Michael Cera went through a lot of hairstyle ‘iterations' while shooting ‘The Phoenician Scheme'
Michael Cera went through a lot of hairstyle 'iterations' before deciding on his look in the upcoming movie 'The Phoenician Scheme'. The actor, 36, surprised fans with his blonde perm-style thatch for Wes Anderson's new film, and has now revealed the lengths he went to in creating his latest character for the movie, a Norwegian entomologist called Bjorn told People: 'We had to work really hard to get the hair. 'We had a lot of iterations of hair that weren't quite right before we landed on this wavy thing, that set through some process of heat.' Michael also delved into developing Lund's personality for the movie, which sees his character hired to tutor nine sons. According to the star, Wes' script offered a clear outline of how the character should behave, but it still required exploration to refine the specific mannerisms, including the voice, hair and physicality. He added: 'It was very clear in the writing how he was going to sound and look and feel. 'We just had to find him.' 'The Phoenician Scheme', which opens in theatres on Friday (30.05,25), features Cera's character being hired by Zsa-zsa Korda, played by 57-year-old Benicio Del Toro, to educate his children. Wes' typically offbeat film has been described officially as 'the story of a family and a family business', and includes an ensemble cast, with Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amalric, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend and Hope Davis all taking roles. When asked what subject he himself might be qualified to teach, Michael told People: 'I'm really not qualified to teach anything. I have no academic credentials whatsoever. 'I could teach someone how to waste time, maybe. How to procrastinate effectively.' Michael first drew attention for his dramatic hair transformation earlier this year at the Tribeca Film Festival, where he debuted bleach-blond hair while promoting another project, 'Sacramento'. During an appearance on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers', he admitted the look was tied to his role in 'The Phoenician Scheme'. Host Seth Meyers, 51, told the audience: 'My producer today said, 'Michael wants me to let you know that he's blond'. 'I didn't quite know what to expect but I'm glad he told me.' Michael replied: 'Well, I kind of want to apologise for it a little bit. No, but the thing is, I mean, my hair is in a weird place right now. And I know this is going out on TV and everything but… that's all I wanted to say really.' The 'Superbad' actor went on to say that he was hesitant to cut the hair or dye it back. He said: 'I feel like I can't cut it right now because then I'll have, like, frosted tips. 'Or I dye it back to my own colour and that just feels wrong.'

Conan O'Brien says watching 'Hacks' tackle late night TV gives him PTSD: 'I'm kind of reliving it'
Hacks is bringing TV veteran Conan O'Brien back to the trenches of his late night era. In the latest episode of SiriusXM's Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend, the comedian and former late night host welcomed Hacks co-creator Paul W. Downs to chat about stand-up diva Deborah Vance's (Jean Smart) big return to the late night circuit on the latest season of the HBO hit. O'Brien admitted that he's experienced PTSD from watching the storyline unfold given his own history with late night. "The show delves into late night this year, which was fascinating for me because there are things that you cite in the show that I've lived through," O'Brien said. "And so I'll get a little bit of PTSD from watching it, but it's also really funny and apt. Like getting notes or, 'This is what we heard about,' you know, in the early days of my late night show research, and what are people saying and what do we need to try and adjust?" "It was all stuff that just felt impossible," he recounted of that period. "I'm kind of reliving it a little bit through your show, but you guys are doing a very good job of hitting a bunch of the nerves, which means you're getting it right." O'Brien made his late night debut with Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 1993, taking over David Letterman's post and holding it down until 2009. That led to his infamous and short-lived tenure on The Tonight Show, which was followed by the 2010 cult favorite Conan on TBS, which ran for 11 seasons up until 2021. Downs called writing a show about making a late night show "so stressful and hard," noting, "I didn't do five shows a week and have to do monologue jokes. And yet, viscerally, I felt the pressure of that."Naturally, O'Brien has been namedropped in the show. Jimmy Kimmel, playing a version of himself, confronts Smart's Deborah Vance in episode 5, "Clickable Face," after she poaches Kristen Bell to be a guest on her show. An angry Kimmel informs her that he's been entitled