Richard Simmons in 2013

BY TONY RIZZO HOLLYWOOD -- Former exercise guru Richard Simmons has kept a low profile for the last five years, but came out of hiding to denounce a proposed film starring comic Pauly Shore as Simmons.

“Hi, everybody!” wrote Simmons on a Facebook post. “You may have heard they may be doing a movie about me with Pauly Shore. I have never given my permission for this movie. So don’t believe everything you read. I no longer have a manager, and I no longer have a publicist. I just try to live a quiet life and be peaceful. Thank you for all your love and support!”

Unfortunately for Simmons, they don’t need his permission to make a movie about him. Celebrities are considered public domain. Now should the filmmakers defame or malign you, then you have recourse to sue. But he’s got another problem besides the feature film rumored to be in development. A short film starring Shore as Simmons, titled “The Court Jester,” already premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 19 and is available on YouTube. ***

EAST LOCATION

Sad news for Barbra Streisand! Her 1,000-page memoir has -- dare we say? -- flopped! Despite prime interviews everywhere, “My Name Is Barbra” sold little over 200,000 copies, while Prince Harry’s book, “Spare,” sold 3.2 million copies across all formats.

Britney Spears’ memoir, “The Woman in Me,” sold 1.1 million copies.

In addition, Streisand’s film company, Barwood Films, may be in hot water because they paid her groundskeeper $200,000, which allegedly came from the Paycheck Protection Program. The program was intended to help small businesses make payroll in 2020 and 2021, and the loans were written off by the federal government. *** You knew there would be a threequel in the “Top Gun” franchise after the $1.5 billion grosses of “Maverick.” Ehren Kruger is writing a screenplay that would bring back Miles Teller and Glen Powell. This explains why Tom Cruise’s recent move to Warner Bros. was “nonexclusive,” leaving the door open for his return to Paramount for the “Maverick” sequel.

Meanwhile, Teller has

the Apple TV+ romanticaction film “The Gorge” with Anya Taylor-Joy and Sigourney Weaver coming soon. Powell has the $200-million disaster film “Twisters” with Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos due in theaters on July 19. *** Pedro Pascal, the busiest actor in Hollywood, has “Drive-Away Dolls” coming Feb. 23; “Gladiator 2” on Nov. 22; “The Uninvited” sometime in March; plus the drama “Freaky Tales” and the thriller “Tropico” with Willem Dafoe on his vision board for 2024! No release dates yet for the last two. *** Jennifer Coolidge, who took home Emmys two years in a row for “The White Lotus” (her winning streak is over now since she was killed off), is headed for the big screen with Jason Momoa and Jack Black for the film adaptation of the popular video game “Minecraft.”

Those of us who loved her and never missed her in the CBS series “2 Broke Girls” knew Coolidge was destined for bigger things. And a “Broke Girl” she is not!

DIVAS ON A DIME

Big game, big easy bites: Mardi Gras meets Super Bowl in a flavorful fete! note)

BY PATTI DIAMOND ince the Super Bowl is Sunday, Feb 11, and Mardi Gras is Tuesday, February 13, choosing just one celebration to feature for the week felt impossible.

So, why limit the joy?

Let’s do both at the same time!

A Mardi Gras and Super Bowl combo is like a party explosion waiting to happen as we combine the vibrant flavors of Louisiana with the finger-licking goodness of Super Bowl snacks.

Let’s make Jazzed-Up Jambalaya Nachos and Creole Queso. We’ll transform the classic Super Bowl nachos by topping them with a zesty jambalaya mix, loaded with spicy sausage and shrimp.

A generous dollop of Creole Queso completes this festive fusion. And I’ll share my creole seasoning recipe too.

What’s the difference between Creole and Cajun seasoning? While both share common elements, Creole cuisine has a milder flavor compared to Cajun, which tends to be spicier and more robust.

If you enjoy spicier foods, swap the Creole seasoning for Cajun.

