‘Iron Man’ star Terrance Howard mocked over unrecognizable new look: ‘His Farrah Fawcett era’
Hustle & Flow, Crash and The Butler, recently appeared on the online talk show Straighttalkphanee to explain why he’s suing giant Hollywood talent agency CAA (Creative Artists Agency).He says he was paid $325,000 per episode per episode for his popular TV show Empire, while The Big Bang Theory cast was paid $2 to 3 million per episode, despite Empire having more viewers.What goes unremarked upon in the interview – but what immediately caught most viewers’ eye – is Howard’s new hair: A red bob, complete with Charlie’s Angels-esque Farrah Fawcett flick.“Imma try to watch the video and give him a chance before commenting on the hair but it’s hard,” one person commented under the video.“Bro got the Farah Fawcett look and wants to be taken seriously,” wrote another person – a common comparison.“I’m sorry, I know he’s talking about a serious topic but I can’t get past the fact that Terrence Howard is in his Farrah Fawcett era,” wrote another commenter.“Are we supposed sit here and ignore Terrence’s wig?” asked another, while one follower said his new look made him resemble “a pimp from the 70s.”Howard has made frequent complaints about his pay as an actor in the past.In 2008, it was announced he would not be reprising his role as Robert Downey Jr’s sidekick in an Iron Man sequel. He said he was sacked over his refusal to take a major pay cut – claim which Marvel Studios publicly disputed at the time.

Anna Paquin on her ‘A Bit of Light’ indie film character: ‘A level of rock-bottom she didn’t know existed yet’
“A Bit of Light.”Moyer, 54, directs Paquin, 41, in the indie movie, written by Rachel Callard and based on her eponymous stage play.It’s the second time that Moyer has directed Paquin in a big-screen movie following “The Parting Glass” (2018).He also directed her in episodes of “True Blood” when they co-starred on the HBO series as vampire Bill Compton and telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse from 2008-2014.“A Bit of Light” follows the journey of Ella (Paquin), an alcoholic mother living with her father (Ray Winstone) and dealing with self-loathing after losing her two daughters over her drinking — and the 13-year-old boy, Neil (Luca Hogan), who helps her see the “light” toward a better future.“Ella is at this excruciatingly mundane place after what she thinks is rock-bottom and realizes that the everday-ness of living with her choices and decisions is actually a level of rock-bottom she didn’t know existed yet,” Paquin told The Post.“Throughout the film we see her slightly coming out of her shell little by little … but she does a lot of things within her power to sabotage her own happiness.”Ella strikes up an unlikely friendship with the wise-beyond-his-years Neil, who she meets in the park where she used to take her daughters — and where she frequently goes to brood over her plight.Neil is an odd duck who speaks on an adult level (he addresses Ella’s father, Alan, by his first name) and appears to be friendless. He talks about his parents and older brother (who we never meet) but he always has time to materialize in Ella’s life (and the lives of other characters) at crucial junctures.“This strange, fabulous Neil is on a mission to help her put herself back together and get her life back on track,” Paquin said.
