Baz Luhrmann Records New ‘Sunscreen’ For Coronavirus Pandemic 2020, With Help From Queen Elizabeth II

EXCLUSIVE: Baz Luhrmann has Sunscreen, a new pandemic-relevant version of Everybody’s Free To Wear Sunscreen, the 1999 spoken word song that featured a common sense essay written as a hypothetical commencement speech with advice on how to live a happy, healthy life. Luhrmann this time sets to music mostly to the inspiring speech given recently by Queen Elizabeth II, which gave the pandemic a historical perspective on overcoming crises going back to WWII.

Luhrmann was struck by that speech, and felt it was an exception to the lack of straight-shooting words of comfort in these times. He got together with his music team over Zoom last weekend and made the remix with the Queen’s speech and Vera Lynn’s “We’ll Meet Again”. If enough people from all walks of life send Baz a video of themselves singing to it — the place to send is sunscreen@bazmark.com — the Moulin Rouge director will cut a video from that, in an effort to spread a little community and joy.
Luhrmann expected to be right to not be preoccupied with the Queen, but rather The King, as in Elvis Presley. He was about to start production on that untitled film in Australia for Warner Bros, with Austin Butler playing the singer. Tom Hanks, who plays Presley mentor/manager Col. Tom Parker, was in Australia when he shocked the world and came down with the coronavirus, which Deadline exclusively revealed March 11. The original Sunscreenhit number one in Ireland and the UK, and this one might just catch on, possibly adding rock star aura to the venerable monarch. And hopefully soon, Luhrmann can get back to The King. Below is the new version of Sunscreen, and below that the original

Meghan Markle Thinks Hollywood Offers Are “Cheesy and Beneath Her,”

After moving to Hollywood recently with husband Harry, 35, Meghan has been inundated with offers left-and-right - and according to a source, she thinks that majority of them are “cheesy and beneath her!”  Meghan apparently wants a very specific kind of role for her acting comeback, and has “been telling her agents that she wants Ava DuVernay involved, and that they need to find the right script.”  The insider however thinks that Meghan is being totally delusional with her demands, and says: “Meghan is worried that she won’t be taken seriously as an actress.  Meghan has made it clear to her team that she will only work with A-list directors, but she doesn’t understand that this doesn’t necessarily mean they want to work with her.  This could end up being a very lengthy and tedious process because Meghan wants to control every aspect of whatever project she ends up doing. ”  Meghan and Harry have also been flooded with offers from Japan for commercials, with the source saying that “

How to tell if Queen Elizabeth is just not that into you

صورة
If you’re ever talking to  Queen Elizabeth and  she twists her wedding ring — watch out: she’s just not that into you and looking to escape. Being the Queen has its advantages, but one of the drawbacks is she has to constantly make small talk with many, many people and often gets stuck in rudderless conversations. At home in Buckingham Palace, it’s easy — the Queen has a discreet buzzer she presses when she’s ready for her guest to leave. But in public, it’s much more difficult. So she and her aides have come up with subtle and ingenious ways to keep her moving. A clue that the Queen is done chatting when she’s at a social event is that she’ll move her handbag to her other arm, which will bring over her handlers to take her away,  according to People magazine . “It would be done very nicely,” royal historian Hugo Vickers told the mag. “Someone would come along and say, ‘Sir, the Archbishop of Canterbury would very much like to meet yo

Tangier, the beautiful Moroccan city

Tanger, cité blanche qui, perchée sur une butte, surveille tous azimuts l’Europe et l’Afrique, l’Atlantique et la Méditerranée. Ville de tous les échanges, polyculturelle, premier port d’Afrique, porte d’entrée d’un monde d’exotisme pour des générations de peintres et d’écrivains en mal d’inspiration. Nous avions découvert Tanger mystérieuse et mélancolique dans le film  Only lovers left alive , puis l’avions admirée, magique et envoûtante, sur des photographies. Enfin, après plusieurs années à rêver d’elle, nous voilà à sa porte. Nous choisissons de loger au cœur de la médina afin de mieux nous perdre dans l’ambiance intemporelle de ses ruelles. Nous perdre… c’est le cas de le dire. Chaque fois que nous sortons, nous nous emmêlons les pinceaux.
