Steve Martin Reveals the Path to Happiness after Overcoming Anxiety in his 30s
Doc-toring up reality
Priyanka Chopra’s producing the gritty documentary “Born Hungry.”
Directed by Barry Avrich, it follows one child — abandoned, lost, thousands of miles from home, eating from trash bins.
Adopted ultimately by a Canadian couple, he — Sash Simpson — now a chef with his own Toronto restaurant — returns to India armed with only blurry memories to find his lost family.
More true things. “Lethally Blonde.”
Investigation Discovery’s crime series about the dark side of fame.
Holly Madison is host, producer and blond.
Holly: “The industry centers around beauty while you’re exploiting yourself. Lines blur. It gets dangerous. Our stories center on the peril of that lifestyle. It’s come to Hollywood for a career, end up down a bad path.”
Brunettes can also watch this.
Even more real things.
“Steve! (Martin): A Documentary in 2 Pieces” is the name of his new doc on Apple TV+.
He dishes fame, age and surprise at his career.
“Scared out of my mind I launched into the stratosphere. How did I go from anxiety riddled in my 30s to 75 to now really happy?”
Jerry Seinfeld speaks for him. Martin Short bikes with him.
You already may know some of this — but being recently away, I’m catching up.
So, wait. My next bulletin might be about the Civil War.
Honor system
Defendants: Understand his honor has discretionary power to sentence a defendant. So, never insult anyone close to a judge trying your case.
Civil awards can be reduced, prison sentences not often disturbed by NY courts.
So, forget charming jurists. They feel affinity toward their judge. Just letting you know what I know.
Stars align
Forget the moon and sun. We speak now of the Earth.
IMAX doc “Deep Sky,” called “13 billion years in the making,” is about stars narrated by star Michelle Williams, who says: “This shows how stars are born and die. Where’d we come from? How did the universe begin? We alone? It gives answers.”
Blasts off just after Tax Day. If only you can still afford the tickets.
Sticker shock
Hamptons auto haberdashery Aventura Motors has been hustling I.M. Pei’s Mercedes convertible: 1986 420SL, 23,000 miles.
New canvas top, blue metallic over gray leather interior. $44,995.
At that price it should come with an I.M. Pei garage.
Back on the laugh track
Jean Smart. Smart-ass standup comic in “Hacks.”
Season 3, coming next month, has guest stars Carrot Top and Tony Goldwyn.
Smart: “Funny when a man puts on a dress. Not funny when a female does a hobo routine. Funny if a woman jokes about hitting her husband with a frying pan. Not funny if a guy says that about his wife. Today you must be careful of every thing you say or do.
“Comedy is now a third rail.”
Bibles in hotel rooms? When a guy’s alone with a partner in a hotel room — I mean, please. Whatever he’s praying for he’s already got.
For sure mostly in New York, kids, mostly in New York.
