There was a tiny Glee reunion at the Giorgio Armani Privé fashion show during Paris Fashion Week!
Frequent guest star Gwyneth Paltrow and series regular Dianna Agron were both in the front row at the Haute Couture fashion event on Tuesday (January 23) in Paris, France.
More celebs in attendance included Glenn Close and daughter Annie Starke, Sheila Atim, Olga Kurylenko, Juliette Binoche, model Natalia Vodianova, and Broadway theatre owner Jordan Roth.
Dianna played Quinn Fabray on Glee while Gwyneth made several appearances as substitute teacher Holly Holiday. As you probably know, Gwyneth ended up marrying Brad Falchuk, one of the show’s co-creators and executive producers.
Dianna has a new guy in her life and they were spotted packing on the Pda during an outing last month in New York City.

Annie Starke doesn’t want to talk about last Christmas. The host of the freshly minted Magnolia Network show, “The Mountain Kitchen,” admits her family dinner was a disaster.
“I probably had too many drinks in the morning,” Starke tells me, laughing. “I don’t know what happened, but I messed up. I burned the absolute hell out of the ham and it was terrible. I screamed so loud that even my deaf aunt heard me. She can’t hear the giant freight train that goes by her house but she heard me scream. But we were like, ‘Let’s just wolf this down and move on with it.’”
“The Mountain Kitchen” is shot in Bozeman, Montana, on Starke’s mom Glenn Close’s ranch.
“When I was a little kid, I was always fascinated by cooking and food culture. I was a weird kid,” says Starke, an actor who...

From the black leather jacket in “Fatal Attraction” to her zebra-print coat dress from “101 Dalmatians,” Glenn Close has more than 56 costumes and accessories from characters she has played on display in the new exhibit “The Art of the Character” at the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University Bloomington.
Here, Close breaks down some of her iconic looks for Variety.
1. “Fatal Attraction”: “I was so grateful that Ellen Mirojnick was the costumer because I couldn’t have shopped for Alex if my life depended on it. That jacket was fabulous, and I loved the scene where I put acid on his car and I had these dark glasses. A lot of the time, directors don’t like you wearing dark glasses because they want to see your eyes.”
2. “101 Dalmatians”: “Those Cruella costumes were not easy to move in — the heels were high and the furs were heavy.

With no Vanity Fair party to go to after the Oscars — the magazine opted for series of virtual events leading up to the the 93rd Academy Awards instead of throwing its annual after-party — Hollywood found other ways to cap off the industry’s biggest night of the year. The Sunset Tower hotel became a place to be on Sunday following the ceremony at Union Station so much so that paparazzi and autograph seekers lined the entrance to the legendary West Hollywood landmark.
Glenn Close was the first star to arrive shortly after the credits rolled on the Oscars. The eight-time nominee — and very impressive “Da Butt” dancer — arrived solo, but was met by her daughter, “Ratched” actor Annie Starke and her husband Marc Albu, at their poolside table as well as by applause by several fellow diners. Close’s agent, CAA’s Franklin Latt, also joined the group.

Nurse Ratched will be taking patients in just over a week.
To celebrate the news, Netflix on Tuesday unveiled a deadlier trailer for the series, as well as new key art.
From Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, Ratched is a suspenseful drama series that tells the origin story of asylum nurse Mildred Ratched.
"In 1947, Mildred arrives in Northern California to seek employment at a leading psychiatric hospital where new and unsettling experiments have begun on the human mind," reads the official logline.
"On a clandestine mission, Mildred presents herself as the perfect image of what a dedicated nurse should be, but the wheels are always turning and as she begins to infiltrate the mental health care system and those within it, Mildred’s stylish exterior belies a growing darkness that has long been smoldering within, revealing that true monsters are made, not born," it continues.

Sarah Paulson’s nurse Mildred Ratched is here to show you some mercy — in her own special way, that is — in a new trailer for “Ratched,” Ryan Murphy’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” prequel series at Netflix.
In the video, which you can view here and in the video above, we’re introduced to a Nurse Ratched we’ve never seen before, a version of the iconic character before she became that iconic character. She is a kind but peculiar nurse who wants to show mercy, but seems to have a hard time sorting out what is right and wrong to do as a medical professional amongst both her colleagues and her patients — though she firmly believes “there are rights and there are wrongs.”
Mildred’s bedside manner leaves something to be desired, but it appears there could be some deep-seated reason for that particular flaw.

