Oh, the things I miss not having a TV. On Good Morning America this morning to promote the unwatchably bad-looking chick heist flick Mad Money, Diane Keaton snuck “the f word” into a tossed-off, backhanded comment directed at GMA host Diane Sawyer. You can watch the relevant segment here, but here’s the money quote:

Keaton: (gesturing) Those lips! I love ‘em. I’d like to have lips like that.

Sawyer: (laughs uncomfortably at the complement–what’s she gonna do, offer the number of her Botox dealer?)

Keaton: Then I wouldn’t have worked on my fucking personality!

(Whole studio erupts into nervous, shocked laughter)
Keaton: Or my — excuse me — my personality! If I had lips like yours, I’d be better off! My life would be better. I’d be married!

As if we needed another reason to love Diane Keaton, not only does she casually curse like a sailor on morning TV, she does so whilst basically accusing Diane Sawyer–who, it should be noted, is a year older than Keaton–of coasting on her looks like a bimbo. Keaton grumbles about having had to “work on her personality,” but it seems like it worked for her––didn’t she famously date every eligible bachelor in Hollywood between, like, 1975 and 1983? And that line about how if she had Sawyer’s lips, she would be married––is she jealous that the other Diane nabbed Mike Nichols? Was he considered a catch in the 80s?

Sigh. It doesn’t really matter. No one does unaccountably crazy like you, Diane Keaton, and for that, I salute you.

Craig McLean’s 3668 word profile of Natalie Portman in the Guardian is chock full of anecdotes about what a Great Person the actress is: she was nominated for an Oscar! She went to Harvard, and also reads books! She’s a vegetarian, and she’d stop eating eggs in a minute if it wasn’t so hard! But then there are the immediate fanboy takeaways…

First and foremost, Portman talks at length about her decision to disrobe for Hotel Chevalier, her feelings about the finished film, and the aftermath of being naked in a video distributed on the internet. “It’s not that I regret the actual thing. But it really depresses me that…it can be used afterwards for different purposes. My picture ended up on porn sites.” Which is pretty much what I said two months ago.

Portman also says she was hurt by negative reviews of her performance in the Star Wars prequels, which “made my confidence in myself go down, [with] people thinking I sucked after that!” Interestingly, she goes on to say that playing a stripper for Mike Nichols made it all better. More here.
