Hugh Jackman & Daniel Craig To Hit Broadway Together in ‘A Steady Rain’

Hugh Jackman & Daniel Craig To Hit Broadway Together in ‘A Steady Rain’

Wolverine hunk Hugh Jackman and James Bond stud Daniel Craig will be starring in a new play on Broadway this fall, according to The Post.

The drama, A Steady Rain by Keith Huff, is about two Chicago cops whose lifelong friendship is put to the test when they become involved in a domestic dispute in a poor neighborhood.

This will be Craig’s New York stage debut. In 2004, Hugh won a Tony Award for his role as Peter Allen in the musical The Boy From Oz.

WILL YOU BUY tickets to see two of Hollywood’s hottest hunks on Broadway?

the only time in my life I wish I could have gone to broadway.

# 2

i’ll buy tickets to see hugh and daniel on stage together anytime

# 3

SNOOPY: yeah i know what you mean. :P i really wanted to watch The Boy From Oz and Equus in Broadway. but even if i lived the US tickets are expensive!! waaahhhh!!! *crying*

# 5

Hugh Jackman is hot, can act and sing. I would love to see him on broadway. Unfortunately I also don’t live in the US :(

# 6

@Denise:
there’s a very active message board for jackman called “ozalots” that followed his boy from oz show very extensively in 03-04 and the australian tour.
I’m sure they’ll post pics and stories about this play as well, if you’re interested. hardly the same thing but hey, better than nothing :)
and there’s a boy from oz media reel on youtube, maybe someone will eventually post some parts of this play as well.
still wish he did a musical though.

Good grief, testosterone overload. lol

Oh yes! I saw Boy From Oz and Hugh Jackman was fabulous, not to mention gorgeous. I hope there will be at least one scene where they have their shirts off. I may be getting older, but I still enjoy the view!

Ew i Do not find them attractive at all.

Smart Daniel is best! @ 05/27/2009 at 2:02 pm

DANIEL CRAIG HAS A BETTER BODY! ONLY HE! Hugh is dull

.
LOL!! NICE TOPLESS PICS OF BOTH GUYS JARED…..HUMMMMM
.

Hell YES I’ll buy tickets - for more than one performance. I saw Hugh in “The Boy From Oz” and it’s an experience I’ll never forget. I don’t like Daniel Craig but I’ll make the sacrifice just to see Hugh on stage again. Hugh is incredible!

@JJ:
ikr? it’s so nice to have some equality here. all those bikini clad women for the guys, and some eye candy for the girls (and for some boys..)

Love Hugh-can’t wait to see him in this play. Hope Daniel’s mediocre acting doesn’t ruin the play. Hope it is better than Bab’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

@ra:
did you see daniel craig on “road to perdition”? he was pretty good. and paul newman.. wow. fantastic.

Hugh is so damn HOT. I’d do a (kinda) old man like this anyday LOL

Coffee Fetcher @ 05/27/2009 at 2:24 pm

Heard Daniel Craig’s fugly gf is going to be the official coffee fetcher for this production.

Yes yes yes @ 05/27/2009 at 2:26 pm

Hugh is very very hot, charismatic and so sexy….sigh!

Daniel is ok but doesn’t have charisma like Hugh, but
I’d force myself to watch him, but Hugh is the man.

World's sexiest man @ 05/27/2009 at 2:28 pm

Live in NY and will definitely go to see Hugh-gorgeous, talented and a nice guy!!! Love his witty remarks to the paps.

Hugh Hugh Hugh @ 05/27/2009 at 2:31 pm

Barbara B. was smart to cast Hugh as DC is not as popular as Hugh in the US. Agree Hugh is the charismatic and most talented of the two.

Yum, Yum! I will def be going to see Daniel Craig - he is hotttttt…
de-lish… ; )

Second #4’s comment. Enough said.

@Hugh Hugh Hugh: Agree. Jackman’s charisma can’t be compared with Craig’s. I mean, Hugh Jackman is unique. There is noone like him in Hollywood. He is a veteran on the stage but I think Craig will be good too. He is a good actor, though I’m sure Hugh will steal the show once again. The man knows how to work the stage and the audience. He is born to be up there.

No, Daniel’s not a triple threat - actor, singer, dancer, like Hugh but I don’t believe he’s less talented in the genre of drama. Daniel doesn’t come across as charismatic but that maybe personality more than anything else. Daniel seems more introverted/private than Hugh.

@Denise:

I so empathize with you [and the others]. Factoring in travel from my home to NYC, lodging, cost of the bloody ticket to the show, etc, etc, etc—it’s way beyond my means. I sound petty, but I do feel quite jealous of people who can afford to see Broadway productions.

Cranky Brit @ 05/27/2009 at 3:09 pm

Daniel Craig is a cranky Brit who only smiles when he’s drunk or is pimping a movie. Playing Bond is 95% looks and 5% acting. Hugh can play any part and is a nice person. He is always walking around NYC with his family and is not a stuck up snob like Craig.

@:D:

I don’t think this is the type of a play where he’ll be ‘working’ the audience, so the playing field may be more equal as far as who dominates. I’ve seen a bit of the script and reviews of the show when it was done in Chicago and it seems very intense, gritty and somewhat disturbing. It’s the dramatic role that Hugh really needs to prevent him from being typecast.

Cranky Brit @ 05/27/2009 at 3:13 pm

Daniel Craig is a cranky Brit who only smiles when he is drunk or is selling a movie. Playing James Bond is 95% looks and 5% acting. Hugh can play any part and is a nice person. Hugh is always walking around NYC with his family and is not a stuck up snob.

@Dee:
most of his roles were actually very dramatic. correlli - prisoner. wolverine in x-men, a vilain in deception, the fountain, good guy turns bad in the prestige, the rough drover in australia..
i hope he does a movie musical to show that other side of him that people got a glimpse of at the oscars. cause usually he plays very serious, conflicted individuals.

Agree-not in love with DC and don’t think playing James Bond is a real acting challenge. Bond movies are very formulated and what sells are the attractive actors/actresses, the locations and the action scenes.
Hugh has shown a great deal of versatility in his career and can even host the Oscars!!! I know celebs are not perfect but he certainly comes close and I love looking at him!!!

Hugh has done Broadway-I think playing Peter Allen. I don’t think he wants to do another musical as that is when the “gay” rumors started. I personally think he is totally hetero with mucho testosterone!!!!!

@to 32:
what?? you think he cares about that? we’re talking about a guy that loves singing and dancing and has been seen doing impressions of sandy from “greese” in interviews. he actually said that he took the gay rumours as a compliment because it means he did his job right.
And he always talks about the boy from oz as one of the most fun times he’s ever had.
and btw, he’s also mentioned wanting to do a musical. he was supposed to do houdini on stage, and he’s working on a movie musical adaptation of “carousel”. already has a script ready.
And I personally can’t wait.

I’ll buy tickets on a heart beat!!!

Good point-he did his job so well that people thought he was gay!!! Would love to see him in Houdini. I hope this play is taken seriously and not viewed as the beefcake play. It will be very hard to screw this play up with this casting-the publicity alone will fill the seats. I hope to see Hugh as I think he is a very unique and talented actor.

Is it only rumour that Daniel will play in Broadway? I thought he is preparing and training for 23.Bond, this fall is highest time to jump to work on Bond. There were rumours he will be Thor and it was not truth, there were hints he can play Steve McQuuen and Hadrian and it was not truth. Daniel is not good for Broadway because he doen not sing or YES?

Could be with the legal and money problems that Bond will be postponed. I really don’t care as I think the world can live without a Bond movie for the next couple of years.

@to 35:
the audience may come for the beefcake, but they’ll stay for the great acting :)

the author about the play http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZJRYFVmqwk

so calm down girls and boys, no shirtless hunks LOL!
A table, two chairs and two cups of coffee and two cops talking 90 minutes.
This will sooooo be Daniel’s thing, it’s like A number, a great play which lives only trough a very sensitive and enigmatic kind of acting.
Perfect for both of them to avoid being typecasted as Bond or Wolverine

Thor - Never a possibility.
McQueen - Pitt has signed up (or will).
Sinatra - Not on the cards.
Hadrian - No
I Lucifer - No

This play does not have singing in but some dramatic fight scenes and a death. Not saying who.
Very intense two man play, something Daniel is used to.
He garnished rave reviews when he did “A Number” in 2002.

I think Daniel will shine and Hugh will have to pull it back to prevent the OTT side he has.

@Coffee Fetcher:
Satsuki, bring me a coffe, and please strong coffe, hurry!!!! šup šup!

Sorry but Hugh has no bad side and he is a nice guy too!! Hopefully Daniel will leave the “icy Bond” stare at home.

Thanks for the link!
It hilarious that the writer say on the end of that interview that it would be cool seeing Daniel Craig playing the cop and that his wife would be sooo happy.
Well Keith, not only your wife!!

But that Bond stare is so multi-dimensional!! Ha, Ha, Ha!!! Hope acting lessions are included in his contract! I don’t think Hugh has anything to worry about.

smart to 42 @ 05/27/2009 at 4:02 pm

in this case I am really wondering, but I don’t think Hugh is any handsome and extra an actor.
Daniel is better dandy, Hugh is not James Bond, an agent 007 like Daniel. I hope Hugh will have properly kicked ass or hit nose.

Could be with the legal and money problems that Bond will be postponed. I really don’t care as I think the world can live without a Bond movie for the next couple of years.
___________________________________________________
according to the sun may 22 -michael wilson says that work has started on the next bond film -see the site listed. which could mean that filming could start next year. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/2442593/Welsh-singer-Duffy-could-be-in-line-to-sing-the-next-Bond-theme.html

as for waiting for a couple of years for the next bond movie; no way. i’m not willing to have the same situation that existed after license to kill; where bond fans had to wait 6 years for another bond.

smart to 42 @ 05/27/2009 at 4:08 pm

I hope Hugh will have properly kicked ass or hit nose in drama fight with Daniel. Daniel is better fighter and his Bond is a proper killer!!
Daniel- do! on him! properly! kick him! properly!! kick kop him!!

are you really that stupid or are you just pretending to be that dull?

It’s a play, two people sitting at a table and talking about life.
Nobody has to sing or “kick ass”

@to smart:
god i hope this person is pretending, and not really that stupid.

Now there is a job for Satsmonkey-the 2 cops can kick her a**-but only if they can find the right end!

smart to 50 @ 05/27/2009 at 4:16 pm

according to poster 42 saying:
“This play does not have singing in but some dramatic fight and a death.”
Hey, so that means something else?? I see fighter bloody Brad Pitt !
Kill kill kill!

It sounds like a Bond fan who has been kicked in the head a few times!!

re : the play @ 05/27/2009 at 4:19 pm

Well as long as Hugh leaves his tights/glitter at home and Daniel manages to get back the “edge/angst” he had many years ago (that the Bond films have dulled), re: “A Number” (2002) we should be in for a treat.
I for one will get a ticket.

oh blimey @ 05/27/2009 at 4:21 pm

I hope the promotion for this play won’t turn into a Jackman/Craig Competition Fest but can see it happening as to “who has the better body never mind the play.”

Let’s hope the Broadway promotion from Babs and Co is a little more tasteful.

hehe you talk about YOU again? you need kick not only head but also ass, nose, broke bones, kick teeth, hit eyes, tear hair!

What a great default picture of the two!

great decision @ 05/27/2009 at 4:28 pm

I think it’s a great decision from Daniel to do this.
Back to basics, back to the one pure art form - theatre.

I think with all the Bond stuff and back to back other films and with them not being so good, he might get back in touch with how he started and with skills that hopefully are dormant and not lost in him.

Remember Babs is the one who makes the Bond films-with these 2 she will have to try very hard to mess it up. Like a lot of Broadway plays if there is a big name starring then it really doesn’t matter if it is good or bad. Unfortunately Broadway has been hurting financially (like everyone else) and putting big celebs in mediocre plays is the only way to make money.

I don’t think it is the art form that will inspire him; I think competing with Hugh Jackman will make anyone rise to the occasion.

Well lets hope Daniel doesn’t “rise” to much. He might knock the table over.

Ex on Broadway @ 05/27/2009 at 4:37 pm

It should be interesting-Sienna Miller-Daniel Craig’s ex is going to be on Broadway in October. I wonder if he will go to see her play? I wonder if she will go see his???

Sienna never was his “ex” if anything she was a two/three night romp when he was seeing Satsuki (when she was still based in L.A.) and that has never been proved.
Oddly enough though, Satsuki did move in with him in London shortly thereafter.

