NY POST...PAGE 6
March 7, 2006 -- WITH another Oscar-cast under its belt, Hollywood's
A-list boozed and schmoozed into the wee hours of yesterday morning.
High in the hills at Soho House L.A., Mike DeLuca, Rick Yorn and
Patrick Whitesell hosted their annual "after-after party" for VIPs
looking to cut loose after Vanity Fair's tightly ed to-do at
Mortons.
And let loose they did. "Everyone said I was fat, so I did something
about it," slap-happy songbird Mariah Carey blurted to Page Six,
seemingly out of nowhere.
"Here! Feel my thighs! Feel my butt!"
After several requests, Page Six agreed to fondle her newly firmed
physique, and can confirm the absence of unsightly "jelly."
"See?" Carey said, proudly. "I'll never be a stick woman, but now I'm
fierce!"
Across the room, Brittany Murphy sported an engagement rock the size of
a boulder as Owen Wilson, Jennifer Lopez and hubby Marc Anthony worked
the crowd. Later, Paris Hilton argued loudly with her Greek
meal-ticket, Stavros Niarchos. Benicio Del Toro was spotted scarfing
down waffles in the kitchen.
Earlier in the evening, Vanity Fair honcho Graydon Carter's newly
svelte guest list made for "the best Oscar party in five years,"
according to one elated invitee.
At one point, Page Six introduced much-arrested actor Mickey Rourke to
L.A. Police Chief Bill Bratton - though they didn't exactly hit it off.
"You're a cop, right?," squinty-eyed Rourke asked suspiciously as
Madonna and Guy Ritchie looked on. Informed that Bratton, New York's
former police commissioner, was, in fact, L.A.'s "top cop," Rourke
skulked off toward the exit.
Other amusing guests at the VF gala:
* Joaquin Phoenix, who showed up with two "dates," his mother and
sister - leading one there to quip: "Well, that's good. He's got one
girlfriend in New York, one in L.A., and another one that floats. I
guess this got him out of asking any of them to the party and p - - -
ing off the others."
* Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn, who arrived at the party
separately but were inseparable once inside. Vaughn stroked Aniston's
arm and only left her side to chain-smoke after Will Ferrell arrived to
relieve him.

The rock matriarch and reality TV star, who regularly goes under the knife
to fix her looks, has lashed out at the trio for going too far.
Of Griffith, Osbourne says, "she has destroyed herself," while "Sin City"

Mickey Rourke Takes The 'Rap'
October 18, 2005, 7:31:53
ROURKE TAKES THE RAP FOR FORMER MISDEMEANOURS
Hollywood hardman MICKEY ROURKE only learned to take responsibility for his
actions when his turbulent life finally hit rock bottom.
The ageing SIN CITY star was ready to give up hope when acting roles dried
up and his second wife CARRE OTIS walked out on him in 1994.
But Rourke admits the personal trauma forced him to confront his problems
head on instead of laying the blame on other people.
He says, "I've had days when I haven't wanted to be on this planet. When I
was younger I was fuelled by anger and that was the problem.
"When the anger turned into shame about what I'd done, the going got even
tougher. I stopped blaming the world and looked in the mirror and said to
myself, 'I've lost everything because of me - not because of them'.
"And I finally realised, 'Oh my God. I've lost my wife, my career, my home,
my credibility - because of me.' It's ok when you're 22 but when you're 48
it's disgusting."
http://jam.canoe.ca/Movies/Artists/K/Knightley_Keira/2005/10/09/1255234.html
Knightley is one busy lady these days
By ANN MARIE MCQUEEN -- Ottawa Sun
BEVERLY HILLS -- Keira Knightley is one in-demand 20-year-old.
The British actress was up all night shooting scenes for the second and
third Pirates of the Caribbean instalments, with just enough time for a
shower before meeting the press to talk about her newest movie, Domino.
