The movie Broken City opens tonight. I’m guessing it’ll be huge. It’s got Mark Wahlberg for the ladies. Russell Crowe for the mature ladies. And best of all – no singing from Mr. Crowe. He does attempt a New York accent with mixed results.

Well, I was reading the paper and had the TV on Anderson Cooper. He had a few of the cast members on the show, and they were taking questions from the audience. Of course, that meant one woman had to ask Wahlberg to take his shirt off (he refused). Here’s a Wahlberg fun fact (and one I wouldn’t bring up when asking him for an autograph): He was born with a third nipple. I read once that happens with just under 10% of the population).

Jeffrey Wright, a great character actor, wasn’t asked as many questions, but Mr. Cooper – always the professional reporter – brought up a funny situation. He asked about how his son asked for some autographs. Wright told the story (which I’m paraphrasing here):

My 11-year-old wanted autographs of Josh (Hutcherson) and Jennifer (Lawrence), since we’re filming the next Hunger Games. I told him it wouldn’t be a problem, and he asked for about 5 or 6 from each of them. I asked if he wanted the autographs made out to certain friends of his, and he said no. This got me curious, and so I asked why he wanted them. He said to give to the cute 7^th grade girls to impress them.

Now, I always love when other actors talk about getting autographs from their co-stars, but hearing a story involving a kid so young – and for the purpose of meeting girls – you gotta love that.
