, but that dress is one of the most hideous I’ve ever seen. Hate Julia F Roberts with the white hot hatred of a thousand suns. White haired lady, forget her name, always looks so lovely – magnificent breasts. Natalie Portman no opinion except that she is gorgeous. As is Meryl, always.
WHL=Helen Mirren
Hmmm…I’ve got to say that I don’t like Natalie’s blond highlights.
I think her natural, deeper haircolor is much more vivid and contrasts better with her skin tones.
Oh man! What a gorgeous array of stars! All of them are TRUE class acts. Meryl streep is the most beautiful woman in the world!
Now those are some movie stars. Jack will ALWAYS be the hottest coolest dude in the room. ALWAYS
I can see the resemblance clearly between Mike Nichols Meryl Streep. They turn out to be distant cousins.
that strapless number is in a word or 2… a huge no.
Wow – I think that’s the best I’ve ever seen Natalie Portman look. I usually don’t care for her, but her face looks a little fuller, and she looks gorgeous!
word for word, I agree with Maggiegrace
Mike Nichols is beloved by those who have worked with him- where are the pictures of his wife Diane Sawyer? She must have been there.
I recently watched Natalie Portman’s “Inside the Actor’s Studio” and she was talking about Mike Nichols, saying that he was the love of her life (which she quickly followed by saying “I’m pretty sure I’m not the love of his”).
Also, Mike Nichols is one of the rare people with an EGOT- Tracy Jordan is pissed!
… Cher!
Now this is Hollywood!
Helen Mirren, Emma Thompson: I love you both dearly.
Also; VA-VA-VOOM!
WOW. Natalie is stunning.
This might be the first time I’ve seen a photo of Portman and thought “va va voom!”
And, that Ms. Mirren is just a stunner.
I love the picture of Oprah and Steven Spielberg. This is the best photo I’ve ever seen of her.
I agree with meme… those are ACTUAL stars. I love this. F Heidi and Spencer.
Meryl, thankyou for showing me that you can be a kind and smart and cool woman over 50. Makes me feel so much more positive about aging…
