Joan Collins Lists Her Friends
Gwyneth Paltrow? “Is she the one who called her grandmother a rude word on air?” Kiera Knightley? “Well, she’s thin.” Carey Mulligan? “I don’t want to comment on Carey Mulligan. I can’t believe she’s playing Eliza Doolittle in a new movie.” I move on and show her a picture of Kate Winslet taken a few days earlier at the Venice Film Festival. She lets out a huge sigh. “Oh, that’s a dreadful dress. The worst dress. And ghastly shoes and an awful hairstyle. I’m sorry.” She shakes her head. I move away from actresses. Adele? “She’s a very good singer, very, very talented, but she has a terrible hairpiece.” Kate Moss is “OK, but she’s not Linda Evangelista in my mind.” I clutch desperately at straws. There must be one modern-day female she admires. Victoria Beckham? “Oh I love Victoria Beckham. You’ve finally found someone I like.”
