Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro recall first meeting 

Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro recalled getting introduced to each other for the very first time during the presentation of their first collaboration, the 1973 crime drama Mean Streets, during a De Niro Con presentation at the Tribeca Film Festival.

The two celebrated the movie’s 50th anniversary on Saturday at the Beacon Theatre, with a conversation moderated by legendary rapper Nas.

Scorsese remembered the pair’s first introduction at a Christmas dinner, where they were engaged in a conversation with each other by another to-be-legendary filmmaker, Brian De Palma.

“Bob was sitting there after dinner and then he looked at me and they had gone inside or something,” Scorsese said.

“He said, ‘You used to hang out with so-and-so and so-and-so.’ I said, ‘Yeah, how do you know?’ And he said, ‘I’m Bobby.’ I said, ‘Bobby? Bobby. Oh, my God. We had seen De Palma after doing “Hi, Mom!” After you did that, he said, “You got to meet this guy.”

He added, “Then he had seen ‘Who’s That Knocking,’ and it was very accurate as to the nature of that subculture in the neighborhood. He identified with that, so when ‘Mean Streets’ was finally put together, he came on.”

Elle King on ‘hurting’ Rob Schneider

Elle King opened up on the aftermath of the statements she made about her estranged father Rob Schneider a month ago.

“I never in a million years thought that that was going to go viral,” the 35-year-old country crooner told People on Thursday, in reference to the revelations she made about the actor, about him forgetting her birthdays and sending her back to a fat camp twice as a child.

“I was just speaking about my childhood and about my truth. I was not trying to hurt him.” she added.

In the statements, Elle, born Tanner Elle Schneider, remembered her summers with the 60-year-old comedian after the end of his two-year marriage to her mother London King in 1990, while he stayed always busy on movie sets.

“I was a really, really heavy child. It’s so awful. But like [fat camps were] where he sent me to,” King recounted on the Dumb Blonde podcast on August 12. “I went two summers in a row. I was 11 and 12.”

“I don’t want to be associated with him. He’s just not nice,” she said at the time.

Guns N’ Roses ex drummer, Steven Adler on drug abuse

Guns N’ Roses ex drummer, Steven Adler, who played for the band in the late 80’s, contributing to their ladder to fame, and later being fired for drug addiction, revealed why he did heroin in the first place.

“Who the hell do you think I was doing them with? When I started doing heroin, I wanted to be a part of what [G N’ R lead guitarist] Slash and [rhythm guitarist] Izzy [Stradlin] were doing,” he revealed in the third episode of Paramount+‘s new three-part docuseries Nöthin’ But a Good Time: The Uncensored Story of ’80s Hair Metal.

“I took two hits, I was never so sick in my whole life,” he said.

“And wouldn’t you know what an a—— I am, I had to try it one more time,” Adler continued. “And the third time was the charm. I fell in love with it.”

However, Adler’s addiction got him fired from the band, but this didn’t change anything for the musician.

“I’ve always loved the whole team thing,” he said. “That’s why putting a band together was so important to me, where we work together and create something.”

“And then when my team threw me out, I didn’t know what to do. I know I could either have gotten better, or continued doing what I was doing. I continued doing what I was doing. I was that hurt.”
