At Bessie Awards, dancers gather to celebrate pandemic art

<p>Beanie Feldstein is allergic to nearly everything — cats, dairy, fragrances, dust. “I basically live in a bubble,” she said. The sticks and sprays that help actors to cry on cue? She is allergic to those, too. So earlier this year, shooting 16-hour days on a set made to look like a Ritz-Carlton suite, she made herself cry in take after take, with no artificial tears to help her.</p>

<p>“I just had to like, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig and put myself there,” Feldstein, 28, said on a recent afternoon. “I wouldn’t be able to sit with myself at the end of the day if I didn’t.”</p>

<p>Those tears air Tuesday in “Man Handled,” the sixth episode of the FX limited series “Impeachment: American Crime Story,” in which Feldstein stars as White House intern Monica Lewinsky.</p>

<p>“Man Handled” re-creates an FBI operation nicknamed “Prom Night” because, as one agent jokes, it is hours alone with a girl in a hotel room. In the episode, an all-male cadre of agents ambush Feldstein’s Lewinsky, still in her sweaty workout clothes, and confine her to the suite, threatening her with imprisonment if she does not cooperate with the special counsel’s investigation of then-President Bill Clinton.</p>

<p>The character spends most of the episode in tears or hysterics, a stark, wispy-banged departure from the effervescent women Feldstein has played in the movies “Ladybird” and “Booksmart” and on Broadway in “Hello, Dolly!”. Fanny Brice in “Funny Girl,” a dream role that Feldstein will play in the Broadway revival next spring, is typecasting for her. But even though she and Lewinsky are both Jewish brunettes with Los Angeles roots and a love of show tunes, an anguished character like Lewinsky was not.</p>

<p>“She’s an incredibly sunny individual,” Sarah Paulson, her “Impeachment” co-star, said of Feldstein. “That’s not to say she lacks gravitas, because nothing could be further from the truth. But she’s got a brightness to her.”</p>

<p>In “Man Handled,” that brightness is largely dimmed. Lewinsky has a few moments of moxie, as when she stealthily places a call to the president’s secretary, but mostly she is at the mercy of agents who bully and deceive her. Throughout “Impeachment” but never more so than in this week’s episode, Feldstein abandons herself to the role — heart, soul, tear ducts.</p>

<p>“I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it, honestly,” she said with the absolute sincerity with which she says most things. “It was the most tremendous undertaking.”</p>

<p>We had met at an outdoor cafe in a pocket park in New York on a blazing September day. Feldstein, dressed in a leopard print maxi dress and blinding white Reeboks, did not eat or drink anything — those allergies — and she wore her mask the whole time, even outdoors. “I’m still very, very, very COVID scared,” she said.</p>

<p>Until “Impeachment,” Feldstein’s career — which also includes a starring turn in the coming-of-age-as-a-rock-critic movie “How to Build a Girl” and a season-long arc on the vampire comedy “What We Do in the Shadows” — has encompassed only comic roles. But two years ago, uber-producer Ryan Murphy phoned and offered her the part of Lewinsky.</p>

<p>Feldstein had been a child during Clinton’s presidency; she remembered little about the impeachment itself. But she agreed immediately and threw herself into research — primarily Andrew Morton’s authorized biography of Lewinsky and Linda Tripp’s illegal recordings, even though listening to those made her feel, she said, very, very icky.</p>

<p>Ultimately, Feldstein decided that her performance would rest less on physical or vocal impersonation than on something more ephemeral. “My goal was to just be emotionally true to what she was feeling at every moment,” she said.</p>

<p>Murphy, who directed the episode, would ask her again and again if she felt OK, if she could manage another take. Lewinsky is a producer of the show, and Feldstein, who had met her for tea and texted with her often, felt an overwhelming responsibility to tell her story as fully and authentically as she could. “All I did every single day was think about honoring her,” she said.</p>

<p>So when Murphy asked for another take, Feldstein dried her eyes and stepped into her light. “I was like, it’s for Monica, of course I’m going to go again,’ ” she said.</p>

<p>Colin Hanks, who starred opposite Feldstein in “Man Handled,” marveled at her intensity, hour after hour, take after take.</p>

<p>“People think that acting is easy, and a lot of times it is,” Hanks said, speaking by telephone. “But the stuff that she was doing, man, I don’t know many people that could withstand that kind of emotional assault.”</p>

<p>Mira Sorvino, who plays Lewinsky’s mother in the episode, praised her ability to stay in the moment during “Man Handled,” even when those moments were harrowing. “She was always there emotionally,” Sorvino said, speaking by telephone. “That was a heavy weight for Beanie to carry, and she carried it magnificently.”</p>

<p>Feldstein’s natural buoyancy ensured she never stayed weighted down for long. Paulson, who plays Tripp, spoke enviously about how lightly Feldstein held herself when the cameras were finally off.</p>