Spoiler alert for a few plot lines and scenes from the first two episodes of “Hollywood.”
Netflix hosted a sneak peek of Ryan Murphy’s “Hollywood,” a seven-episode series for Netflix, on Sunday night at the San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood.
Without giving away too many spoilers, the show takes place in post-wwii Hollywood. David Corenswet stars as Jack, an aspiring actor who becomes a call boy in a prostitution ring run by a slimy gas station owner (Dylan McDermott).
“I would say that it is almost a revisionist history of Hollywood,” Laura Harrier, who plays a Dorothy Dandridge-like character dating an aspiring director (Darren Criss), told Variety. “I love to think about what the world could have looked like had we been able to have representation of women, of people of color, of people of the Lgbtq community at the beginning of Hollywood.

When planning out the weekend rolling into Oscar Sunday, top talent had to make key choices when it came to which Academy Awards pre-event to go to first, how long to stay, what to wear (naturally), how many to hit in a single night and is the venue dog-friendly?
Here’s a look at some of the most coveted invites from the weekend.

Glenn Close brought the most adorable date with her to the Independent Spirit Awards this year: her dog!
Following the actress’ win for Best Female Lead, which she was awarded for her role in The Wife, Close initially made her way to the stage by herself, before giving her pooch Pip — whom she brought along as her date — the signal to join her.
Completely on his own, the obedient dog joined Close near the stairs and proceeded to follow her onstage, waiting by the podium as she gave her speech.

The BAFTA Awards are Feb. 10, with Oscars two weeks later. All the lead actress nominees are terrific, but Glenn Close creates something unique because it’s so subtle. What she does is harder than it looks.
In Sony Classics’ “The Wife,” Close has the least showy role of the contenders, which is usually an awards disadvantage. She doesn’t have any “big scenes,” there’s no hysteria, no scenery-chewing, no calculated “This’ll get ’em!” moments. Instead, she offers a lesson in film acting.
Close told Variety that the challenge and “thrill” were in creating a woman who has so much going on internally; the character, Joan Castleman, has spent her life trying to fade into the background of her writer-husband, but both hit a crisis when he’s awarded a Nobel Prize for literature.

To mark the release of The Wife, out now, we’ve been given a prize bundle containing a signed theatrical poster, a signed book, a Blu-ray copy, and a bookmark to give away.
Joan Castleman (Glenn Close) has spent forty years sacrificing her own talent, dreams and ambitions to support her charismatic husband Joe (Jonathan Pryce) and his stellar literary career. Ignoring infidelities and excuses made in the cause of his art, she has put up with his behaviour with undiminished grace and humour.
The foundations of their marriage have, however, been built upon a set of uneven compromises and Joan has reached a turning point. On the eve of Joe’s Nobel Prize for Literature, the crown jewel rewarding a spectacular body of work, Joan will confront the biggest sacrifice of her life and some long-buried secrets.

Glenn Close, who is enjoying her seventh nomination this morning for portraying the woman behind a world-renown writer in The Wife told Deadline that the role “was different than anything I had ever done before.”
Close has been nominated for four Best Actress and three Best Supporting Actress awards in such roles as Albert Nobbs, Dangerous Liaisons, Fatal Attraction, The Natural, The Big Chill and The World According to Garp — an incredible body of work so far (not to mention her work on stage).
The Wife, distributed by Sony Classics, was shot well before the #MeToo movement took hold – timing was everything as the story fits right in with the narrative of women finding their voices.

The Critics' Choice Awards were full of interesting twists and turns on Sunday night. After Amy Adams and Patricia Arquette both took home best actress in a movie made for TV or limited series, there was yet another tie for best actress. Glenn Close took home the award for The Wife, while Lady Gaga was awarded for her performance in A Star Is Born. Both of the actresses gave incredibly moving speeches, with Close thanking her daughter, Annie Starke, who played a younger version of her character in the film, and Gaga thanking her costar Bradley Cooper. As if their speeches weren't enough to make us burst into tears, the two shared a sweet moment as they embraced and walked off the stage together.

