Jane Fonda Responds to QVC Cancellation: “I Love My Country”

0

Here’s what Jane Fonda has written this morning on her blog in response to being cancelled by QVC:

“I was to have been on QVC today to introduce my book, “Prime Time,” about aging and the life cycle. The network said they got a lot of calls yesterday criticizing me for my opposition to the Vietnam War and threatening to boycott the show if I was allowed to appear. I am, to say the least, deeply disappointed that QVC caved to this kind of insane pressure by some well funded and organized political extremist groups. And that they did it without talking to me first. I have never shied away from talking about this as I have nothing to hide. I could have pointed out that threats of boycotts are nothing new for me and have never prevented me from having best selling books and exercise DVDs, films, and a Broadway play. Most people don’t buy into the far right lies. Many people have reached out to express how excited they were about my going onto QVC and hearing about my book.

Bottom line, this has gone on far too long, this spreading of lies about me! None of it is true. NONE OF IT! I love my country. I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us. I do not understand what the far right stands to gain by continuing with these myths. In this case, they denied a lot of people the chance to hear about a book that can help make life better, easier and more fulfilling. I am deeply grateful for all of the support I have been getting since this happened, including from my Vietnam Veterans friends.”

 

Paul McCartney Hits It out of the Park at Yankee Stadium

0

You know, Paul McCartney–who wrote “Love Me Do” at 15 and “Yesterday” not much later, is now astonishingly youthful 69. He’s five years past his song “When I’m 64.” It doesn’t seem possible. But just to prove that he looks and sounds better than ever, the former and always Beatle played a packed, sold out Yankee Stadium on Friday night. The main celebrity guest was Mayor Mike Bloomberg, but also thought to be in the audience were former Wings musician Denny Laine (also of the Moody Blues) and Chevy Chase. McCartney is man of great contradictions. He seems to love his talented band but doesn’t introduce them by name or give them their due. He wears beautifully tailored clothes, but uses snap on suspenders (braces). There are two TelePrompters hooked up in the audience on which someone is closed-captioning the show with McCartney’s famous lyrics. It’s weird.

But just when McCartney seems confounding, he sings “I Will” from the White Album, or the first instance in concert of “The Night Before” from the Help! album, and it’s magic. He also tells a lot of stories, some of which he thinks will not even interest the audience. His shows have become chatty and autobiographical, which is nice if you’re a long time fan. He wants to tell us stuff, but he’s not sure if it’s good. Trust me, Paul, it is. He also has his failings. Why sing the god awful “Let ‘Em In” when he could be giving us “Another Day” or “Daytime Nighttime Suffering”?

Sometimes he is not his best editor. “Mrs. Vanderbilt” begins abruptly. “Band on the Run” is nearly thrown away. “Jet” could stand a mini retirement. Where are “Too Many People,” “My Love,” and “My Brave Face”? Where is any reference to highly praised albums like “Flaming Pie,” “Chaos and Creation,” the song “My Ever Present Past”? And why, oh why, isn’t “A Day in the Life” performed all the way through, instead of being jack hammered with “Give Peace a Chance”?  Mysteries.

But that’s Paul. Lots of mysteries. He’s the surviving Beatle, the one with the songs. He runs hot and cold, but when he’s hot, it’s a treat. He looks tired at the end of almost three hours, but no more so than a man half his age. And when he starts the run to the end — “Let it Be,” “Live and Let Die,” “Hey Jude,” “Yesterday” — he is simply unmatched. And PS– Yankee Stadium, home of the hot dog, was turned veggie last night from top to bottom in every luxury suite. Somewhere in heaven, Linda McCartney was smiling.

Exclusive: Jane Fonda Cancelled by QVC: Shopping Channel Gives in to Bogus Internet Stories

8

Jane Fonda was supposed to be on QVC this morning– Saturday–to promote her new book, “Prime Time.” But I am told that QVC abruptly cancelled the appearance. Why? Because the shopping network said it received calls protesting Fonda’s past political life. Really, this is unbelievable.

This cancellation and a couple of others Fonda has endured this year stem from a nasty internet campaign created from pure fiction.