S

1 celery rib, sliced 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning 1 (12 ounce) bag tortilla chips 12 ounces large or medium shrimp, raw, peeled and deveined 2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (like Old Bay) 1 recipe Creole Queso OR 2 cups Colby Jack cheese, shredded *Note: If you can’t find the frozen veggie blend, use 1 small yellow onion, diced; half red bell pepper, sliced; and half green bell pepper, sliced.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Slice the andouille into thin half-moons and saute in 1/2 table-spoon olive oil for 3 minutes. Add onion, bell peppers, celery and seasoning, cook for an additional 5 minutes or until veggies are soft. Line a baking sheet with foil, and spread tortilla chips. Top with the sausage mix.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, toss shrimp with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and seafood seasoning. Cook in the same skillet for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the shrimp is opaque. Sprinkle shrimp over the nachos. Drizzle with Creole Queso or sprinkle Colby Jack cheese on top.

Preheat the oven’s broiler to low, and broil until cheese melts.

CREOLE QUESO Yield: 5 cups

Total Time: 10 minutes 1 (8 ounce) block cream cheese, softened

JAZZED-UP JAMBALAYA NACHOS

4 cups Colby Jack cheese, shredded

Yield: 8 servings

1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies

Total Time: 30 minutes 1 (12 to 14 ounce) andouille or other smoked sausage, sliced

1 tablespoon Creole seasoning 1/2 to 1 cup milk, warmed

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

In microwave-safe bowl, combine all ingredients.

Microwave in 60-second intervals, stirring until cheese is

1 (16-ounce) frozen three pepper and onion blend* (see

melted and dip is well blended.

Thin to your desired consistency with hot milk.

Here’s a Creole seasoning recipe that’s perfect for these recipes. But the magic doesn’t stop here; sprinkle it on roasted vegetables, grilled meats or even popcorn for a Creoleinfused treat.

DIY CREOLE SEASONING BLEND Yield: About 3/4 cup

Total Time: 5 minutes 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika 1 1/2 tablespoons salt 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon dried oregano 1 tablespoon dried basil 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon white pepper 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste In a small mixing bowl, stir all ingredients until combined.

Store in an airtight container.

Whether your team wins or not, I encourage you to embrace the spirit of “Laissez les bons temps rouler” (let the good times roll). Life’s too short to choose between holidays -let’s celebrate them all!

Cheers!

KOVELS’ ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING Advertising Icons

Silhouettes and profile images date to ancient times. Usually limited to the head and shoulders, the shape is a filled solid color attached to a highcontrast background. Featureless, but easily recognizable, they offer fast identification.

Silhouettes were at their peak of popularity in the late 18th century as an inexpensive way to create a portrait miniature. Cutting a person’s likeness from paper was the simplest and most economical way to document their image. They have been used on coins since ancient times and still are today. Because they are used on currency, some of the most recognizable silhouettes in the United States are former presidents.

Can you recognize any in this framed set? George Washington is in the center, of course, surrounded by the next 16 presidents.

This set was made about 1870 and sold for $2,688 at an auction by Rachel Davis Fine Arts. *** Q: A while back I saw on Google that someone found a picture believed to be of Billy the Kid! I have an early photo in which the person looks identical. Billy the Kid is standing between two other men. How can I find out if it’s authentic?

A: Billy the Kid (18591881) was a notorious outlaw who was born in New York and later moved west. He was part of a gang of cattle rustlers in New Mexico and killed several people in Arizona Territory and New Mexico Territory while

evading the law. His crimes were written about in some of the newspapers of the time.

Several movies and TV shows have been made about him. Billy the Kid’s given name was Henry McCarty. He began using the name William H. Bonney in 1877. Supposedly there is only one known photo of Billy the Kid. An authentic photo could sell for several hundred to thousands of dollars or more, especially if the other people in the photo can be identified. The photo needs to be seen by an expert to authenticate it. Contact an auction house that specializes in photographs. *** TIP: To preserve valuable photographs, use UVfiltering glass or an acrylic sheet. *** CURRENT PRICES Advertising poster, “Care of the Teeth,” light green, oval portrait,

Silhouettes became popular as an inexpensive way to create a portrait. Today, antique silhouettes of famous figures sell for high prices.