Exclusive: Sony Pictures Classics is expanding the theater count of its Glenn Close-starring drama The Wife this weekend, boosting it by more than 400 screens nationally to ramp up its profile with awards season in full swing.
Close has already been nominated for Best Actress awards from the Gothams and the Spirit Awards, and has received honorary kudos from awards-season staple festivals Santa Barbara and Palm Springs as her Oscar buzz continues to grow. She stars opposite Jonathan Pryce in the timely drama, about a woman, long in the shadow of a powerful man, who stands up for herself and her self-worth.

She’s become a household name by playing a wide variety of roles, from Fatal Attraction’s psycho homewrecker to a long-subservient spouse in her new film, The Wife. And Glenn Close’s achievements are even more impressive considering she grew up as part of a cult in which, she said, according to The Daily Mail, "everybody was supposed to say the same things and act the same way." When Glenn was seven, her parents — pioneering surgeon William Close and former socialite Bettine Moore — forced their family to join the Moral Re-Armament (Mra), a right-wing religious group that was "devastating to a child," said Glenn. "It meant that at a time when you're trying to figure out who you are, you're being told instead who you're supposed to be." Glenn and her father, Dr. William.

Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce make such a convincing onscreen couple, it’s hard to believe that their first time working together is in director Björn Runge’s “The Wife,” opening this week.
Both broke into Hollywood about the same time; Close with her Oscar-nominated film debut in 1982’s “The World According to Garp” and Pryce as the embodiment of evil in 1983’s “Something Wicked This Way Comes.” Both have enjoyed heralded stage careers, scooping up Tony Awards — three for Close, two for Pryce.
Based on a novel by Meg Wolitzer, “The Wife” is an intimate and searing portrait of a long-term marriage in all its secrets and compromises. The pair portray Joan and Joe Castleman, who are forced to confront some tough truths when Joe is awarded a Nobel Prize for his latest novel.

Sony Pictures Classics expects summer blockbuster fatigue to help its weekend newcomer The Wife starring Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce, opening New York and Los Angeles Friday. The film is one of a fairly busy slate of limited release newcomers, perhaps hinting at another busy fall as awards season looms. Roadside Attractions/Lionsgate is bowing Juliet, Naked Friday in NYC and L.A., starring Rose Byrne, Ethan Hawke and Chris O’Dowd. Sundance favorite We The Animals by Jeremiah Zagar opens Friday in New York en route to a 100-plus location count by end of September, via The Orchard. Music Box Films is launching French-language Memoir Of War based on the book by Marguerite Duras. And actor Peter Facinelli is making his directorial debut with comedy Breaking & Exiting starring Milo Gibson and Jordan Hinson, making its way to select locations in a day and date roll out via Freestyle Digital Media.

So far, 2018 has not particularly released a whole lot of contenders in the acting categories. This week, a possibility emerges when The Wife hits theaters. A showcase for Glenn Close, the film actually has designs on finally winning her an Academy Award. Obviously, for Close to take Best Actress at the Oscars, she’ll have to become the one to beat during the precursor season. More on that later, but this movie does at least suggest that she’ll be in play this year. If the product on the whole is only good, Close on her own is rather great. She’s rarely been better. The film is a drama, one rooted in literature. The simple IMDb synopsis is as follows: “A wife questions her life choices as she travels to Stockholm with her husband, where he is slated to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature.” The wife in question...

In Swedish director Bjorn Runge’s film version of the 2003 Meg Wolitzer novel, the brilliant Glenn Close plays Joan Castleman, the wife of celebrated author Joe Castleman (Jonathan Pryce), who’s just won the Nobel Prize for literature. For him, the win is better than sex, which the lusty lion enjoys quite a lot even (and especially) outside the bedroom he shares with his wife. For her, however, the triumph sparks a crisis of identity and conscience that builds as the couple arrives in Stockholm. Adoration will be lavished on Joe; meanwhile,...

