JULIANNE MOORE: HER DRESS ADDS ABOUT 100 POUNDS

She’s still a beauty from the neck up, but Julianne Moore’s diaphanous gauzy layered dress has so much fabric that you can’t tell how small – or large- she is underneath. But the color is striking and it must be comfortable. Julianne is at the Venice Film Festival to receive a special award for her “excellence in art and social commitment.” She’s also presenting her film Suburbicon– directed by George Clooney.

ZAC EFRON MIGHT HAVE FINALLY MADE A GOOD MOVIE

#zacefron #janetcharlton

Zac Efron and his costar Maika Monroe turned up on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival to promote their movie “At Any Price.” The film is about an agricultural family in a rural Midwestern town stuggling to succeed in the modern farming business. Dennis Quaid is a father hoping his children will carry on in the farm business he worked so hard to develop, while Zac Efron is the son who is not interested in agriculture. The fact that he has a movie in a film festival is a big step for Zac’s career and he’s gotten good reviews for his performance. (In the photo above Maika – who reminds us of Kate Hudson – seems by her body language to be more interested in Zac than he is in her.)

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.
