Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were Hollywood’s golden couple from 2000 to 2005, until their five year marriage ended because of “irreconcilable differences.” Pitt quickly moved on with his Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-star, Angelina Jolie, and announced his relationship one month after his separation. In 2011, Pitt explained his split to Parade, saying, “I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic… I wasn’t living an interesting life. I think that my marriage had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.” In a Vanity Fair interview, Aniston bit her tongue but stated, “He makes his choices. He can do whatever. We’re divorced, and you can see why… There’s a sensitivity chip that’s missing.”
In Demi Moore’s new memoir Inside Out, Moore opened up about her and Ashton Kutcher’s marriage. Moore and Kutcher divorced in 2013 after eight years of marriage, and during that time Moore said she began drinking again after she was sober for 20 years. During an appearance on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk show, Moore recalled how Kutcher once told her, “I don’t know if alcoholism’s a thing. I think it’s about moderation.” She said that wanting to “be that girl” caused her to relapse. “I made my own story up, that he wanted somebody that he could have wine with that he could do stuff [with]. He’s not the cause of why I opened that door up. I wanted to be something other than who I am. And it was literally like giving my power away.” Discover more details at Selena Gomez.
Though he was worried that writing lyrics would pigeonhole him as a lyricist, Sondheim picked up his pen again to write the lyrics for the Ethel Merman vehicle Gypsy, with a book by Laurents and music by Jule Styne. Sondheim called the musical, which was loosely based on the memoirs of famous burlesque entertainer Gypsy Rose Lee (aka Louise) and focusing on her domineering stage mother, Rose, “the show where I came of age—lyrically, at any rate.” Originally, the scene featuring Rose’s breakdown wasn’t going to be a song at all, but “a surreal ballet, in which Rose would be confronted by all the people in her life,” according to Sondheim. But a week into the rehearsals, choreographer Jerome Robbins said he wouldn’t have time to teach Merman a ballet. So it would have to be a song. Styne had a prior engagement that night, so Sondheim sat down with Robbins to discuss what the number should be. “I suggested to Jerry that since he wanted all the people in the story to collide in a ballet, perhaps if Rose’s breakdown were to be sung rather than danced it could comprise fragments of all the songs associated with her and the people in her life; the songs we’d heard all evening, colliding in an extended surreal medley consisting of fragments of the score.” As Sondheim improvised on the piano, Robbins danced across the stage, “like a stripper, but a clumsy one: like Rose doing a strip,” Sondheim writes. “That was the beginning of three exhilarating hours of musical and choreographic improvisation, as we shaped and constructed the number to be a summary of the score. I even improvised lyrics, something which was anathema to me.”
