I would think that there will be some sort of moderator who will, well...moderate the event. It'll be surprising to me if Charlize and Michael will just be sitting there answering random questions by themselves. I have to believe that the final questions will be carefully chosen (by people other than the actors) beforehand.

Obviously, I could be wrong but I can't wait to see how it all goes down.

Wow, I was expecting a bigger meltdown from Kaiser. This is a bit underwhelming.
I do agree with her assumption that this thing started way before February.

Notice it took her a while to write that up. She didn't post it on the day the photos were taken. She sounds uncharacteristically diplomatic, like she was trying to keep from writing what she really wanted to. Of course, she couldn't keep from mentioning 'his type' because of course, that's the only reason he's dating her. "She’s his type – petite, dark-skinned, exotic beauty, full lips. That really is his type." Like she's rationalizing it using the 'his type' explanation. I'm thinking that ol' Kaiser needed some time to deal with some salty feelings, which to me, still managed to seep out of the words on the screen. But that's just me. I sometimes see things differently than most.

I was thinking the same thing... there's no way they'll answer all those questions. Especially the ones not relevant to the film or concerning their personal lives. The way I read the event was that there's only a possibility that your question will be chosen and asked of the actors. I'm betting there's a legit person interviewing them with prepared questions e.t.c

Eh, we really don't know the ins and outs of this situation and sounds like Sassy's not talking. I'm not going to judge, especially since I don't know what the common standard is for actor's partners.

It seems that Nicole wasn't supposed to be in Paris, she has a small part in the movie. Only Michael and Steeve were planned for the premiere. According to a staff member Michael asked them to pay Nicole's ticket, as a cast member? as his girlfriend? To be honest I was surprised to see her in Paris, she wasn't the leading actress so I'm not sure the staff member lied.

I don't know why people are focusing on that. He datde an Asian girl, didn't he? And she wasn't dark-skinned, full lips...If we look at all his former girlfriends I'm not sure we will only find black women....

I thought the rumour about him demanding a ticket for Nicole were false? :wtf: That is sooo stingy of him to do so. She was obviously his guest as they both stayed in Paris for almost a week. He should have paid for her ticket.
Stingy men make my blood boil.:rant:

I dunno, is it weird if I don't find it eye-popping that Nicole comped a free ticket to join both men in Paris? Sure, it must have been a bit of pain to coordinate those logistics at the last minute. But being in whole Oscar mode, there probably was some "ask and you shall receive" leeway given to him. Or maybe I'm just being a Fass-spender apologist at the moment :laugh::laugh:.
In any case, Ejm, that means you're getting substantiated tips! :D Congrats again on the nice blog.

^If I remember correctly that tidbit, insider claimed that Michael was demanding flight tickets and hotel fees to be covered for Nicole or he wouldn't come to Paris premiere at all. If that is how things went down, it's hard not to call him stingy.
 
#5,486
Ahhh yes, I didn't quite recall the specifics of the tip other than plane ticket. Being the advertising face of the movie with tickets sold in advance, there's little chance that they wouldn't have complied in that position. I'm more disappointed with the lousy ultimatum argument, if such exchange happened!

Well, I'll have the one dissenting opinion about this rumor here, I guess. And it's possible that Michael felt the same if, indeed, this whole thing is true. It's not like the woman was not in the movie. Not like she was some random girl who he decided he wanted to bring. She was an actress in the movie. Her character was integral in illustrating Brandon's intimacy issues. Why should the studio not pay for her to be there? Perhaps that was his argument. I would wonder the same. I, for one, don't see it as him being stingy when looking at it in this light. Or any other, to be honest. I know that people claim to have inside information but who really has inside information from Michael, himself, as to his thinking and reasoning with regards to this issue?

Besides, by the time these rumors get out into the public (i.e. people who are not directly involved in the matter - and hell, even people who are) the story has changed so many times. It's like a game of 'Operator' for those of you who are familiar with that game.

My thoughts exactly! Over the internet no less, I'm sure the original story has been inevitably altered.

BTW, how excited are you about WonderCon?! And the possibility of seeing Fassy? There are so many cool panels. I really wish I had found out about it sooner or that it had been in SF per usual. Oh wells = ( some other time in life maybe.

LMFAO!! I hope some of your questions will get through. I def want him to answer the track suit question. Do you know if the chat will be available afterwards? I can't watch it tomorrow.

Really? I had no idea. I thought you could only got those from the souvenir shops on Times Sqr.

I know I shouldn’t even get involved in this again and just let you speculate widly about it but I just wanted to insist on the fact that he didn’t make that special request sound like a blackmailing ultimatum at all from what I was told (or else I would be threw with him too) and the whole thing went down through his PR staff anyway. And none of them paid anything so you shouldn’t blame anyone of them for enjoying a bit of their new deserved status and fair hard work reward. It’s very common stuff in this business, really. Everyone takes advantage of everyone when they get the opportunity to do so (God, I already sound bitter). Labelling him as stingy is ridiculous though. Just calm down people.