Though Glenn Close was thrilled to have daughter Annie Starke starring in a film with her in Scotland last year, the actress made herself scarce when it was Annie's turn in front of the camera. "I decided the best thing would be for me to get out of town," Glenn shared with a laugh. "I didn't want Annie to think she had a mother who hovers around," she told a reporter for The Golden Globes. In The Wife, about a woman who sacrifices her own writing career for the sake of her husband's, Glenn and Annie play the same titular character at different ages, so it was easy to give each other professional space. Off camera, though, it’s a whole different story. Glenn and Annie at the premiere of 'The Wife.'

A drama starring Glenn Close as a female writer who fights to make her previously suppressed voice heard reads like a dream project for women in the #MeToo era. But at the Los Angeles premiere of “The Wife,” the cast and filmmakers expressed hope that men, too, see the appeal of female-centric projects.
“It took 14 years because back in 2004, the studios didn’t want to do the film starring women, and there were no male American stars who would play the second lead to a woman,” said screenwriter Jane Anderson. “It took the wonderful Jonathan Pryce, who’s a Brit and a theater actor, to say, ‘Yeah, this is a great role! And let me go play with Glenn.’ I was battling male egos at every turn back then, and I thought this project was dead many times over, and here we are.”

Last year Sony Pictures Classics earned four Oscar nominations for “Call Me By Your Name,” with a win for screenwriter James Ivory and picked up the Foreign Language Feature award for Chile’s “A Fantastic Woman.” This year the specialized film division of Sony could do even better with its slate of celebrated fare from award-winning directors and talent.
Leading the way is Glenn Close in Björn Runge‘s acclaimed character study “The Wife.” The veteran actress has won three Emmys and three Tonys but has lost all six of her Oscar bids to date. But nomination number seven could prove to be the lucky one. The reviews for her performance as a dutiful spouse who questions her life at a key moment have been superlative. The Guardian calls her “unreadably brilliant” and proclaims the film “arguably her best performance ever.” Indiewire calls her “exquisite.” And Variety states simply “Glenn Close is a tremendous actress.

Sony Pictures Classics has released the trailer for “The Wife,” Björn Runge’s adaptation of the Meg Wolitzer novel of the same name. Glenn Close stars as the title character, with Jonathan Pryce playing her husband; he’s a revered author, while she’s relegated to simply being, well, the wife. “It was probably one of the trickiest roles I’ve ever confronted,” Close recently told Vanity Fair. “I think it’s a situation that every woman in the audience can relate to, whether they’re of younger generations or not.”
At the beginning of the trailer, Pryce is told he’s been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, an honor both he and Joan have apparently been happily anticipating for some time. In addition to bringing the couple to Sweden, the occasion reminds Close of her early years as a writer whose own aspirations took a backseat to those of her husband.

After actor Anton Yelchin passed away in June of last year, he left behind a substantial body of work as well as a handful of posthumous releases. He stars in two films that will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival — Cory Finley’s “Thoroughbred” and Mark Palansky’s “Rememory” — but he appears in another film to be released this April: “We Don’t Belong Here,” a family thriller about the dark secrets buried deep underneath dysfunction.

Close at the Tonys in June
Glenn Close is not going to be ignored. Anymore. Six years after Albert Nobbs she has signed on for a new part. It’s not a supporting authority figure (Guardians of the Galaxy) or an uncredited cameo (Warcraft) -she’s playing the title character! The film is The Wife in which Close will play Joan, a woman who gave up her own literary ambitions to support her successful novelist husband. On the eve of him receiving the Nobel Prize for literature she has a crisis of faith in him and in their marriage and starts re-examining her choices.
The film was first announced last February but it seems that whatever kinks they had then, have been smoothed out and shooting stars in a couple of weeks. The film is helmed by Swedish director Björn Runge and adapted by Jane Anderson (Olive Kitteridge) from Meg Wolitzer’s novel.

