Eiza Gonzalez Fast and Furious Jason Momoa Romance RV

WHAT DO JASON MOMOA AND EIZA GONZALEZ HAVE IN COMMON?

Okay, so undeniable hunk and outdoorsman Jason Momoa, 42, has been linked to drop-dead gorgeous Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez, 32, – his first possible “link” since he and wife Lisa Bonet parted ways. Currently, Jason and Eiza are filming Fast & Furious 10 together in Italy. Turns out he was also at the premier of her movie Ambulance, but avoided being photographed with her. People magazine is pretty reliable and they think it’s a budding romance. On the downside, are these two compatible? Eiza is in her element when she’s all dolled up for glam events like the Met Gala (Above) – the kind of situation Jason avoids like the plague. And don’t forget, Jason was last seen happily living in his RV camper (he likes being “close to nature”) parked at a friend’s house. (He even drove it to his Aquaman premier. ) Not exactly romantic…

Diva Fast & Furious Vin Diesel

IS VIN DIESEL THE BIGGEST DIVA IN HOLLYWOOD?

The Telegraph in the UK asked this question and it appears the answer is yes. And Vin Diesel’s former co-star Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson heartily agrees. Director Justin Lin, who worked on 5 Fast & Furious movies and was set to direct the next two, just walked OUT because he cannot bear to work with Diesel again. Lin said the 10 million dollar salary was not worth sacrificing his “mental health.” We all know what Vin’s past costar The Rock thinks of him. The Rock praises his female costars but says the men are a different story. The Rock is known for being a likable guy on all sets and has little patience for tyrants – he doesn’t tattle, but drops hints. Diesel is known for keeping everyone waiting for hours on sets. The Rock turned down BIG money offers to work again with Diesel. Did you know Vin has it written into his contract that he can never be seen LOSING a fight onscreen? Isn’t that just too macho for words!

Dwayne Johnson Fast and Furious Feud! The Rock Vin Diesel

THE ROCK RISES ABOVE HIS FEUD WITH VIN DIESEL

We have to admit we were just a little bit disappointed that the feud between Vin Diesel and The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) did not flourish. Apparently Vin KNEW that Dwayne was NOT fond of him (he had criticized Johnson’s acting) when he published a plea on social media for Johnson to return to the Fast & Furious franchise. Certainly The Rock’s popularity added a lot to the films, but he made it clear he did NOT want to work with Diesel again, without actually naming him. (Diesel has a rep for being egotistical, late for work, and disrespectful to other actors.) Diesel’s social media message started out with the belittling ”My Little Brother Dwayne” and went downhill from there. Johnson’s reply was carefully worded and terse – he did NOT say anything personal about Diesel, but verified he wouldn’t be returning and wished everyone in the franchise well. It’s apparent the Dwayne has future public service on his mind- we think he will run for office someday…and why NOT?

Fast and Furious Producer Producers Guild Vin Diesel

VIN DIESEL CAN’T GET NO SATISFACTION

Little did we know that Fast & Furious star Vin Diesel has been involved for YEARS in a battle with the Producers Guild of America because they won’t recognize his work as a producer on the movie franchise. According to Variety, the Producers Guild investigated Vin’s desire to be recognized as a producer by interviewing numerous key crewmembers on the set to determine his actual contributions. They decided his main contribution was acting. Diesel wants to be recognized as a legitimate producer because he would not only be eligible to get a best picture Oscar, but better bonuses based on box office performance. Considering HOW MANY “producer” names we now see attached to any movie, (what DO all these producers contribute, anyway?) we think the Producers Guild should make their standards clear and high.

Fashion Housedress Jordana Brewster

JORDANA BREWSTER: THE COTTON HOUSEDRESS IS BACK!

Last seen in the early sixties, cotton housedresses were a wardrobe staple – especially for stay at home moms. They were loose fitting and comfortable, but still flattering. Models in advertisements for home products like vacuum cleaners or washing machines were inevitably clad in cheerful printed housedresses. Lucy and Ethel wore them in just about every episode. The frocks were usually inexpensive but came in all price ranges – from Sears catalog to Lord & Taylor. Fast & Furious star Jordana Brewster and her little boy stepped out for a Sunday stroll and she wore a retro housedress.

Charlize Theron Fast and Furious Hair!

CHARLIZE THERON, LOOKING ALMOST LIKE AN ORDINARY PERSON

At first glance, we might not have recognized Charlize Theron, except for the red lipstick. Charlize was photographed at Wimbledon – she’s in London filming Fast & Furious 9. Apparently her character requires a no nonsense haircut and color. She’s cranking out one movie after another – but mostly action and comic book fantasies that we have no interest in seeing. The one exception is the still untitled film about Fox’s despicable Roger Ailes: Charlize plays Megyn Kelly, one of the women who took on the toxic male culture at Fox, and she costars with Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie.

Fast and Furious Feminism Michelle Rodriguez

MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ DOES THE RIGHT THING

Thank you, Michelle Rodriguez, for mouthing off at the all-male writing team of the Fast & the Furious franchise and pointing out the lame writing for female characters. Michelle could just be a good little girl and enjoy her increasingly hefty salary but she chose to speak out – and we love her for that. Michelle remarked that she and Jordana Brewster have been filming the movies for 16 years and their characters have never even had an onscreen conversation! She hinted that she might not appear in their next movie, Fast & Furious 9, if the females aren’t given more to do. (They can start by adding female writers to the team!)