to "custody" of Bell since "Conan died." O'Brien told Downs that the scene "killed" him. "It's a very funny joke and nonsensical," he said. "What I loved about it is that it's said [and] no one questions it," he said, "It's just like . . . I get her after Conan died. And it's just like, that's understood. And I'm laughing because no one questions it." (Don't fret: co-creator Lucia Aniello has already assured that O'Brien is not dead in the Hacks universe, leaving the door open for a potential future cameo.) "We definitely want you on the show," Downs reiterated to O'Brien on the podcast, also sharing that Kimmel improvised the line in question. "I did not write that line." "Let me write that down," O'Brien quipped. "He will be repaid in kind." Watch the rest of Downs' conversation with O'Brien above. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Gwyneth Paltrow Has Salty Response For Critics Of Goop's Vagina Candle
Gwyneth Paltrow had some choice words for anyone still offended by Goop's cheeky, headline-grabbing candle. Speaking at the Mindvalley Manifesting Summit in Los Angeles on Saturday, the actor and lifestyle entrepreneur addressed the backlash to her brand's 2020 product, 'This Smells Like My Vagina,' calling the reaction 'fascinating.' The $75 candle was inspired by an offhand joke Paltrow made while testing scents with her team. 'We were messing around with different scents one day and I smelled something and was like, 'Oh, that smells like… you know,'' she recalled in a video shared by the summit's Instagram. 'I was joking!' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mindvalley (@mindvalley) When her collaborator, perfumer Douglas Little, suggested turning the scent into a product, she thought he was joking, too. But soon enough, the candle, described as having notes of 'geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed,' was live on Goop's website. 'It took us a long time to live that one down,' Paltrow admitted. 'But I kept it on the site because there's an aspect of women's sexuality where we're socialized to feel a lot of shame. And I sort of loved this kind of punk rock idea.' Then she put it even more bluntly: 'We are beautiful and we are awesome. And go fuck yourself.' Paltrow also reflected on the candle's cultural impact during a January 2020 appearance on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers,' describing it as a statement as much as a scent. 'You know, I think women; a lot of us have grown up feeling certain degrees of shame around our bodies or whatever,' she said. 'So this is just a little bit of, you know, a subversive candle for all of us out there.'

John Mulaney didn't meet Olivia Munn's mother until after their son was born
John Mulaney didn't meet Olivia Munn's mother until after their first child had been born. The 44-year-old actress gave birth to son Malcolm, three, in November 2021 after starting to date the 'Everybody's Live' host earlier that year, and her mother Dung Kim Schmid didn't get to meet him until after their new arrival. Olivia told 'Late Night With Seth Meyers': "So Malcolm was born the day before Thanksgiving and my mom comes, first of all, never met John by this point." Her mother didn't "even say 'hi' to John" at first, instead removing frozen turkeys from her luggage as she revealed a family "tradition" to the 'Saturday Night Live' star. Olivia - who gave birth to baby girl Méi June in September last year - recalled: "She says to John, 'You know, it's so exciting, in my family with all of our kids, the tradition [is] we put a drumstick in their hand for their first Thanksgiving when they're a baby'... "I was like, 'That's not a tradition. What is she talking about?' " John thought the tradition was "cool", but Olivia was totally baffled by her mother insisted it happened for "everybody's first Thanksgiving". She phoned her siblings to see if they had any photos to back their mother up. She added: "They said, 'No because she's lying. That's not true.' " However, they still took the photo, and her mother made sure to get the last laugh. Revealing the snap on the late night talk show, she said: "So, in this photo, John's holding Malcolm. My mom gets her turkey leg, she puts it there, she pats his hand and goes, 'Okay a new tradition.' " John - who revealed last summer he had secretly tied the knot with actress Olivia in New York City - previously opened up about his new in-laws, including Kim, who immigrated from Vietnam to the US in 1975. Asked about getting to know his wife's family, he told 'Late Night with Seth Myers': "It's the greatest single time in my life. "I've been in a lot of interesting situations. I've never - marrying into a large Vietnamese family is one of the most fun things I've ever done." When his friend asked for more details, John quipped: "If I did a perfectly accurate impersonation of my mother-in-law, it would be a career ender."
