The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announced the recipients for the 45th Kennedy Center Honors on Thursday. Popular American actor and filmmaker George Clooney and singer Gladys Knight are part of the list of recipients in the 2022 edition of the award. The Kennedy Center Honors are presented by the Board of Trustees of the Kennedy Center, who will be giving out the awards for the 45th edition in December this year. Also Read: ESPY Awards: Hollywood, sports stars add glamour at Dolby Theatre, Los Angeles,The center usually honors only five personalities every year for influencing American culture with arts. However, it is not unusual for groups, such as bands to receive the honors. In 2019, disco-funk musical band Earth, Wind & Fire was one of the recipients whereas popular children’s television show Sesame Street was given the honor in the same year. One of the greatest American bands of all-time, Led Zeppelin was recipient to the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012 and The Eagles received the award in 2016. President of the organization, Deborah F. Rutter recently said in an interview that her group has worked hard to include all performing arts. She also mentioned Grant's music, which is being presented as a distinct genre to the honors in 2022. Other recipients to the honor in the 45th edition are pop singer Amy Grant, venerable gospel, Pulitzer Prize winning composer Tania Leon and the rock band U2. Following their inclusion in the recipients’ list, U2 released a statement saying they consider the US as a home away from home. In December 1980, we made our first trip across the Atlantic to America, the statement said. ,We had big dreams then, fueled in part by the commonly held belief at home that America smiles on Ireland. And it turned out to be true, yet again. But even in the wilder thoughts, we never imagined that 40 years on, we would be invited back to receive one of the nation's greatest honors. It has been a four-decade love affair with the country and its people, its artists, and culture, it added. Also Read: In final hearing, Jan 6 panel's investigation into Trump's 187 minutes,Tania Leon also released a statement after she was inducted in the list of recipients. Little did I imagine when studying in La Habana that life was going to grace me with such a distinction! Leon said. ,My first thoughts went to my ancestors: they believed in my dreams, and what we lacked in material wealth, they made up for in spirit, encouragement, and support. The Kennedy Honors aims to raise money for the Kennedy Center, along with recognizing talent. The ceremony is scheduled to be held on December 4 and will be telecasted on CBS and streamed on Paramount +.

George Clooney's Batman suit, heavily mocked yet a classic costume from Joel Schumacher's 1997 film 'Batman & Robin,' is up for bidding at Heritage Auctions. As per Heritage Auctions, Clooney’s Batman suit is “constructed of cast foam latex, vinyl, resin components, leather, and other mixed media elements all expertly painted, finished and assembled on a life-size pose-able mannequin with a hyper-realistic George Clooney head with prosthetic grade false eyes. Costume pieces include hero signature cowl, full-length superhero cape with 2-cape clips, muscle tunic with signature ‘Batman’ icon on the chest, muscled tights, peaked and finned gauntlet gloves, and knee-high character boots.”,The Batman nipple suit is one of several props from the Caped Crusader's film career that will be auctioned off. Jim Carrey's Riddler walking cane from 'Batman Forever' is also on the auction block (with an opening bid of $8,000), as is Jack Nicholson's iconic purple Joker suit from Tim Burton's original 'Batman' (with an opening bid of $65,000). Also Read| Christian Bale reveals what it'll take for him to be Batman again,The Batsuit in 'Batman and Robin' film was inspired by 'Batman Forever' and featured a metallic finish as well as arm fins. The bat chest emblem lacked the yellow colouring and was only a small oval in size. Magnets, a grapple gun, bat bombs, a laser, and a buzzsaw were among the tools included in the suit's utility belt. The suit's most notable feature, which many people criticise, is protruding nipples. Jose Fernandez, costume designer for 'Batman & Robin,' detailed the strong design decision to highlight Batman's nipples, first in the 1995 film 'Batman Forever,' starring Val Kilmer, and even more intensified for the 1997 sequel 'Batman & Robin,' starring George Clooney and Chris O'Donnell as the titular Gotham heroes. Also Read| Stranger Things Season 4: Iron Maiden agrees with Eddie; 'this is music',Talking about the suit in an interview with Mel Magazine, Fernandez said - “With Val Kilmer’s suit in Batman Forever, the nipples were one of those things that I added, it wasn’t fetish to me, it was more informed by Roman armour-like Centurions. And, in the comic books, the characters always looked like they were naked with spray paint on them, it was all about anatomy, and I like to push anatomy. I don’t know exactly where my head was back in the day, but that’s what I remember. And so, I added the nipples. I had no idea there was going to end up being all this buzz about it.”,Clooney has long been vocal about his dislike for the infamous costume, according to Variety, the 'One Fine Day' star stated in an interview- “It was a difficult film to be good in. With hindsight, it’s easy to look back at this and go, woah, that was really shit and I was really bad in it. Also Read| 5 interesting facts about guitar-hero Carlos Santana,Over the years, the suit has received a lot of slack, first Batman's director Tim Burton slammed studio Warner Bros. for approving the nipple suit stating- “Back then they went the other way. That’s the funny thing about it. But then I was like, ‘Wait a minute. Okay. Hold on a second here. You complain about me, I’m too weird, I’m too dark, and then you put nipples on the costume? Go fuck yourself.’ Seriously. So yeah, I think that’s why I didn’t end up [doing a third film.]”

