The "<keyword id="12173646" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="bruised" source="Orion">Bruised</keyword>" director appeared in a video interview for<a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/video/watch/careert-timeline-halle-berry-breaks-down-her-career-from-x-men-to-bruised" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Vanity Fair</a> to reminisce about her lengthy Hollywood career and some of her most famous roles. At one point, Berry touched on the 2004 DC <keyword id="11904996" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="film" source="Orion">film</keyword> "Catwoman," which was panned by critics and currently holds a 9% on <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/catwoman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rotten Tomatoes. </a>The film scored several Golden Raspberry Awards— or Razzies — at the 2005 event, including "Worst Picture," with Berry winning "Worst Actress," <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/1497569/halle-berry-slams-catwoman-at-razzie-awards/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MTV </a>reported. Razzies highlight the worst cinematic projects each year. Berry made headlines when she <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-7s_yeQuDg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held her Razzie in one hand</a>, and her Oscar for her 2002 performance in "Monster's Ball" in the other, during her acceptance speech."I went to the Razzie because I feel like we all take ourselves so seriously," Berry, 55, told Vanity Fair. "If we get an award, if we get the Oscar, we somehow are made to feel like we're somehow better than everybody else, but we're really not. You were just chosen that year by your peers, and you were acknowledged for doing what they considered stellar work." Berry then questioned whether winning an Oscar makes an actor better than their cohorts before deciding "not at all." "If you find yourself face to face with a Razzie, does that mean you're the worst actor there ever was? Probably not. You just got the piss taken out on you that year by a group of people that can," Berry said. <div type="image" title="halle berry oscars 2002" height="1417" width="1890" msid="88111742" hostid="261"></div>Berry added that if she can show up to the Academy Awards, then she can make an appearance at the <keyword id="12676121" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="golden-raspberry-awards" source="Orion">Golden Raspberry Awards</keyword> as well."I always learned that if you can't be a good loser, then you don't deserve to be a good winner," she said. Then, Berry revealed that she made sure to leave the Razzie in the past. "So I went there and made fun of myself. I had a great time, and then I set that thing on fire," Berry said. "That's what I did!"Representatives for Halle Berry did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. Although "Catwoman" may not be Berry's favorite work, she's shown great enthusiasm for her directorial debut, <a href="https://www.insider.com/halle-berry-interview-netflix-bruised-mma-fighter-2021-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Bruised,"</a> which was released on Netflix in November 2021. The actress, who also played the film's main character, said she <a href="https://www.insider.com/halle-berry-broke-2-ribs-in-bruised-2021-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">broke two ribs during filming. </a>She later said she <a href="https://www.insider.com/halle-berry-bruised-will-not-direct-star-in-same-movie-again-2021-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wouldn't direct and act in the same film ever again.</a>

Her character, Tutar, is a news reporter who lands an interview with Giuliani, an attorney for then-President Donald Trump. The former mayor of New York reportedly <a href="https://www.insider.com/rudy-giuliani-cameo-in-borat-2-involes-seeming-inappropriate-encounter-2020-10">did not know she was an actress or that the interview was for a Borat film</a>, and the stunt became one of the most talked-about aspects of the movie.

They're up against "Robert Downey Jr. &amp; His Utterly Unconvincing 'Welsh' Accent" in "Doolittle," as well as "Adam Sandler &amp; His Grating Simpleton Voice" in "Hubie Halloween." Sacha Baron Cohen, the creator of Borat, who duped Giuliani into the interview, was also honored for the Borat sequel recently when his film won best musical or comedy motion picture at last month's Golden Globes.In his acceptance speech, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sacha-baron-cohen-mocks-rudy-giuliani-golden-globes-speech-2021-3">Baron Cohen praised Giuliani</a> as "a fresh new talent who came from nowhere, and turned out to be a comedy genius."

