The daily dish... a spicy serving of celebrity news
Party of five ...
A week after the birth of their twin daughters, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick debuted the babies in an official family photo.
It’s the first glimpse of Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick and Tabitha Hodge Broderick, born June 22 at an Ohio hospital to a surrogate mother. Big brother James Wilkie is 6 years old.
The photo below was taken Monday in New York.
Parker, 44, and Broderick, 47, follow the lead of other celebrity parents who have publicly released family photos in an effort to stave off the paparazzi.
The couple did not profit from the photo, whereas, in recent years, celebrities have brokered million-dollar deals with celebrity magazines.
Team shot…
The chief of the nation’s second-largest school district is fuming over comedian Sacha Baron Cohen’s magazine photo shoot with high school football players.
Los Angeles Superintendent RamonCortines isn’t amused by the GQ magazine photos shot at Birmingham High School that feature the “Borat” star in his new incarnation as gay Austrian fashionista “Bruno.” The GQ cover story features pictures of
Baron Cohen wearing shoulder pads, tight red shorts, an athletic cup and little else as he poses with football players at the school in the San Fernando Valley.
Cortines says the district has “allowed our students to be used.”
Music icon…
Kris Kristofferson will be honored by BMI as a music icon during the music licensing organization’s country awards in Nashville on Nov. 10.
BMI announced the selection Tuesday. The group gives the honor to songwriters and artists who have had a “unique and indelible” influence on generations of music makers.
Past honorees include Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, the Bee Gees, James Brown and Crosby, Stills&Nash.
Off to Columbia…
Where does a brilliant student go after the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? “Harry Potter” star Emma Watson, for one, is heading to Columbia University in the fall.
“I’m so excited. Living in London, it’s hard to be anonymous. But hopefully, on a campus somewhere, I’ll fade into the background a bit,” Watson tells Elle.
Watson, 19, can at least afford the hefty Ivy League price tag. London’s Daily Mail says Watson has earned more than $16.5 million for playing Hermione
Granger in the Potter flicks.
Watson says she may, or may not, return to acting after college.
Broadway bound…
Jude Law will play Shakespeare’s melancholy Dane on Broadway this fall.
The 36-year-old British actor will star in “Hamlet,” opening Oct. 6 at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York for a 12-week engagement.
The critically acclaimed production comes from London’s Donmar Warehouse. Law will be joined by the rest of the British cast under the direction of Michael Grandage.
It will be Law’s first Broadway appearance since 1995, when he appeared in “Indiscretions” with Kathleen Turner, Cynthia Nixon, Roger Rees and Eileen Atkins.
