MONTREAL - Well, the big New York cronut fad is three weeks old now, and I still haven?t heard of a single version anywhere in Canada. Really, what?s wrong with this country?
The cronut, invention of Big Apple baker Dominique Ansel, is croissant dough in a doughnut shape, deep-fried, injected with vanilla cream, iced, rolled in sugar, and garnished with crystallized rose petals.
It has many flaky layers, many calories, and a short shelf life. Produced in small batches, it sells out daily.
This being N.Y., there?s already a black (resale) market; it?s only a matter of time until there are fist fights, not to mention gunplay. Also I imagine there?s already a race between copycats, on one hand, and a ban by Mayor Mike Bloomberg, on the other.
Daniel Radcliffe wants babies ?before my 30s,? he told Time Out: London. ?I like the idea of being a youngish parent so I?ve got energy.? And he?s ?definitely going to be one of those parents who pushes their kids? to play sports.
Parenthood, he said, has given various friends ?a sense of purpose that up
till now I only really get from work. I want that.?
Nobody knows whom he?s dating. He?s 23.
This must sting: Naomi Campbell broke up with Russian real-estate tycoon Vladislav Doronin in April. Now he and Luo Zilin, a model Campbell mentored on her TV program The Face, have been photographed smooching on holiday in Spain, says the Daily Mail.
Meanwhile Luo has been dropped by N.Y.-based MIX Model Management, for ?ongoing unprofessional conduct?? ? no details offered.
Luo denies fooling around with Doronin, despite the photos: ??No, I?m not dating Vlad,? she tweeted. ?No, I?m not his ?side chick,? no, didn?t (bad word). No, I?m not an escort, nor have I ever been.?
Vlad?s 50. Naomi?s 42. Luo is 25.
Remember Brad Pitt?s 1997 movie Seven Years in Tibet? Well, the Chinese government apparently does: censors there have still not approved Brad?s new zombie picture World War Z, reports thewrap.com.
Without the Chinese market, the $200 million flick can hardly get into the black. It opens everywhere else this month; if China delays it, pirated versions will wreck the eventual box-office haul there.
Seven Years in Tibet made the Dalai Lama look good and the Chinese Army bad; Beijing complained ? and remembered.
Paramount made some pre-emptive cuts to World War Z, to ease access to China; originally the zombie epidemic started there. But still, no approval.
As thewrap.com notes, Chinese officials don?t like zombies, anyway: depictions of magic, horror, and the like are discouraged.
Pia Zadora is back in the news, but not in a good way.
Pia was a fixture in this space in the mid-?80s: a ?sex kitten? type whose rich husband, Israeli businessman Rik Riklis, kept trying ? and failing ? to buy her showbiz stardom.
She got into the police news Saturday in Las Vegas, where she lives with current hubby Mike Jeffries, a police detective. She was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery; that?s all we know so far.
She?s 61.