Two tickets to paradise, please. ,Hollywood megastars Julia Roberts and George Clooney have teamed up to star opposite one another in a romantic comedy flick which has a fun twist- The two will be nowhere close to being a happy couple in the film. ,“Worst 19 years of my life,” Clooney’s character says in the teaser as he describes his relationship with his ex-wife, who is played by Roberts. ,“We were only married for five,” she snaps back and adds, “I’m counting the recovery.”,Clooney and Roberts are returning to the romantic comedy genre with Universal’s ‘Ticket to Paradise’, which revolves around a divorced pair who reunites in Bali in order to stop their daughter, who is head over heels in love with a man, from repeating the same romantic mistake they made 25 years ago. ,“I haven’t done a romantic comedy really since [1996’s] One Fine Day,” Clooney told Deadline earlier this year. Also Read: George Clooney says he declined an ad offer worth $35M 'for one day's work', “I’ve done some sort of snarky ones, you know, and in this one, Julia and I just get to be mean to each other in the funniest way. … It’s just a really fun, fun, fun cast all the way around,” he added. On the other hand, Roberts recently spoke to Vanity Fair about returning to the romcom genre after two decades. ,“People sometimes misconstrue the amount of time that’s gone by that I haven’t done a romantic comedy as my not wanting to do one,” she said. ,Also Read: Watergate 50th Anniversary: Best movies to watch on the scandal, “If I had read something that I thought was that Notting Hill level of writing or My Best Friend’s Wedding level of madcap fun, I would do it. They didn’t exist until this movie that I just did that Ol Parker wrote and directed,” she continued. Talking about 'Ticket to Paradise', Roberts said that she knew the project would “only [work] if it’s George Clooney. Lo and behold, George felt it only worked with me.

