Bruce Springsteen Jokes About DWI Arrest In Broadway Return: “I Had To Go To Zoom Court!” - Stereogum

On Saturday night, Bruce Springsteen returned to Broadway for another run of Springsteen On Broadway shows. It was the first show to be performed in a Broadway theater to a real audience since the start of the pandemic — musicals aren’t due to return to the Great White Way until September.

During the show, Springsteen addressed his DWI arrest that happened last year. It was the first time he’s talked about it publicly. (The most serious charges ended up being dropped and he pled guilty to drinking in a closed area.) After listing off everything he’s been up to during the pandemic (new album, radio show, Barack Obama podcast), he ended with: “I was handcuffed and thrown in jail.”

“I didn’t wake up one morning, get on my motorcycle and say, ‘I think I’ll drive to jail,” he continued, per Rolling Stone:

And then I had to go to Zoom Court! My case was the United States of America vs. Bruce Springsteen. That’s always comfortable to hear, that the entire nation is aligned against you. ‘You have managed to engage in an act so heinous that it was offended the entire fuckin’ United States! You, my recalcitrant, law-breaking, bridge-and-tunnel friend have drunk two shots of tequila.’ New Jersey, they love me there!

The rest of the show proceeded mostly like his other Springsteen On Broadway sets, though he did bring out his wife Patti Scialfa for an additional duet of “Fire.” He also talked a bit about the recent political climate toward the end of the show. “We are living in troubled and troubling times,” he said. “I don’t believe I’ve seen, certainly not in my lifetime, [a time] when democracy itself, not just who is going to be running the show for the next four years, but survival of democracy itself was as deeply threatened.”

His run of Broadway shows will continue through early September.

Elizabeth Hurley says it was a ‘nightmare’ working with Matthew Perry amid actor's addiction - Fox News

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
