  • Julia Roberts Will Celebrate ‘Pretty Woman’ 25th Anniversary on ‘Today Show’

    Julia Roberts will join Richard Gere and other stars of the 1990 film Pretty Woman to celebrate its 25th anniversary on the Today Show this coming Tuesday, March 24th. Costars Laura San Giacomo and Hector Elizondo, as well as director Garry Marshall will also join in the celebration.

    The release of Pretty Woman set Julia Roberts and her acting career soaring straight to bona fide stardom. Roberts earned her second Oscar nomination and her first Oscar for her role as hooker Vivian Ward. Vivian is hired in Pretty Woman to serve as an escort for Edward Lewis, a wealthy businessman played by Richard Gere. Ward and Lewis eventually fall in love, but not until a transformation akin to a modern day version of the one that takes place in My Fair Lady transpires.

    The celebration that airs on Today this Tuesday will feature a reunion of sorts. Jason Alexander, who played the rather sleazy Philip Stuckey, and who later became famous for his role on Seinfeld, is noticeably absent, however. When the gang gets together for their interview with Matt Lauer, lots of fun and laughter is in store for everyone–both on the set and for those watching at home, too.

    Julia Roberts and the rest of the cast, along with Garry Marshall, will reportedly share their favorite moments from Pretty Woman.

    Julia Roberts was just 22 when she starred in Pretty Woman, and the only big credits under her acting belt at that time were Mystic Pizza and Steel Magnolias.

    Will you be tuning in to the Today Show on NBC on Tuesday morning to see Matt Lauer interview Julia Roberts, Richard Gere and more as they celebrate the 25th anniversary of Pretty Woman?

    Daryl Hannah and Neil Young: Dating?

    Daryl Hannah is rumored to be dating newly-single rocker Neil Young. Could there be any truth behind the rumor? The Daily Mail recently posted shots of the two dining in southern California. The actress was spotted kissing Young’s cheek in one of the shots.

    Us Weekly says the two are definitely an item. Daryl Hannah’s admiration of Neil Young apparently began as a fan.

    “She’s a huge Neil fan,” a source told them of the Kill Bill star. “They’ve known each other for years.”

    People reports that the two have been dating ‘for months.’

    “They’ve been dating for months,” a source told them. “They’ve taken no effort to even hide it. He recorded a new album a few weeks ago, and she was on Skype the entire time, giving him feedback on every take. He even told people in the studio she was his ‘girlfriend.’ ”

    Neil Young just filed for divorce from his wife–Pegi Young–on July 29th. The two have been married for 36 years. Might his new relationship with Daryl Hannah have anything to do with the split? Pegi Young was said to be the inspiration behind several of Neil Young’s hit songs, including “Such a Woman,” “Once an Angel,” and “Unknown Legend.”

    Daryl Hannah was once linked to the late John F. Kennedy, Jr., and is no novice when it comes to dating rock stars either. She was involved in a relationship with Jackson Browne from 1983 to 1992.

    Neil Young founded the band Buffalo Springfield back in 1966, and in 1969 became known for his role in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his music with Buffalo Springfield and as a solo artist as well.

    In addition to Kill Bill, Daryl Hannah is known for roles in films like Splash, Wall Street, and Steel Magnolias.

    So what’s your take on the relationship between Daryl Hannah and Neil Young? Is it a rumor? Are the two simply involved in a purely platonic friendship? Or is this the beginning of a romance between a 1960s rocker and an actress with a most eclectic style?
