Entertainment headlines in two minutes or less. You're tuned in to entertainment and celebrity news today. Hollywood costume designer Jean-Pierre d'Orléac, now 82 years old, is stirring things up again with fresh claims about star behavior. After his last interview sparked outrage for harsh words about Audrey Hepburn, he's named more difficult actors in a new chat while also praising the good ones. He accuses the late Patrick McNeigh, star of the Avengers, of trying to assault him during a 1978 fitting for Battlestar Galactica. D'Orléac says McNeigh got too forward, then got angry when rejected, and someone shredded the white gold costume, costing the studio $6,000 to remake. Universal never hired McNeigh back. Kirstie Alley comes in for criticism too, described as rude, late, and destructive from their work on masquerade. She ruined a $350 pink Angora sweater with chocolate and struggled with weight and sweat from drinking. Shannon Doherty allegedly sabotaged a 1994 TV movie by switching contact lens colors daily to mess up continuity.

Lana Turner gets called an indecisive heavy drinker who relied on vodka disguised as cranberry juice. Meanwhile, Doherléac had issues with her on set. On a brighter note, he raves about Diane Keaton as charming and generous, Henry Fonda as a true gentleman and Patricia Neal as gracious, turning into a lifelong friend. His memoir, The Naked Truth, lays it all out. The daily news now is made possible with support from our sponsor. You know what is better than earbuds and bed? No earbuds at all.