Chili Pepper @ 05/27/2009 at 4:42 pm

I’m sorry….ewwwww….Jackman’s body looks weird. Craig’s face does nothing for me. Not blown away by this at all.
Next?

go to tom or brad @ 05/27/2009 at 4:48 pm

@Chili Pepper:
then go to the Tom, Brad, George, Matt or Leonardo thread

Next?

Yeah, Hugh sucked as Wolverine.

Once a cheater always a cheater. From what I have seen of DC’s present gf she is a real dog who is very overexposed for doing nothing. Maybe he should hook up with his ex as she is much better looking.

Agree-like everything else Broadway has certainly become “commercialized”. Using big names has been the only way theaters can draw crowds to plays. The only other method that has been successful has been to remake movies into plays (ie Legally Blond, Shrek). I know this is exciting to see two beefcake stars on one stage but it is not the pure art form it used to be.

Yeah, Daniel sucked as Bond in QoS.

So this way looks drama fight and a death on Broadway??
Eeeee I am dissapointed there will not be a proper fight between Danny and haired ugly Hugh Jackman.So why people are crazy of wanting an expensive ticket? to see a boredom at the theatre??
I wouldn’t spend neither a pound for boredom. there sitting and talking men and we listening to them. I always hated theatres and I almost die when I went with my class to the theatre.

@to 60:
you’re talking about a tony award winner. and another actor who, as I understand, got good reviews for theatre work in london.
there is far more to them than “beefcake”. you haven’t even seen the play yet, but you already say it won’t be “pure art form”?
so much negativity from the get go.

Hugh sucked worse though.

jackie black @ 05/27/2009 at 5:20 pm

I love Daniel in mostly everything he does, (with exception of a few projects) but he will really need to get his American cop accent down firmly in place and sound authentic and credible.
Daniel’s American accent in Tomb Raider was too forced and just totally su*ked …badly! Barbara for sure will get Daniel gets the best voice coach in the industry to work that American accent into place.

I agree Hugh is an accomplished actor but I think the majority of people will see this play to see Hugh and James Bond.

Grow up, gerkhin! I can comment wherever the hell I want, about whatever the hell I want! Did I make you cry or something? You just keep busy making your multiple posts under numerous names, and I’ll do my own thing, too. Capiche?

Read carefully-I live in NYC and was discussing what Broadway has done to be financially successful. Having the producers of James Bond make a Broadway play is a commercial move. In these economic times Broadway is doing anything it can to make money. You need to grow up and realize the “pure art form” is long gone. People are going to see this play to see Wolverine and James Bond. And it could be a terrible play but it will be successful financially.

@to 72:
true. but many will also see it cause they’re fans of his stage work.
and hey, if it’s good, those who came to see “wolverine” and “bond” will have gotten to see a different side of them, and experience the theatre a little. maybe it’ll draw them back to broadway to see other plays. time will tell, of course.. fingers crossed.
I, unfortunately, won’t be able to find out in person.

to snoopy @ 05/27/2009 at 5:39 pm

Sure woman will go to this play for the pure art form-not the beefcake!! What planet do you live on?

His accent in Defiance was horrible too.

Yes, just like the Bond and Wolverine movies-terrible but they made a boatload of money. That’s Hollywood (and Broadway) for you!!!

Just read that the play will be after Labor day and Daniel has definately signed on.

@to 72:
so? if it’s commercially successful, that’s a bad thing? what, plays can’t make money and be good at the same time?
and you speak for every single person going to see this play? you know for a fact that everyone will see it for “wolverine” and “bond”?

@to snoopy:
yeah yeah. no female theatre goers go to see plays because of the acting. they’re all shallow. what planet do YOU live on?

===================================================

Yes totally agree there. Wolverine and QoS were hardly “acting” stand outs but made money.
Of course Babs and Broadway know their business well.
Mega money for this play and attention for Broadway, Babs and the stars.
The “pure art form” being mentioned I think refers to the “true thespians” who act in plays on a constant basis (Globe Theatre etc)but have little commercial success.
I do hope that Jackman and Craig pull off something worthwhile.

quid pro quo @ 05/27/2009 at 5:55 pm

so babs pimps out dan for b/way and dan pimps out his gonk to babs for work? charming.

2011 it is!! @ 05/27/2009 at 5:59 pm

MGW confirms 2011 release date for Bond 23.

Well put!! Hey she knows good beefcake when she sees it-and the beefcake makes a lot of money for her!!

No in this case I don’t think men and women are going for the acting. They will see this play to see (as most sites have described them) a stud and a hunk who happen to be famous.

his gonk
===================================================

I think you refer to Satsuki?
Yes, it seems like a nice cosy deal there.

cosy? It makes me want to barf. But the more the gf is involved in his work the more it makes me believe it is more of a business relationship.

=====================================================

I failed to put cozy in inverted commas, sorry.
I did mean it sarcastically and yes, business and more business.
I guess there will be people who will say love and work can mix but Satsuki’s more “profiled’ appearence now in his work life really seems interesting.
I wonder if her movie “Last Night” will be tied into this? Free popcorn (or sick bag) for it if you buy a ticket to Daniel’s play?

love me, hire my gonk @ 05/27/2009 at 6:36 pm

Their relationship in a nutshell.

#89 - there are many people (men and women) who were blown away by Hugh’s performance in his previous Broadway work and that’s why they’ll go see A Steady Rain (if, in fact, he signs on). There is so much more to Hugh Jackman than his appearance. He’s a hunk who is loaded with talent and incredible stage presence.

Perfection with words!!!

yes folks @ 05/27/2009 at 6:55 pm

5-6 week run.
Craig - Joey.
Jackman - Denny.

__________________________________________________
i totally agree with you. in this economy broadway does need to make money. maybe having daniel craig and hugh jackson will bring it in for them. the pure “art form” is all well and good but i have to tell you that the prices are way off the mark. i put something on the order of 532 dollars on my visa for 4 tickets to a musical during easter break. then the actors, at the end of the show, asked us to contribute more money to some sort of fund. there wasn’t even a military discount for my brother.

then the actors, at the end of the show, asked us to contribute more money to some sort of fund.
===================================================

Now you see, that is tacky. I’d tell them to stuff it, but that’s me.

i couldn’t tell them to stuff it because that would have been rude. but it sure irriated me. not only that, but the seats in this theatre were uncomfortable and they didn’t have proper seating for my brother’s friend. he lost his leg in iraq and had to stand in the back for part of the performance because of lack of leg room.

for daniel; i’ll be booking my flight out right after i get back from nyc next week!

I agree Hugh is extremely talented in movies and on Broadway but people in the US know Craig as Bond. The producer of Bond is using Craig to promote the Bond franchise and to make money. I don’t think she is using him in the play to promote the pure art of acting.

I live in NYC and am disgusted at some of the prices they charge on Broadway for poor to mediocre seats. What is sad is that most die hard fans of Jackman and Craig will probably never be able to afford to see them as prices are so high. I laugh at shows like this as the big celebs are only in these plays for a few weeks, get some publicity for themselves then they stick unknowns in the roles and the big stars are never seen again.

====================================================WeWell no, I did mean that metaphorically and would not have donated.
I’m sorry to hear about your brothers’ friend. Not cool but many of these theatres are old school but should provide decent seats for the physically challenged. Front row he should have got really.

=====================================================

Agree but I think the two of them will see the run through maybe give or take a night off here and there.
As Bond now will not be released until 2011, yes, his appearance in this play will keep him in the forefront certainly. That and being part of charity campaigns dotted around the place.
Gotta love the PR side don’t ya?

That and considering his non Bond movies have not done so well, this will make him (if he is good) an actor can do something OTHER than Bond.
All planned out, pure PR.

Given he gets decent reviews. Daniel and Babs’ PR machine keeps chugging along (of course with the gonk hanging on for dear life). Yes it’s true love-hire me even if I am a glorified gopher and s**t or I will stop being your slave.

I know Daniel is her present golden goose but I always remember how disrespectful they were to Pierce-the poor man didn’t even know he was being replaced. I think the 3 of them deserve each other-the golden goose, the user and the gonk.

If I lived in the US I would certainly go and see Daniel in this play. Not that keen on Hugh. It sounds like a great play and with the both of them, I am sure it will be a success. I am pleased for Daniel as I know he is only happy when he is working. I agree that Babs has a thing for Daniel (don’t blame her one bit) and she will do almost anything for him (even hire Mitchell) and fund a play for him. Good on you Babs.

=====================================================

LOl, well put, however, I think Pierce had a whiff but nevertheless, it wasn’t the nicest way out but Pierce apparently was having run in’s with them and his salary increase demand was too much. Always three sides to every story, both sides then the truth right? Daniel msut always remember how the reason he was brought into the role could be the way he leaves too. Pierce was Babs darling at the time too. (maybe not as much as her Danny Wanny though).
As for the Gonk hanging on for dear life, what a visual, LOL!
I think of the toy that hangs from a mirror and swings around.
Yes, they all deserve each other.

As Bond now will not be released until 2011, yes, his appearance in this play will keep him in the forefront certainly. That and being part of charity campaigns dotted around the place.

where is the information listed that says bond won’t be released until 2011?

@smart to 42: HA! I’m not so sure Bond can actually kick WOLVERINE’S ass. I think what is going to happen is exactly the opposite…

@EL: Yeah. And I guess you are from another planet, right?

Well Wolverine and Bond are fictional characters, let’s not forget. ;)

translation for 2011 interview @ 05/27/2009 at 9:19 pm

Interviewer: But when will the film be released, will we have to wait until 2011?
Wilson: Yes, I can confirm that. We need more time and don’t want to stress things.

I’d love to see these 2 on stage together…

______________________________________________________
thanks for the translation. well it’s ok. quantom of solace came out in 2008 so waiting three years isn’t bad.

cosy? It makes me want to barf. But the more the gf is involved in his work the more it makes me believe it is more of a business relationship.
______________________________________________________
i wonder if the girl friend is going to be involved in the project as well. i can’t just see her sitting “pretty” doing nothing. maybe she’ll be babs assistant.

Yes that has been mentioned over a page ago on this thread. Someone posted that Satsuki is involved at a high level.

Love me, hire my Gonk.

Don’t think we will ever see the gf “sitting pretty” as she is a very ugly woman.

Hugh > Cro Magnon

And a response to that was that other reliable sources say she is very quick in fetching coffee. I am sure coffee fetching is a very high level job but her title will sound much more important.

Yes well we all know that nepotism hides behind big titles dont we?
Probably what Satsuki was scribbling down at Nobu that night…what she wants her title to be.
Seems Babs is bending over backwards for Gonk face.

HUGH JACKMAN! :”>

I hope I could watch this. But I couldn’t. :| :(

@Lo:

I KNOW. :( :( :(

gf on low level job @ 05/27/2009 at 11:04 pm

@to 118:
GF’s typical day at the theatre:
11am start- Coffee run. gf gets coffee for herself. Perhaps gets coffee for barbara, daniel and maybe hugh if she feels like it. It really is up to her.
12pm; looks through various restaurant menus to see what she wants to eat and where the restaurants are located.
1pm- takes lunch orders and goes out to walk, and work, the streets of NYC, making sure to go shopping (”charge it!!”) along the way. She shops until she drops, then gf picks up the lunch orders.
3pm- Comes back to theatre, delivers lunch to starving actors/crew/ Barbara, gf then takes her ’security guard’ stroll through the theatre, patrols the backstage area, makes herself look busy. gf shines her security badge and perhaps Daniel’s *** while she is at it. LOL- (couldn’t resist that one! )
4:pm- gf’s quitting time.

if that’s going to be the gf typical day then i want her job. i wouldn’t mind having her benefits as well. and when you think about why daniel and sats mix business with pleasure. the couple that works together stays together.

the couple that works together stays together.
======================================================
If they need work to maintain their relationship then I feel sorry for them as it seems to me that they can’t survivie without that element there. Can’t they be on their own once in awhile?
Even on St Barths it lookes as if they were courting Andy Cohen for something.
Seems to be that someone of that relationship needs to watch over someone else.

Daniel Craig is ugly, with a capital “U.” Hugh, on the other hand, is sublime!

@to 125:

I already applied LOL

OMG i wish i could go see it! Hugh and Daniel in the same play?? *faint*

I’d fly from Australia to see this play if they were naked!

WOW WOW WOW!!! I’m there……!!!!!!

