John Travolta Joins Lala Kent's Ex Randall Emmett for $1,000 Steak

John Travolta Joins Lala Kent's Ex Randall Emmett for $1,000 Steak

Yahoo02-04-2025
Remember when was known for playing pickleball and hanging out with the Vanderpump Rules cast? Of course, at the time, he was still together with his ex-fiancée, Lala Kent. And he seemed to enjoy being on camera. So, finding out that Randall was hanging out with made me … confused. Allow me to explain.
As you may recall, Lala dumped Randall when he allegedly cheated on her. He was also having financial difficulties. The couple shares one daughter, Ocean Kent. Recently, after an exhausting three-year custody battle, Randall and Lala came to a custody agreement.
So how does Randall know John? It turns out that Randall directed John in the film Cash Out, but under a pseudonym. Reportedly, Randall directed the film under the flashy name 'Ives.'
Here is where it gets interesting. John went to Papi Steak Miami Beach, which is co-owned by David 'Papi' Einhorn and Dave Grutman, to try a new menu item – the Beefcase. Randall was there, as was rapper Quavo. According to PEOPLE, Randall directed both Quavo and John in the film High Rollers.
As you may recall, John starred in the 1994 iconic film Pulp Fiction. In the movie, John played Vincent Vega, who joined Samuel L. Jackson's character, Jules Winnfield, on a quest to find a special briefcase.
In one of the most memorable scenes in the movie, Vincent opened a rhinestone-covered briefcase. While the audience couldn't see the contents, Vincent seemed happy enough. So, John popped in to try the new dish, which is an homage to the movie. A huge piece of beef is presented in a gold-plated briefcase. Yum?
Plus, John and Dave Einhorn reenacted the legendary scene, with John nodding his head after opening the case and checking out the meat. If you want to live your own Pulp Fiction fantasy, it will cost you. The steak costs a cool $1,000. For that amount of money, I expect John to reenact the scene and recreate the iconic dance scene. And throw in a royale with cheese!
Vanderpump Rules is streaming on Peacock.
TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE 'BEEFCASE?' ARE YOU SURPRISED RANDALL IS WORKING WITH JOHN?

Quentin Tarantino reveals 'crazy' reason he scrapped his final film 'The Movie Critic'

Quentin Tarantino may have backed out of his swan song, but it wasn't because of stage fright. The Oscar-winning filmmaker, who was slated to conclude his esteemed directing career with "The Movie Critic," opened up about the film's cancellation in an Aug. 15 interview on "The Church of Tarantino" podcast. "It's a little crazy to listen to podcasts and hear all these amateur psychiatrists psychoanalyze as if they (expletive) know what they're talking about," Tarantino, 62, said. "About what's going on with me, about how I'm so scared of my 10th film. ... 'Oh my God. I'm so fragile about my legacy.'" Tarantino, who previously said he planned to retire after his 10th film, told Deadline in 2023 that the film was set in California in 1977 and based on a real-life film critic who wrote "movie reviews for a porno rag." Brad Pitt, who won an Oscar for his role in Tarantino's 2019 film "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood," was reportedly in talks to star in the film. Tarantino said the film started as a limited, eight-episode series. While the "Pulp Fiction" director was satisfied with the show's script, he later decided to adapt it into a film format: "No one's waiting for this thing, per se. I mean, I can do it whenever I want. I mean, it's already written. So OK, let me just not start it right now." "Let me try writing it as a movie and let me see if it's better that way. ... And I was like, 'Oh, OK. No, I think this is going to be the movie.' And then it wasn't," Tarantino continued. "I pulled the plug on it. And the reason I pulled the plug is a little crazy." Throughout his nearly four-decade career, Tarantino has become an icon of cinema thanks to his colorful neo-noir style, which often includes graphic violence and frequent references to popular culture. Some of his best-known films are "Reservoir Dogs," "Pulp Fiction" the "Kill Bill" franchise, and "Inglourious Basterds." 'The Movie Critic': What Quentin Tarantino has said about Brad Pitt-led film Why Quentin Tarantino didn't move forward with 'The Movie Critic' When it comes to movie magic, Tarantino isn't one to repeat himself. The director told "Church of Tarantino" host Reverend Scott K. that he gave himself a "challenge" with the subject of "The Movie Critic," which fueled much of his creative interest in the film. "Can I take the most boring profession in the world and make it an interesting movie?" Tarantino said. "Who wants to see a movie called 'The Movie Critic'? ... If I can actually make a movie or a TV show about somebody who watches movies interesting, that is an accomplishment." Quentin Tarantino's movies, ranked: From 'Reservoir Dogs' to 'Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood' And while Tarantino felt he met that goal, he said the film's production process bore too many similarities to "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood," which is also set in a retro period of Los Angeles. "I wasn't really that excited about dramatizing what I wrote when I was in pre-production," Tarantino said. "There was nothing to figure out 'cause I already kind of knew, more or less, how to turn LA into an older time. So, it was too much like the last one." As for what the future holds, Tarantino shared that his upcoming projects include an untitled play and "The Adventures of Cliff Booth," a sequel to "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood" written and co-produced by Tarantino, directed by David Fincher, and starring Pitt as the title character. "I won't be on the set every day and everything, but I'll be around if they need me to do something," said Tarantino, adding with a laugh: "It's a little more like I've given David a gigantic novel written in screenplay form, and it's his job."
