Lily Tomlin changed Michaels’ life
When working as a writer in California in the early 1970s, he met with the character actor about doing a special together. Michaels confesses to feeling a bit lost and wondering “if I could do the things I wanted to do.” Tomlin, whom he calls “a braver spirit than I was,” not only picks him to help with the special, but vouches for him as a producer. Once the show won an Emmy, Michaels says the credibility helped him when creating the show with NBC.

*Don’t wonder if you can do the things that you want to do. Have a brave spirit and know that you can accomplish anything. If you can’t, ask a friend for help.

BODY

You’re looking at storyboards and you see that Rachel Weisz is going to spit in your mouth. What was your reaction to that?
MCADAMS: [Laughs] I was excited that Sebastián was doing something new. It’s provocative and brings the audience into something intimate…. The makeup department tested out different flavors of lube the night before to use as the spit. We settled on lychee-flavored!

“We found a way to work out every day, even if we had to do it at 4 a.m.”

*Wake up at 4 am and do this Rachel McAdams high intensity workout. Later this afternoon, go on a bike ride to the beach with someone other than your boyfriend. Watch McAdams in Disobedience, Spotlight, and/or Wedding Crashers for motivation. Just don’t be a Mean Girl today.

SOUL

As for his height, far from being a disadvantage among Hollywood’s beautiful people, DeVito feels it helped him stand out. “Because I wasn’t so average. Early on, when I’d go in for a part, people would go, ‘Oh’. [Interested stare.] Later, when they rewind that meeting, it would be, ‘We’ve seen 20 actors for the role of the servant in The Merry Wives of Windsor, but wait a minute, we’ve done this already with this guy, so let’s try this Danny guy.’ I got two Shakespeare parts like that.”

He’s become something of a national treasure, beloved by all, frowned upon by none. Even when he showed up drunk on The View in 2006, calling George Bush a “numbnuts” and blabbing on about having sex with wife-of-33-years Rhea Perlman in the Lincoln Bedroom at the White House, the ladies in charge couldn’t have been more tickled. And, in 2013, not even the hardcore gossip rags could bring themselves to delve too deeply into DeVito’s five-month separation from Perlman (herself a national treasure, for her role as Carla on Cheers).

*What makes you not so average? Use that today to your advantage. Be proud of who you are and use your uniqueness today. Watch Danny DeVito almost win an Oscar in Erin Brockovich or in his TV show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia for motivation.

It Got Scorsese His Only Oscar Scorsese, one of the all-time greatest filmmakers, has won only one Academy Award in his six-decade career — for directing “The Departed.”

IN THE DEPARTED, X MARKS THE SPOT.

Whenever anybody is killed onscreen or talks about murder, Scorsese had a hidden “X” positioned somewhere in the frame as an homage to the 1932 version of Scarface (another of Scorsese’s favorite movies) which does the same thing.

*Watch Martin Scorsese direct an all-star cast and win his only Oscar in The Departed.