Olem Ayduk & Walter Mischel who wrote the chapter summarized: Sometimes stupid behavior in smart people may arise from faulty expectations, erroneous beliefs, or merely a lack of motivation to enact control strategies even when one has them. But sometimes it is an inability to regulate one’s affective states and the behavioral tendencies associated with them that leads to stupid and self-defeating behavior.
Sounds like a perfect description of the “Haters,” except I highly doubt that they even come close to being “smart” lol
Spending all their time hating the gf even though it is “stupid and self-defeating behavior.” lol

Craig looks so small and puney compared to Jackman.
It will take me to two days to drive to NY, but I’m definitely there.
I have to see for myself these two on stage together.
I am 85% certain that Jackman will out shine Craig.
Jackman has proven himself to be a great dramatic actor as well, and while Craig is/was a great dramatic actor, I think he’s completely lost his edge and I think Jackman will definitely tower over Craig.
I’m a fan of both actors, but if I had to choose, I will wait to get Jackman’s authograph, because I know he loves and appreciates his fans and takes time for them, while Craig does not.
I’ll let everyone know how it was and post any pictures I get of either Jackman and/or Craig.

I will make the effort to go, it’s only a 1 hours flight (provided I’m home)….. with no faulty expectations.

I’d definitely go and see the play if I were living in the US :(

For those of you who will be going…ENJOY! And tell us all about it!

I think this might be a chance for Dan to go back to his roots and get his edge back. It’ll be a challenge for both actors to play Chicago cops, but if they pull it of, it’ll be an amazing performance.

Here is a copy of that interview with Michael G Wilson about Bond 23 (courtesy of mi6.co.uk)

So, 2011 it is…

very obvious @ 05/28/2009 at 6:45 am

I think it’s very obvious by now that Daniel wants Satsuki by his side 24/7. Love her or hate her it’s not going to change a damn thing. He wants her there so she’s there, people are just going to have to except that’s what HE wants and deal with it. Let’s face it her being there isn’t hurting anyone or effecting any of your lives is it??

very obvious @ 05/28/2009 at 7:16 am

Just to add to what i’ve said, i honestly think that Daniel can not cope with being alone, he seems to absolutely hate being alone and thats why Satsuki is with him 24/7 so he’s never alone. It’s just my opinion after reading interviews and atricles where he’s talked about how lonely film sets can be, how he hates being lonely and misses family and friends.

As long as he is happy……….

As long as he is happy……….

As long as he is happy……….

If you think Daniel Craig is ugly you should see his gf-she is looks like an ugly monkey. She is supposed to be a movie producer but the only thing I have seen her do is get her ugly puss face in every picture that is taken of DC.

Very interesting development. Love the gonk name for the gf-it sounds like her-an inanimate object that has no identity but hangs on to people for dear life!!!

I used to think that Daniel was using the gf for whatever he demanded-now I can see Babs is the one in control and when she says jump-he jumps. When Danny tells the monkey gf to jump she jumps-my isn’t love wonderful. I do think the gf has slipped lower on the totem pole and she knows it.

Yes I think Hugh will outshine Craig. I think Hugh has proven he can act in any genre but Craig’s movies (outside of Bond) have been bombs. Physically Hugh has a stronger presence and will make Craig look puny on stage.

laineygossip @ 05/28/2009 at 9:13 am

Yesterday she called him a pig. Wazup with dat?

Thanks for the link. I find it interesting that “May” be 2011 release. This makes it seem that it is not a concrete release date. I think that will be Daniel’s last Bond film as he has not aged well and I can’t see him looking virile and youthful past 2011 (sorry but I do love him as an actor). I think Babs is having him do this play because his other works have been major bombs and she is squeezing whatever she can out of her current golden goose. I really don’t think she gives a crap about him returning to his roots.

Humble Hugh @ 05/28/2009 at 9:25 am

Hugh is more pleasent that is why he has more of a presence. Craig looks like a scared paranoid puppy half the time and that he is doing us a favour with his presence. Hugh I humble.

I agree-Craig is a cranky Brit who thinks he’s royalty. Too bad his latest movies have been ROYAL bombs.

Love Hugh-he walks around NYC with his family and is never a snob.

I posted the Lainey comment — I could not believe she called him a pig. I wonder why she changed her mind?

Just read the Lainey comment???? She does not seem very interested in Daniel (but who can blame her he has not been very nice to the public) lately. I found it interesting that people are more interested in the daughter than the gf. I think everyone has got the gf’s number-she is not a real movie producer and is just a fetcher of coffee who f***s a celeb. Besides I think the gf has been so overexposed that most people are just sick of her fugly face.

But Lainey always liked Daniel. I wonder what happened for her to change her mind?

I agree Daniel Craig is very ugly. With Hugh Jackman opposite him maybe they should call the play ‘BEAUTY & the BEAST’… LOL!

Anyway, I’m in if that actually happens. I love everything Hugh does. He is talented. gorgeous and such a good guy.

very obvious @ 05/28/2009 at 10:15 am

You can’t honestly expect Daniel to dump the woman he loves just because some of his fans have taken a dislike to her, that’s unfair and totally ridiculous. If she was such a bad/negative influence on his life and career she wouldn’t be there, please give the guy some credit.

Why does it always come back to discussing his gf and relationship?
The past few posts are discussing Hugh Jackman then all of a sudden it’s about Daniel’s gf again! Can we please just get to the topic at hand. The tread is not titled Daniel’s gf. Let him live his personal life how and with whom he chooses.

Gossip site @ 05/28/2009 at 10:35 am

It’s a gossip site-people can discuss anything they want to.

Overexposure!! The guy was everywhere when he was p**ping Bond and Definace. I also agree people are sick of the phony gf who does nothing but pose-they have become the Heidi and Spencer of the older crowd-nauseating.

no satsuki mentioned? @ 05/28/2009 at 10:41 am

sorry but i think lainey is sick of him and the gf!!
I see lainey did not mention satsuki or babs being there!

HA!!!

I don’t think anyone expects the guy to dump his ugly gf but the comments are very funny! I hope they don’t break up as the gf provides a lot of entertainment-he is so handsome and she is so ugly-I think they should be in Beauty and the Beast.

what does your comment is awaiting moderation?

Cool, it seems to be a nice poject. I’m a Hugh fan.

His last movies have been bombs, he’s arrogant, his gf is hideous looking and arrogant…….why would anyone want to write something nice about him. When Bond goes away the interest in DC goes away. The only reason he is getting a lot of attention from this play is because Hugh Jackman is in it. I don’t think it would be very big news if it only starred DC.

I think Lainey was reprimanded from his office regarding the comment made by them stating that Satsuki’s father said “they are not married..just yet” apparently after the QoS premiere.
I think her father did NOT say that and caused problems for them. Libel simple as that.
Lainey then has changed her view on them since that time and I see passive aggressive comments now.
Satsuki’s not even mentioned now unless Lainey has been instructed not to mention her or their relationship again after the Oscars as she was less than kind about Satsuki there.

The pig comment could be taken both ways. I think she meant it in the sense of him being such a sexy dirty animal that by saying cutsie things to his daughter does a person cease to be a sexy dirty animal? Can he be both?
New pic of Ella there too I see. Boy have things changed regarding his daughter. One minute a complete no-no for any board to mention now this.
Definately St Barths was her introduction.

i think lainey has zero respect for daniel now as he is with someone she knows is arrogant and self centered.
i think lainey knows of satsuki’s reputation and demeanor and her jumped up view of herself as “producer’.
lainey can see through her and her motives, pity daniel can’t. as long as daniel has someone toorganize himself and a regular f*ck, i dont think she’ll go anywhere.
yes, i think he’s that shallow or just can’t see the truth.

No, the title should be “Gorgeous and the Gonk”.

:)

Just to add to what i’ve said, i honestly think that Daniel can not cope with being alone, he seems to absolutely hate being alone and thats why Satsuki is with him 24/7 so he’s never alone. It’s just my opinion after reading interviews and atricles where he’s talked about how lonely film sets can be, how he hates being lonely and misses family and friends.
==================================================

So Satsuki is better than no-one then? You may have a point.
I mean if I was really starving I’d eat anything rather than take the time to look for a filet mignon and get more hungry.
Same concept.

Wrong on Craig @ 05/28/2009 at 1:52 pm

Yes Hugh Jackman is handsome in a pretty boy way. But Craig absolutely smolders. He is sex on legs. His work in The Mother and Layer Cake is wonderful. And Casino Royale was great. He is just not that well known for his work here in the states. Compare that to Jackman’s work in Australia. I thought Ausatralia was pretty weak.

Yes I guess she is better than no one!! I like your steak comparison!!

Regarding Lainey-don’t think it had anything to do with the father’s comment-that isn’t considered libel. Agree with other people that this couple is overexposed and having the gf (who does nothing) in the spotlight 24/7 is getting a bit weird. I just think people believe he is riding on the Bond wave and producing crap while he’s on it.

LAINEY'S PULP FICTION @ 05/28/2009 at 2:56 pm

it was just a reference to the dialogue in pulp fiction. the two scenes are related, the “i love you honey bunny” and the “pigs” conversation. if you haven’t seen it in a while, maybe you should rewatch pulp fiction. it’s a great film. watch these to help you sort it out.

@ 05/28/2009 at 9:36 am I posted the Lainey comment — I could not believe she called him a pig. I wonder why she changed her mind?
____________________________________________________
i think it’s because lainey saw what happened at st barts and other places; and also heard more than we did. her comment may be reaction to his public behavior. let’s face it, you have to admit that what daniel allowed to happen at st barts was pretty bad. with his daughter there no less.

You can’t honestly expect Daniel to dump the woman he loves just because some of his fans have taken a dislike to her, that’s unfair and totally ridiculous. If she was such a bad/negative influence on his life and career she wouldn’t be there, please give the guy some credit.
______________________________________________________as some mentioned before this is a gossip site; people can talk about the gf if they like. if the gf chooses to be every daniel is, if she chooses to be photographed with him at every possible venue then she is fair game. that’s what happens when you’re the gf of a celebrity.

also , there are people on this board who do not like her and never will. yes they are together, but some people just don’t believe that they are the loving couple the red carpet phots would have us believe.
as one of my friends puts it; how much of what you see with daniel and satsuki is real and how much of it is just for show; business purposes only.

Yes I think St. Barths was an eye-opener for everyone. To me it showed how he really is a big publicity w**re who didn’t care if it was at the expense of his daughter’s privacy. It also showed me that he and the gf do stage their private life when the cameras are around. I do think his “relationship” with the gf is and arrangement vs. a love affair.

I think Lainey like a lot of fans feel he’s turned into a diva who expects everyone to treat him and his gf like royalty. I think he is a good actor but his personal side is becoming less and less attractive.

intelligent head @ 05/28/2009 at 4:58 pm

There is nothing new under the sun as I see here. I would also to say that St. Barth’s holiday was the most ridiculus thing and Daniel felt nervous there, like he would inside bomb. I saw s pic with Daniel and others looking at get-in-ass paps and Satsuki looked thrilled and smiled while others were quite angry. Yes, she is the woman who plans, is calculative in this way and agree with poster saying that she wants thinng seemed perfectly for people. I always have a theory why she is a such woman with these manners. Her problem is in her young ages, when she was a teenager, God knows what she was nature and what she lived. If she is ugly for us so she was ugly for schoolmates and other teenagers, she always had a monkey mouth, bags under eyes and horse teeth, also she was not attractive for boys.
It could explains her behavior and relation to Daniel. Only people who were unliked by people so they have need to show others: Look at me, look at my ring, look at my bf, he is Daniel Craig, James Bond, look at my clothes and life style and show to schoolmates: look I did well. I think she was unliked and that is why she is a such nature now, she went to Los Angeles from Oregon to make a career in film industry and go high up. I saw a pic where Satsuki attended Daniel on the set during shooting of Munich and she was thrilled of him and looked like a horse with popped out eyes and looked she just was sticking on him, ok, but with popped out eyes? She saw that he works with Spielberg? Knew she that Daniel is in procces of casting on Bond? And more Daniel is a man with beautiful eyes and no surprise Satsuki was thrilled of him, but I must laugh because she looked like a horse smilling monkey with popped out eyes when she looked at Daniel. Could she face normally at least? and what Daniel? he liked it all? From the beginning it’s funny and continues it to this day.

RE: the Lainey PIG comment in the Daniel/Hugh post….Lainey says whatever she feels like. And she will skewer a celebrity just because she wants to. She is very sarcastic, extremely blunt and she has a Sharp tongue. Sharp as a knife, even sharper. And she says what she thinks… and does not care who likes it.