<p>“It was actually a wild learning experience to just think, ‘Wow, you can be really excellent at your job and not want to tear your skin off every five seconds,’ ” Paulson said. (She also said that while she typically wears character-appropriate perfume for each role, she left it off for this one. She did not want to send Feldstein to the hospital.)</p>

<p>But months later, Feldstein has not let go of the experience. Not entirely.</p>

<p>“It remains the most tremendous responsibility I think I will ever have,” she said. “Because I know I’ll play real people again. I’m about to play Fanny Brice. But there’s nothing like this.”</p>

Cardi B celebrated her birthday with the who's who of the entertainment world and among the starry guest list was none other than colleague Lizzo. Lizzo turned all eyes towards her as she walked towards Cardi B’s 29th birthday party in a sheer purple dress. Lizzo bares it all in the sheer mesh dress. The birthday party had a dancehall theme and was organised at LA River Studios. Among the many bold outfits she has debuted before, this takes the cake for being the most wild. Lizzo wore just briefs and n*pple pasties beneath a sheer, sparkly purple gown that showed more than it hid.

<p>This year started with some crazy news from Hollywood after actor Armie Hammer was accused&nbsp;of&nbsp;having raped women and indulged in weird sexual fantasies. As Armie checked into rehab for drug, alcohol and sex issues -- the world spoke of how twisted people could be in real life.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, his ‘Call Me By Your Name’ co-star Timothee Chalamet has opened up about these sexual assault allegations against Armie without really saying much. In a new interview, Timothee said that he won’t give a “partial response”. He said, "I totally get why you're asking that. But it's a question worthy of a larger conversation, and I don't want to give you a partial response."</p>

<p>Armie Hammer was accused of rape back in March. One of his former partners, Effie, alleged that he "mentally, emotionally and sexually" abused her during a four-year on/off relationship. At that time, he was still married to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-armie-hammers-ex-wife-shocked-at-sex-cannibalism-chats-he-is-a-monster-356394">Elizabeth Chambers.</a> She went on to say that the abuse became rape in Aoril 2017 when she was still 20-years-old.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/britney-spears-to-armie-hammer-celebs-who-got-mired-in-controversies-in-2021-395359">Britney Spears to Armie Hammer: Celebs who got mired in controversies in 2021</a></p>

<p>It is not available in China but Netflix's global sensation Squid Game has already built up a huge following in the country, with fans dodging strict internet controls to stream the show and snapping up merchandise such as its unique outfits.</p>

<p>The dystopian South Korean thriller has become the most popular Netflix series launch ever, the streaming giant said Tuesday, but it is unlikely to pass China's censors because of its brutally violent content.</p>

<p>Yet it is already a hit in cities such as Shanghai, where a crowd formed Tuesday at an eatery selling dalgona -- the crisp sugar candy featured in one episode -- with customers gathering at its Squid Game-themed sign to take photos.</p>

<p>After buying the candy, Li and his friend filmed their attempt at a challenge from the show, where contestants try to cut shapes from the snack without cracking it.</p>

<p>Squid Game features a group of society's most marginalised and indebted people who are forced to compete in a series of children's games until all participants are dead except one. The "winner" gets $38 million.</p>

<p>As the show became an international hit, China's ever-nimble manufacturers raced to tap into demand, with products -- including the bright pink uniforms and eerie masks worn by anonymous guards -- popping up across the giant online shopping platform Taobao.</p>

<p>Vendor Peng Xiuyang told AFP his sales had spiked by around 30 percent thanks to demand for Squid Game merchandise.</p>

<p>He had never heard of the show when a customer asked last month if he sold the masks -- a plain black full-faced covering printed with squares, triangles or circles.</p>

<p>But now vendors like him and plastics manufacturers in the eastern hub of Yiwu are all rushing to meet demand -- from both domestic and international buyers.</p>

<p>James Bond actor Daniel Craig helped a charity founded by three fathers who lost their daughters to suicide. The actor made a donation of $13,611 to the charity dedicated to prevent suicides in England.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The charity is founded by three men -- Andy Airey, Mike Palmer and Tim Owen who are known famously as Three Men Walking. They founded the charity in the memory of their daughters Sophie, Beth and Emily in order to raise money for Papyrus, a British charity organisation devoted to suicide prevention.</p>

<p>In an interview, Airey said, “We found out about it yesterday morning, as Mike and Tim were travelling up to Cumbria — we were WhatsApping each other in a state of surprise. By the time they’d arrived, we’d got a note saying Daniel Craig was happy to have his name attached to it, which was just fantastic — it’s a very generous donation, but to actually have the person who’s the single most famous actor in the world at the moment being happy to help was just brilliant.”</p>
