8:20AM STV | Fearless Predictions, with Oliver Stone: Cindy Adams has been there from the beginning with W., with her ambitious rewrite earlier this summer recently giving way to a late bit of story consulting with director Oliver Stone. Trouble persists at the 11th hour, however, as Stone’s satiric dystopia hardly conforms to Adams’s more optimistic vision at all: “There’s no malice in the movie. It’s just that it becomes obvious Bush’s legacy has been trashed. The family name doesn’t mean anything anymore. Like, for instance, Jeb Bush will never be president.” And what will the president think of the film? “He’ll say it’s horseshit.” Wait until he sees how our crystal ball plays it out. [NYP] More »

Gifted Cindy Adams Rewrites ‘W’ Script Just in Time for Shooting

While we’d obviously read a few mildly tantalising reviews in the last month (which is evidently news to Adams, who appears to think she’s the only one who’s nabbed a copy of the script) it takes a certain rare, Cindyesque fortitude and genius to condense the entirety of Stanley Weiser’s 125-page screenplay to a single gossip column in the New York Post:

Does Nicole Kidman Have The Meanest Publicist In Hollywood?

11:40AM Molly Friedman | Publicists tend to be one of two things: boring, lips-sealed mouthpieces armed with “no comment” at every twist and turn or loud-mouthed toughies whose sole duty on this planet is to defend their Amazonian clients. Nicole Kidman, for better or worse, is repped by the latter: one Catherine Olim, who sent out a nasty rebuttal regarding NY Post columnist Cindy Adams’ claims that knocked up Nic threw a few back at the Oscars. And despite our affection for long-time gossip Adams and her kookily nonsensical musings, we’re officially on Team Olim after hearing this statement: “I cannot remember that last time that Cindy Adams got anything right. She’s an idiot, and you can quote me.” More »