Lainey does not hardly, if ever, mention the girlfriend anymore in any of her posts about Daniel. And she has been leaning away from him, quite critical and nasty in her latest posts about Daniel and his ill fitting track suit .
I am also thinking that this ‘dirty pig” comment from her could also be leading up to one of her infamous/famous Blind items… I don’t know which one …maybe one that is out there already.. or one that is coming up.

intelligent head @ 05/28/2009 at 5:15 pm

i think it’s getting worse and worse for Daniel’s image, fortunately he is preparing for Bond and he has other worries, we will be soon full of news of 23.bond and wait what will happen, what will be the title and who is involving to cast. But it is ridiculus that Barbara gave Satsuki work, firstly Craig Mitchell and now this. Satsuki will be a assistant for producer Babs, she helped her with finding script, but what Michael Higgs? I have a feeling he is involved into Bond work less and it’s Babs who more organizes. There are fans saying that work on Bond should rather begin in the spring or early summer of 2010 and Bond could be ready for 2011 release. and Michael has the same opinion.
Why? Is there something wrong ? too rush? why they all suppose that Bond should begin later? I think if Bond starts in January of 2010, there will be problems, surely, I feel it in my bones.

Has anyone found out if the gf was really given work by Babs? It sounds like it is all speculation. It would surprise me if Babs did, given the woman’s lack of experience. I guess like someone said “hire me, hire my gonk”! I guess Babs is the only one Daniel can pull the hire the gonk routine on-no one outside the Bond franchise is allowing it.

intelligent head to 187 @ 05/28/2009 at 5:42 pm

Babs gave Satsuki the present- Craig Mitchell, now work. Surely, because Satsuki didn’t work 5 years since she is with Daniel, Babs knows Satsuki has no work and that is why she gave her work.
Babs does not act like a professional, Bond and staff are a family business for her and she has no problem to get Satsuki to work on Bond. I am a bit angry of Babs because she acts not so properly professionally and she is able to add Craig Mitchell. I have read when Daniel appeared on Bond casting so Babs -when she saw him she was in love with him. She has not own children and that is why she cares for other people with mother’s care. I am wondering what her brother thinks about Craig Mitchell’s character.

intelligent head @ 05/28/2009 at 6:08 pm

Hmmmmm….. Robert Pattinson is shirtless too..Now I don’t know who is hotter if Daniel or Robert…Why I am amazed of English guys?
They are classy, sexy and well dressed, and good lovers. But Hugh Jackman has a haired body to me, but it does not mind, it depends if a man is sexy or not with haired body, I have to say Hugh is not sexy even he has trained body, he looks always like a sweet boy who tries to be rough. It is exactly what I think about him, he tries to show he is a GREAT man, he shows to others he is sexy and beautiful and he loves his title The most beautiful man of world. he is no gillette man like is Daniel Craig, he always is sweet. Hugh’s face and body actually makes me a bit puke!

___________________________________________________
ok re libel: i had to ask my boss on this one. he’s a lawyer who deals with a lot of libel cases. here’s how it is; the united states supreme court has ruled that public officials, celebrities etc could win a suit for libel ONLY IF they could demonstrate publishers’ “knowledge that the information was false” or that it was published “with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not.

Defamation law in the United States is much less plaintiff-friendly than its counterparts in European and the Commonwealth countries, due to the enforcement of the First Amendment. Defenses to libel that can result in dismissal before trial include the statement being one of opinion rather than fact or being “fair comment and criticism,” though neither of these are imperatives on the US constitution.

Lainey weigh in.... @ 05/28/2009 at 7:45 pm

@to 182:
…..ONLY IF they could demonstrate publishers’ “knowledge that the information was false” or that it was published “with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not.
______________________________________________________
Publishing with reckless disregard for the truth is probably what they would hang on Lainey, if at all. I believe with Lainey, she was so hot to ‘print” they were getting married, (like it was impending …or at some point soon) that she may have added the ‘not yet” bit at the end of the ’supposed’ quote by the father. Or maybe she did not check the quote out to make sure the father did say it…
If there is a case, It is likely that she received a call or tap on the shoulder by someone connected to the girlfriend and/or her family especially if the family was swamped with reporters on their lawn. I can not say with absolute certainty that there is a libel case at all regarding this situation or not.

But devout Lainey readers can see the complete 180 degree trunaround on Lainey’s attitude regarding Daniel and also that the girlfriend in not mentioned or ‘gushed over’ at all anymore, where it used to be a regular occurrance.

It is much easier to prove that Lainey had ‘reckless disregard for the truth and whether it was true or not”.. what was her fact checking ? If she did any at all? her sources, etc..
The ‘reckless disregard for the truth” is held up to a certain legal standard and depending on if she did/did not meet the legal requirements for that standard.

Defenses to libel will also include that the statement at the heart of the case is the truth.

@re lainey - libel:
Thanks for clarifying, I had not heard anything, but it is interesting to finally see a bit of why all of a sudden there was the Lainey Blackout (I call it that) of the gf and Daniel ‘loved up/marriage/” posts…
I think either she was really trying to push the whole wedding thing with them,and she just went too far (the libel charge) or sometimes the gossip magazines and online sites will try to shake things up and force a comment, they will make explosive statements just to see if the celebrity will come forward with some information about it,
affirming the statement or denial of it.

So maybe this is why so many in the industry do not even think they are engaged.!

@to 186:
No, it is just a rumor.

So maybe this is why so many in the industry do not even think they are engaged.!

Yes that feeling has been there since Day One and rightly so.

lol, that looks like her in her poodle outfit. look she is wearing a poodle skirt..lolol.

Hugh Jackman is so talented, funny, sexy and genuine. I wish he was James Bond too. Daniel Craig is a good actor, just I don’t like him as James Bond, he’s too serious, moody. Hugh Jackman I just adore though, he can do anything, including steal the Oscars from all the A-Listers in the front row.

i’ve also wondered if they are really engaged. the thought i have is that daniel gave her the diamond ring to keep her quiet and put an end to constant asking him to marry her. he doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to marry

To Guinness at #195. I am interested because I used to read your comments at D2D and was wondering what happened to you. This site can be bad at times, there’s a lot of Mitchell haters, but you can say most things you want to. Just loved your picture of DC and the frog. Made me laught to see it.

to 204 and 207 @ 05/28/2009 at 10:48 pm

@to 204:
204 and 207- you both are right.
It is more of a “OK, here is the ring, will you Shut Up now ?” ring and not an engagement ring. Unfortunately, that backfired. Giving her the ring did not shut her up in the least. it probably just made things worse for Daniel, but like you said, after 4 (?) years…he is in no rush.

Love your pic-the troll has better taste than the monkey!! Love the poodle skirt!!
To 202 I had asked the question if it was confirmed that Babs gave her work. Were you answering that question?
To 209 yes he is definitely slow rolling things. I think he just keeps her around so he can concentrate on his work and not have to be bothered by the dating scene. The man’s priority is his work (besides his daughter) and I think Babs is probably a higher priority in his life than the gf. He’s smart to keep her around-he needs her to fetch his coffee!!

Count on it.
This exposure is what she wants/needs.

I disagree, unless it is some minor work, like a Starbucks coffee run and taxi service.
Daniel was the exec producer of FOAF and the gf was not even credited- just thanked on the dvd (?). And no credits on Defiance either. And no credits on Bond. Not CR, not QofS.
So …. why now?

Because she is more involved. She is helping Barbara with the project, the others she was helping Daniel on a personal level not working for the studios. She was credited on FOAF, the DVD.
The Craig-Mitchell was her thank you for helping on both Bonds.
Sorry to say but she will be credited on this play.

Satsuki will be helping in the rehearsals and promotion of the play
____________________________________________________
helping in rehersals how? both daniel and hugh are professionals. hugh won a tony award so i think he knows his way around the stage and a script. and i would imagine daniel does as well. i somehow doubt that either one needs help in that department.

they have professionals for that; you know people whose job it is promote the plays on broadway. that’s what they get paid the money for. as someone said previously, it’s only a rumor. maybe she’ll be the script girl; you know reading the script while daniel and hugh rehearse and correcting them when they make a mistake.

Well being Babs’ right hand means doing a lot of things.
Yes part of your post is correct.

@to 214:
I understand that she was not working for the studios.. I just went back to look at the credits for both Flashbacks and Defiance, and it just puzzles me for someone- who is called and bills herself as a film producer, helped out on both of those films,(foaf, defiance) and whatever she did or did not do for Bond/Eon, it jus the Defiance dvd, but i think she received a ThankYou (?) on the dvd .
I mean everyone, even the drivers, get credits, yet she was working with Daniel, I guess personal things…. but it is just weird to me that she would not get any credit on screen. But she is brought in by the star of the film….so if she was working on it, then …she must be pretty upset that the film companies did not even acknowledge her-

It is just strangeto me that someone would be working right alongside the star of the film and not get screen credit.- at least as Daniel Craigs’ assistant, but I see in the credits that they have other people credited for being his assistant.

Maybe she really did do just ‘personal’ stuff for daniel and maybe she did not work on the films much, or even at all…….

This is becoming really ridiculous.
There is NO official statement anywhere that Satsuki is involved in the Bond franchise or any other DC movie after they met on set of The Jacket.
Also there is not reliable source metioned anywhere that the “Craig Mitchell thing” has been done by Satsuki’ or Daniel’s intervention. It’s only ‘discussed’ on this gossip-board.
So why the hell should she been mentioned in the credits, she’s just his g/f who has worked at a production company in the past and was somewhat involved in the movie “Last Night”.
Sorry, but Ms. Broccoli is an absolut pro and I would think Mr. Zwick, too. So if the g/f is not mentioned in the credits of Bond/Defiance then it is because she hasn’t worked on set for the company.

what is he doing right now?
when is he flying to ny?
T__Tneed new pics..

I don’t think they would credit the coffee fetcher and celeb f***er on screen. Maybe that is how she earns her high fashion clothes and diamond ring-YUCK!!

Right, no credit @ 05/29/2009 at 11:29 am

@credits:
Thank you. 219, 221!
FINALLY! Intelligent common sense prevails among the rumor-mongers!!
It is about time.

I’m 219 and please don’t lump me together with 221.
I actually resepect Satsuki, because she’s the gf of my favourite actor.
Apart from that I’m not interested in her!

You will see on the program when it comes out. Satsuki will be credited unfortuantley

re credits @ 05/29/2009 at 2:26 pm

Satsuki is involved with this play on a professional level. She has not been with Daniel’s movies although she did help with FOAF but was thanked not credited as like the other movies. She is purely there as a personal “help” to Daniel on the movie sets NOT hired.
This play is a different set up for Daniel than a huge big budget movie.
Satsuki is working for Daniel/Barbara with this play now on a professional basis.
I don’t like her at all but those facts will be seen.

@Broadway: to Broadway 208, i am at home now and still guinness…OH!! I sooo miss the frog photo!!! That was created by my friend there. but i had the idea-we kinda had the same brain there. it is one of my favorites! the attraction was to be able to see the idol we were worshipping–the photos were great to post next to. it is a great site for that.

@Lainey weigh in….: at 197 took me a while to respond–apologies…this is guinnessbannedfroD2D-and the attraction is having the photos with the comments is pretty clever and fun. and i am a feminist and they know what they are doing technically-pretty cool run by women. but not if one is moderated heavily and targeted from free speech. Power (and money) does crazy things to people–makes them paranoid, (et tu Brutus), less fun, more power hungry, and an overbearingly big bully about subjective negative observations. sound familiar? is there a blog about Barb Broc? she seems like the 3rd in a threesome!!! forget the “Pat-like” Sats personal assistant!!! ~just being guinness

@to 77: I agree too. I am also interested in how a gargantuan aussie and a british posh/cockney accent are going to pull off a chicago cops accent!! not too many american actors can do that! both men have money to hire those who can help them speak chicagoanese! it has only been days after this announcement and i am considering boycotting it because the rich get wealthier and get the best seats in the house-for show, whilst the truest fans are sitting in the back-up seats. they really should do a for the people seats—give out 3 front row seats “to thank the middle class fans who won’t otherwise go because we have seen every movie you make and can’t afford to see you in person” free tickets. ~just being guinness.

i’ll go one further. i think they should give up the the 3 front rows to the men and women who were injured in iraq/ Afghanistan; fighting a war for our country. men like my brother’s friend who lost his right leg and his left arm in iraq; or another boy who served in iraq who, as a result of a bullet to his spine, will never have be able to feel anything below his shoulder blades. nor will he be able to walk again. i’m, sorry but i think these men and women have earned the consideration. also, i think they should lower the ticket prices for them as well.

to guinness @ 05/29/2009 at 3:50 pm

Hi Guinness,

Am very curious as to what happened at d2d that you r banned from there. I am sorry. I also go there for the pictures of DC. I have read your comments many times. After reading some posts there I get the feeling that there are a bunch of over sensitive people there. So I refrain from commenting there. As I am not a great fan of Sats, it is not natural for me to not comment about her. But I just adore Dan. Anyway, will be happy to see your replies here.

