Star Sighting & Gossip

I forgot to mention I saw Ron Rifkin riding a bicycle on the Disney lot last Friday as H and I walked out to the parking garage. He’s more handsome in real life.

Gossip From The Costume Dept:
Big Star only wears cashmere socks. Not only that, he wears them home at the end of the day, so he gets a new pair daily. Those things aren’t cheap and when you realize we shot for something like 70 days, that’s a lot of socks.

More Gossip From The Costume Dept:
Semi-Big Star got a new pair of boxer briefs every day and also wore them home at the end of the night. I think they were always CK’s. Anyway, one day the costume supervisor was picking up laundry from the trailers and realized he’d left a pair behind. She thought it was odd but picked them up anyway and threw them in the wash. It wasn’t until she was getting them out of the dryer that she realized why he’d left them behind… he’d, um, soiled them. As H put it, “like he trusted a fart he shouldn’t have”. They were sealed into a ziploc and used for the rest of the show as a nasty surprise in the trailer.

Semi-Big Star also had an issue with “guests” staying at his hotel after he wrapped and left Boston. The hotel said that his room was occupied for 2 extra days by the “friends” the star had brought in for “entertainment”. Subtle enough for you?
