‘Queer Eye’ Changed More Than Lifestyles
12 June 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
When “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” premiered in July 2003, most of the attention was focused on what was then a daring hook: Each week, five gay men — Carson Kressley, Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia and Jai Rodriguez (aka the Fab Five) — would invade a straight man’s world and completely makeover his fashion style, his home and his lifestyle.
“We didn’t expect it to be a big hit,” Kressley says. “We weren’t trying to cure juvenile diabetes or something. We realized it was about getting rid of pleated khakis and making it fun. But it was also about empowering people, saying ‘You can take control. You can look great, you can feel great, you can get the job, the girl — whatever it is you’re trying to achieve we can help you do it.’ ”
“Queer Eye” proved far more enduring than most moments in the pop culture zeitgeist. »

7 Great Actress Anecdotes From “Inside The Actors Studio”
30 May 2013 11:03 AM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
Inside the Actors Studio aired a two-hour special in honor of its 250th episode on Bravo last night, and you know what? I actually got nostalgic. I realized I’d seen a whole bunch of James Lipton‘s thespian interrogations at Pace University, and some episodes even contain marvelous insights. I’ve collected my seven favorites from beloved actresses below.
1. Meryl Streep on her “process”
“I come to each job with an open heart and trying to do my best with some connection to a character that I don’t completely understand, although I know she lives in me. I don’t question it. I have it. It’s a thing. It’s undeniable. I know I can’t make a wrong move if I just hold onto knowing what I know is true, knowing what I know is real for me.”
One amazing thing about Meryl Streep is that when she talks about acting, »

"Inside the Actors Studio" celebrated its 250th episode with a big surprise guest.
Bradley Cooper, who had previously appeared on the Bravo series as a student four times, including asking Robert De Niro a question, was there for the second time as an actor. While on stage, De Niro came out and surprised his "Silver Linings Playbook" co-star, which received a standing ovation.
The 250th episode celebration of "Inside the Actors Studio" also included a look back at favorite guests -- Robin Williams was the viewer's choice -- and dissecting why the show and format have been so successful. According to Katie Couric, it's because Lipton makes guests comfortable enough to reveal facts about themselves.

James Lipton Says He Was a Pimp in Paris Managing Lots of Prostitutes
30 May 2013 4:32 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
"Inside the Actors Studio," which is seen in 94 million homes an in 125 foreign countries, celebrated its 250th episode. The host of the show, James Lipton, sat down with Parade magazine to talk about the milestone as well as his own past, which included being a pimp. Lipton explained that he grew up very poor and had to work from the age of 13, because his father abandoned the family. He graduated from high school in 1944 and attempted everything from acting to becoming a lawyer. But in the 1950s, he briefly became a pimp in Paris. "It was only a few years after the war. Men couldn't get jobs and women couldn't get work at all. It was perfectly respectable for them to go into [prostitution]," he explained. "Young women desperately needed money for various reasons. [Prostitution] was completely regulated. Every week they had to be inspected medically. The great bordellos were flourishing in those days. »
'Inside the Actors Studio' Host James Lipton Reveals His Life as a Paris Pimp

As he made the promo circuit ostensibly to hype the 250th episode of his series "Inside the Actors Studio" on May 29, James Lipton gave an explosive interview to Parade Magazine. The often sycophantic interviewer went into frank detail about his former life as a pimp in 1950s Paris. Apparently, he has no regrets about his youthful employment. Quotes:“I had to be okayed by the underworld, otherwise they would’ve found me floating in the Seine."“It was only a few years after the war. Paris was different then, still poor. Men couldn’t get jobs and, in the male chauvinist Paris of that time, the women couldn’t get work at all. It was perfectly respectable for them to go into le milieu.”“The great bordellos were still flourishing in those days … I did a roaring business.” “The French mecs didn’t exploit women. They represented them, like agents. »

The Offer She Turned Down
29 May 2013 10:55 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It's a big week for James Lipton. Not only did he appear in the fourth season of "Arrested Development," which hit Netflix on Sunday, but the 250th of his Bravo series "Inside The Actors Studio" airs Wednesday night.
And while the hit talk show has boasted A-list actors like George Clooney and Angelina Jolie, Lipton opened up about Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence declining his offer.
"I talked to Bravo and said, 'She's 22. Should we take a shot at it?' We all agreed that she was so brilliant in 'Silver Linings Playbook' and Bradley [Cooper, a former student of Lipton's] was urging me, saying he would come and sit in the front row," Lipton told TV Guide. "She said, 'I love the show. I'm not ready for it.' I perfectly respect her. She's 22 years old. She's got time."
The 250th episode of "Inside The Actors Studio" will bring back Cooper, Robert De Niro, »

'Inside the Actors Studio' reaches 250 episodes: The best clips from the first 249

Acting guru and ex-Parisian pimp — seriously — James Lipton has never had trouble attracting big names to Inside the Actors Studio, which began airing on Bravo in 1994. Lipton’s first interview was with former Actors Studio president Paul Newman; the show’s first season also featured heavy hitters like Alec Baldwin, Sally Field, Dennis Hopper, Arthur Miller, Neil Simon, and Stephen Sondheim.
Nearly 20 years later, Lipton has chatted with hundreds of boldfaced names both awe-inspiring (Meryl Streep! Morgan Freeman! ) and… occasionally less awe-inspiring (was anyone really yearning to hear J. Lo describe her craft?). And naturally, those visits have produced days »

James Lipton Was a Pimp (Seriously)
29 May 2013 9:11 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
So, James Lipton was once a pimp -- for real. It may sound like the beginning of a dirty joke, but the "Inside the Actors Studio" host just revealed to Parade that he worked as a pimp in 1950s Paris. Now, don't judge him just yet. The 86-year-old explained his decision to take on the job, saying: "It was only a few years after the war. Paris was different then, still poor. Men couldn't get jobs and, in the male chauvinist Paris of that time, the women couldn't get work at all," adding “Young women desperately needed money for various reasons. They were beautiful and young and extraordinary. There was no opprobrium because it was completely regulated." When asked how he got into the field, he revealed that he became "good friends" with a prostitute during his time in France, and when he "ran out of money" and faced having to return home, »

"Inside the Actors Studio" host James Lipton has gotten some candid interviews over the years on his show. But now it is his turn for the candid interview, in the new issue of Parade, where he talks about everything from the one interview he always wanted and didn't get to his time working as a pimp in France.
Who did you most want on the show who turned you down?
"Marlon Brando. He was reclusive in the last years of his life. He said, 'I'm never going to do your show. The [Actors] Studio's always taking credit for me. I was trained by Stella Adler.' I said, 'So was I. Come on. We'll talk about Stella.' I've had a pretty good roster of guests without Marlon."
Is it true you were a pimp in Paris in the 1950s?
"I was. It was only a few years after the war. »

Here's something you don't hear every day: Dean emeritus of the Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University and host of the Bravo series "Inside the Actors Studio" used to be a pimp -- according to himself. In advance of the show's 250th episode, the youthful 86-year-old admitted to Parade.com that he had pandered "a whole bordello" of women in 1950s Paris, "only a few years after the war."

[One of the prostitutes and I] became great friends. When I ran out of money, I said, ‘I have to go home.’ She said, ‘No, you don’t. I’ll arrange for you.’ So she arranged for me to do it. »
