Nancy Meyers: An Appreciation

Nancy Meyers is an American film director, producer and screenwriter. Her newest movie “It’s Complicated” starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin is due for release tomorrow in the UK, therefore I decided to make a blog celebrating what Nancy has done so far in the movies . . . mainly for women as that is the target audience of her movies. Making movies that other people probably wouldn’t with older actors in love stories (Somethings Gotta Give) and breaking the typical Hollywood mould, which I think is just brilliant. She is definitely one of Hollywood’s most powerful women.

She’s directed “It’s Complicated” (2009), “The Holiday” (2006), “Something’s Gotta Give” (2003), “What Women Want” (2000) and “The Parent Trap” (1998).

She’s written “It’s Complicted” (2009), “The Holiday” (2006), “Something’s Gotta Give” (2003), “The Parent Trap” (1998), “Father of the Bride Park II” (1995), “I Love Trouble” (1994), “Once Upon a Crime” (1992), “Father of the Bride” (1991), “Baby Boom” (1987) and “Private Benjamin” (1980).

She has also produced most of the movies she has written and directed.

News: Gibson Confirms He Is To Be A Dad

So this is official confirmation . . .

Mel Gibson confirmed his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva is pregnant after he was put in the hot seat by Jay Leno on The Tonight Show.

The actor spoke candidly with the TV host during his guest appearance, fielding questions about the dissolution of his marriage and joking about dating a younger woman in an episode that will air in the U.S. on Monday.

Gibson took the opportunity to clear up reports about his relationship with estranged wife Robyn, who filed for divorce in April – blaming himself for the split.

He told Leno, “My wife and I, our marriage ended three years ago and we’ve been separated ever since then. These things happen. It’s unfortunate, it’s sad, but you know she is an admirable woman – we still got kids together. We’re friends…

“Look, when it’s all said and done, I did a pretty good hatchet job on my marriage myself. I’m to blame. If you’re inclined to judge, put it here.”

Leno then attempted to lighten the mood by asking about Gibson’s new younger lover, joking, “What, is she 17, 18?”

The Mad Max star said the Russian singer is nearer to 40, before quipping, “Now I am going to have two women mad at me!”

Gibson was then prodded about rumours Grigorieva is pregnant with the couple’s first child, to which Gibson confirmed, “This is true. We’re gonna have a child.”

Leno teased about his growing brood, “So that will make 29?”, with Gibson shooting back, “Well, actually eight. I guess I’m Octo-Mel.”

It was Gibson’s 21st TV interview on the programme, which is currently bidding farewell to outgoing host Leno by inviting favourite guests for special appearances this week (begs25May09).

News: Gibson’s Girlfriend Pregnant – Reports

WOW I wonder if this is actually true !!! Cant imagine how his soon to be ex-wife must feel about it !?!?!

Mel Gibson’s girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva is pregnant with the couple’s first child, according to internet reports.

The actor’s wife Robyn filed for divorce last month after 28 years of marriage amid rumours the actor had been dating 39-year-old Grigorieva.

The Lethal Weapon star made their romance public weeks later (begs27Apr09), by taking his lover to a movie premiere in Los Angeles.

According to TMZ.com, Gibson has already told his estranged wife and their children Grigorieva is in her second trimester of pregnancy.

The former couple share one daughter and six sons.

Julia Roberts Learned From Her Leading Men

 

JULIA ROBERTS is grateful to have shared screen time with prank-loving actors RICHARD GERE and MEL GIBSON – because their onset antics gave her early insight into the male psyche.

She tells Allure magazine, “Early on, I worked with Richard Gere and Denzel (Washington) and Dennis Quaid and Mel Gibson, and all these profoundly smart, handsome guys. I was lucky enough to be part of their lives and become friends with them, and it is interesting to understand a solid perspective of the male psyche as a person who’s non-threatening to that guy. Men are so revealing when they’re not trying to woo you, when you’re not intimidated or being flirty, when you’re just interested.”

And the movie star, who is now married to cameraman Danny Moder, admits that developing a platonic bond with the leading men helped her gain confidence around the opposite sex. Roberts was in her twenties when she first appeared alongside Gere in 1990 romantic comedy Pretty Woman, and with Gibson in their 1997 film Conspiracy Theory.
