AL PACINO: BURGLAR OR ACTOR?

We’ve always had a weakness for celebrity mugshots. This is one we haven’t seen before, for some reason. Al Pacino was only 20 when he and two other young actors were stopped by police in Rhode Island in 1961. The guys were dressed like burglars with masks and gloves, and a .38 caliber pistol was found in the car. They were arrested for possession of a concealed weapon and spent three days in jail because they couldn’t come up with the $2000 bail. Al explained that they were actors on their way to a job and the gun was a prop. Charges were dropped, but this cute photo lives on…
Would you have dated him?

LADY GAGA IS DRESSED TO KILL IN HOUSE OF GUCCI

Lady Gaga is looking every inch the entitled Italian socialite (bejeweled and wearing a mink coat) that she is playing in her movie House of Gucci. She must be enjoying her many costume changes. After filming scenes in Lake Como, the production has returned to Rome where their current set is near the actual Gucci store. Gaga plays the Black Widow (dubbed by the newspapers) Patrizia Reggiani, accused of hiring someone to murder her ex-husband Maurizio. Above, Al Pacino plays Aldo Gucci, Maurizio’s important uncle. The movie takes place from the 1970’s to the 90’s and judging by Al’s sideburns, this is a scene from the 70’s. Also featured in this scene was an actress playing Sophia Loren, being pursued by paparazzi. The REAL Patrizia Reggiani is already out of prison and bitterly complaining that Lady Gaga should have met her before filming started.

LOOK WHAT “THE IRISHMAN” DID FOR AL PACINO

Not long ago, Al Pacino used to walk freely around Beverly Hills and have lunch wherever he liked. Occasionally a fan would see him and ask for a selfie or autograph, but it wasn’t bothersome. It so happens, he’s HOT again. Nowadays when word gets out that Al is in some restaurant, (E Baldi today) word spreads like wildfire and there’s a noisy and demanding crowd waiting when he walks out. Alas, the high price of success…

ROBERT DE NIRO LOVES HIMSELF IN “THE IRISHMAN”

The Irishman premiered last night in New York and we can hardly WAIT to see the de-ageing process that allows Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino ‘s characters age through the decades – from the late 40’s to the late 90’s. The computer imaging that made these older actors look much younger was so impressive to Robert De Niro that when he saw himself, he joked “This could extend my career for another 30 years!” Netflix is thrilled with the good reviews, but everyone is wondering how moviegoers will react to the three and a half hour length of this film!

AL PACINO IS SINGLE AGAIN

You can’t miss Al Pacino, 78, in Beverly Hills – he usually wears black no matter what the weather is, and today he wore a black leather jacket and boots. Al, who has never been married, is single again – he and his girlfriend of several years, Lucila Sola, 42, have apparently split and haven’t been seen together for months. Lucila is an actress from Buenos Aires and she happens to have a beautiful model daughter, Camila Morrone, 21, who has been dating Leonardo DiCaprio, 43, a friend of Al’s. Isn’t it interesting how both mother and daughter prefer much older men? Small world…

LEONARDO DICAPRIO: LIKE MOTHER LIKE DAUGHTER

The models just keep getting younger and younger for Leonardo DiCaprio, 43. We figure as soon as they get old enough to realize he might not be such a great catch, that he moves on to a younger model. (Remember Gisele Bundchen lasted five years!) Leo’s current squeeze is 20 year old Argentinian model Camila Morrone. The fact that he’s old enough to be her father doesn’t bother Camila – her mother Lucila Sola is only 42 (younger than Leo) and SHE’S dating Al Pacino, 78! So having much older boyfriends runs in the (very attractive) family!

THE IRISHMAN: SPECIAL EFFECTS WILL MAKE ROBERT DE NIRO LOOK 30 YEARS OLD

Robert De Niro is on a set in Queens beating up a shopkeeper for his new film The Irishman. It’s about a REALLY nasty gangster named Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran and flashbacks of his 25 mob murders – including Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa. Scorsese is directing all his favorites – DeNiro, Al Pacino (he plays Hoffa,) Joe Pesci, Harvey Keitel etc in this gangster epic said to rival Goodfellas. The film’s huge budget stalled production until Netflix took over. Interestingly, DeNiro, 74, has to start out the movie as a 30 year old, so the same special effects team that made Brad Pitt age backwards for Benjamin Button will make DeNiro look young. It’s worth seeing just for THAT…

ROBERT DOWNEY JR IN HIS AL PACINO T SHIRT

Two big movies opened the Toronto Film Festival – one starring Robert Downey Jr, and the other starring Al Pacino (seen on Downey’s shirt.) Barry Levinson directed “The Humbling” starring Al as an egotistical theater actor on the skids who awkwardly falls for a friend’s daughter played by Greta Gerwig. The audience found it hilarious. Downey’s movie is called “The Judge” and he’s finally got a real acting role – he plays a lawyer who goes back to Indiana to defend his father, a respectable judge, on a murder charge. Nice to see (above) he hasn’t lost his sense of humor.
