Late Actor Donald Sutherland’s Memoir Won’t Be Published Today, But Set for 2026 to Clean It Up

0

EXCLUSIVE Back on March 27th, the Associated Press announced that actor Donald Sutherland would be publishing his memoir on November 12th.

“Made Up, But Still True” was coming from Crown Books, part of Penguin Random House.

But then the lavishly praised Sutherland — who had a Lifetime Achievement Oscar for movies like “MASH,” “Klute,” “Ordinary People,” “The Hunger Games” series, “Don’t Look Now” — died in July at age 88.

If you’re looking for the book today, however, you’re out of luck. Very quietly, the memoir has been moved to February 2026.

What happened? Crown has never announced the change, and the book was in their catalog for today.

But now friends say a lot happened. For one thing, Sutherland’s family, including his wife of 50 years and his famous actor son Keifer, didn’t know anything about it.

Then it turned out that manuscript wasn’t just a genteel remembrance of Sutherland’s award winning past. Married three times, and father of five children Sutherland — I’m told — was incredibly indiscreet about all his relationships including past lovers.

In the early 70s, for example, Sutherland had a two year affair with his “Klute” co-star, Jane Fonda. The affair broke up his second marriage, to Shirley Douglas, with whom he had Kiefer and his sister, Rachel.

In the book, Sutherland is said to have been way too candid about his sex life. Despite the actor being known for his noble bearing, he is said to have let his hair down a bit too much in print. Indeed, Sutherland had previously confided in an interview that with GQ that when the couple visited the Chelsea Hotel in the early ‘70s “when the moonlight caught her perfect breasts,” he “stopped breathing.” In another interview, he told Entertainment Weekly “a juicy, not-fit-for-print story.”

I ran into Sutherland in 2018 in New York at Joe Allen’s restaurant when he was promoting an FX series called “Trust,” in which he played J. Paul Getty. Crochety is an understatement for his demeanor. Was he well when he was saying all these things and writing his book? Or was he just being himself?

Anyway, I’m told we’ll see a toned down version of “Made Up, But Still True” in 2026. Donald Sutherland’s reputation will remain in tact. Whew!

Kevin Costner Spins “Yellowstone” Suicide: What Happened to His “Moral Death Clause”? Is This Is a Head Fake?

0

Kevin Costner would make a great politician.

When he fired his best friend, Kevin Reynolds, and took over directing “Waterworld,” he managed to spin it in his favor.

When “The Postman” tanked, it was someone else’s fault. When “Horizon” sank beneath the horizon, again, someone else was to blame.

What about Kevin tried to turn the sacred land in South Dakota that he filmed “Dances with Wolves” on into a casino and hotel project? Oh yeah, that.

Today, Costner says he’s “surprised” his character, John Dutton, allegedly committed suicide on “Yellowstone.” He says he didn’t know anything about it. LOL.

Last year, Costner’s side in the “Yellowstone” promoted the idea that Taylor Sheridan couldn’t write him about because of a “moral exit clause” in his contract. Remember that? No. If people remembered what happened two days ago, they would have voted a lot differently, too.

Sheridan said he wouldn’t do anything untoward to John Dutton. Remember that? Well in June 2023 Sheridan told The Hollywood Reporter: “I don’t do fuck-you car crashes. Whether [Dutton’s fate] inflates [Costner’s] ego or insults is collateral damage that I don’t factor in with regard to storytelling.”

Uh huh. Except now John Dutton has “died” in a fuck you way. Suicide? Killed by his son, Jamie? Or what else? He said in an interview today: “They’re pretty smart people. Maybe it’s a red herring. Who knows? They’re very good. And they’ll figure that out.”

Costner knew exactly how Dutton would be “Killed.” He’s the one saying it’s a red herring, meaning he knows that John Dutton will somehow rise from the grave.

Will all this publicity help the ratings? Or keep fans tuning in? Did Costner come to terms with Sheridan? I’d say yes. But really, everyone, try and remember what was said last week, month, or year ago.

Honest reaction? Good grief!

“Yellowstone” Fans Freak Out As John Dutton is Killed, No One Can Figure Out Where the Show Is

0

I told you exclusively on Thursday night that “Yellowstone” was killing off John Dutton in the first episode of season 5.2.

And they did. Jamie, his son, had the deed committed and they made it look like a suicide.

Kevin Costner is gone. We knew that for more than a year. Wasn’t anyone paying attention?

Costner left to leverage his “Yellowstone” popularity and make his film, “Horizon.” It bombed, the sequel has never been released, and two more chapters are on the drawing board.

The show will end with this season, or be migrated into a new iteration with some of the existing actors.

This is Costner’s fault. Online, fans were freaking out that Taylor Sheridan, the show’s creator, had done something awful. Many blamed Costner. Let’s say fault was on both sides. But what else could happen? They weren’t going to recast John Dutton. Sheridan got rid of him, like clearing the underbrush. It reminded me of when Julian Fellowes knocked off Dan Stevens when he left “Downton Abbey.” It was a decisive move!

Meantime, fans on Twitter X had a lot of trouble finding “Yellowstone.” It aired on the Paramount Channel on cable at 8pm, but not on CBS until 10pm and not on streaming until today. A lot of people went to the Paramount Plus thinking it would be there, or to Peacock. They were disappointed to say the least.

