THE WEEK FROM MY VIEW
by James Killough
I rather like Nicole Kidman. As an actress, I mean. I’ve heard varying reports on what she’s like to work with. I try to discount the Hollywood Personal Assistant Network, a.k.a. Nannywood, which naturally labels her a “bitch.” But being hot gossip around Nannywood is rather like negative confirmation: if you’re not a bitch or “total weirdo/asshole” (for the guys) then they don’t talk about you, anyway.
Mcconaughey is the “Cannes revelation” because of his recent career-changing roles.
Indeed, there’s no point being nice to PAs because that won’t make them feel empowered when the network assembles to compare notes; they cannot feel they have the moral high ground over you, cannot one-up each other with who is more of an insider with the gods than whom.
