  • Jamie Lee Curtis removes post supporting Israel following backlash

    By IANS

    LOS ANGELES: Oscar-winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis has quietly responded to backlash over her post which saw her showing support for Israel following the Hamas attack.

    The actress has deleted the controversial post as it’s no longer on her Instagram page, reports aceshowbiz.com.

    In the Saturday post, Jamie shared a picture of several children looking terrified while staring missiles in the sky.

    “Terror from the skies,” the ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ actress wrote alongside an Israel flag.

    The actress also tagged Samar Abu Elouf, the photographer behind the image.

    Samar, however, clarified that the picture actually featured Palestinian children in Gaza.

    They were running from bombs being counter-launched by Israel.

    “Palestinian families seek refuge with their children from the northern Gaza Trip to UNRWA schools inside Gaza City. Children are afraid of the sound of bombing who hear it during their presence due to events on the Strip’s borders,” the photographer wrote on her own Instagram page.

    It didn’t take long for Internet users to slam Jamie as she used the wrong picture to show solidarity to Israel.

    “Just to clarify, this picture is from Gaza. The children looking up at the rockets are Palestinian,” an Instagram user wrote in the comments section.

    “That’s Arabic in the back there, look at the store signs. If that was in Israel, it would be Hebrew,” someone else pointed out. “In fact, this is a picture from Gaza! The children are Palestinian children from Gaza and they are under Israeli terror and heavy airstrike!”

    “Girl, wtf is the message here? You have a photo of Palestinian children taken by a Gaza-based Muslim photojournalist with an Israeli flag in the incredibly manipulative caption,” someone else fumed.

    A user on X (formerly Twitter), wrote: “Jamie Lee Curtis posting a pic from Gaza and thinking it’s from Israel is kinda funny ngl.”

    “Jamie Lee Curtis reposting a picture of Palestinian children in Gaza and captioning it with the Israeli flag is some serious shameless lying. When you support Israel, you need to lie in order to make your case,” another tweeted. “Jamie Lee Curtis posted the picture to get sympathy for Israel when it’s literally Palestinian kids… you can’t make this up…,” another tweet read.

    Jamie wasn’t the only celebrity who was under fire after showing support for Israel.

    Kylie Jenner landed in hot water as she was called by online users for sharing a pro-Israel post even though her best friends, including Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid, have been advocating for Palestine for years.

    Beginning on Saturday, the militant group Hamas launched thousands of rockets from Gaza in a surprise ambush.

    Since the ongoing conflict, more than 1,100 people have been killed from both sides and over 2,300 people have been injured, according to the media.

  • After 40 years in industry, Jamie Lee Curtis strikes Oscars with ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’

    By AFP

    HOLLYWOOD: She is Hollywood royalty, the daughter of two legendary actors. She became a scream queen for the ages in the “Halloween” films and did a sexy striptease for Arnold Schwarzenegger in “True Lies.” Now, Jamie Lee Curtis is an Oscar winner.

    The 64-year-old Curtis on Sunday took home her first Academy Award on her first nomination for playing a surly tax auditor investigating laundromat owner Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh) in the mind-bending “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

    After nearly 50 years on the big and small screen, it was certainly a crowning moment, and one that her famous parents — nominees Janet Leigh (“Psycho”) and Tony Curtis (“The Defiant Ones”) — never achieved.

    “I just won an Oscar!” she said tearfully at the end of her speech, in which she paid tribute to her parents, her husband and children, fans and colleagues.

    Curtis is the one notable non-Asian star in the film’s ensemble and one of four Academy Award nominees along with Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu, who was also in Curtis’ category. Quan was also a winner on Sunday.

    As IRS agent Deirdre Beaubeirdre (Curtis) reels off all the mistakes that Evelyn has made on her taxes, the characters are all swept into an epic battle across multiple universes to save humanity from a powerful villain.

    Curtis, who was known earlier in her career as “The Body” for her slender physique, subverts that image in her “Everything” turn as the paunchy Deirdre, who sports a frumpy bob, a mustard turtleneck and a lemon yellow sweater vest.

    “I’ve been sucking my stomach in since I was 11, when you start being conscious of boys and bodies, and the jeans are super tight,” she wrote on Instagram in 2022.