Years ago, on Fox News of all places, I tried to debunk numerous urban myths about the two time Oscar winner‘s controversial 1972 trip to Hanoi. So much of the fringe right wing propagated lies about Fonda, and those lies became stories on the internet. That QVC would capitulate to such stupidity is just beyond me. John Malone and Liberty Media are too smart to let this happen.  By the way, Jane signed 7000 copies of “Prime Time,” an extraordinary look at aging in America. They’re ready to go. We should all call QVC and demand to buy “Prime Time.”

I am told that QVC didn’t even bother to ask Jane about this, or tell her the reason why they cancelled her appearance. And they obviously weren’t smart enough to check the internet for this story, which I wrote 10 years ago and am happy to reprint here.

Here’s my story from 2001, “Jane Fonda and the Urban Myth of Hanoi Jane,” originally published and still found on Fox news.com:

The question of Jane Fonda’s actions during her visit to Hanoi in 1972 still raises a lot of emotion. Over the weekend, this column received several dozen e-mails calling her a traitor.

There were also several dozen e-mails, however, that cited Fonda’s actual activities in Hanoi. These e-mails were erroneous in the opinion of some former POWs and the U.S. government. Fonda — in error for posing for photos on tanks, etc. — is innocent of most of the accusations leveled at her in these missives.

I alert you first to a very good Web site run by an American Legion post in Arizona. The address is www.post44.org/misc/fonda.html. From that site it is also possible to email the POWs who have become part of the stories and ask them what happened. Also please read this website posting by Mike McGrath of the POW-MIA organization. http://www.military-money-matters.com/nam-pows.html It’s time for Google and Bing to clean their search engines of these false stories once and for all.

To wit: Although Fonda did go to Hanoi, participated in a staged press conference with American POWs and posed for some regrettable pictures, she did not — I repeat did not-– turn in the names of American POWs to the North Vietnamese military. There was no passing of pieces of crumpled paper from Americans to her. Her main speech, the text of which follows, simply describes her observations of the North Vietnamese people as fellow human beings.

Stanley Karnow, a highly respected journalist and author of the impressively reviewed Vietnam: A History, told me when I asked him about the urban myths about Fonda’s visit to Hanoi: “I’ve never heard of any of this.”

Because they didn’t happen.

Fonda never came in contact with someone named Col. Larry Carrigan. She also was never spat at by a POW, who in turn was tortured as punishment for his actions.

In fact, Cora Weiss –-a fringe anti-war activist who organized trips to Hanoi in those days — said in a previously published interview: “We asked Jane if she wanted to meet American POW pilots and she declined.”

The point of this? As time has passed and the Internet has become a breeding ground for falsehoods, the story of Fonda’s trip has been turned inside out.

Was it wrong for her to go to Hanoi? Yes. Does she regret it? Again, yes.

Fonda first apologized during an interview with Barbara Walters in 1988. Fonda said, “I would like to say something, not just to Vietnam veterans in New England, but to men who were in Vietnam, who I hurt, or whose pain I caused to deepen because of things that I said or did,” she began. “I was trying to help end the killing and the war, but there were times when I was thoughtless and careless about it and I’m very sorry that I hurt them. And I want to apologize to them and their families.”

Last summer, in Oprah Winfrey‘s magazine, O, Fonda reiterated her apology: “I will go to my grave regretting the photograph of me in an anti-aircraft carrier, which looks like I was trying to shoot at American planes. It hurt so many soldiers. It galvanized such hostility. It was the most horrible thing I could possibly have done. It was just thoughtless.”

Indeed, Fonda’s contrition was manifested when she produced a much-praised movie in 1977, Coming Home, which highlighted the plight of returning American servicemen, especially those who had been wounded. And it wasn’t like this was fashionable at the time.

What did Fonda actually say during her famous radio broadcast from Hanoi? Here is the text, in full. It comes from a transcript made by the U.S. Congress House Committee on Internal Security, Travel to Hostile Areas, HR 16742, 19-25 Sept., 1972, page 7671. Read it carefully; the committee did. It did not find Fonda to be in any way committing treason.