SALOME’S STARS ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel bolder as each new success falls into place.

However, caution is still advised throughout the end of the week.

Taking it step-by-step is the best approach.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The cooperation that you request could come at too high of a price. Since few can beat the Bovine at being clever and resourceful, why not see what you can do on your own?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Aspects favor a quieter time to get closer to the people who are especially important to you.

There’s always much more to learn and appreciate about each other.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The concerned Crab will act to resolve workplace misunderstandings before they get out of hand and cause serious problems. Co-workers rally to support your efforts.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) What the Big Cat might see as a disturbing act of disloyalty might just be a failure of communication on both sides.

Take time for mediation rather than confrontation.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Be more patient with those who seem unwilling to accept your version of what’s right. The fact is, there’s a lot more to learn on all sides of this issue.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) It should be easier for you to assess the facts and make an important decision. But don’t commit if you still have doubts. There could be more you need to know.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your excitement level remains high as you continue working on a new project. Expect some setbacks, but on the whole, all will move pretty much on schedule.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) It might be

wise to be more prudent with expenses right now. But your financial situation should soon clear up, and you could be back shopping as happily as ever.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might prefer sticking with your current schedule, but some newly emerging information could persuade you to consider a change. Keep an open mind.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might want to reject a suggested change, but it could be wise to go with the flow, at least for a while. You can always return to your first plan if you like.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You’re bolstered by both the practical and poetic sides of your nature as you maneuver some unsettled emotional situations. Things ease up by week’s end.

new series called “Second Wife,” that he’s co-producing with his wife, Meaghan Oppenheimer, for Hulu. It stars Ellis and Emma Roberts (“American Horror Story”) as a couple who spontaneously marry after meeting in London.

The half-hour dramedy doesn’t have a premiere date yet, but it’s expected sometime in 2024.

If you can’t wait to see more of Ellis, you can catch him in the upcoming Netflix film “Players” with Gina Rodriguez (“Jane the Virgin”) this Valentine’s Day. You can also see him in the limited series “Washington Black,” based on the bestselling novel by Esi Edugyan. It co-stars Sterling K. Brown (“This Is Us”) and can be streamed later this year on Hulu.

So, it looks like you won’t be experiencing a dearth of Tom Ellis projects for much longer! *** Q: Why isn’t Maksim Chmerkovskiy on “Dancing with the Stars” anymore? He was my favorite pro on the show. — A.C. A: Maksim “Maks” Chmerkovskiy hasn’t been part of the ABC dance competition show since 2017, but has been sorely missed by his fans.

His wife, Peta Murgatroyd, and his brother, Val, are still pros on “Dancing with the Stars,” but Maks has been busy with other projects. He’ll be a judge on the upcoming season of Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance,” and he’s a celebrity contestant on the current season of “The Traitors” on Peacock.

BY DANA JACKSON Q: When is the movie “Wicked” coming out?

Will it be one of those live musicals on TV like they did with “The Sound of Music”? — H.G. A: “Wicked,” a prequel to the classic 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz,” is a musical, but it won’t air live on television.

It’s a film adaptation of the Tony-Award-winning Broadway musical, which was based on the novel written by Gregory Maguire.

The film adaptation appears to be in good hands with director Jon M. Chu at the helm. He’s also directed the hit film “Crazy Rich Asians” and the well-received musical film “In the Heights.”

Chu recently thanked his cast and crew on social media, stating it was “the most ambitious cinematic production I have ever been a part of, or, frankly, ever witnessed.” *** Q: What can I look forward to seeing Tom Ellis in now that “Lucifer” has ended? Does he have another series lined up?
