gambling capital of the US!
This is a highly entertaining
behind-the-scenes look at
the goings-on in the city that
taste forgot. From a pool party
where old men perv on topless
waitresses, to a millionaire
gambling thousands on the
roulette tables, nothing here
is knowingly understated.5

Mark Wahlberg hosts this

LEMON
AND PADDY
McGUINNESS
ON...... their upcoming joint
project, Keith & Paddy’s
MovieFest Live
KEITH It’s an outdoor
cinematic experience-
come-Dirty Dancing
extravaganza. It was my
mum’s idea – she said,
‘Why don’t you show Dirty
Dancing outdoors, get
Paddy along and have
a massive party?’ I said,
‘Let’s do Knebworth,’
and Paddy said, ‘Let’s do
Tatton Park, as it’s near
my house.’ So we’re doing
both! We’ve got inflatable
watermelons, live backing
dancers, special guests –
it’s going to be awesome.... the perennial appeal
of Dirty Dancing
PADDY It’s packed with
fantastic music, and it’s
just a great movie. People
may say it’s a chick flick,
but we like it, and we’re
men! I think a lot of blokes
secretly end up loving it.... doing ‘The Lift’
PADDY We know we can
do it – we did a half-hour
version of it for The Keith
& Paddy Picture Show.
I’m Patrick Swayze and
Keith is Baby.... their ‘special’
relationship
PADDY We’ve actually
NEVER had an argument- not a single cross word!
But if we ever did have a
fight, obviously I’d win.
● MOVIE FEST LIVE,
Knebworth, 16-17 August,
and Tatton Park, 30-31
August, moviefestlive.comPoor Diane Keaton was at
pains to clarify in a recent
interview that she hasn’t
been on a date in... decades!
The actress, 73, said, ‘Never.
All right? I haven’t been
on a date in, I would
say, 35 years. No dates.
I have a lot of male
friends, but no dates.
No mwah-mwah.’
THEY SAID WHAT?!
