WEIRD AL PARTY POST
<s>Shrek was an enjoyable character to spend the evening with at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival opening night, but for the tenth anniversary of TFF, organizers were thinking a bit grander. To kick off the 11-day event, Elton John showed up to premiere the Cameron Crowe-directed documentary “The Union,” which chronicles the album-recording process between John and legendary artist Leon Russell.
Crowe couldn’t be at the screening, so Jane Rosenthal, producer and co-founder of the Festival, Martin Scorsese and Denis Leary all gave introductions. After the film, John himself appeared to play a set for the shivering attendees, many of whom had arrived at 5 p.m. to score their seats next to the Hudson River. Beginning with the perennial favorite “Tiny Dancer,” John then performed “Rocket Man” and two songs from his album with Russell.
While wandering around World Financial Center, Speakeasy caught a glimpse of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who flashed their first smiles since possibly 2004, and also Paul Dano, whom we instructed to play David Foster Wallace in the inevitable biopic (if Dano gains 30 pounds, they’d have one face. We swear). We also discussed rising food prices with an earnest Bob Balaban (“I sound so depressing, I’m sorry,” he told us).
Before the night ended, we spied the opportunity to fulfill or crush the dreams of 20-somethings around the world. We cornered Rider Strong, who’s premiering a short film, and asked him about the possibility of a “Boy Meets World” reunion. “I don’t think it will happen,” he said. “Will Friedle’s out and it’s time for me to grow up. I don’t want to be known as Shawn Hunter for the rest of my life.” Fair point, though perhaps a disappointing one for those who lived for TGIF.
SourceOne of my favorite things to ever happen on The Vampire Diaries was when Caroline turned into a vampire. Caroline was always interesting to me — this quirky, controlling do-gooder who seemed to have it all: the guy, the popularity and the best friends. Then her whole world flipped upside down. This huge game-changer turned (no pun intended) Caroline into one of my favorite characters in all of primetime television. I recently had the chance to chat with Candice Accola (who plays Caroline) about the new developments with Matt and her mom, Tyler’s return, and the big finale.

Recent tweets from her include, "#beastmode. at the gym with @ryder___!!! Raaaa" and "Water is my new best friend. #dieting." At last, a reality star who is here to make friends. That water is likely to be more loyal than just about anyone she'll meet in front of the cameras.