Again, how does anyone know how much the monkey gf is involved with the play? All we have seen is the monkey having dinner with Babs and Daniel. Unless there is an official statement I still believe she is the coffee fetcher and celeb f**ker.
I hope the gf isn’t involved with the play as it has the potential to be very successful. I love Hugh and I hope he doesn’t have to put up with the personal crap with the Daniel, Babs and the gonk. He seems like a great guy and he is enormously successful. If Daniel allows the personal stuff to interfere he may expose himself to a huge star in the industry.

I am sure Hugh won’t mind if a gopher or a monkey fetches his coffee!!! Hope the gf fetches Deborra’s coffee too as Deborra is a classy lady not a press w***e like Bonesuki.

@to 232:
Maybe Daniel will learn, by example of Deborra, what a classy wife does or does not do for her husband while he is working. Maybe he will realise their situation is “strange” and dump Mitchell.

To Guinness, keep on posting here. You can say what you want. I saved the “frog” picture, so when I look at it, I remember all the funny things you said.

Sorry my comment should have been addressed to #233.

TO GUINNESS... @ 05/29/2009 at 6:58 pm

:….but not if one is moderated heavily and targeted from free speech.
_______________________________________________________
TO GUINNESS:
I had a feeling from what others have posted that this “banning of free speech” and heavy moderating is exactly what is going on at d2d. I bet d2d was started by one of the girlfriends’ PR people or someone in her PR camp, or one of her relatives….

Welcome to this JJ board Guiness, but please know that we have many many girlfriend haters and dislikers (immensely), and they post freely and frequently … so everybody does chime in here!

If Daniel allows the personal stuff to interfere he may expose himself to a huge star in the industry.
=====================================================

Well they will have seperate dressing rooms so I think the exposure will be kept to a minimum. ;)
But both Hugh and Daniel are getting massive exposure and Hugh is helping Daniel here with his debut on Broadway. No-one better than Hugh to do it.
I’m sure Hugh will be professional about it but remember, Barbara is doing this for the money and to help Daniel as he needs the non Bond exposure. She is trying to help his pretty flaccid non Bond career and to keep Daniel in the forefront.
Why do you think he has involved himself with so many charities lately?
All PR as we know.
The Gonk is part of it as I know her working on the play would be part of the deal.
Hugh is getting a great deal on this I’m sure to break away from musicals so it’s a win-win.
This deal has been in the works since February I hear so I have no doubt Daniel and Hugh knew about this when they were at the Oscars.

Maybe Daniel will learn, by example of Deborra, what a classy wife does or does not do for her husband while he is working. Maybe he will realise their situation is “strange” and dump Mitchell.
====================================================

I doubt Deborra will be hanging around the place as they have kids to look after and she gives Hugh breathing space but Daniel probably won’t be too concerened and hopefully will be concentrating on the play.
The Gonk will be there front and center as usual trying to ingratiate herself to Hugh no doubt.
Hopefully he will flick her away like the gnat she is.

@to 234:
Thanks poster 237 and 238- thank you for the information.
The behind the scenes ‘workings” on this play with Hugh and Daniel are very interesting.
Yes, you are right that it does look like so much of it is one big PR gig for Daniel and for his career/professional profile and acting range.
The play is supposedly very ‘heavy and intense” so if Daniel personally does well, it could raise his ‘acting” status and bring him much critical acclaim.
The ‘grade” he receives on this broadway project will do alot to shut up the naysayers who say he can’t be a commercial success outside of Bond.
I believe Daniel did the play Hurly Burly years ago, but in London’s West end.?..if I am not mistaken..

GRACIAS SPONGEBOB! LOL! @ 05/29/2009 at 7:27 pm

@re Lainey: I AGREE!!!!!! Hugh Jackman again on Broadway are the big news here! No offence to Daniel Craig, he’s a good actor but Jackman is the Superstar… Sorry Daniel!

GRACIAS SPONGEBOB! LOL! @ 05/29/2009 at 9:27 pm

check out this link of hugh and daniel really having a genuine laugh at this past Oscars/Vanity fair party:-
It looks like they get along great!

herer is the caption/blurb: (click link below for the picture)…

STRATEGIC PLANNING
Oscar presenters Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig compare notes on how to enter and exit the Vanity Fair party. Earlier, The Prestige star ducked back into the fete to a chorus of congratulations after dashing over to the Kodak Theatre to present Best Foreign Film. Craig took a different tack with the paparazzi: On his way out of Morton’s, Craig cawed like a bird in response to demands for more photo ops.

I would like to see a video clip of daniel on the way out of Mortons ‘cawing’ like a bird.
I am sure that one pap or someone must have gotten it. If this really DID really happen then someone must have been able to record it.
I have not been able to find it. Maybe someone else can.

http://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities-news-in-pics/29-05-2009/51653/general/

Apparently Daniel is the man most people would like so see taken off the market..
Who are the people of hello magazine kidding?

Bravo SpongeBob!! You should be on Broadway-maybe writing lyrics to “The Gonk Goes to NYC”? I can see it now-many photo ops for the Gonk-at the Empire State Building, at the Statue of Liberty and I know she will have to make a “serious” visit to Ground Zero-Barf!!!

Congrats to creepy wannabe-all those hours spent voting paid off. Now if she could only get him to actually wed the monkey in real life.

Congrats to creepy wannabe-all those hours spent voting paid off. Now if she could only get him to actually wed the monkey in real life.

That’s the point isnt it though? If these people had enough faith in these two to marry they wouldn’t have had to spend hours voting to make this very weak statement.

well then........ @ 05/29/2009 at 10:38 pm

I’m sure Daniel will marry Satsuki immediately after hearing this news.
Damn.

GRACIAS SPONGEBOB! LOL! @ 05/29/2009 at 10:43 pm

@hello:
RE: Hello Magazine
What the F?
NOW the gf is a TV Producer? Really? Film and TV?
Well I guess there is a first time for everything…A first time for a Brand New Lie to be fabricated by the gf and her PR team!
Where the HE*L did that come from?
More made-up trash from Hello? Like them winning this contest?
I thought she was a “FILM” producer?? LOL to that!! Obviously not producing any films over the past 4 years!!)

Well the TV comes from the fact she was involved with a TV show called “Search for the Stars” many years ago?
Yes Hello magazine is a doozy with these jumped up titles.
Hopefully the Hello magazine Curse will strike like Daniel hoped it wouldn’t.
They won taht because a certain fan club voted like the #@$$% they are because they think that it will make them marry.
*rolls eyes*
You have to feel sorry for them really. Let them have their little dream.

NOW the gf is a TV Producer? Really? Film and TV?
=================================================

Yes she produced the reality TV Show “The St Barths Bond and Gonk Arranged Paps Go Wild”..
Did you not see it?
Channel “couldnt care less”.

Smoke and Mirrors... @ 05/29/2009 at 10:58 pm

The girlfriend has to be the laughing stock of the entertainment industry.!
The hello magazine article said the gf is a TV producer because the ‘film producer” title that she has had for the past 4 years is not flying well (to put it mildly) with the REAL hollywood producers and power players!
So apparently her PR people told “Hello” she is now a TV producer!
Ok, that will also be discovered to be bogus, just like her Film Producer title is. ‘Fake’ Producer is more like it.

I think that should read “F*ck Star Producer”.

Smoke and Mirrors... @ 05/29/2009 at 11:08 pm

@to251:
If you look on the credits (on IMDB) of that show- which was on like a hundred years ago!!! - which really ages the gf quite a bit- but if you look on the IMDB credits, her name is all the way stuck at the bottom of the barrel. NOT a PRODUCER of the show.

Who does she think she is kidding?
Why can’t she just cut the crap and be honest about it all? She might get more respect if she puts a stop to all of these magazine contests trying to get public opinion to “CONVINCE” Daniel to marry her.

Her ‘tactic” of doing this is so incredibly sad and pathetic.
Who she is representing herself to be is a lie. This is what she resorts to to become famous.

She is not a Producer, so why lie about it? People are going to do the research and find out the truth of it anyway…
sooner or later.

Smoke and Mirrors... @ 05/29/2009 at 11:10 pm

@to 254:
OR…in the alternative…..
“Star F*cker Producer”

This is what she resorts to to become famous.
=====================================================

No she resorted to knowing Daniel was on his way to the big time and knew he was still involved with Heike but pursued him anyway.
That is what she resorted too.

laughing stock v much so @ 05/29/2009 at 11:15 pm

She is already. Don’t sweat it.

TV producer @ 05/29/2009 at 11:18 pm

The play might become a TV special eventually.
Work out what Daniel might have “demanded’ for Gonk Face?

Smoke and Mirrors... @ 05/29/2009 at 11:24 pm

@to 257:
This is so true.

Smoke and Mirrors... @ 05/29/2009 at 11:30 pm

@TV producer:

I don’t think he ‘demanded ‘ anything for GONG/GONKface regarding future projects on this. Any future projects will have to go through other “powers that be” presiding over the ownership and rights of the material, and other people who became involved with this play long before barbara and daniel did.

No disrespect to Daniel when I say this, but I don’t think that acting in the Broadway version of this play gives Daniel any right to demand anything for anyone- including the GONG- regarding the future projects of the property.

I don’t think he ‘demanded ‘ anything for GONG/GONKface
===================================================

No? Think again.
Doesn’t mean I’m jumping over the moon about it though.
Just the messenger.

No she resorted to knowing Daniel was on his way to the big time and knew he was still involved with Heike but pursued him anyway.
That is what she resorted too.
___________________________________________________

i thought daniel had broken up with heiki before he met satuski. may be i was wrong.

No he was with her when he filmed The Jacket in 2004, met Satsuki on set. Heike and he split after filming, then he “rebounded” with Kate Moss for 2 months while keeping a friendship with Satsuki long distance. Heike started seeing the man she is with now. Forget his name.
He then started dating long distance Satsuki in Aug 04. Then the apparent fling with Sienna in 05, after which Satsuki moved to London.
All as bad as each other really.

Smoke and Mirrors... @ 05/29/2009 at 11:49 pm

@to 262:
Who did he demand it from? I am guessing barbara?
And why “demand” it? Wasn’t she on board with working with the gf?

Smoke and Mirrors... @ 05/30/2009 at 12:03 am

@to 262:
Even if Daniel’s demands were not met, and the gf was not allowed to be involved, I seriously wonder if Daniel would still be involved with the project.
I think he would still be doing this B’way play, even if his gf demands were not met.
THis is his career, one of the most important things to him, and I do not think he would give up a SWEET opportunity like this …to star in a B’way play without even having to audition for it!! Just having it all handed to him on a silver plate!

@to 258:

He fell for it!

Smoke and Mirrors... @ 05/30/2009 at 12:34 am

@to 262:
Do you think that behind the scenes, Barbara did not want to work with GONG but to get Daniel to do the play, she agreed to it?
But that does not make any sense because GONG did not get involved professionally with any of the 4 films - she only worked doing Daniel’s stuff.
I mean Daniel did not demand from Ed Zwick, “let the GONG work on the film Defiance with you and your crew or I am not going to do it”
And even with Baille Walsh- Daniel’s very good friend,- the gf did not work directly on the film in a professional capacity, and It was Baille’s film!!
Apparently she only did Daniel’s personal stuff.

So HOW do you think this all went down then?

to guinness @ 05/30/2009 at 7:22 am

and I was wondering what had happened to you and the other poster who has vanished all of a sudden.
The third one was a back a few days later, which is great because she is very wicked and makes funny posts.

I wish I could be on Broadway in October-Daniel, Sienna, Babs lusting after Daniel, and the Gonk guarding her golden goose. I think all the drama will be off-stage!!!

Regarding the gf’s credits-it just goes to show you the fluff Hello mag puts out-they know the gf’s just a gopher but that does not sound very impressive. I still think it is one of Satsmonkey’s desperate relatives trying to get them married any way they can.

well i did see on the d2d website a poll asking should daniel and satsuki marry to seal their relationship.
33% said Yes
66% said No.
all those people stating they shouldnt hide behind the “we think its ok as it is” thing..they dont want him to be “off the market” like the rest of us truth be known!

