My husband and I have been together over five years and have never been to the movies together. It takes an act of God or Robert Downey, Jr. to get me to watch movies in a communal and over-air conditioned setting. But this could be the weekend that I break rank and actually go to the movies. Do you think they’ll let me bring in my Snuggie?
Last night was the premiere of The Soloist, a movie that sounds fascinating to me. It’s a true story of a musician, played by Jamie Foxx, a prodigious violinist and cellist who starts suffering from schizophrenia while studying at Julliard. He ends up becoming one of L.A.’s homeless.
So, yeah. Totally putting on my bubblegum-dodging shoes and going to see this.
Beyond all the beautiful people at the screening last night (how is Halle Berry allowed to still look as amazing as she does?), Nathaniel Ayers, the man that the movie is based on, also attended.
You know who else was there? Eva Pigford. If you watch America’s Next Top Model, you’ll recognize her as the third season winner. I was reading a little bit about her and she changed her name to Eva Marcille, but that never took because people already know her with the pig name. Now she’s engaged to an actor-Lance Gross. Obviously, Eva is just destined to have a horrible last name no matter what.