What’s most interesting about it is that Fonda never once blames American soldiers in her speech. She blames then President Richard Nixon for waging a war against the North Vietnamese and using civilians as targets. The anger and resentment toward Fonda and others who went to Hanoi will never be forgotten by those who were in the military or who had relatives who served in Vietnam. But to cloud what really happened with falsehoods only makes the truth less powerful.

Finally, let’s not forget that Jane Fonda is not the person who sent the U.S. military to Southeast Asia or continued to send them there despite countless domestic protests. She was not a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff or President of the United States or a member of his Cabinet. It’s quite possible Fonda’s reputation suffers in part from anger displacement.

Herewith is her famous speech:

“This is Jane Fonda. During my two week visit in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, I’ve had the opportunity to visit a great many places and speak to a large number of people from all walks of life — workers, peasants, students, artists and dancers, historians, journalists, film actresses, soldiers, militia girls, members of the women’s union, writers.

I visited the (Dam Xuac) agricultural coop, where the silk worms are also raised and thread is made. I visited a textile factory, a kindergarten in Hanoi. The beautiful Temple of Literature was where I saw traditional dances and heard songs of resistance. I also saw unforgettable ballet about the guerrillas training bees in the South to attack enemy soldiers. The bees were danced by women, and they did their job well.

In the shadow of the Temple of Literature I saw Vietnamese actors and actresses perform the second act of Arthur Miller’s play All My Sons, and this was very moving to me, the fact that artists here are translating and performing American plays while U.S. imperialists are bombing their country.

I cherish the memory of the blushing militia girls on the roof of their factory, encouraging one of their sisters as she sang a song praising the blue sky of Vietnam, these women, who are so gentle and poetic, whose voices are so beautiful, but who, when American planes are bombing their city, become such good fighters.

I cherish the way a farmer evacuated from Hanoi, without hesitation offered me, an American, their best individual bomb shelter while U.S. bombs fell nearby. The daughter and I, in fact, shared the shelter wrapped in each others arms, cheek against cheek. It was on the road back from Nam Dinh, where I had witnessed the systematic destruction of civilian targets — schools, hospitals, pagodas, the factories, houses, and the dike system.

As I left the United States two weeks ago, Nixon was again telling the American people that he was winding down the war, but in the rubble-strewn streets of Nam Dinh, his words echoed with sinister (words indistinct) of a true killer. And like the young Vietnamese woman I held in my arms clinging to me tightly, and I pressed my cheek against hers, I thought, this is a war against Vietnam perhaps, but the tragedy is America’s.

One thing that I have learned beyond a shadow of a doubt since I’ve been in this country is that Nixon will never be able to break the spirit of these people; he’ll never be able to turn Vietnam, North and South, into a neo-colony of the United States by bombing, by invading, by attacking in any way. One has only to go into the countryside and listen to the peasants describe the lives they led before the revolution to understand why every bomb that is dropped only strengthens their determination to resist.

I’ve spoken to many peasants who talked about the days when their parents had to sell themselves to landlords as virtually slaves, when there were very few schools and much illiteracy, inadequate medical care, when they were not masters of their own lives.

But now, despite the bombs, despite the crimes being created , being committed against them by Richard Nixon, these people own their own land, build their own schools –the children learning, literacy–illiteracy is being wiped out, there is no more prostitution as there was during the time when this was a French colony. In other words, the people have taken power into their own hands, and they are controlling their own lives.

And after 4,000 years of struggling against nature and foreign invaders, and the last 25 years, prior to the revolution, of struggling against French colonialism, I don’t think that the people of Vietnam are about to compromise in any way, shape or form about the freedom and independence of their country, and I think Richard Nixon would do well to read Vietnamese history, particularly their poetry, and particularly the poetry written by Ho Chi Minh.”

