Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - July 26, 2015, Winnipeg, Manitoba C M Y K PAGE A12 Theron made backstage blunder EVEN celebs can get tongue- tied in the presence of bigger celebs. Charlize Theron recounted a good example on Jimmy Kimmel Live the other night. A year earlier, she and U. S. President Barack Obama appeared on the show. As they waited backstage, Obama said he liked the show because it has a " younger demographic." " I didn't know what to say," Theron said. " All I could come up with was, ' Well, if you're looking for a different demographic, I can take you to a strip club.' " Oops. Obama, realizing she was nervous, was " gracious and funny" Theron said. But still, she was so embarrassed, " I couldn't sleep for four weeks." Kimmel's comment: " If you'd said that to president Clinton, you'd probably still be at that." A 12 WINNIPEG FREE PRESS, SUNDAY, JULY 26, 2015 ENTERTAINMENT winnipegfreepress. com Compiled by DOUG CAMILLI / tell camilli@ gmail. com the Scene A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT Lawrence's tiny tattoo has an error NEWS you need: Jennifer Lawrence has a small, faint tattoo on the back of her left hand near the thumb. It says H2O - as in water - but the little " 2" is high, not low. She told hitflix. com she was with The Hunger Games co- star Liam Hemsworth and some of his relatives, and they were all getting tattoos. She was thinking, " I'm always going to need to be hydrated, so I guess I should get H2O on my hand. It's literally the most un- rebellious tattoo that anyone could ever get," she said. " By the way, I know that the 2 is high and in H2O the 2 is supposed to be low. I should have Googled it before I got it tattooed on my body forever." Sharknado to return with sequel WELL, Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! has come ( and gone, except for innumerable reruns). The idea of sharks showering down on Washington, D. C., had a certain charm - what, no Ottawa version? - but many critics are saying the series has, er, jumped the shark. The first two are so bad they're good, but this one was just dreary, or so I read. Deadline. com called it an " orgy of bad special effects and campy cameos." Los Angeles Times television critic Robert Lloyd wrote, " Having now watched Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! , I find myself in the position of having to write about it. And I am not sure which is worse." Still, there will indeed be a fourth instalment, producers said. The third one ends with a cliffhanger - will Tara Reid's character April live or die? - and viewers are invited to vote at syfy. com/ sharknado3. Actor's wife gives birth to his granddaughter ACTOR Lorenzo Lamas, 57, is married to one Shawna Craig, 29. His daughter from a previous marriage, Shayne Lamas, also 29, is married to one Nik Richie. Shayne and Richie have a three- year- old daughter, Press. Got all that? Anyway, Shayne and Richie wanted a second child, but her child- bearing years ended in 2014, when she had an ectopic pregnancy that nearly killed her. Happily, however, a solution was found: Craig became the young couple's surrogate, and on July 4 she gave birth to their son, Lyon. Closer Weekly had the story the other day. So Lorenzo ( remember Falcon Crest ?) became a grandpa again when his wife gave birth. Confusing, isn't it? Anyone else remember the old novelty song I'm My Own Grandpa ? Swift's album title risks riling China TAYLOR Swift's hit album 1989 is named after her birth year. Naturally, she is marketing all kinds of related merchandise, including clothing. Unfortunately, this is causing some problems in China, where her initials and that date remind people of the Tiananmen Square massacre in June 1989, when hundreds of pro- democracy protesters were killed by soldiers in Beijing. Since then, the Chinese government has worked industriously to erase the event from history, banning all mention of it. Swift is scheduled to launch the 1989 clothing line on two top Chinese retail websites, Taobao and Jing Dong. But British newspaper the Telegraph predicts the authorities will not allow anything branded " 1989," and adds Taylor's planned Chinese concert dates may be scrapped, too. Jurassic World just keeps raking it in THE fourth instalment in the Jurassic Park film series, Jurassic World, has moved into third place on the list of the highest- grossing movies in history, with US$ 1.52 billion in worldwide revenue and counting. I think we all know what that means, don't we? Yup. Universal Pictures has announced another sequel will open on June 22, 2018. The studio says the film, which does not yet have a title, will include Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. ( The studio didn't say if she'll be running in heels again.) Colin Trevorrow, who directed Jurassic World , will be a screenwriter and executive producer, but Universal hasn't named a director. ( Jurassic World has a long way to go before it surpasses either of the two highest- grossing movies ever. Avatar brought in US$ 2.79 billion, while Titanic made US$ 2.18 billion.) Rapper still insists he's not rich WHAT a treat to see rapper 50 Cent insisting he's a phoney. Tuesday, in a Manhattan courtroom, the rapper claimed his flashy lifestyle was just " entertainment." He's painting himself as poor to avoid high punitive damages in that lawsuit I've been telling you about. ( He's already been ordered to pay at least US$ 5 million to Lastonia Leviston after a jury ruled he doctored and promulgated a sex tape of her without permission. He's even filed for bankruptcy.) Yes, he bought a Rolls- Royce, he said, but only by trading in his Lamborghini. His other cars are leased. His US$ 1.6- million wager on a Floyd Mayweather fight was bogus. His gold chains are loaners. And so on. His " get rich or die tryin' " lifestyle is just " entertainment," he claimed. On cross- examination, he admitted to a US$ 80- million deal with Reebok, a 17- acre estate and mansion in Connecticut, a big profit on his Vitamin Water venture, and more. But, you know, poverty is really a state of mind. SYFY / BELL MEDIA Ian Ziering and Tara Reid in a scene from the latest Sharknado TV movie.
