I also get the impression that the actors and musicians that chose to live in Manhattan have learned how to get along with civilians. If they couldn't they would be in LA or somewhere else they can be more isolated.
Apropos of nothing, my friends lived in the same building near the meatpacking district as Paul Rudd. That's where I saw Dave Gahan in the parking garage. I enjoy a good celebrity sighting, not because I'm particularly interested in celebrities, per se, but it's just always interesting to see somebody in three dimensions that you've previously only seen in two. I imagine it's how bird-watchers feel.

I can't explain why, but I listened to her autobiography on Audible. I think I'd like her if I knew her, but the only films of hers that I really liked a lot is Up in the Air and Rocket Science. She was also in Into the Woods, which is fine if one likes that kind of thing. She's also one of a very small number of very famous people from Maine.

They're on a couch with some British comedian or sportsperson they'd never heard of before, and the Hollywood stars can mock and be mocked like old pals, or not. The "good" list includes Hanks, Pratt, LeBlanc and Jennifers Aniston and Lawrence. The "bad" is most of them.

A lot of actors get extremely nervous on those talk shows.
Since Carson, it has not been common in the US to have more than one guest on the couch at once. Corden does that. I’m not a fan. It’s too much chaos for that hour of night. I vastly preferred the Craig Ferguson show which had that slot before on CBS. It was much more relaxed.

But they're not performing a character, they're being themselves. A lot of actors get into the craft because they're insecure, and performing gives them confidence. Trying to tell anecdotes in front of millions live must be hell if you're not wired that way.

She’s ok. I like her in the Pirates movies, Begin Again, Never Let Me Go and the Jane Austen one she did.
But there are lots of attractive English actresses with somewhat posh accents in their 30s who are a bit better - Felicity Jones and Carrie Mulligan, for example, maybe Daisy Ridley. In baseball terms, her WAR is about 1.2.