If you're ever thirsty on Long Island, look for a dive bar called The Dickens. It's a nice place, from all accounts. There are books everywhere, a group of sweet, lovable locals and a bartender who is a good soul with a tough exterior. The barflies somehow know when the Magna Carta was signed — 1215, silly! — and will line up to buy you a round of gin martinis if you get into Yale. Also Read:Golden Globe nominations 2022: Snoop Dogg mispronounces Ben Affleck's name,Not sounding typical? Welcome to The Tender Bar, a coming-of-age film based on a real life that doesn't feel entirely real. It's a George Clooney-directed, Ben Affleck-starring celebration of men set in the '70s and '80s that uses a charmed life to say remarkably little. The Tender Bar is the story of JR — first starring Daniel Ranieri as an 11-year-old and then Tye Sheridan as a young man — whose father left him and his mom when he was a kid and yet still haunts his son as a distant voice — he's a DJ on the radio. A school psychologist theorizes that JR, whose very name, Junior, is derivative of a missing parent, has no identity. But a community of men — his uncle Charlie (Affleck), his crabby grandfather (Christopher Lloyd), his Yale friends and even a priest on a commuter rail — fill the void. They give JR advice, steer him and go to functions with him. The message is: Guys got this. If films could smell, this one would reek of cologne, cigars and leather. Also Read: Ben Affleck's film 'Deep Water' pulled from theatrical release slate,JR's mom — a wonderful Lily Rabe — is not much help, with only one real wish: that her son go to Yale and be a lawyer. It largely falls on uncle Charlie to teach JR the so-called Manly Sciences — take care of your mother, get a car, don't hit women, save some cash in your wallet for emergencies and learn to change a tire, among them. Affleck is getting award-season buzz but this role is tailor-made for him, equal parts roguishly cool, unflashy literary and bluntly honest. His Charlie is like that gruff but sweet guy from Good Will Hunting all grown up and running a bar, having traded blue-collar Boston for blue-collar Long Island. ,The screenplay by William Monahan is based on the best-selling memoir of the same name by J.R. Moehringer. It's got some great lines — If you suck at writing, that's when you become a journalist, among them — but there is a meandering quality to the film, a lack of sharpness. ,That's partly because JR gets everything he seeks: Yale, a job at The New York Times, a career as a writer and even for a while, that unattainable rich girl. Whenever JR leaves the bar, the film fades, signaling that the focus should be tighter on Charlie and his nephew. There are intriguing touches of the way it might have gone, especially when JR and Charlie discuss how the narrative itself is going or can be shaped, like meta-level crafting. After a surprising turn in JR's career, Charlie offers: You can inflate it. And later he suggests a plot twist: If there's gonna be any structure, you know what you have to do. That means hunting down dad, of course. The Tender Bar is a gentle, oddly crafted but loving look at men, fueled by a soundtrack of classics like Paul Simon's 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover and Steely Dan's Do It Again. It's a valentine to guys who step up. When a cop in one scene tells JR that he doesn't get to pick who his father is, JR has the best reply: Maybe. ,The Tender Bar, a Amazon Studios release, is rated R for language throughout and some sexual content. Running time: 105 minutes. Two stars out of four.

MovieReview

Actor George Clooney says he is very selective about the kind of projects he wants to be associated with currently and the main reason behind that is his family. Also Read: George Clooney reveals adorable morning routine with 4-year-old son,In an interview with The Guardian about directing his new film 'The Tender Bar', the 60-year-old was asked whether he feels he has enough money now at this stage in his life. To this, he answered while referring to an example where he declines huge amount just for one day of work. Well, yeah. I was offered $35 million for one day's work for an airline commercial, but I talked to Amal about it ,and we decided it's not worth it. Also Read: George Clooney has no plans of running for political office,It was (associated with) a country that, although it's an ally, is questionable at times, and so I thought: 'Well, if it takes a minute's sleep away from me, it's not worth it.' ,Clooney, who shares 4-year-old twins with wife Amal, 43, also spoke about why he has done less acting in recent years, reports people.com. In general, there just aren't that many great parts — and, look, I don't have to act, he said. My wife and I had this conversation when I turned 60 this summer. I said, 'I can still bounce around pretty good, and we both love what we do. But we gotta make sure we don't book ourselves silly.' So part of it is just us making sure we live our lives. Previously, Clooney told Marc Maron that how being an older dad informs his decisions in life and work. Also Read: George Clooney pledges to raise $70 mn for flood-struck Italian village,I had this discussion with Amal the other day because I turned 60. Look, we have to rethink how we're doing our lives, he shared, telling Maron that both he and Amal have talked about prioritizing their family over their careers in the near future. We're working a lot, both of us. She's working a tremendous amount as well. I just said, it doesn't mean we don't do a job because we gotta do a job. If you don't have a job, you're dead. We also have to make sure we're spending less time behind a computer or going on locations, he said. Also Read: George Clooney to launch Los Angeles high school film programme,His movie 'The Tender Bar' also stars Ben Affleck and opens in limited on theaters December 17, then nationwide on December 22.