With two cans of Red Bull in hand, the fetching and cheerful Knightley
describes her exhaustion while looking so fresh-faced one would think she
was in bed sleeping -- and not up swashbuckling -- all night.
"I was doing swordfighting and getting so tired I thought, 'I'm actually
going to wreck myself,' and didn't hurt myself at all," she said. "But then
when I got to the hotel this morning at 7, I fell out of the door of the car
and cracked my knee on the side of the pavement."
Knightley's career took off after she played a soccer player in 2002's Bend
It Like Beckham. In addition to the first Pirates, she went on to shoot
another half-dozen movies, including King Arthur, Love, Actually and, most
recently, The Jacket.
She had just four days off between her turn as Jane Austen heroine Elizabeth
Bennett in Pride and Prejudice and Domino. The 43-day shoot was scheduled
specifically so Knightley could squeeze it in.
Domino, which opens Friday, is inspired by real-life model-turned-bounty
hunter Domino Harvey. The 35-year-old daughter of famed British actor
Laurence Harvey died of an overdose in June while out on bail and under
house arrest pending trial on drug dealing charges.
Because she had so little time to prepare, Knightley was left wondering just
how she would morph into tough-as-nails Domino from refined and sensible
Bennett. Knightley said she was "freaking out" every time director Tony
Scott would call her on Pride to talk about Domino, finding herself for the
first time unable to wrap her head around the character.
"Then I was passing a hairdresser's and I thought, 'Right, this is how I'm
going to do it, I'm going to cut Lizzie Bennett out of my hair,' " she said.
Studied tapes
She talked to Harvey twice on the phone before she died, and studied taped
interviews and pictures. But lack of prep time and the film's fictional
elements meant Knightley framed Domino largely on her own.
"Actually, Tony said right at the beginning 'just make up your own
character,' so actually I based it on my best mate Bonnie because she was
around all the time when I was doing the other film and I could look at
her."
Knightley did cut her hair -- though she was sporting long, straight
extensions by the time it came to promote both movies -- and left Bennett
behind, big-time. Body-baring outfits, dark eye makeup and a permanent sneer
also helped her embody the gun-toting Harvey.
As Scott makes clear from words which flash across the screen during the
opening moments of Domino -- "based on a true story ... kind of" -- he has
not made a biopic.
After rejecting two more linear, realistic s as "boring," Scott tapped
screenwriter Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko) who conjured up the frenetic tale
while sitting in the U.S. Department of Motor Vehicles. A real-life
attendant named Lateesha (played by zaftig comedian Mo'Nique Imes-Jackson)
was his inspiration for the movie's outrageous plot-turning character.
The unlikely caper was then shot in Scott's signature jumpy, multiple-camera
format, featuring a large and bizarre cast. Mickey Rourke and newcomer Edgar
Ramirez round out Knightley's bounty team while dozens of real 18th Street
gang members stepped in for a tense stand-off scene in the movie;
Christopher Walken, Dabney Coleman, Lucy Liu and Mena Suvari all have small
but memorable parts.
Reality show hosts
To take Domino's fictionalized reality a step further, Beverly Hills 90210
graduates Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green turn up to play themselves as
hosts of a reality show named Bounty Squad.
Kelly, a fan of 90210, insisted the pair stay in the movie even when New
Line execs weren't convinced they were necessary.
Ziering jokes that when he got the , he asked his agent "How much am I
going to have to pay them to be in this movie?"
"It was the most random thing that could have happened, but it was something
I hoped for," says Green. "I figured if Tarantino was a fan of Travolta,
there's gotta be somebody that's doing well in this business that actually
liked 90210."
Though Harvey isn't here to comment, several reports from unnamed friends
since her death suggest she wasn't happy with the movie's liberties.
Scott scoffs at reports she felt sold out by the film, angry particularly at
its depiction of her as heterosexual. In life she had relationships with
women; on screen Knightley-as-Harvey goes topless for a steamy desert sex
scene with Venezuelan co-star Edgar Ramirez.