"Olivia has been a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer." "Her healing inspiration and pioneering experience with plant medicine continues with the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, dedicated to researching plant medicine and cancer," the Instagram post written by her husband said. He asked for donations to the foundation in lieu of flowers. Born in Cambridge, UK, Newton-John moved to Australia with her family when she was 6 years old. She began performing there and appeared on Australian TV shows including "The Happy Show" and "The Go!! Show" in the 1960s.She and her friend Pat Carroll <a href="https://www.interviewmagazine.com/film/olivia-newton-john" target="_blank" rel="noopener">formed a musical duo in their teens</a> and used to perform together, even touring nightclubs in England. Carroll's husband, John Farrar, was Newton-John's longtime music producer. <div type="image" title="olivia newton john 1975" height="1875" width="2500" msid="93439744" hostid="261"></div>Since making her first album in 1971, Newton-John released a total of 26 studio albums over her career. Her singles "If You Love Me, Let Me Know," from 1974, and 1975's "Have You Never Been Mellow" would hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts in the US. She had five No. 1 hits, including "Physical," which was a chart-topping smash and has been covered by other artists like Kylie Minogue and Dua Lipa.Newton-John won four Grammy Awards, including record of the year in 1974. She also competed at the 1974 Eurovision contest with the track "Long Live Love."<h2>Newton-John became internationally famous for her film roles in the 1970s and '80s</h2><div type="image" title="olivia newton john and john travolta grease premiere" height="1954" width="2605" msid="93439745" hostid="261"></div>Newton-John's fame catapulted to new heights when she starred as Sandy in the 1978 movie "Grease." Not only was the film a massive hit, but "You're the One That I Want," her duet with John Travolta for the soundrack, reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts. She earned a Golden Globe nomination and sang the Oscar-nominated <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULxA-V_R2Vo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Hopelessly Devoted to You," another song from the film, at the Acadamy Awards</a>. In 1980, she starred in "Xanadu." The film was critically derided and is still regarded as one of the worst-reviewed movies of all time, even serving as partial inspiration for the so-called Golden Raspberry Awards or the "Razzies" that honor the "worst" films of the year. Despite the negative ratings from critics, the soundtrack — including the song "Magic" by Newton-John — <a href="https://rockandrollglobe.com/soundtracks-and-film-scores/we-are-magic-xanadu-at-40/">went double platinum</a>.She followed those roles with movies like "Two of a Kind," again with Travolta, in 1983, and later, the 2000 series "Sordid Lives," but none were as successful as her earlier work.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Here are 13 <keyword id="664134" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="food-markets">food markets</keyword> and fairs that has the best eats in the world.</li><li>Our picks include the State Fair of Texas and the London Brunch Fest.</li></ul>From warm buckets of cookies in Minnesota to cheesecake on a stick in Florida, here are 13 food markets and fairs that you have to visit in your lifetime.1. State Fair of Texas, Dallas The State Fair of Texas is home to the original corn dog, the beloved meat on a stick that Americans can't get enough of. Fletcher's Corny Dogs debuted the very first corn dog in 1938. Back then, they were giving away their corny dogs for free, just to get people to try the unheard of food. Now, Fletcher's is selling between 500,000 and 600,000 dogs a year. There are more food vendors here than almost any other fair, so you can expect that all the classics will be covered, like old-school saltwater taffy at Sutter's Taffy, funnel cakes that even double as burger buns, and fried everything.2. Arizona State Fair, PhoenixThe Arizona State Fair is the state's largest public event, and it's been dishing out classic fair foods since 1905. While some of the options may sound familiar, the sheer size of these foods is shocking. Fair foodies will be familiar with a good old fashioned corn dog, but in Arizona they make them by the foot. And the cinnamon buns aren't shy on size either. Or toppings. Aside from its giant food options, it's the hot and spicy foods that really make the Arizona State Fair stand out. Hot cheeto covered foods like turkey legs and even pickles are an Arizona delicacy. And all of them are layered with nacho cheese, of course.3. LA County Fair, Los AngelesPeople have been flocking to the LA County Fair since 1922. In recent years they've featured 500 food vendors during a single fair. They've got classics like giant turkey legs, rainbow popcorn, and fried oreos, but also some things you'd have a hard time finding anywhere else.Fans of the fair love to post about these giant cones of extra long curly fries from Biggy's. They start by spiralizing a lot of potatoes, then deep fry them so they're golden and crunchy. For another Instagrammable food, you can walk over to Nitro Treats to try their Unicorn's Breath. It's cereal balls, dipped in liquid nitrogen, which make smoke come out of your mouth and nose when you take a bite.