George Clooney says he declined an ad offer worth $35M 'for one day's work'

Actor George Clooney shared his morning routine with his kids and this includes doing all the adorable and cute things together. The father of two, 60, said that his 4-year-old twins Ella and Alexander have opinions and they're funny, and they pull pranks on me, Clooney said on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast. reports people.com. Also Read: George Clooney has no plans of running for political office,Sharing one of the recent highlights of parenthood with his wife Amal Clooney, The 'Tender Bar' director gave a glimpse of what every morning has been with his son. Alexander every morning, eight in the morning, bangs on my bedroom door. I go, 'Who is it?' And he goes, 'It is I, Alexander Clooney,' the star shared. I open up the door, he jumps running in and I laugh out loud. They make me laugh, I laugh every day. They really are funny kids, he said. Last December, Clooney spoke about his kids' favorite prank to pull on others. ,They both have learned to play pranks, which is good fun, he told people.com. Also Read: George Clooney pledges to raise $70 mn for flood-struck Italian village,I did work with them on putting Nutella in a diaper and then eating it (prank). Whenever a stranger is around, they'll come in holding it, like, 'Papa, it's a dirty nappy!' and I go, 'Okay, I'll take care of it,' and then they eat the Nutella out of the nappy, Clooney described at the time. He also said last year that Ella and Alexander were developing distinct personalities. ,It's funny, they're twins, but they're very different, he noted. You learn so much with twins because you're raising them both at the same time, born the same day, but you realize how little it has to do with you. They were the person they were going to be when they were born. Now all your hope is to just kind of guide them along in the right direction, he continued.

George Clooney reveals adorable morning routine with 4-year-old son

Hollywood actor George Clooney, who has been politically active throughout his career, has ruled out running for political office. In a recent interview, the 60-year-old actor said he would not consider political office because I actually would like to have a nice life. I turned 60 this year, and I had a conversation with my wife, and we were working a lot, as we both do, and I said, 'We have to think of these as the halcyon years.' If we have our health, which we do … and I'm 60 and I can still play basketball and still do the things I love, but in 20 years I will be 80, and that's a real number, he said during an interview on BBC's The Andrew Marr Show. ,[It] doesn't matter how much you work out, what you eat. You're 80. And so I said, 'We have to make sure we enjoy and live these years in the best possible way.',Also Read: George Clooney pledges to raise $70 mn for flood-struck Italian village,Clooney, who has been a vocal opponent of Donald Trump, also commented on the former US president's political future. It's so funny because he was just this knucklehead. I knew him before he was a president, he was just a guy who was chasing girls. Every time you went out, he'd come over and be like, 'What's the name of that girl?' That's all he was, Clooney said of Trump. ,Clooney is friends with Joe Biden and ever since the latter took to office as President, his poll numbers have fluctuated. Clooney said he doesn't find this particularly surprising. There's a lot of things that have to be repaired. There's a lot of healing that has to happen, and it's going to take time. Poll numbers come up and go down. I would expect them to go back up again. Donald Trump's numbers went up and down, he said.

Hollywood star <a href="https://opoyi.com/topic/georgeclooney">George Clooney</a> has pledged to help raise £50 million (close to $70 million) for Lake Como, a small Italian village, that was left flooded this week after being struck by a heavy torrential downpour.,The actor was&nbsp;staying at his lakeside property Villa Oleandra in Laglio with his family when mud and debris cascaded through the town, submerging nearby properties.&nbsp;<a href="https://opoyi.com/much-worse-than-anybody-thinks-george-clooney-family-caught-in-italy-floods">Clooney and his family were among the thousands</a> caught up in the devastating floods that came after&nbsp;72 hours of torrential rain, which began on July 27 evening, according to the New Musical Express.&nbsp;,The heavy rain caused the banks of rivers and streams to burst which in turn transformed the road outside of Clooney’s house into a river.,Talking about the disastrous situation in the area, the 60-year-old said to the Italian media: "In Cernobbio the situation is serious and in Laglio it is even worse. I have spoken to the mayor — there will be a lot of work, it will take millions of dollars, but this city is strong. It will react and return better than before.