Domino doesn't touch on her drug problems or early death; Scott says again,
the movie is based on real people but is almost entirely fiction.
Scott says Harvey never saw the finished film but watched many sequences and
was there on the final day of shooting. "It's been misreported by the press,
saying she didn't like it and she's pissed off that we didn't represent it
in the right way," says Scott. "And everything she saw she loved."
Harvey also wrote and sang the track Heads You Lose, Tails You Die, which
plays at the beginning and end at the film. "That was her motto for
life,"said Scott.
As for rumours he shifted the film's opening date to capitalize on Harvey's
death, Scott says he only moved it up avoid competing with Knightley's Pride
release Nov. 18.
Domino Harvey's father became a major star after appearing in 1959's Room at
the Top and 1962's The Manchurian Candidate, but died when she was four. Her
mother Pauline Stone, a Vogue model played by Jacqueline Bisset in the
movie, later married Hard Rock Cafe chain owner Peter Morton.
Harvey was expelled from four different schools, dabbling in modelling,
acting, being a ranch hand and a firefighter before she found her niche:
Hunting down thieves, drug dealers and murderers for a Los Angeles bail bond
agency.
Scott says he became like a surrogate father to Harvey during a friendship
which started 12 years ago when he visited her at home on one of her many
bounty-hunting breaks. "Her mom wouldn't let her live in the house with guns
so she lived in an apartment above the garage. The apartment had AK-47s and
fatigues and Soldier of Fortune magazines," Scott recalled.
Like others in her circle, Scott worried about Harvey as she struggled with
addictions, in and out of rehab before her death.
"She lived a hard life," he said. "I wasn't surprised, but it still hurts."

Rourke: I'm a one woman man
01/10/2005 - 20:02:30
Celebrated womaniser Mickey Rourke would give up his wild lifestyle to
settle down with just one partner - as long as it was ex-wife Carre Otis.
The actor insist his lothario behaviour is just a way to take his mind off
Wild Orchid co-star Otis, to whom he was married for six years, because
their divorce in 1998 still haunts him.
He says: "We do crazy things to numb the pain. If I had my pick I'd be with
one lady. Why do you think I have seven dogs? Because I can't sleep in my
bed without them. Because the bed's too big."

Rourke planning London move
22/09/2005 - 08:06:20
Hollywood hellraiser Mickey Rourke is planning to move to London permanently
after grabbing headlines with his party-fuelled lifestyle during his stay in
the British capital.
The Sin City actor has fallen in love with the European city while filming
new movie Stormbreaker - but he is worried if his finances will be able to
cope with the switch from America to notoriously expensive London.
He says: "Yeah, I'm planning to move here sometime in the next couple of
months. I'm really enjoying London.
"It's a lot of fun and I'm having a great time but, man, you don't get much
bang for your buck here, do you?"

She might be normal considering what she does for a living, but she's still

the top of his game, he was ugly. I remember a story that Joe Queenan did
for Movieline about how the starlets today (circa 1990?) were girls compared
with the starlets of the 40s. He brought up the fact that Lauren Bacall
was 19 when she had her breakthrough roll. Name any 19 year old today who
could hold a candle to Betty at 19. Maybe that is what Mickey was alluding
to. But then again, he's so punch drunk he could have been thinking about

Rourke Confronted by Model's Angry Boyfriend
Mickey Rourke was confronted outside a London nightclub by a jilted student
in the early hours of yesterday morning, after the man's model girlfriend
ditched him mid-date for the veteran actor. The Sin City star, 48, left the
Boujis club in the British capital's Kensington district with young beauty
Anya Iniskia. Iniskia had been on a date with her boyfriend Andreas Franzi,
22, who angrily followed the pair outside where he challenged Rourke to hand
Iniskia back. While being held back by the nightclub's doormen, Franzi
shouted at the actor, "Hey, I want to talk to you. That's my girl you've got
there. Who do you think you are, some big movie star? I could buy you ten
times over." Former boxer Rourke, throwing shadow punches, responded, "Come
over here, tough guy. I'll show you who I am." Rourke and Iniskia then got
into a taxi and headed to the luxury Dorchester hotel, where they reportedly
stayed until 1pm yesterday afternoon. Franzi, who has been living with
Iniskia for five months, says, "I thought we'd be together always."