Here we go again @ 05/30/2009 at 12:08 pm

Whenever Just Jared posts something about Daniel Craig, all the comments become about Satsuki Mitchell or his relationship. Very little about his work or whats happening with him. It’s always Satsuki, this Satsuki that. The funny thing is is that the one’s who profess to hate Satsuki so much and wish she would just disappear are prolonging her stay in the spotlight. Sites like this will just continue to post her pictures as long as people continue to gossip about her. But of course they don’t really want her to disappear. Where is the fun in that? They wouldn’t be able to trash her so much anymore if she fades away. There in lies the rub. I simply could care less about her. I’m just interested in Craig. Damn he’s hot!

to 270 and 274 @ 05/30/2009 at 12:13 pm

to 270:
I think you are showing “stupid and self-defeating behavior.” lol

to 274:
Once again, this is a gossip site so be prepared for all sorts of things. If you don’t like what is being said then ignore and scroll through or don’t visit.
Why do people who complain so much never realize they have that very simple option?

you may not have noticed but the g/f has made herself or daniel has (for one reason or another) made her, to be an integral part of his career. so she does play a part and people can discuss her if they so choose.
if she would stand back for 5 mins then maybe she wouldnt be talked about but she never does for whatever reason.
so if daniel has out her there, he has put her in the limelight, his/her decision, she is public domain, she has to put up with whatever people say.
i for one, would love her to get lost and let daniel get on with it as she has been part of some really crappy decisions in his career and he has listened to her at some point. maybe his non bond career would be better at this point.
his acting has gone down the toilet and that has been noted in the business, why do you think he is doing this play now?

his acting has gone down the toilet and that has been noted in the business, why do you think he is doing this play now?
=====================================================

Well said. I agree, his acting or lack thereof, has been speculated on lately, quite robotic.
His decision to stay away from movies fro awhile (TinTin is a smaller/CGI enhanced role) and get back to trying to find the angst and excitement he used to portray when he was younger is smart.
This play will do him a lot of good as doing films back to back for years tends to chip away at an actors’ finesse and timing.
Stage is very subtle, no do-overs and will sharpen his senses once again.
As for the Gonk, I agree she is part of his career, you only have to look at the Bond On Set books to see pictures of her in there with him to see is part of all of this “show”. People need to deal with the fact she will be talked about in whatever fashion.

RE: the d2d poll- 33% for marriage and 66% against….

I am surprised, actually shocked! , that the d2d ‘powers-that-be’ did not find out specifically WHO voted 66% against and BAN them from the d2d site for not going along with the 33% pro-marriage.

I guess if they banned the 66% against, then d2d would be a pretty empty site, losing mostly all of their readers/posters.

reply: TO Sienna @ 05/30/2009 at 12:57 pm

@to 274:

Well said comment! I totally agree with you!
She has put herself there, or has gone along with it.
I don’t see a gun to her head, as a matter of speaking.
Who is really ‘forcing” her to be front and center? There are so many wives, girlfriends, partners etc of the celebs who do have their own life and carry on, and enjoy their relationships even more!

Looking back on these most recent posts, and what is coming to the surface now on the girlfriend, it is looking more and more like SHE is the Clingy Hanger-on POSSESSIVE groupie who is overly controlling and is trying to make a name for herself without any substance to back up her title, and hanging onto Daniel’s fame and fortune.

And daniel has said in many interviews that he does take care of the people around him who help him, and I believe he feels obligated to help her.
But without any REAL substance or TRUE genuine talent, no matter who she works with or what project she works on, the girlfriend is not going to be able to make it on her own.

reply: to Sienna @ 05/30/2009 at 12:59 pm

Well, I would be banned, as I voted against. Is there proof (a link) that says that the gf will work on the play? Or is it all heresay??

reply: TO Sienna @ 05/30/2009 at 1:05 pm

@to 276:
Thank you. Your points make sense.

Along with what you have said, Daniel’s going ‘Back to Basics” and getting back onto the ‘boards”, re-experiencing his love and passion for the pure drama of the live stage and reconnecting with his roots of acting, this will all fine tune his skills and timing…. and probably make him an even better actor than he is now.

reply: TO Sienna @ 05/30/2009 at 1:10 pm

@reply: to Sienna:
I have no idea, and I guess it will all come out in the wash.
Another poster said it was true, others have said not.

If the Gong really was serious about being a professional in the industry and getting credibility, and now I am doubting that she ever was, but if she truly wanted to be a real film producer, she would break away from Daniel and Barbara, go on her own, go anonymously and try to get a project on her OWN merits., make the film a success..and show that she can do it all by herself without riding on anyone else’s name or fame.

Like it or not (I don’t) she is connected with the play and yes, it will all come out on the playbill.
As for making it on her own, she cannot. She does not have a good successful resume and the connections/experience she is being exposed too from Daniel’s career (being on set etc) is all he can give her without literally funding a whole film for him himself (which he will not do).
Her working with Barbara now will be major coup on her resume. Ultimately I feel Daniel wants her to “stand on her own two feet” with her own thing but right now is struggling.
Yes she gave up her 2929 career to concentrate on his (no great thing as she wasn’t earning great money, films going nowhere and now she has the perks/travel/clothes/exposure, very calculated) so yes, he does owe her.

re sats grab @ 05/30/2009 at 2:28 pm

personally i think satsuki is getting what she can out of the man professionally before it goes t*ts up for her (not literally as she hasn’t any) but it all screams of grabbing what she can before the ship sinks.
call me cynical but it’s what i feel is happening. same goes for daniel, i think he is doing anything he can to help her get some decent foothold in the biz without it looking overly pretentious on his part but if i could give the man any advice, it would be step back himself, knock off the corny holidays and staged photo ops, retreat, do the play, concentrate/focus and distentangle himself from people who are not helping his sub-concious, career and image.

without it looking overly pretentious on his part
====================================================

Bit late for that after the Craig-Mitchell and St Barth’s fiasco but I guess he has a chance to re-evaluate it all at this point if not someone should make him.
Never too late Daniel to become the exquisite actor and humble approachable man you once were.
I have faith.

The girlfriend did not leave anything behind when she hooked herself onto Daniel’s Rising Star, riding along and reaping all the luxuries, 5 star hotels, designer clothes and “living high on the hog” benefits that came along with working/living with Daniel.

You are correct, She cannot make it on her own and Daniel does feel that he has to help her.(owes it to her) And I am sure he is doing all he can on his end - especially making it possible for her opportunity with the play.- without actually doing it FOR her!

EXCELLENT advice for Daniel to disentangle himself from all of those who are like millstones around his neck, pulling him down, giving him lousy career advice, and helping to chip away at his career, image and self conscious.

A Big life lesson for Daniel I think.

At some point she will have to stand on her own,or sink. SIMPLE AS THAT!
IT will be expected of her to produce QUALITY results on her own.

Thanks for the summary of events! I too would love to see the drama off the stage as Broadway is a very tight area-would love to see the gonk bump into Sienna during a shopping spree or at a restaurant!! I think Sienna will always be a thorn in the gonk’s side so this could get very interesting.

To Spongebob-love your lyrics!!!!

Regarding the Hello poll-stupid. Daniel’s fans are not fans of the phony gf so people know it is a bunch of BS or it is a gf relative who is full of BS.

reply: TO 283. 284 @ 05/30/2009 at 2:57 pm

sorry typo….
hti should be ‘hit” the nail on the head.

284- You are so right when you say that the gf is grabbing and clawing to every last thread of Daniel’s ‘coattails” before it all rips off for good.

BUT the gf did NOT really give up her 2929 career because in working for Daniel, I am assuming she DID get paid?? Or maybe not.

Honestly, She got the exposure to contacts and the glam lifestyle she never would have gotten otherwise.

Hooking herself up to Daniel DID give her the exposure and limelight she never would have gotten as an assistant at 2929. “Hooking” being the correct term here. :)

I am thinking maybe 2929 would take her back now? If she can’t get work elsewhere….

@to 282:
What is so fascinating- actually baffling- to me is that over the past 4 or 5 years with ALL of the ‘power players” and high profile contacts the girlfriend has made, she can’t now jump over to one of ‘their’ projects to work on, without hanging onto Daniel and Barbara.
With all of her A-list industry contacts , she can’t get onto a project with any of them? Getting it on her own?
That is not saying a whole lot for her.

Satsman and Robert DeNiro @ 05/30/2009 at 3:30 pm

Satsuki as a producer? When Daniel met Robert DeNiro at Tribeca during premiere of Qos and was shaking hands with him so Satsuki stood behind Daniel and unaturally smiled, she kept sticking her hand in Daniel’s hand while Daniel shook hands with DeNiro. The same case in the care coming out of the restauration Mr Chow Daniel wanted to make a call of his mobile and Satsuki hold up her hand to catch his hand. She is extremely dependent and NOPE she is a respected producer because if she really was a producer so she would act like a producer and shook hands with Rober DeNiro at it is proper. But not, she seemed only like a girlfriend standing at the back and holding Daniel’s hand when she is shaking hands with others. Funny, she worked with Robert DeNiro on Godsend in 2004, but she was sardonic smile when Robert was near and he didn’t notice her AT ALL. She and a movie producer? so why she stood like a gudgeon behind Daniel and sticked her hand in Daniel’s hand like a small dependent girl? She should shake hands with DeNiro as it should be as to her status movie producer. When Daniel attended with Satsuki Filmball in Munich, he shook hands with a few people, Satsuki didn’t, maybe she couldn’t because she used a stick for fixing her hands with Daniel’s hands. Satsuki is sticked on Daniel permamently on all premiers. Any free minute for Daniel? No, it does not exist. Other actors don’t have so dependent girlfriend and wife who is standing behind him like a sardonic idiot or saggy-tits looking monkeya.

Satsman and Robert DeNiro @ 05/30/2009 at 3:37 pm

Correct: when he is shaking hands with others

intelligent head @ 05/30/2009 at 3:53 pm

@we know the tune (spongebob):
Great lyrics! Tell me, where I can buy a CD with your lyrics?
I would like to send this CD on Daniel’s address and agency.
Maybe you should go to Youtube, there are singers and poll, surely you will be noticed by record company because you are very good author. And if you have a voice like Gerard Way from band
My Chemical Romance, ooohh, I am your falling and crazy fan!

@Satsman and Robert DeNiro:

I read somewhere that Sats worked for DeNiro…….is that true?

You bring up some interesting points regarding body language. The gf has been with Daniel 24/7 for 5 years and has basically interacted with the same people he has. She does not shake hand and stands in a small group without interaction as I think people are just not that into her. She has not done anything but fetch things, has no identity of her own and she is hideous looking-who would you want to talk to Daniel or the nobody gonk?! At this point I it seems people in the industry don’t really respect her but treat her as something that Daniel drags around to keep him company.

What is so fascinating- actually baffling- to me is that over the past 4 or 5 years with ALL of the ‘power players” and high profile contacts the girlfriend has made, she can’t now jump over to one of ‘their’ projects to work on (#289)

————————–

Yes, that’s something I’ve been wondering about as well. Surely, she had so many opportunities to get involved in projects through networking; she must often have been at the right place at the right time, meeting the right people - but she doesn’t seem to have managed to carve out a niche for herself independently from Dan. So I presume, she might not have wanted to use these opportunities?
Does she not want her own career, or some kind of own identity other than ‘being Dan’s girlfriend?’

@to guinness: ahhh. that is what i am trying to find out. no one will answer my mail. she is just as wicked, yes, so a public question goes out to you Cal, and i know you read because you have linked me here many times (thanks), so why were you invited back, and not me and the other wicked poster?? reading private messages are we??~guinness, scorned.

@mendel: At 295, I agree, “Daniel’s Girlfriend for 5 years without a signed contract” (of Marriage) does nothing for her career. I think everyone in the circus of connections with Sats sees that she stinks in the career she chose–she should be ALL over the PLACE!! with his name and everywhere they go….she should be asking for references, or talking to people….”say, come on over to one of 12 of Dan’s houses for a cocktail, I heard you like art, well dan has a great collection of timepieces…. and i have some track photos from high school”…. she ain’t got what it takes, and everyone knows it. Who doesn’t think she is going to ask for HALF if they split???? I feel bad for dan sometimes. then i think of how much he is worth. and that he has the power of giving out seats at his show!!! ~guinnessbannedfrod2d

NO social graces...to 294 @ 05/30/2009 at 8:35 pm

@to 290:
Your points are correct and can be proven when you observe GONG anywhere in a group or social scene.
She does not network with others.
She is not social.
But you see Daniel mingling, as he did a lot at the Vanity Fair Oscars party, and at the premieres and at other events.
And Daniel is social and has the social graces.
The GONG has no social graces and little to no manners.
The whole point of her meeting these industry players is to network (duh!) and it is very telling that DeNiro basically ignored her and spoke directly to Daniel at the Vanity Fair party.
Again, this is not saying much of anything for the impression she leaves on the industry’s big players.
Also, during Godsend, maybe there was a crew of hyundreds or more and she was probably just a gopher/assistant/runner.
It is possible that she did not meet, or even TRY to meet DeNiro, did not make the effort to introduce herself properly or be a professional about it. Obviously not extending herself, she was not interested in moving her career forward.
The same with her lack of mingling and lack of networking at these important red carpet/premiere/Oscars events and parties.

