Ron Howard, Beyonce, Jay-Z
When Ron Howard blew into Toronto for TIFF recently he held a Q&A session after the screening of his Jay-Z documentary Made In America.
Sarah was there for the event and wrote a story about it.
One of the things Howard said: “I was watching Jay-Z and I thought of Frank Sinatra. Which doesn’t really make sense. But good is good.”

12-12-12 Concert Benefiting The Robin Hood Relief Fund To Aid The Victims Of Hurricane Sandy
The Risky Fuel household experienced an electric jolt of concern recently after finding out that Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein didn’t appreciate an uncomfortably valid characterization Sarah made about Kristen Stewart in an article she wrote about the aftermath of the 12.12.12 documentary gala screening at TIFF 2013.
During a post-screening Q&A Weinstein talked about how, for $500,000, they had arranged for the Twilight actress to meet ‘n’ greet with an Arabian prince while at the charity concert to aid victims of Hurricane Sandy. And, there’s more… but you’ll have to ask her about it in person.
Let’s just say we had the conversation “What if I get blacklisted?” Our conclusion: you can’t blacklist people who don’t actually have much of anything to be blacklisted from, so here’s to being poor, powerless, insignificant and… free.
Weinstein was also mighty unhappy the concert’s organizing posse couldn’t force Led Zeppelin to reunite.
