Anne’s billionaire love story
I love Anne Hathaway, so I don’t care if they just photograph her sleepwalking. Now she’s in your typical multibillion-dollar love story. It’s about WeWork. Which it didn’t. It’s called “WeCrashed” and it’s on Apple TV+.
Hathaway: “This is about the two founders R♑ebekah and Adam Neumann. Jared Leto and I wanted to examine their experience through the lens of a love story and to see why people make decisions. Without their love story there’d never have been WeWork.”
Leto: “Neumann was a compelling, colorful character. A ꧙recent and relevant immigrant who built a company out of nothing into a $47 billion empire. It’s about success and failure.”
Don’t cry for Argentina —♈ or Neumann. He’s still worth about $1.4 billion.
Farm to film
ANOTHER film. Everyone’s kvetching about minimum groceries and maximum prices. is a 35-minute shortie about ex-chef Patty Gentry who now grows for celebrity chefs. Problems like moths eat the arugula, what we eat’s not always what it says it is, there’s much non-organic out there and other things no need to know. Director Roger Sherman: “Patty farms 3 acres in Long Island’s Brookhaven, next to Bellport. She rents from Isabella Rossellini who saves animals and whose 18 acres she saved from development.” Rossellini: “Patty, the Picasso of vegetables, reminds me of my mother, Ingrid Bergman. Same energy.” They’re now looking to grow a longer film about veggies. Like maybe a “To Beet Is Not To Bee🍷t”?
More of Moore
ZARAH Maillard performed with rockers Goo Goo Dolls. Years ago, husband Gene Maillard, once a Grammy exec, invited Roger Moore to Hotel du Cap in Antibes. Asking a high-class French Riviera hotel waiter to bus a table is a non-non. They asked. Le waiter sputtered: “Have you no legs and feet? Are you paraplegics?” Moore laughed. He is remembered in ” 💜It’s also 73 years since his first TV appearance.
Early mornings with Sid
“BERNIE & Sid,” radio’s biggest and hottest, have d🦂ominated WABC’s 6-to-10 a.m. since Lincoln was clean-shaven. All civilization listens to them.
Sid Rosenberg: “Started when I was a young guy on WNEW-FM. Then came an opening to work with Don Imus. I said, ‘You’re crazy. He’s miserable. He’ll hate me.’ They said, ‘True.’ So I said, ‘OK.’ 2005 I got fired and his producer Bernard McGuirk and I joined forces on WABC. Maybe not everyone loves me, because I don’t lie or beat around the bush. Some people get scared when I tell it like it is. Our show, like some freewheeling🌊 othe꧂rs, has a delay. Others’, seven to 10 seconds. Mine’s a minute. It’s not a careful program. There’s sexual innuendo. Brooklyn tough guy words you usually don’t hear on other shows, but I’m allowed. I rarely get into trouble. And I don’t prewrite questions. There is no script. Everything’s off the cuff. Makes me seem more brilliant.”
I’m ta✱king hཧis word for that. Then, assuming he has sex — which, knowing him, I probably doubt — what’s his bedtime?
“Go to sleep around 9. The alarm is set a🥀t 3:45. At the office 4:45, start prepping by 5, hit the air 6:05 sharp. I make my own coffee at home, my driver is the same cabby outside every morning, 4:30. He drives me 15 minutes to the office as we talk and I have my coffee.”
DC, now judging a judge, brings up the story of a DA saying: “Your honജor, this prisoner committed robbery, forgery, grand larceny and arson. What is your opinionও?” Judge: “Listen, nobody’s perfect.”
Only in New York, kids, only in New York.
