Al Pacino

NOTE TO AL PACINO’S GIRLFRIEND: DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH WAITING FOR A RING!

A few days ago an online rumor circulated that Al Pacino, 72, was engaged to marry his Argentinian actress girlfriend Lucila Sola, 33, and that they were shopping for rings. To no one’s surprise the story turned out to be false. Al is one of the few bigtime Hollywood actors who have NEVER been married and show no desire to do so. He’s had long relationships with a lot of women including Diane Keaton, Beverly D’Angelo, and Tuesday Weld, and has three children. Many of his girlfriends were extremely disappointed when Al refused to commit. Hopefully his current partner Lucila (above in Rome with Al) has no such expectations

WARNING: READ THIS BEFORE YOU WATCH THE “PHIL SPECTOR” MOVIE ON HBO

Why David Mamet would write a screenplay about Phil Spector and imply that he might not be guilty of killing Lana Clarkson is a mystery to us and many other people. We’ve never been a fan of Mamet, but this is an insult to the innocent victim and the California justice system – and journalistically unethical. The late Clarkson’s publicist Ed Lozzi has been tirelessly protesting the script and arranged a demonstration at a recent screening of the HBO movie airing Sunday. LA Times reporter Harriet Ryan, who painstakingly covered both of Spector’s murder trials agrees that the script is laughably inaccurate and ignores the facts that got Spector convicted. It actually hints that he didn’t pull the trigger! It’s frightening to think that viewers’ opinions of Spector might soften and they shouldn’t. The fact that Al Pacino is excellent in the role and the movie is top quality otherwise, only makes it worse. Click HERE to read Ryan’s story BEFORE you see the movie.

PHIL SPECTOR GOT WHAT HE DESERVED

We’re not fans of writer David Mamet to begin with, so when we heard that he attempts to create a little doubt about Phil Spector’s guilt in the murder of Lana Clarkson in his HBO movie, we were turned off, but not enough to keep us from seeing the movie. Maybe Mamet thought he needed some “conflict” to liven up the film. But Phil Spector’s life offers plenty of entertainment and his guilt is not debatable. We were fascinated to meet Phil at a party at Joan Rivers’ New York apartment back in the 90’s. He was obviously an egomaniac and an unstable character – whether drunk or sober. The jury got it right when they locked him up.

AL PACINO AND LUCILA SOLA: 40 YEARS AGE DIFFERENCE IS NO BIG DEAL

There’s no doubt that Al Pacino’s young girlfriend Lucila Sola cares a lot about him – she wore flats to the premier of the movie they did together. Pacino, 71, directed Lucila, along with Jessica Chastain, in Wilde Salome, which was celebrated above, at the Venice Film Festival. Al is busier than ever, having just finished the Phil Spector biography for HBO. Al and Lucila met during filming and have been together for at least six months – she and her daughter are living in his Los Angeles home.

WE HAVEN’T SEEN THE LAST OF PHIL SPECTOR

Who IS this familiar looking guy? It’s Al Pacino made up to resemble Phil Spector for his yet-untitled HBO movie. He probably has a whole room just for his wigs in this project because Spector’s coiffure changed radically over the years. We met the very scary Spector at a Christmas party back in the late 90’s at Joan Rivers’ house (he was dating her assistant) and he was very loud and bossy and guzzled creme de menthe. He made Joan rather nervous. But he did play the piano.

40 YEARS SEPARATE AL PACINO AND HIS MODEL GIRLFRIEND

Despite playing “Dr Death” Jack Kevorkian in his last HBO movie, Al Pacino, 71, continues to score with the ladies. He’s been seeing Argentina-born swimsuit model Lucila Sola, 31 for the past year. The forty year age difference doesn’t seem to matter. Lucila and her young daughter live with Al at his Beverly Hills home. Above, he’s busy playing murderer Phil Spector in another HBO extravaganza, and she’s doing a swimsuit layout in Italy.

AL PACINO IS BEING FITTED FOR WIGS TO PLAY PHIL SPECTOR FOR HBO

Nobody plays eccentrics better than Al Pacino – as he reminded us in his HBO movie “You Don’t Know Jack” (about Dr Jack >Kervorkian) last year. Now he’s about to sink his teeth into the role of music mogul/murderer Phil Spector for HBO, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Spector’s life is a glut of success and excess – he produced hit records while keeping his wife Ronnie locked up as a prisoner and ended up in jail for shooting Lana Clarkson. Hollywood hairdressers will be competing to work on this film because the wide variety of Spector wigs are such an important part of his story development.

IT’S ABOUT TIME: AL PACINO’S FIRST TV COMMERCIAL

It’s a big deal when Al Pacino does his first TV commercial. He finally dipped his toe in the lucrative water of advertising for an Australian coffee company, Vittoria Coffee. The company is owned by an Italian migrant family so that appealed to Al, plus he loves the coffee. Al has never been to Australia so they filmed the spot, which was directed by Barry Levinson, in his own neighborhood in New York. Of course, it will only be shown in Australia.

AL PACINO: THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY TO CROSS A STREET

Above, Al Pacino is lecturing his son Anton on the safe way to cross a street in Beverly Hills. Al’s HBO movie “You Don’t Know Jack,” which is the story of Dr Jack Kevorkian, the crusader for medically assisted suicide dubbed “Dr Death,” has been getting rave reviews. Apparently Pacino captured the Doctor’s voice and persona to perfection. Barry Levinson is the director and Variety called the movie “to die for.” Even Dr Kevorkian himself had tears in his eyes at the premier in New York. Jack Kevorkian happens to be a personal hero of ours. Don’t miss the premier on HBO, April 24.

THE PACINOS PICK OUT THEIR CHRISTMAS TREE

Here’s one to get you in the mood for Christmas: Al Pacino took his twins Olivia and Anton shopping for a Christmas tree in Beverly Hills. Mom is “Entourage” actress Beverly D’Angelo, but we never seem to see the four of them together. Olivia brought her notepad or maybe her list for Santa, and she and Anton picked out a small green tree – not the white flocked one.
