county Litchfield: Celebs Rumors

Universal closed out its CinemaCon 2022 with more footage from June 10 summer extravaganza, Jurassic World Dominion  with stars Bryce Dallas Howard and Jeff Goldblum here to send exhibitors off.

Whoopi Goldberg continues to be scrutinized for a reported history of remarks she has made about Jewish people following her suspension from "The View" this week. In 1993, the "Sister Act" star, whose real name is Caryn Johnson, submitted a recipe called "Jewish American Princess Fried Chicken" for a charity cookbook, according to the Daily Mail. The outlet reported Friday that Goldberg’s recipe entry for the "Cooking in The Litchfield Hills" cookbook featured a step-by-step process for creating the dish with off-color anecdotes in jest.  "Send chauffeur to your favorite butcher shop for the chicken (save the brown paper bag)," Goldberg's recipe reportedly says.

offensive comments she made about the Holocaust on “The View” earlier this week.Goldberg (born Caryn Johnson), 66, apparently contributed to a cookbook where she submitted a cringe-worthy recipe for “Jewish-American Princess Fried Chicken,” according to the Daily Mail.The talk show host wrote the recipe in 1993 for the charity cookbook “Cooking in the Litchfield Hills.”The outlet obtained a copy of the book that contained instructions to cook dishes such as Diane Sawyer’s “roasted potato skins with scallion dip” and Eartha Kitt’s “summer zucchini soup with nasturtium blossoms.”According to the book, the page for Goldberg’s dish included some unfortunate humor.“Send chauffeur to your favorite butcher shop for the chicken (save the brown paper bag).”“Have your cook 1) Melt equal parts oil and butter 3/4 deep in skillet over moderate heat. “2) Put flour, seasoned with remaining ingredients, into brown paper bag. 3) Rinse chicken parts and place in bag,” the recipe said.

A retired Connecticut state prosecutor -- who investigated the sexual abuse claims made by Dylan Farrow against her adopted father, filmmaker Woody Allen -- says he believes that Farrow’s allegations hold water, and for years has wondered how she has been holding up.  Frank Maco, who is now retired, made a huge call in 1993 as a Litchfield County state’s attorney to not put a then 7-year-old Farrow on the stand in the proceedings against the Oscar-winning director simply out of fear Farrow would freeze up in court, potentially forcing the judge to dismiss the charges altogether or acquit Allen.