MAYBE she thinks that Daniel will do it all FOR her and she does not have to lift a finger, or make any effort at all ?

Who wants to hire a baby or a child? It is too competitve an industry to play games and act like that.

NO social graces...to 294 @ 05/30/2009 at 8:38 pm

NO social graces, to 295+Guine @ 05/30/2009 at 8:46 pm

@mendel:

To Mendel….and Guinness…

You may be right there. Maybe she doesn’t want her own career and maybe Daniel wants her to ’stand on her own two feet” for reasons of his won.
But now, she is probably so comfortable in her lux lifestyle that she does not want to go back to work.
She likes the lazy life..
Anyone- any hungry , motivated Go Getter- in the industry with that same exposure to the big players, the top execs and producers- YOU CAN’T GO MUCH HIGHER THAN STEVEN SPIELBERG and ROBERT DeNIRO!!- would take advantage of their contacts and be on top of their job search, trying to hook up with any new project with ANY of these players .

So maybe now the GONG is not motivated and she is not Hungry or Ambitious! Maybe she does not care about a career, unless it is a Professional ‘Shopping ‘ career. !!

No he was with her when he filmed The Jacket in 2004, met Satsuki on set. Heike and he split after filming, then he “rebounded” with Kate Moss for 2 months while keeping a friendship with Satsuki long distance. Heike started seeing the man she is with now. Forget his name.
He then started dating long distance Satsuki in Aug 04. Then the apparent fling with Sienna in 05, after which Satsuki moved to London.
All as bad as each other really
______________________________________________________

so satsuki came between daniel and heiki on the set of the jacket? no wonder she stickes to him like glue now. sats is afraid another woman will come along and do the same thing to her.

TO: Guinness, # 303 @ 05/30/2009 at 10:14 pm

@to 265:
She had a lifetime career goal of ‘bagging an actor” - the best way to do it is hook up with a production company as a production assistant or a personal assistant.
She had her sights on him, and that is what she did.
She got chummy with him on the set of the Jacket, when he and Heike were still together, then I guess once Daniel and Heike broke up after filming the Jacket, the GONG moved in for the kill….
It all fits together in a very calculated way, as an above poster described it .

Interesting how the gf is very calculating in getting what she wants-getting Daniel while he was with Heike, having Daniel keep her in the limelight, etc. but she has not succeeded in making it all legal. I am a firm believer in what goes around comes around and I think the gf will get what she deserves. The gf is a wannabe celeb who can not make it in the industry and f***king a celeb has only gotten her known as a tag along coffee fetcher. If Daniel truely wants someone who stands on her own 2 feet she is definitely not the person for him.

i wonder if daniel craig will do what some many others have done. move to new york on a permanent basis just like hugh jackson, ralph finnes, liam neeson, and others have done. let’s face it we have the best of both worlds in NYC. we have broadway, it’s so easy to fly to london and/or los angels out of jfk, and it’s the best city in the world to live in.

I can’t reveal my identity or I may loose my job.
I overheard my boss talking with another contact on the phone and he said, “I want to know who thought this was a good idea, he’s going to bomb. Hugh’s going to steal the show.”
I’m pretty sure he was talking about DC doing this play with HJ.
I overhead him making a four figure bet that DC will get medicore to bad reviews and HJ will get great reviews.
He also said, “He needs to get his head out of his ***. We got a full of himself a-hole sharing the stage with one of the most loved actors, so which one is going to get the great reviews?”

re 310 private @ 05/31/2009 at 7:30 am

Whatever you say, wannabe. You keep telling us we can’t hate the gf, we’re so awful, but you keep posting negative sh*t like this obviously made up “overheard” cr*p about DC. We KNOW it’s you, because you spelled LOOSE the same way you did in your fake Ella twitter. You’re a fake waiter, waitress, pap, pop psychologist, fake Ella–you truly are nothing but a wannabe…
—————————
Whether anyone in the industry now thinks he has a big head is one thing, (I have no comment on that) but no on in the industry would ever be so dumb as to say DC “will get mediocre to bad reviews”, because DC has NEVER gotten mediocre OR bad reviews. Even in the financial disaster Flashback, critics said HE was terrific.
—————————
To people who keep saying Defiance was a bomb… This is untrue. Defiance was a “smaller” picture, like the Reader and the Wrestler–it had a small niche market that it catered to. For its “market” Defiance did very well and earned 28.5 million. The nominations and awards and “buzz” around Reader SHOULD have increased its revenue, yet Reader only got SLIGHTLY more at 34 million, and the Wrestler, for which Rourke was up for two and won one award, earned 26 million. You cannot compare Defiance to Bond any more than you could say the Reader was a bomb because it “only” got 34 million. 25 to 34 million for those types of pictures is actually considered excellent. Even Milk, which got Penn another award, only earned 31.8 million.
————————–
Flashback was a definite bomb, but the critics said HE was good in his part, but I think he shouldn’t have made it because now people like wannabe act as though that’s a true story about DC, rather than recognizing that was a poorly-written, cliché-ridden piece of **** with some VERY good, not just DC, actors in it. It’s obvious it’s you wannabe, because you are a wannabe, cliché-ridden, bad writer yourself. I mean, NO one really talks like that, it sounds like the bad dialogue in a d-movie, or a cheesy romance novel: 310 PRIVATE: …he said “I want to know who thought this was a good idea, he’s going to bomb. Hugh’s going to steal the show.”
I overhead him making a four figure bet that DC will get medicore to bad reviews and HJ will get great reviews.
He also said, “He needs to get his head out of his ***. We got a full of himself a-hole sharing the stage with one of the most loved actors, so which one is going to get the great reviews?”
————————–
People, other actors, directors, who have worked with him, say he is “highly professional” and an “extremely talented actor.” Anyone who has seen Our Friends in the North, Love is the Devil, Love and Rage, Some Voices, Ice House, Moll Flanders, Enduring Love, Sylvia, Road to Perdition, Munich, and more, knows that he has a great body (of work) and is, as his co-artists, say: extremely talented. NO one in the industry has ever (or would ever) have called him mediocre. He was even up for awards for Casino Royale. People on JJ have said he has lost his “edge” in QofS. Maybe. I don’t agree. The material was what was lacking and it’s not his fault the writing for QofS didn’t rise to CR’s level. But, still, in QofS, HE delivered, and it did as well in the box office as CR. To their credit, at least it seems BB and crew realize they need a better script and are taking their time to get the next one up to snuff. I do agree a play is just what he needs. Hugh Jackman and DC will feed off of each other’s energies and the play, with TWO such amazing and strong actors, will blow the critics and audiences away. So wannabe, since you don’t like the gf haters, then stop hating on DC with all your untrue bull you *claim* you “overheard.” Sheesh, even the playwright himself said he’d like to see DC in it, and I think this interview on UT was made before DC was announced for the role. You can call him ugly, bad actor, etc, as yourself all you want. You are entitled to your opinion. Just don’t pretend to be a wannabe “insider” with such an obviously phony “scoop,” because we’re not buying it. YOU are the biggest hater on this board. Hypocrite.

@re 310 private:

Actually I really liked FOAF - I thought it was a good film.

(I didn’t admit to this….but I liked it also…bits, anyway. It lacked a proper script, but there was much right about it. DC. The music. The scenery. The other actors….) It just needed a better more-fleshed out, less cliche script. Too many cliche devices were used to “show” how he was “deeper” at the end than the shallow man we were introduced to at the beginning. And Forlani can’t cry for her husband who just died, but she seems to burst into tears over the “love” that she never really even had? But the real problem, when i first watched it, I expected it to be a DC film. Heck, he had more screen time in Obsession… or Kiss and Tell. When it went into the “flashback”, my first thought was, “Oh, no!–they are NOT going to bookend DC and just bring him back at the end. But they DID, and that was most of my problem with it. I loved how he played the character with such broad and funny strokes, an out an out narcissist that you should HATE, but like Nicholson in As Good as it Gets, he managed to be likeable. I thought at first this would be another ASAIG, but it failed to be so. IF the writer/director had properly utilized Daniel THROUGHOUT the movie, weaving him in and out of the flashbacks, I think it could have been, but they short-shrifted the adult Joe Scott character, and that, I think, hurt the movie. That movie showed that DC should reconsider his “I’ll never do a comedy.” If he finds the RIGHT comedy, like AGAIG, he could prove to be a brilliant comedian as well as a dramatic actor. But still, I feel his doing it, with the character being so close to his actual age and occupation, make it too easy for people like wannabe to tar him with that brush, and write as though he IS that character, when in fact, DC has dug into a dustbin to find an old lady’s hearing aid, which is something a teetotal narcissist like Joe would not have done. (I doubt wannabe herself would have dug into the trash to help out the old lady….) Jamie Bell said DC made them stop shooting during Defiance when he was in obvious distress due to the cold. Whatever faults DC may have–he is NOT Bond, or Joe Scott. I just get sick of her trashing HIM, and then screaming “haters” when anyone says anything negative about the gf. She obviously doesn’t crush on DC, considering the hateful things she says about him. She does seem to have a girl-crush, or something, on the gf though.

reply: to Foaf @ 05/31/2009 at 10:59 am

Great comments, I agree with you 100%.

I agree she has a girl or monkey crush on Daniel’s gf. Can’t fathom why anyone would even like the gf as she does nothing but fetch, shop and pose!? At this point I would think she would take a step back from his limelight as she has done nothing to earn the attention or respect of people. Very strange relationship.

intelligent head @ 05/31/2009 at 2:10 pm

I was not interesting about Daniel’s a r s e in FOAF and Daniel didn’t look much attractive in it, movie is very depressive to me and I think Daniel picked this project on his own because the script made him interesting thanks sad and depressive atmosphere. He likes strange movies with strange, bizarre plots (Mother, Love is Devil,
Reinassance..). Each of actors has own conception of films and Daniel belongs to category of actors who likes films with bizarre plot.
But Anthony Hopkins, Chris Bale and other English actors make the same, in Daniel’s acting is English culture.
Even Casino Royale was strange thanks him and it makes him an excellent actor, I don’t like some of his movies but I agree he is very talented actor and I think James Bond is not his the biggest life part in his acting, there will come another opportunity, a part who will make him very authentic and we will goggle at him with open mouth in the cinema. He should get a part like got G.Clooney- Syriana or Michael Clayton, I would like to see Daniel in political drama, maybe Daniel should receive a american part to make bigger and more interesting work and it could starting his fame in the America and really joined the A-list among Pitt, Cruise, Smith..
Daniel needs get a offer from american producers. Yes I know James Bond is of american and english collaboration but I think Daniel needs get a properly big role and James Bond does not make him A-lister or famous actor in USA. Look at Moore and Brosnan, they didn’t a career in USA, only Connery with his Bond is respected and unforgettable and did a very good movie “The Rock” with Nicolas Cage and “The League of Extraordinary men”.
Daniel does not look happy last time, his FOAF, Defiance made lost in cinemas, when your movie has not success so you surely feel sadness, Daniel loved a story of Defiancé and it made him sad when he found out that Defiancé is loser at box office and people didn’t accept movie. I think Daniel was excellent in Defiancé and it was his the right parquet but he knew that reviews are not so much good.
I more would like to see Daniel in comedy movie I always miss him comedian’s part. Maybe Daniel’s James Bond should to get near Connery’s and Moore’s Bond for having wisecracks, drinking real Martini, smoking and sleeping with women, making fun and living funny situations, not only always the cold, grumpy Bond who does not sleep with women, he does not want Martini, no Havana’s, only killing, cutting, throttling, no more. Casino Royale was very elegant and had a unique picture, a good script and Daniel played excellently, Eva Green as well, but Qos is out of play. Bond always will kill enemies but Daniel’s Bond lacks nature of comediant. Daniel’s Bond is the dark Bond from Fleming’s books but as you can see that Quantum of Solace was not good althought 22.Bond was more dark, fans were very dissapointed. It does mean that dark Bond can’t be always good, and ( as I suppose in continuation with Olga/Camille) so next it will not be better with 23.Bond. Fans always appreciate when there is comedy and if Daniel wants to make a proper 23.Bond he must add a proper game, funny situations and gags. But it depends on Babs, Michael and maybe on Satsuki if she is helping with that I think there will be no comedy for me and you because Babs and Michael have own conception that started with coming Daniel and dark Bond and they probably continue in their strategy. hehe if Babs is really so a good woman as always so Olga will be back. There was
Craig Mitchell and if Babs gave work Satsuki - second present so Olga will get the Christmas present again as Babs is so generous giver. Olga got a part of 22. Camille (not Bond girl) during Christmas dinner and I think she will get- again- the second present this Christmas.

