Hollywood actor Jamie Lee Curtis is copping a backlash online for her strange outburst on the red carpet at a recent awards show – seemingly unaware that she was dressing down her hosts for the evening.
Curtis was a guest at the recent Las Culturistas Culture Awards at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles. The tongue-in-cheek pop culture-themed awards (some sample categories: the Woman of a Certain Age Award and Best Title for the Next Bridget Jones) are the brainchild of comedians and podcasters Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers.
The pair were on the red carpet outside the Orpheum, answering some questions for media outlet Vulture, which had asked them to recite some iconic movie lines into the camera.
Saturday Night Live star Yang was giving it his best Julia Roberts as Erin Brokovich, delivering the line 'I'm not talkin' to you, b****!', when suddenly Curtis appeared beside them, interrupting the vox pop and looking agitated.
'We're quoting Julia Roberts,' Rogers explained, perhaps worried Curtis had thought that particular quote was directed at her.

Guy Montgomery's spelling bee show interrupted by audience heckler
She eventually locked in 'Austria' as her answer, before a heckler in the audience quickly corrected her and yelled out, 'Poland!' The contestants could not believe it. '[That's] absolutely illegal,' host Montgomery said to the audience member, much to the amusement of others in the crowd. Speaking to about the hilarious incident, Montgomery said, 'it was just a moment of, not madness, but something got away from them [the audience member] where they had to pitch in'. He continued: 'The show does draw an audience of word nerds or people who believe in themselves as spellers and there is a sense of excitement and frustration that can occur when they're watching a contestant who's approaching a word or so close to being able to spell it'. When asked if he had any words of advice for future audience members, Montgomery joked: 'Keep your mouth shut! Pull your frickin' head in!' Roll with the punches Whereas most taped TV quiz shows would have edited the moment out, Montgomery was adamant he wanted to leave it in the final episode. 'I like that in the world of the show, we can just sort of roll with that,' he told 'It's like, 'well that is incredibly unusual and kind of funny and I guess builds on the lunacy and the madness of the universe that we're trying to have inside the spelling bee.'' Other contestants As mentioned, Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee has featured some of Australia's favourite personalities as contestants. Tim Minchin, Wil Anderson, Urzila Carlson, and Tony Armstrong are just some of the big names who competed in the show's first season. When asked which contestant he was most excited about in the upcoming second season, Montgomery named Hamish Blake. 'I grew up a fan [of his] … he's such an influential Australian television comedy figure.' Others who'll feature in season two include Julia Morris, Rove McManus, Denise Scott, Becky Lucas, Josh Thomas and Dave Hughes. Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee returns for season two tonight on ABC TV, with all episodes available to stream on ABC iview. –