Maybe I'm brain damaged from too many knocks on the head as a child but
I never know what gives anyone sexual magnetism and with guys it's
impossible and alien and even with women I always seem to pick up on
something obscure in the extreme, like I think Amanda Plummer is very sexy
but I find Pam Anderson no more appealing than an average pickupworthy girl
at closing time. Jenny McCarthy's dullness is almost annoying as the anoying
character which has become her stock in trade and Anna Nicole Smith is such
a train wreck all her charms are lost and he accent is too close to some of
my relatives and contrary to poplular opinion all white treash don't want to
marry or have sex with their cousins.
Right now there is sort of dearth of sexuality like that of even the
recent past when the Sharon Stone's and Kim Basingers's and Demi Moore's
were as sweet, warm and tasty as the foam on fresh milk. And I can't compare
any of the newer girls to Marilyn or Kim Novak or Grace Kelly or Audrey
Hepburn or even the sun-washed fresh as dasies 1960's girls like Connie
Stevens, or the gorgeous girl next door fleur du mal's Sue Lyon and my
personal object of worship Mimsy Farmer (who 28 years ago smiled at me at an
outdoor market in Italy.)
As for guys, my guesses are usually wrong. Mickey Rourke and Matt
Dillion looked like they'd be good bets as objects of female obsession both
both for varrying reasons have faded in the Califonia sunset. Alec Baldwin
and John Travolta appeared somewhat simian to me when they were younger but
some women seem to like that. John dispite the mythology seems a regular guy
now who'd be fun to know becuase he has his own plane and he's into the
family thing which always impresses me. Guys like Clint Eastwood and Sean
Connery seemed carved from some mystical rock and Richard Gere who women
seemed to worship looked to much like some of my cousins, the ones I hate,
for me to like him. Brad Pitt and Johhny Depp are like yin and yang but not
being a woman I don't know which is which. Brad is the ripped one while
Johnny seems kind of short and stocky and some who was a crew man on Don
Juan Demarco said wearing his heeled Don Jaun boots he was only eye to eye
with Brando who was listed 5'10' in his bio, but being short didn't hurt Tom
Cruise with women until his Sceintology started reminding you of that former
party pal who after waking up in his own puke in a side ditch in Vegas after
a drunken night of whoring finds Jesus. I think Mr. Depp (aside from the PR
hyped Anti-Americanism which if probably more smoke than fire) was smart not
to follow the leading man thing which always puts an actor in danger of
being compaired to someone impossible to match like the young Brando, or
Monty Clift in A Place in The Sun or the Young Mr's Newman or Beatty or the
guarenteed career sabatoguer comparison James Dean which I think may have
destroyed some of those above. Mr Depp has always been at his best as the
sadly hopeful weakling with a dream, Ed Wood, Gilbert Grape, Edward
Sissorhands and Don Juan DeMarco, so perhaps it's the guy who girls think is
cute who has that vulnerable loser thing only without deliberately trying
for some archaic concept of 1950's semi-beatnik unthinking "hipness," which
no matter how a modern star tries can't match the raw appeal of Brando,
Dean, or the young king, The King himself, Elvis.
Mr. Depp's conscious refusal to play stereo-typed leading man can only
be thought of as genius. But sexual magnetism, who knows? What do I see a
guy with a roundish face and small mouth, who if I was back training in
Philly in Dr. Orne's lab being giving some military LSD or something, would
make me wonder if he was Betty Boop's brother.