Rumer Willis celebrated her 24th birthday last Thursday (16.08.12) without her mother Demi Moore. The actress was treated to a meal at Abe & Arthur's in New York's Meatpacking District with her sisters Tallulah and Scout, and her father Bruce Willis joined them halfway through the meal. However, Rumer's mother Demi Moore was noticeably absent from the celebrations, fuelling rumours of a rift. An eye witness told the New York Post newspaper: 'He (Bruce) helped them sing 'Happy Birthday' to Rumer and blow out the candles.' The 'Die Hard' actor said his goodbyes to the girls as they headed downstairs to party the night away at Sl lounge. They were joined by Rumer's roommate Annie Starke - who...

There are five contenders for the 2012 Academy Award for Best Actress, but only two that could ever be mistaken for one another: Glenn Close and Meryl Streep. And while the roles that they play -- Close for a woman disguised as a man in "Albert Nobbs" and Streep as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady" -- are as different as servants and their masters, the two actresses have much in common.
The last time they went head to head was in 1989, with Streep for the baby-killing drama "A Cry in the Dark" and Close for her delicious role as Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil in "Dangerous Liaisons." (Neither won. That honor went to Jodie Foster for "The Accused.")
A similar face-off had occurred just the year before, when Close and Streep were nominated for "Fatal Attraction" and "Ironweed," respectively; but the Oscar went to Cher, for "Moonstruck."

Talk about a Close call. As Demi Moore undergoes an intensive rehab effort at Cirque Lodge in Utah, E! News has confirmed more details about the night she was rushed to the hospital. A Demi family source says that actress Annie Starke, the daughter of Glenn Close, was partying at the Moore home on Jan. 23 and was among the group of people who can be heard on the 911 call assisting Demi after her collapse. So why was Starke, 21, partying with Moore, 49? The actress is a close friend of Rumer Willis, who had invited her to the birthday party for film exec Heather Parry. Starke and Rumer, 23, have been spotted several times together since Demi's hospitalization, including at a SAG Awards...

Rumer Willis spent a good chunk of the weekend hitting the town with Glenn Close. But not really in the way she has been known to do with her mom, Demi Moore. Willis and the Albert Nobbs Oscar nominee not only had dinner together on Saturday night in West Hollywood, but they were also spotted last night at People magazine's SAG Awards after party and later at Chateau Marmont. Turns out that... Willis is pals with Close's daughter, Annie Starke, who was also with them for the festivities. The two became close last year when they did a month-long run costarring in the Off-Broadway hit, Love, Loss, and What I Wore, in New York City. Back in October, Starke tweeted that...

At least one of Demi Moore's daughters felt well enough to make it to theScreen Actors' Guild Awards after party, just days after her mother was rushed to hospital and treated for some kind of adverse drug reaction.
Rumer Willis was spotted sneaking into the official after party outside the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday night,reports Us Weekly.
Willis was trying to keep "a crazy low profile," says a source who claims "she definitely didn't want anyone to see her." But for someone wanting to stay out of the spotlight it seems strange the 23-year-old would show up to the party at all -- especially since it's been widely speculated that Rumer was present when Demi Moore started convulsing last Monday.

Rumer Willis isn't letting family drama slow her down. Following Demi Moore's hospitalization last week and decision to seek professional treatment for exhaustion, her daughter - and frequent party companion - was in full social mode, enjoying a busy weekend out and about in Los Angeles. On Saturday night, Willis, 23 - who was apparently on hand when Moore's friends called 911 after the actress had an apparent seizure - stepped out for dinner at Comme Ça, joined by her friend Annie Starke, Annie's mother Glenn Close and Close's husband David Shaw.

The new trailer for Roadside Attractions and director Rodrigo Garcia's drama "Albert Nobbs" is now online. Glenn Close is Albert Nobbs, a woman dressed as a man, trying to fit in unrecognised, in a male dominated 19th Century Irish business. Judging from the trailer and early reaction to the film, I would hardly be surprised to see Glenn Close up for acting gongs over the upcoming awards season. The January release also stars Mia Wasikowska, Aaron Johnson, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Brendan Gleeson, Maria Doyle Kennedy, John Light, Janet McTeer, Pauline Collins, Mark Williams, Brenda Fricker, Bronagh Gallagher, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Emerald Fennell, Annie Starke and Serena Brabazon.Watch the powerful debut trailer for "Albert Nobbs" below;"Albert Nobbs" is on limited release across...
