I spent my morning at the Tony Awards nominations in New York. While I have covered the red carpet before, it is the first time I had the opportunity to attention the early morning announcements. Sutton Foster and Jesse Tyler Ferguson hosted the nominations and they were hilarious together.
There were lots of interesting snubs from Bette Midler to Alan Cumming to Lilla Crawford, but there were lots of reasons to celebrate as well. Kinky Boots and Matilda the Musical will be battling it out for Best Musical while Tom Hanks has garnered his first Tony nomination for Lucky Guy written by his beloved friend, Nora Ephron. Ephron passed away last June after complications from Pneumonia and Leukemia.
See how all the action went down on Tuesday morning with my coverage for Starpulse:
A Christmas picture with Pluto at Disneyland for the holidays.
It's Christmas Eve, but it's still Media Mondays and I here to help you with your holiday movie choices. If you are headed with the movies with your parents, you have 3 family holiday movie choices this year and I've seen them all! Here is the order you should see these in:
My 1st Choice: The Guilt Trip
Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen have great mother/son chemistry and the crazy scenarios they get into during their cross-country trip are exactly the same situations you get into with your own mother. They nag, they love, and they always have a solution to every problem. I was lucky enough to bring my own mom to the press junket. See our interview with Barbra and Seth for iVillage.
My 2nd Choice: Parental Guidance
Well, I am currently embargoed until Christmas Day from talking about this, but here is what I will say...Billy Crystal and Bette Midler are great together in this family comedy.
My 3rd Choice: This is 40
Sigh. I wanted to love this movie, but I couldn't. It's long, it's shrill, and I feel like Judd Apatow is getting a little lazy in his filmmaking. I love, love, love Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd has been a favorite of mine since Clueless. I just wish this was a better movie. You've been warned.
I did interview Paul and Leslie and this was a pretty hilarious moment...Paul tells me, "At 40, you are one day closer to death." Okay, thanks for the uplifting advice! Watch the interview here.