Please Depp-maniac's, don't attack. I see most celebrities as cartoon or
children's movie or TV animals. To me Kim Bassinger a personal is Jeff's the
original TV Lassie, with the white flame mark on the face, a dog so
beautiful that I would have died for it. Sharon Stone is My Friend Flicka, a
filly I would have walked across the Sonora Desert barefoot in the dead of
summer to get a chance to ride. I always had a thing for riding filly's, I
loved when they were skittish and always nipping at me.
One of my favorite Kirk Douglas movies is Lonely Are The Brave with him
breaking jail and trying to escape life in the modern would on a gorgeous
filly. I cry at the end of that movie every time I see it. It's impossible,
like when Bambi's mother is shot or when Tommy Kirk has to shoot Old Yellar,
or when Claude Jarman has to let his pet fawn Flag go ( I still have trouble
watching The Yearling because it's so sad) Or the little Hopeful little Girl
in a tree Grows in Brooklyn or the last kiss at the Gestapo sirens come,
Diary of Anne frank, if you don't tear up there's something wrong with you.
Or maybe there's something wrong with me. After a lifetime of
brutization and rejection maybe I'm the sick one because I only tear up at
the same things that made me cry when I was a kid.
In any case, whatever Johnny Depp's appeal, he has a slightly hapless
regular guy quality that makes him one of my favorite actors. I must have
watched Ed Wood ten times. Gilbert Grape only twice, it's so sad. I even
liked that weird thing with Cristina Ricci which was sort of creepy because
of their age difference, like that Autumn in New York thing with Richard
Gere and Wynonna Rider.
Inside I'm sympathetically thinking run dude, get out of there before
the cops grab you for messing with little miss jail bait. Each has there on
right to whatever relationship they chose as long as children aren't
involved but as a survivor of the seventies when as a rock and roller you
didn't ask how young the girl was if she was willing, only if she was on the
pill, I flinch ever time I see much older guys and young girls.
Even in real life when I was in LA I was always sort of grossed out by
some middle aged Alan King looking guy with some dewy eighteen year old
girl. I think that's why both the Lolita movies creep me out so much. It's a
bit like watching Muhammed Ali boxing at the end of his career, inside
you're feeling like Jackie Cooper in The Champ, "please don't Champ, please
don't!"
You're going to get hurt or killed and nobody really cares when some old
Palooka dies, nobody except the little kid who loves him. Dispite it
supposedly being a man's world, if a guy is a bloodied up loser no one
really cares except maybe the little kid he was taking the beating to
provide for.
I think it's why people love the Rocky 1 and Cinderella Man stories,
because inside we know that most guys are going to go out with their backs
on the canvas and blood leaking from their ears, or if they are poets or
writer s or musicans or just the lonely butcher in Brooklyn, you just know,
the odds are high that they'll wind up just another stumble-bum, dying of a
heart attack on the bus to work or lying on the street like Jack Kerouac
drowned in his own drunken blood. In the real world there aren't many heros,
and not all the losers are wife beating villians, mostly life is full of
average guys who never have a dream come true, who day in and day out take a
beating and put up with it, or if they get broken down and can't take the
beating any more, like a fighter hitting the canvas, they don't get the
prize belt, the money, the gold ring or the girl. And no adays women in
interest of their own survival don't want a beaten palooka anymore than
they want a case of the cramps.
So those bums on the street or beat down boxers or average joe's sitting
in the dark watching tv alone crying in their beer are called losers and no
one really cares and there's no one to cry for them, except maybe some
little kid.
Maybe it's the loser inside someone like Johnny Depp that appeals, but
is it sexual magnetism? Ask a woman or a gay man. I don't know from sexy in
men.
To me, the sad losers he's played are in the great tradition of Jack
Palance in Requim For a Heavyweight or Ernest Bourgnine in Marty or Brando
as Terry Malloy in On The Waterfront, average guys who like average guys in
real life mostly get kicked around cheated and lied to. Johnny Depp's
affinity for similar loser characters in a modern era has the same kind of
class as the men I mentioned above. And you believe him on screen which is
pretty rare these days. He's a class act.