“Harry Potter” London Premiere Cost Daniel Radcliffe’s Broadway Show $400K

0

This is how not to succeed in business: Broadway’s “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” had to shut down for two nights last week so Daniel Radcliffe could be in London promoting “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.” The result? The “How to Succeed” box office fell from $1.13 million to $749,000. There were reports that Warner Bros., the “Harry Potter” studio, had bought out the shows. But the box report indicates a week to week loss of $382,866 with no mention of the studio pitch in. That amount of money is nothing to WB or the “Harry Potter” franchise, but on Broadway it’s a fortune. It’s actually more than several shows made last week, including “Master Class,” “Hair,” Ghetto Klown,” and “Jerusalem.” Maybe WB will set that straight with a whisk of a magic wand!

While Radcliffe is back on stage, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 2” is set to break records this weekend. Will it be the biggest box office earner in history, etc? Could be. Advanced ticket sales for “DH2” are already breaking $40 million and that’s before actual people start showing up in theaters. The movie has no competition this weekend. There won’t be a theater that doesn’t have multiple screenings, either. “DH2” has the third widest opening of any movie, behind “Twilight: Eclipse” and “Iron Man 2.” According to boxofficemojo, “DH2” also has 3000 3D screens, where the ticket prices are higher. (Frankly, it’s fine in 2D.)

Tomorrow will be full of announcements and pronouncements, with all the records cited–biggest Friday before a Saturday after which a Sunday follows, etc. Congrats to producer David Heyman, who shepherded this project for a decade, and to the young cast, who were never arrested for anything or did anything particularly embarrassing.

Murdoch Chief Rebekah Brooks Finally Resigns

0

Rebekah Brooks is finally gone. The head of News International has resigned, pressured by the phone hacking scandal. She didn’t quit because Rupert or James Murdoch wanted to. According to Reuters, it was Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who owns 7 percent of News Corp. He told the BBC’s Newsnight show on Thursday night: “For sure she has to go, you bet she has to go…Ethics to me is very important, definitely. I will not tolerate to deal with a company that has a lady or a man that has any sliver of doubt on her or his integrity,” Alwaleed said on the broadcast. So at least we know who’s in charge. Brooks will nevertheless have to appear in Parliament to answer questions with both Murdochs next week. There are reports as well that News Corp will take out full page ads apologizing for the phone hacking scandal. Meanwhile, Rupert Murdoch gave an interview on the matter to the Wall Street Journal, which he owns. According to the New York Times, former staffers of Murdoch’s News of the World are outraged that their livelihoods were sacrificed for Brooks, whom they feel caused the entire scandal. Nine former Murdoch staffers have been arrested in connection with the scandal.

U2 Tour Ending, Group Wants to Sell Its “Claw” Stage

0

U2 is finishing the most successful tour in the annals of everything. So what’s next? They want to sell their stage–that’s right, I mean, everything they used including The Claw, the gigantic device that moved around and looked like one of those metal picker things in 25 cent candy machines. Only really humungous. You can read all about this at http://www.panthermanagement.com/theclaw/news01.php Who doesn’t want a claw in their backyard? Maybe Julie Taymor can use it, or it can be incorporated into “Spider Man” some how.

Here’s a description: “Designed by Bono, Willie Williams and Mark Fisher, the massive stage structure is an industry first. Tried and tested at over 110 concerts in 78 cities in 30 countries, the in-the-round transportable structure was designed to support up to 185 tonnes and engineered to withstand high winds while sustaining seismic loads. While on tour, “the claw” carried a cylindrical video screen able to open to a size of 14,000 square feet and designed to provide fans with the best possible concert viewing experience ever. It was an overwhelming success.” The last stop on the 360 tour is July 3o in Moncton, Canada. Bring your station wagon if you want to drive the Claw home.

McCartney Ready for Yankee Stadium, But Without Billy Joel

0

At first it seemed like we’d be getting a tradition. Billy Joel closed Shea Stadium with Paul McCartney as a guest. Then Paul opened CitiField with Billy as a guest. Two years later, fans might hope that Billy would guest again for McCartney at Yankee Stadium. The ex Beatle is playing two shows there this weekend, Friday and Saturday. Alas, it doesn’t seem to be in the cards. Right now Billy is expected to be a seated guest on Saturday night. He has no plans to play with McCartney from what I’m told. Maybe minds will change before Saturday’s show is over. Right now, those of going on Friday night can look forward to a great show, I’m told, with lots of “new” old songs and, of course, fireworks like crazy during “Live and Let Die.” Check here for a full report on Friday, very late.