    “I very specifically decided to relinquish and release every muscle I had that I used to clench to hide the reality. That was my goal. I have never felt more free creatively and physically.”

    Throughout the course of the film, the lonely IRS agent has an epic fight scene with Yeoh’s character, sprouts hot dog fingers, and ends up in one universe as Yeoh’s lover.

    It’s a gonzo, no-holds-barred performance from an actor who has been working since her late teens.

    “I loved Deirdre because I know how lonely she is and I know how forgotten she is. I understood what a garden exists inside her,” Curtis told The Washington Post.

    Curtis bested a field of nominees that included Golden Globe winner Angela Bassett (“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Kerry Condon (“The Banshees of Inisherin”), Hong Chau (“The Whale”) and her own co-star Hsu.

    Curtis won the Screen Actors Guild award in the run-up to the Oscars.

    From ‘Halloween’ to ‘Everything’

    Curtis was born in the Los Angeles area in November 1958, but her parents divorced just a few years later, and she was raised by her mother and stock broker stepfather.

    After an itinerant high school life that ended at an elite East Coast boarding school, Curtis managed only one semester at college before dropping out to pursue acting.

    Her film debut came as heroine Laurie Strode in the 1978 horror film “Halloween” — a major box office success that would spawn multiple sequels.

    Producer Debra Hill admitted she hired Curtis because her mother had starred in Hitchcock’s “Psycho,” dying at the hands of Norman Bates in the infamous shower scene.

    But while it was perhaps a bit of stunt casting, it would become one of Curtis’ most iconic roles, one that she reprised most recently in the 2022 film “Halloween Ends.”

    Since then, she has appeared in dozens of film and television roles, from the 1983 comedy “Trading Places” to 1988’s “A Fish Called Wanda” opposite Kevin Kline, to the 1994 spy flick “True Lies” with Schwarzenegger to TV’s “Scream Queens.”

    She recently starred in the all-star whodunit “Knives Out.”

    In 2003, she starred with Lindsay Lohan in a popular remake of “Freaky Friday,” in which the bodies of mother and daughter are magically switched. Curtis has said a sequel is potentially in the cards.

    As for upcoming projects, Curtis is set to star in a film adaptation of the video game “Borderland” with Cate Blanchett, and in a television series based on the Kay Scarpetta mysteries written by Patricia Cornwell.

    Curtis has been married to Oscar-nominated actor/director/writer Christopher Guest (“This Is Spinal Tap”) since 1984. The couple has two children, Annie and Ruby.

  • Jamie Lee Curtis bids adieu to ‘Halloween’ character Laurie Strode

    By PTI

    LOS ANGELES: Hollywood veteran Jamie Lee Curtis has wrapped filming for “Halloween Ends”, which marks her final outing as Laurie Strode, the main protagonist of the slasher franchise.

    It was filmmaker John Carpenter’s 1981 slasher movie ‘Halloween’ that launched Curtis in Hollywood.

    The film was a huge blockbuster and spawned a successful film franchise, with Curtis headlining the follow-ups ‘Halloween II’ (1981), ‘Halloween H20: 20 Years Later’ (1998) and ‘Halloween: Resurrection’ (2002).

    She returned to the franchise with 2018’s ‘Halloween’, which was a direct sequel to the 1981 original.

    After 2021’s “Halloween Kills”, the series is set to end with “Halloween Ends”, scheduled to be released later this year.

    On Tuesday, Curtis took to Instagram to share that she has finished shooting for “Halloween Ends”.

    She also posted several behind-the-scenes photos from the sets, including one of a tattoo on her forearm, which read, ‘Laurie Strode 4 Ever’.

    “A bittersweet END for me on the Halloween movies. I’ve made great friends and have collaborated with wonderful artists on these three movies and today my part in the film has been completed and with it the END for me of this trilogy. It’s all because of the fans who have always supported me and more importantly, Laurie,” the 63-year-old actor wrote.

    Curtis also gave a shout out to the films’ “creative teams” as well as her co-stars Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Kyle Richards and James Jude Courtney.

    Directed by David Gordon Green, “Halloween Ends” is scheduled to be released in October 2022 by Universal Pictures.