“Yellowstone,” a crazy knock off of “Dallas,” could have gone on for years. Costner could have just cooperated and made the series, and filmed movies during the hiatuses. But he had to make “Horizon,” a movie no one wanted. and this is the result.

Mariah Carey’s “Christmas” Song De-throned, Knocked to Number 3 by Stevie Nicks and Jason Kelce!

0

This is the 30th anniversary year for Mariah Carey’s “All i Want for Christmas.” The 90s pop star has turned Christmas into a huge business with lots of merchandise including the record.

But “All I Want for Christmas” is already facing stiff competition on the holiday music charts. After a few days at number 1, it’s been toppled at number 1 by a new release.

“Maybe this Christmas” was released on Friday and has shot to the top of the iTunes Holiday charts. The song is by Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks and ex-NFL star Jason Kelce, brother of Travis Kelce who is Taylot Swift’s boyfriend.

The song is written by Rex Sexsmith. It’s part of Kelce’s annual charity album titled “A Philly Special Christmas Party.”

Mariah is knocked to number 3 because Number 2 is Cher and Kelly Clarkson’s “DJ Play a Christmas Song,” also new this week.

Hear it all below:

“Gladiator II” Star Paul Mescal Bringing “Streetcar Named Desire” to New York in March 2025

0

Paul Mescal is going to be very busy in March 2025.

His hit London production of “A Streetcar Named Desire” is coming to Brooklyn’s BAM Theater after a run at the Almeida Theater in Islington. The play featuring the “Gladiator II” star is making a second run in London before coming here.

At the same, Mescal will be in the Oscars mix that month for “Gladiator II” without a doubt. The Paramount release launches soon, and Mescal will have a lot of awards promotion all winter.

Of course, in “Streetcar” Mescal plays the Marlon Brando role of bellowing lout Stanley Kowalski. The last time I saw “Streetcar” on stage was also at BAM, with Joel Edgerton as Stanley. It seems like a short time ago, but that was 2008. Cate Blanchett played Blanche.

It’s interesting that producers are bringing Mescal to BAM, which is technically off Broadway and not eligible for Tony Awards. But many British imports, especially from the Almeida, set down in Brooklyn — the equivalent of Islington. It takes the pressure off the productions and guarantees a solid audience.

Coincidentally, Mescal’s “Gladiator II” co-star Denzel Washington will be opening on Broadway in “Othello” at the same time. The Oscars will be held March 2nd in Los Angeles.

Grammys Full List: Beyonce Poised for Victory with “Cowboy Carter” in Mostly Female Crowd

0

Here’s the full list of Grammy nominees.

Beyonce looks good with several nominations for “Cowboy Carter” in general and in country. The album, as well as songs “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages” are thoroughly represented.

Taylor Swift is, too. But it’s interesting that she didn’t get a Pop Solo nomination, or any song nods except for “Fortnight,” her duet with Post Malone.

Even Taylor knows it’s too much already. Her producer, the ubiquitous Jack Antonoff, wasn’t nominated this year. He won last year.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are nominated for “Die with a Smile.” But Gaga’s “Harlequin” album was ignored, even in the jazz category.

Yes, both the Beatles and Rolling Stones were nominated. I hope they each win. It only took 60 years. LOL.

The big mysteries: how albums by Andre 3000 and Jacob Collier, each of which sold very little, got into Album of the Year. To be a fly on the wall at those horse trading sessions!

Exclusive: “Yellowstone” Final Season Begins with Costner’s John Dutton Buying the Ranch

0

The final season opener of “Yellowstone” screened tonight at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

It’s no secret that Kevin Costner and the show parted company some time ago. Costner’s character, John Dutton, had a lot of enemies, his exit wasn’t hard to execute.

Spies at MoMA confirmed that Dutton buys the ranch, so to speak, in the first episode. A family member does the deed but I’ll leave out the name of the culprit.

This won’t be like “Who Shot JR?” a mystery that went on for months. Viewers will learn who did it, and who Id’s the body right away.

Is it a ruse? Could Dutton be pretending to be dead only to turn up in the final episode? Anything is possible. But Costner is gone, and so is Dutton.

Costner did drop hints that he might somehow return, so maybe he’ll surprise everyone at the end. That would be amusing. But on Sunday, John Dutton is going boots up for all intents and purposes.

Costner, meantime, is busy trying to get “Horizon, Part 2” released and raise the money for parts 3 and 4. Part 1 was a box office dud, losing all of its $100 plus million for Warner Bros. as well as the $38 million Costner invested in it.

“Grey’s Anatomy” Is Back Tonight But the End is Near as Audience is Vanishing

0

It’s the 21st season of “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Frankly, they could be doing anything on that once popular ABC drama. No one is paying attention.

With 5 episodes this season, the show’s average rating is down 26.6% from last season. In the key demo, the fall off has been 40%.

The October 24th episode had just 2.1 million viewers. The previous week was 2 million.

The party is over. It’s lasted a long time but they’ve squeezed this thing until nothing is left. Star Ellen Pompeo is rich beyond words, and she only appears in a few episodes this season. There are only two regulars aside from Pompeo who’ve made it to the end — Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr. Kevin McKidd would be third on the list. They will never have to work again.

There’s a new episode tonight. The hospital has gone through everything possible. What could be left except an alien invasion?