Murdoch Will Spin Phone Hacking With Pros, But Not Son-In-Law

0

Rupert Murdoch has hired a crisis PR team in the UK to handle the phone hacking scandal. But according to the Guardian newspaper in Britain, Murdoch did not choose his son in law, Matthew Freud, who runs Freud Communications. Freud is married to Elizabeth Murdoch, daughter of Rupert and brother of James, and is considered a powerhouse in London public relations.

Not picking Freud is a wee bit odd, but hey, everything about this story is strange. Of course it was Freud who seemed to go against his father in law when he told the New York Times in January 2010: “I am by no means alone within the family or the company in being ashamed and sickened by [Fox News chief] Roger Ailes’s horrendous and sustained disregard of the journalistic standards that News Corporation, its founder and every other global media business aspires to.” So maybe it’s best he stays out of this.

According to the Guardian, Murdoch has engaged Edelman Public Relations. Freud, reached for comment by the Guardian, said: “Neither Matthew Freud or the agency was advising NI on this issue, nor had Freud advised on the closure of the News of the World.” The Guardian says Edelman has been on the case since June 20th. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jul/14/phone-hacking-rupert-murdoch

George Harrison Memoir Coming From Wife Olivia

0

George Harrison‘s widow, Olivia Harrison, is set to publish a book this fall from Abrams. It’s going to be published at the same time that HBO broadcasts a two-segment documentary about George from Martin Scorsese called “Living in the Material World.” Olivia has been the most devoted keeper of George’s flame that anyone could ask for. The book should be tremendous. The book is described as “a personal archive of photographs, letters, diaries, and memorabilia from George’s life that reveals the arc of his life, from his guitar-obsessed boyhood in Liverpool, to the astonishment of the Beatles years, to his days as an independent musician and bohemian squire.” Olivia says on the Harrison/Beatles website of the Scorsese movie: “Martin Scorsese’s intuition towards George was evident the first time we met to discuss this project. He sensed what George was about: his music, his strong beliefs, his art, his place in the Beatles story, and his extraordinary life afterwards. Marty’s wonderful film has found all of that and more.”

Emmy Nominations: Jon Cryer, Matt LeBlanc, Gywneth, Mad Men, Modern Family

1

The Emmy nominations are in, and Jon Cryer has his for “Two and a Half Men.” That’s it for that series, with no Charlie Sheen or the series. It’s no surprise. Matt LeBlanc, whose career you might have thought was over, was nominated for playing himself on “Episodes” for Showtime, There are boat loads for “Mad Men,” “Boardwalk Empire,” and “Modern Family,” of course. And some interesting choices. Robert Morse from “Mad Men,” who’s a series regular, got nominated as a guest actor from that show. Meanwhile, the actresses who played Miss Blankenship (Randee Heller) and Dr. Faye (Cara Buono) also got nominated as guests.

In what seems like a first, maybe, since the early days of “Saturday Night Live,” Kristen Wiig got a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a comedy for her work on that show. She should win, hands down. Missing from all the actress noms: Sally Field and Rachel Griffiths, for “Brothers and Sisters,” and Amy Ryan or Jenna Fischer from “The Office.” Indeed, “The Office” cast, other than Steve Carell, got dissed. All the supporting actor noms for comedy, besides Cryer, went to “Modern Family.” It’s hard to imagine, but even James Spader was snubbed for his guest spot on “The Office”–his consolation is that he was hired for the series.

I do think it’s funny that at the end of the massive list of Byzantine nominations–reality show cinematography, prosthetics, use of interactives–is when the writing nominations are finally listed. That’s Hollywood. Two “Mad Men” episodes were nominated– “The Suitcase” and “Blowing Smoke”–“The Suitcase” will win. And in comedy only one from “The Office,” the episode in which Michael leaves. Totally missed was the episode in which Michael proposes to Holly, which should have been nominated and won. Oh well. You can’t have everything.
