Paul Giamatti says Cher keeps calling him and he doesn’t know why
Paul Giamatti has said that Cher keeps calling him – and he has no idea why.Appearing on The Howard Stern show this week, Giamatti revealed that Cher had reportedly spent years trying to contact him.“Every now and then, I get a message from somebody that says Cher…really needs to talk to me, like it’s important, like it’s crucial that she talks to me,” Giamatti told Stern.“And I’m like, ‘What the fuck?! Why does Cher want to talk to me?’ Nobody will tell me!”He continued: “And then I never hear anything…and a year will go by, and it happens again.”Giamatti went on to say that Cher managed to reach him eventually via voicemail.He continued: “Eventually somebody…did get in touch with her, and she did call me and leave a message on my phone…all she said was, ‘I hear you want to talk to me.’ That was it. That was all she said.”He went on to say the back and forth continued for some time and he eventually returned Cher’s message with one of his own: “I left her a message and said, ‘That’s great, I’d love to talk to you, but I thought you wanted to talk to me.’ And that’s the last I heard.““I haven’t heard anything again,” he added, before saying he was baffled as to why Cher was trying to reach him in the first place.“I don’t know what she could possibly want to talk to me about,” he explained to Stern.

‘Oppenheimer’ wins big at the Critics Choice Awards – but Cillian Murphy misses out
Oppenheimer has won big at this year’s Critics Choice Awards, but actor Cillian Murphy missed out on receiving the award for Best Actor in one of the main upsets of the night.Christopher Nolan’s epic film about the father of the atomic bomb took home eight awards in total. Nolan earned the award for Best Director and Best Picture, while the film also saw Robert Downey Jr win the award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Lewis Strauss, the former head of the US Atomic Energy Commission.Murphy lost out at the awards however to Paul Giamatti, who won Best Actor for his turn in The Holdovers. Collecting his award for best director, Nolan said: “To mangle a quote from Sir Isaac Newton, ‘If I appear tall it’s because I stand on the shoulders of giants’ – the particular giants I am standing on is Kai (Bird) and Marty (Sherwin) who wrote the incredible book American Prometheus and spent 25 years doing it.“I thank you Kai for trusting me with your work and Marty, unfortunately he left us before I was able to show him the final script, but Kai your constant reassurances once you saw the film that he would have approved meant the world to me.”Downey Jr meanwhile used his acceptance speech for Best Supported Actor to take joking aim at the critics who have reviewed him negatively in the past.He said: “I was thinking this morning, I just love critics… you know, they’ve given me such beautiful feedback, really just so many great moments, and some of it is so poetic.