I think there is not moderation, only blocked discussion for someone, that means, if you are banned for discussion so you comment will not moderated but simply your comment is not going through board,
I call it “dead soul”. Just Jared improves board, they added reply and flag this, when we were talking on old thread’s so there was a mess with numbers and that is why they did new changes and added block proper system. They found out there are almost 5000 comments for Daniel and surely noticed mess with numbers-posts.

daniel craig’s bond is exactly as ian fleming intended him to be. this man is a highly trained professional who has been given the liscence to kil whom ever and when ever necessary to protect crown and country. he can be ruthless in his job and he can kill without mercy. that’s his job. sleeping with women, drinking martinis, giving off funny comments, and smoking havanas is one thing; james bond is not a cartoon charachter.nor was he ever intended to be. in spite of what you may have learned from roger moore’s bond it is not all fun and games for mi6 or, for that matter, the cia either.

I overheard my boss talking with another contact on the phone and he said, “I want to know who thought this was a good idea, he’s going to bomb. Hugh’s going to steal the show.”

P.U.!!- yuck! get a whiff of that… or maybe you shouldn’t.

Between the heavy-handed ‘nazi-like” tactics of reading private poster messages and the exile/banning of posters for posting something not ‘politically correct’ or gooey-loving about the girlfriend, and the enforced “Blackout” that Lainey Gossip has enacted regarding the girlfriend, something sure is Stinkin’ in Cinderella-land!

MMMMMMMWAAAA HA HA HA HA!

I think you summed it up nicely-”something sure is stinkin in Cinderella-land”!!! I think it has been stinkin for a long time but Daniel and the gf seem to have an arrangement where the gf does what ever Daniel wants and he provides her with a very lavish lifestyle. It seems that industry people ignore the gf and take her as Daniel’s assistant or gopher.
Regarding the Lainey thing-I think Lainey along with other gossip people have been told that can not discuss the gf/relationship at all. There are just too many weird things about this relationship and I think industry and non-industry people have all come to the same conclusion-it is an arrangement.

@to 330:

i think that whatever their deal or arrangement, people are starting to, or HAVE started to put 2 plus 2 together and realize something is not quite right.

Starting with the so called ‘engagement” ring (aka the gumball machine/crackerjack box diamond) ring.

From there, anyone can follow the trail of bull-crap.

Cinderellaland is stinkin' @ 05/31/2009 at 8:22 pm

@to 330:

Maybe this entire ‘Relationship with Daniel lie”, and trying to pass off an arrangement for a ‘real” relationship, is what is quickly sinking the girlfriend’s career boat, as much as her talentless, FALSE film production skills and b.s. resume are.

As poster 331 said, Industry people and Power Players know the ‘real deal’ here and are turned completely off to her.
She is repelling people and she isn’t smart enough to figure out why!!

Re Sienna @ 05/31/2009 at 9:13 pm

JJ has photos of Sienna at tonights MTV awards…..she looks fantastic. No wonder Sats was jealous of her.

Cinderellaland is stinkin' @ 05/31/2009 at 9:24 pm

@Re Sienna:
I must say I do think that Sienna looks great tonight at the MTV movie awards. I am not a fan of hers but I do think she looks good here in the JJ pics.
Very short dress but I like it, she can pull off that look well.
The sparkly green goes well with her blond hair.
It is similar to a dress that Jennifer Connolley wore to her movie premiere not long ago.

She looks fabulous-beautiful skin!!! It is nice to see her with a fellow who isn’t married-maybe she has finally learned to grow up. I actually think she is a decent actress who has just made some awful man choices. Yes I would think someone who looks like Sats would be very intimidated by Sienna; plus Sienna actually works.

==================================================

She still is and for good reason.

@to GUINNESS…Cal?: ooo, kay! good discussion.
But could you fill us in on who ‘Cal’ is?
Does Cal read over here at JJ, but post over on d2d? Cal is short for her nick. She reads here and posts over there. More than likely she will be invisible here and everywhere else, but we have the same ideas…so you can read our posts together over there. It will implode as does all “corrupt” dictatorships…but there are good minds that can stop it, just a matter of recognizing the issue. It is a great concept, I hope they can salvage it!! As for hottie Sienna—damn, she is trampy

Hee!

Why do you think he didnt turn up for the First Light Movie Awards?
He wasnt going to turn up on his own (shows you how pathetic their relationship is) so he didnt at all because Sienna was front and center.
Satsuki still is upset over that and he knows it, why is that? Has he not done enough to make up for it?
No, apparently she still holds the noose around his neck for that.
Evidently she doesn’t have the confidence to look Sienna in the eye.

If you are confident in your relationship then why the problem?
I would turn up with him and really rub it in.

no comparison @ 05/31/2009 at 9:53 pm

i mean really, sienna or gonk face? im sure he bangs satsuki and thinks of sienna.

_____________________________________________________
EXACTLY RIGHT! You either trust eachother or you DON’T and I guess they don’t trust each other or….correction…The Gonk does not trust Daniel as far as she could throw him!! And that is not far, at all!

I would turn up with him and really rub it in.
______________________________________________________
Absolutely! If the Gonk was really smart, she would have looked great and turned up with Daniel and REALLy rubbed it in!

BUT WHY is she even mad a Daniel? It is not his fault that Sienna Miller was invited to First Light…it was the Awards show producers ….
They invited Sienna, not Daniel.
Daniel did nothing wrong to the GOnk and he should have gone anyway and showed up for the First Light without the whiny gf!

GOnk has no reason to be mad at him for First Light, like it was his fault Sienna was invited…. Gonk may be mad at Daniel for having an affair with Sienna though, and it still hurts, plus daniel really liked her in Layercake and wanted her as a Bond Girl, or so it was said in the papers/mags.

she would have looked great
==================================================

I think you’re pushing it there. ;)

I read today that Daniel might have signed up to play a Northern Irish boxer with Angie Jolie as his wife.
It’s on wiki I think.

http://i578.photobucket.com/albums/ss229/satslumdog/ny.jpg

imagine her turning up like this and competing with Sienna.
clothes just hang off her and she does not know how to stand. she slouches.
daniel thought is best probably not to further embarrass satsuki as he knows sienna would have stole the show.

When I see that pic all i can think of is that she looks like a witch dressed up for Halloween. All she is missing is her broom and hat!!! Sienna is a sexy, glamorous actress-no contest there. Awhile ago I would have thrown Sats a bone and said maybe her personality is nice but she has shown to be the opposite. Over the last couple of years she has just presented herself as a wannabe celeb who is only a gopher in designer clothes.

Cinderellaland /SatSKEEVY @ 05/31/2009 at 10:19 pm

@gonk face after free meal:
THE GONK SHOW:
A Perfect Picture of her usual self!
That was a white tablecloth 5 star restaurant ( IIFC the restaurant was Harry Ciprianis )and her outfit was horrendous, and so is she!
Her whole jacket was open in the front!
I think her REAL name is not Gonk, it is SatSKEEVY, White Trash because that is what she shows the world she is in this photo!
How inappropriate she is dressed!
Gonk really epitomizes white trash.

Well there isnt a comparison is there? Anyway, be prepared for pics of Gonk and Daniel in NY for 3 months..can we stand it?
Going to rehearsals, leaving, going to the show, leaving, signing autographs…and she will be there.

The woman needs to relax about Daniel. What is she so afraid of? Losing him? Why?

What is she so afraid of? Losing him? Why?
====================================================

Maybe she knows their relationship is on shaky ground and he is now disinterested but just hanging on?
Multitude of reasons why she is there 24/7 and please, none of this “because he wants her there” rubbish.
Let’s not be so naive here.
She doesn’t trust him.
She doesn’t trust other women.
Volatile mix.

Cinderellaland /SatSKEEVY @ 05/31/2009 at 10:35 pm

Gonk should be scared and insecure.
I think as time goes on, Gonk is gettting more and more insecure because of no wedding.
Gonk is clinging onto the threads of his coattails by the ends of her fingernails.
The longer time ticks by without the wedding cake, the more insecure, possessive and clingy she is going to get.
Her window is closing.
If he dumps her, where is she going to go? She cannot support herself in the luxury lifestyle she has become accustomed to.
No one wants to work with her.
It is a WAY DOWN to the bottom for her.
Looka t Sarah larson, she can’t even get arrested today, all because she pushed it a little too hard with Clooney and broke the ‘camel’s back” as they say.
There is no way she is going to lose her Golden Meal Ticket now.
No. way. Jose.

re cipriani's @ 05/31/2009 at 10:36 pm

I agree, although he looked the worse for wear that night too.
She seems to dress like him all the time.
Well they left seperately then too like now. You would think they would be used to the paps outside now and just hold hands and leave together.
After 5 years of dealing with them (paps), you would think that and it’s not about safety. What was the excuse then in Oct 2005 when those pics were taken at Cipriani’s?
Load of bollocks the whole safety thing.

Well said and Daniel knows that. I’m sure he is making sure she will have money and set up somewhere.
She is set no matter what happens so what is taking Daniel so long?

I’ll tell you what: he hasn’t found another woman as that is the only reason he’ll leave her. Or maybe he has but is trying to find the right dumping time and place.

I really feel we will not see her at the Bond 23 premieres (2011).

Cinderellaland stink-ola @ 05/31/2009 at 11:01 pm

@to 351:
Everyone seems to feel she is getting a payday but I disagree.
He has given her TONS of things along the way.
Money and clothes and trips and luxuries…all add up.
He may give her something -because he wants to- but legally she is not entitled.
They are not married and she is not entitled to anything as a girlfriend.
Living together 4 years?? no. She did her job with him and Daniel can easily prove she was well compensated BEYOND what most , if any, girlfriends get after a break up with a movie star.
THis especially holds true if he paid her a salary for the work she did for him- whatever it was.
Legally he is not obligated.
Many will disagree with me but I am sticking to this.
If she had a child with him, the whole entire ball game would change, and he would be paying out of his pocket.
But at this point, he is not legally obligated.
HOWEVER what Daniel does give to her out of his own free will, that of course is up to him, but I doubt he will be going bankrupt over it.
In addition, he has lawyers and accountants I am sure who will be advising him.

Cinderellaland stink-ola @ 05/31/2009 at 11:08 pm

In addition, If the diamond ring she wears is real, and not out of a gumball machine or a crackerjack box, then she can sell that.
ALL of the things he has given her, the jewelry and clothes, and the CAR (BMW?) he bought her - if he did buy her a car- all add up.
She can’t claim ‘poor” at this point.
She can sell all of that stuff and make a small fortune.

And there is no reason she can’t go home to Portland and get a job-

These are US totals only. I think on a worldwide basis (unsure) that QofS may have done even better than CR. I don’t know how to find worldwide totals though.

Hi, on another thread, I had tried to post comments before and gotten that “awaiting moderation” message, only to shortly find the post not added. I think it happens if you mention *some* websites names, or certain words, and I reworded my post three times before it finally did post without a problem. So, for websites and stuff I spell it wrong so it’ll get posted. I do NOT get why *I* had trouble just because I used another sites’ name, in this case it was a brit site, and yet other people on here can manage to get by with using actual curse words without even using asterisks. It’s WEIRD. So if you get the message again, just try eliminating or misspelling site names, or any words you think that may have activated what seems to be a computer moderator. Good luck.

here…worldwide $575,952,505

type in CR and you can then compare..this is a great site to give you numbers

Do you (or anybody) know what date (month, day, year) they went to Cipriani’s? Thanks.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=jamesbond21.htm

worldwide $594,239,066
so CR made a little more than qos

Thanks for the website and info!

The GONG/GONK show @ 05/31/2009 at 11:58 pm

@to 359:
I see the Gonk is wearing the ring before the premiere of CR in November 2006.
But it looks like she is wearing it on her right hand.
I think this whole ‘ring thing’ is a ‘fake-out’ to everyone.

Yes I saw that but the ring she wore then had one pearl on it. She wore it at the Infamous premiere too. It can look the same from a distance.

She did wear the diamond on the set of CR too but on her right hand also but she wore the pearl ring too on her right hand and it was seen at various things before CR.
She did not wear either to the CR premiere though.
Yes it is very curious. Look up the Infamous premiere and you will see the pearl ring.