George Clooney, Julia Roberts to star in 'Ticket to Paradise'

California City, CA, USA

Actress- screenwriter Emma Thompson, who is coming up with her forthcoming film ‘Good Luck to You, Leo Grande’, says that it is going to be a <a href="https://opoyi.com/dr-anthony-fauci-among-people-magazines-2020-people-of-the-year">refreshing change</a> of pace from the typical Hollywood film about women who have romances with men decades older than themselves.,She was talking about Hollywood’s double standard during a recent interview with the CultureBlast podcast. Thompson’s character in the film says, “The only people willing to sleep with me are my age and I want to sleep with someone younger than me.” But it’s very rare for women to express that desire for a younger man onscreen, to which Thompson jokes, “If I have someone playing opposite me in a romantic way, they have to exhume someone, because I’m 61 now.”,“You get past 50 and you’re invisible.”,Directed by Sophie Hyde, “Leo Grande” is the story of a widow whose late husband had been an unsatisfying lover, so she decides to seek out a sex therapist in his early 20s, reports Variety.com., Meanwhile, she says that it’s completely acceptable for <a href="https://opoyi.com/cant-keep-saying-to-my-wife-lets-watch-tv-tonight-george-clooney-says-that-movie-industry-will-survive">George Clooney</a> to have an onscreen romance with someone who is 30 or 40 years younger than him. “It’s completely unbalanced,” she says.,But she is hopeful that the industry is changing. “If people aren’t averse to seeing someone who is 61 largely naked, with a very much younger person, it’s going to be very interesting. We’ve got to keep being brave.”

The year 2020 has not just changed the lifestyle pattern of millions of
people but also the way they consume entertainment, thanks to the emergence of
Over The Top (OTT) platforms. Hollywood star <a href="https://opoyi.com/cut-your-hair-in-true-george-clooney-style-learn-from-this-star-himself">George Clooney</a> says that this
change has opened new employment avenues, which is a good thing but it will
not impact the importance of theatrical release of the film in days to
come.,In an authored piece for Variety.com,
<a href="https://opoyi.com/3-year-old-son-hilariously-interrupts-george-clooneys-interview-speaks-in-italian">Clooney </a>said, “We shot a movie (“The Midnight Sky”) that was designed to be
shown in theaters. The first thing I said to the Netflix guys was ‘I don’t want
anybody to ever say, ‘Stay home from school, don’t go out for dinner, but
definitely come to see my movie.’” There’s no reality in it. So the movie is
going to come out on Netflix.,“We told them we’d shoot it in 65mm because
it’s night and day when you see it on a giant screen. This particular film is
made for that. But if you can’t, you can’t. There are a lot bigger issues in
the world right now than that.”,Clooney, who is married to human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, further said, “And let’s be clear that
in 1950 everybody panicked that the movie industry would be done because of
television, and then it was VHS, and then it was DVDs. The truth of the matter
is there’s always going to be a great space for cinema. People have to get out
of the house. I can’t keep saying to my wife, ‘Let’s watch TV tonight.’ What
(streaming) has done is provide thousands and thousands of new jobs for actors,
writers, directors and producers who are making some really interesting
content. It’s given new filmmakers, young people and minorities opportunities
to work, so there’s nothing but good that comes out of this.”,He says that “the movie industry is going
to continue to carry on.”,“Has it created some different viewing
habits? A little bit. But you know&nbsp;the
film industry survives these things; it always does. And part of it is
because we need a collective experience and it’s still a great date night.
Dinner and a movie is still pretty great. And kids still like to get in the
dark with whoever they’re seeing. They want to get away from their parents. So
young people are still going to go to the movies.,“We should be giving federal aid to the
theaters. The movie industry, Hollywood, which everybody loves to crap all
over, is one of the largest exporters of original product in the United States.
I would make the argument that they should be subsidizing the theaters and
keeping everybody afloat,” he said.
