Danny DeVito Recalls Crushing on Co-star Michelle Pfeiffer During Batman Returns: 'She Was a Goddess'
'If I knew she was going to be in a scene that day…I got all flushed. Put extra makeup on, 'Give me another pound of makeup.' It was very difficult,' DeVito recalled.
DeVito clarified that it was his character, Oswald Cobblepot, not him personally, who was 'lustful.' He laughed when co-star Colin Farrell asked if Pfeiffer ever called security on him.
DeVito replied, 'I kind of feel like she liked it. She liked Oswald.' His remark suggests that Pfeiffer appreciated the energy he brought as a Penguin. Despite playing a despicable character, DeVito made it clear he never carried that role home.
Asked whether he ever took the character home, Danny DeVito firmly replied that he went home to Rhea Perlman and the kids. DeVito and Perlman have been married since 1982 and share three children: Lucy, Gracie, and Jack.
Though the couple separated in 2017, they remain married. DeVito shared that regardless of the brutal or despicable roles he plays, he always sheds that persona once he leaves the set.
Meanwhile, Michelle Pfeiffer continues to impress fans with stunning, makeup-free selfies that showcase her ageless looks. In April, she was honored with a hand and footprints ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, appearing in a chic black suit and satin blouse.
Pfeiffer has been married to TV writer and producer David E. Kelley since 1993. The couple shares two children: Claudia, 32, and John, 30.
DeVito and Farrell also discussed their views on alcohol. Farrell, sober since 2005, influenced DeVito to cut back. DeVito admitted he still enjoys just a sip of wine and likes gin martinis with cigars. However, when he's on the health kick, he avoids alcohol altogether. Both actors agreed they feel much better without heavy drinking.

Diddy's lawyers call verdict 'great victory' even as music mogul is denied bail
Music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs was found guilty of prostitution-related offenses but cleared of more serious charges. Later, his team of lawyers came forward to talk about the mixed verdict of the criminal trial, calling it a great victory. Also read: What serious charges was Sean 'Diddy' Combs cleared of—and why is he still in jail? Sean 'Diddy' Combs cleared of most serious charges, to remain jailed for now(Reuters) His lawyers spoke about the verdict during a brief press conference outside the courthouse, reports Variety. 'Today's a great victory... 'It's a great victory for Sean Combs, it's a great victory for the jury system. One thing stands between all of us and a prison, and that is a jury of 12 citizens,' said Combs' lead counsel, Marc Agnifilo, adding that the jurors 'got the situation right—or, certainly, right enough.' While Combs was convicted and faces a maximum of 20 years in prison, he dodged sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have landed him behind bars for life. Fellow defense attorney Teny Geragos also shared, 'Sean Combs has not sexually assaulted anybody. I've been saying that for months. Attorney Nicole Westmoreland thanked the media and said she was 'proud' of Combs because he 'actually battled for his freedom'. Her co-counsel Xavier Donaldson said 'the job is not done yet', but the defense team refused to answer whether they would appeal the judge's denial of bail. While not giving specifics, Agnifilo said that they are "not nearly done fighting', adding that they will not stop fighting 'until he walks out of prison a free man to his family.' The jury delivered the mixed verdict Wednesday morning, after a grueling eight-week trial in which 34 witnesses, including ex-girlfriends and former employees, accused Combs of crimes ranging from kidnapping to arson to rape and physical assault. Upon hearing the verdict, Combs pumped his fist and mouthed 'thank you' at the jurors. More about the verdict Sean Diddy Combs was found guilty on Wednesday of prostitution-related offences, but cleared of more serious charges after a criminal trial in which two of the music mogul's former girlfriends testified that he physically and sexually abused them. He was convicted of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking, a partial win for the former billionaire known for elevating hip-hop in American culture. Prosecutors say Combs, for two decades, used his business empire to force two of his romantic partners to take part in drug-fueled, days-long sexual performances sometimes known as "Freak Offs" with male sex workers in hotel rooms while Combs watched, masturbated and occasionally filmed. During raids of Combs' homes, authorities found drugs and 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant that he would use in the performances, prosecutors said. Combs, 55, had pleaded not guilty to all five counts.

Brad Pitt, 'F1' director Joseph Kosinski hail filming during Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as 'unprecedented endeavour'
Actor Brad Pitt and director Joseph Kosinski have praised their experience filming ' The Movie' during the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, describing it as a landmark moment in motorsport cinema. Actor Brad Pitt and director Joseph Kosinski have praised their experience filming 'F1: The Movie' during the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, describing it as a landmark moment in motorsport cinema. A newly released promotional video by the Abu Dhabi Film Commission and Creative Media Authority sheds light on the project's ambitious production inside one of Formula 1's most iconic venues, Yas Marina Circuit. The production team, including Pitt and co-star Damson Idris, spent a cumulative 29 days shooting in Abu Dhabi across three phases, working alongside local production company Epic Films, according to Variety. Notably, the crew filmed during live racing at multiple Formula 1 events, including the British Grand Prix, the Rolex 24 at Daytona, and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, making F1 one of the first feature films to integrate actual race-day footage from a Formula 1 event. Joseph Kosinski, best known for 'Top Gun: Maverick', praised Yas Marina Circuit as an "ideal place to film," citing its visual uniqueness and high production value. "It's such a distinct setting in such a beautiful location," he said in the video, as quoted by Variety. Kosinski also noted the unprecedented cooperation of all ten Formula 1 teams, allowing the filmmakers to shoot scenes during a live race. "To have all ten teams allow us to shoot a scene for an hour -- that was a really incredible experience," he added, as quoted by Variety.

He emphasised the realism of the production setup and said, "We had every car in their team. It was like creating an 11th team on the grid." Tim Bampton, executive producer on the film, underscored the complexity of integrating a fictional team into an actual pit lane. "Bringing in a major movie production to create an 11th team in the pit lane was a really unprecedented endeavour," Bampton said, as quoted by Variety. 'F1: The Movie' premiered in the Middle East at Yas Marina Circuit on June 26 and has seen strong box office results, especially in the United Arab Emirates. The film recorded a USD 2.7 million opening in the UAE, marking the biggest ever regional debut for a Brad Pitt film and for an Apple-backed title in the market. The success of F1 aligns with Abu Dhabi's ongoing strategy to attract large-scale international film productions. The emirate recently enhanced its film rebate scheme, offering up to 50 per cent reimbursement on qualified below-the-line expenditures starting January. Abu Dhabi has previously hosted major Hollywood blockbusters, including 'Dune: Part Two', 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens', 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One', and 'Furious 7', alongside major Bollywood productions like 'Tiger Zinda Hai' and 'Vikram Vedha'.
