Miller Wins Back Sedgwick Role Following Law Scandal Actress Sienna Miller has won back her role as pop artist Andy Warhol's muse Edie Sedgwick in forthcoming movie Factory Girl - two months after movie bosses reportedly dumped her from the production in favor of a "bigger role". Earlier this year British newspapers reported Jude Law's fiancee Miller lost the part because she was not famous enough, although the English beauty insisted the film clashed with her role in London play As You Like It. But movie insiders claim Miller's celebrity status has been helped by Law's admission he had an affair with his children's nanny Daisy Wright three months into his seven-month engagement to Miller. The 23-year-old will now play drug-addict Sedgwick in the forthcoming movie, reports British newspaper The Daily Mirror. A movie insider says, "This is not the way Sienna would have liked to have won the role of Edie Sedgwick or a big action role. But she is not going to kick a gift horse. Professionally speaking, being so badly treated by Jude is the best thing that's happened to Sienna. Now she's deemed A-list famous. If you're in the papers you've made the grade and American movie producers want you." imdb

I saw that from Bacall and I thought "crotchety old b-word" (and I'm not talking broad). But only because she's developing a track record of speaking unkindly of younger stars (she said some not very supportive things of Nicole Kidman awhile back, although not as harsh). Then I LOL'ed and gave her a mental high-five. When you're right you're right. She's never held her tongue in the first place and she's too old to have to watch what she says. She was surrounded by truly great actors all her life and she knows what she's talking about, even if it is just a matter of her own opinion.

I think that some writer called Kidman a legend and Bacall said Kidman was too young to be considered a legend.

I'm giving Lauren Bacall a high-five, too! I hate to say this but Tom opened himself up for criticism. He certainly doesn't restrain his opinions.

I like Tom Cruise, enjoy his movies and I think Katie and Tom look cute together. Maybe they are just happy and in love. I wonder if Lauren Bacall even knows who shes talking about. Just my little opinion.

Betty Bacall is one of the sharpest old broads around - I have no doubt she knows who she's talking about.

I saw Ms. Bacall completely rip someone to shreds at a party once for not bringing her the proper amount of ice in her ice water. To be honest, while I want to be on her side on this one, she frightens me to this day.

Can you imagine ever having such a high idea of yourself that you would yell at someone for not the right amount of ice?

'Warm fuzzy' R not her. I just read her updated biography. She has lead a very interesting life and is most definitely her 'own' woman.

Ms. Bacall, I thought the same thing myself at the time it was said.

Never mind the fact that they starting calling her a legend when she was about Nicole's age...

lol - by the time she'd hit Nicole's age (if I'm not mistaken) she'd already buried Bogey.

'Superman' widow Dana Reeve has lung cancer LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Dana Reeve, the widow of "Superman" actor Christopher Reeve, announced on Tuesday that she had been diagnosed with lung cancer. Reeve, 44, who put her own acting career on hold to nurse her husband after he was paralyzed in a riding accident, said in a brief statement she was undergoing treatment and was optimistic about the prognosis. "I have recently been diagnosed with lung cancer, and am currently undergoing treatment," Reeve said. "I have an excellent team of physicians, and we are optimistic about my prognosis." "My family and I deeply appreciate the care and concern of our friends and supporters and trust that everyone understands our need and desire for privacy during this time. I hope before too long to be sharing news of my good health and recovery. <snip> Reeve, who has a teenage son with Christopher Reeve, said she decided to go public with news of her condition ahead of an upcoming tabloid story about her health.

I just read this on CNN -- prayers for strength for both Mrs. Reeve and her son -- he must be sooo scared right now. I feel so bad for them facing yet another epic health challenge.

I so feel for Dana Reeve. She never smoked but now has lung cancer. My mother died two years ago at 65 years old of lung disease and yet had never smoked either. Second hand smoke kills! Prayers to Dana and her family.

My heart goes out to Dana and her son Will and family. They have gone thru so much over the years and it doesn't seem fair for her to have to go thru this now. My prayers are with her and her family.

Shaking Things Up in Broadway's Shtetl NY Times During the last decade or so, Rosie O'Donnell - the former talk-show host and current suburban mom - has been many things to many musicals. She has been a showstopper in "Grease!," an attempted show-saver in "Seussical" and a show producer with "Taboo," the 2003 flop which left a $10 million dent in her bank account. She has been a host of the Tonys, roasted her critics, and generally made herself either beloved or belittled by everybody on Broadway. But next month Ms. O'Donnell will step into a role that not only will give her supporters and detractors plenty to talk about, but also surely ranks as one of the boldest bits of replacement casting in Broadway history. Beginning on Sept. 20 at the Minskoff Theater, Ms. O'Donnell, a brassy Irish-American comedian from Long Island, will play Golde, the long-suffering wife and devoted mother in "Fiddler on the Roof," the 1964 classic of life in the shtetl.[ed: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!] That Ms. O'Donnell will play opposite Harvey Fierstein - whose casting as the daughter-laden dairyman Tevye last winter also raised a few eyebrows among musical-theater traditionalists - makes it truly an Only on Broadway moment, where two openly gay and outspoken actors will play husband and wife in a musical all about the breaking of traditions. [...] oy gevalt! the tsuris begins now. there are other yiddish words to use, but good taste prevents me
