Rock Hudson had ‘traumatic experience’ kissing Linda Evans on ‘Dynasty’

AIDS diagnosis — himself included.The Hollywood heartthrob had made a guest appearance on the hit soap opera “Dynasty” in 1984, just months after he first found out he’d tested positive for HIV, the virus which causes AIDS.According to Stephen Kijak, director of the new documentary “Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed,” Hudson was “terrified” of kissing co-star Linda Evans, as he was scared he would give her a “lethal injection” of his illness. The “Giant” star had concealed his disease from the public and even had used a medley of oral hygiene products like mouthwash in an attempt to protect Evans, 80.“Nobody knew,” Kijak told Fox News recently.

Beyoncé teases ‘the Renaissance is not over’ in new concert film trailer

Beyoncé — dropped a new trailer for her much-hyped concert film “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.” “To close my eyes and travel through realms of space and time, reality holds no power or control of my state of mind on my voyage to find a source to charge my inner being,” she intones over a moody montage of scenes from her epic 2023 tour at the beginning of the film’s third trailer.“Welcome to the Renaissance,” a choir of Beyoncé’s sings, as if you didn’t already know that said tour was the subject of this concert film.The film is set to be released on December 1, World AIDS Day, in honor of Beyoncé’s late Uncle Jonny — her inspiration for “Renaissance,” who died from AIDS-related complications early in her career.Then, some stadium stage-slaying and private family feels find Beyoncé reflecting on just how fierce she has run the world — as well as the household.“In this world that is very male-dominated, I’ve had to be really tough to balance motherhood and being on the stage … It just reminds me of who I really am.”Finally, after a nod to the “Renaissance” visuals that the fans have been clamoring for since the album dropped in July 2022 — “You are the visuals, baby,” she teases — Beyoncé makes it clear that the revolution has just begun, y’all.“It’s a new birth.

Elizabeth Taylor’s secret visit to see Rock Hudson on his deathbed

Elizabeth Taylor just wanted to see her friend Rock Hudson one last time before he died. According to Hudson’s doctor, Michael Gottlieb, the “Cleopatra” actress was able to sneak into the hospital where the ailing actor was staying before he passed away from AIDS-related complications in October 1985 at the age of 59.Gottlieb revealed how Taylor got in to see the “Pillow Talk” star on his deathbed — with the doctor’s sneaky assistance — in an interview with Closer Weekly, according to the Daily Mail.“I picked Elizabeth up in my old station wagon and we managed to get in through a loading dock at the back of the hospital to see him,” the doctor recalled.“Rock understood the implications of having AIDS in those early days,” he added about the era that “demonized” those with the disease.

Three Months review: Troye Sivan fails to rise to the material in HIV drama

Jump, Darling, starring a fabulous Cloris Leachman in one of her final film roles, to the sexy-cute 2018 Dutch rom-com Just Friends, and now Jared Frieder’s so-so new dramedy Three Months (★★☆☆☆).Besides exploring and/or exploiting that cross-generational conduit of support and affection, Three Months, like Darling, offers a seemingly juicy role to an Oscar-winning screen legend. In this case, Ellen Burstyn lends a touch of gravitas portraying loving grandma Valerie to gay south Florida high schooler Caleb, played with deadpan snark and sometimes seething anger by pop star Troye Sivan.Caleb’s open and honest relationship with Val is just one of the pillars of support he leans on during the crisis hinted at in the film’s title.
