By Anne in May 19, 2013 • Filed in: events, movies

Third and last post for today! The people organizing the annual Taormina Film Festival in Sicily, Italy, announced at the Film Festival in Cannes that Meg is one of the celebrities scheduled to make an appearance this year. The film fest runs from June 15th-June 22nd and one of the main focusses this year is comedy. This quote is in Italian, but i’m sure you’ll be able to understand it:

Meg Ryan, Amy Adams e Renata Livtinova saranno ospiti della 59/a edizione del TaorminaFilmFest, guidato da Mario Sesti, direttore editoriale e dalla general manager Tiziana Rocca, annunciate oggi in un incontro durante il festival di Cannes. Il TaorminaFilmFest aprirà il 15 giugno al Teatro Greco con l’anteprima di uno dei film più attesi della stagione, L’uomo d’acciaio (Man of Steel) di Zach Snyder, che uscirà nelle sale italiane il 20 giugno distribuito dalla Warner Bros. Insieme al regista saranno presenti a Taormina Amy Adams, tre volte candidata agli Oscar, che nel film interpreta la giornalista Lois Lane, e Henry Cavill, il nuovo volto di Superman/Clark Kent.

(…) Accanto alla bellezza russa, quella d’oltreoceano con una delle star più amate del cinema hollywoodiano, Meg Ryan che quest’anno a Taormina sarà protagonista di una Tao Class e riceverà il Taormina Arte Award. “Avere Meg Ryan per la prima volta al Taormina Film Fest – sottolineano Mario Sesti e Tiziana Rocca -, incontrare e premiare una delle attrici più vitali, romantiche e divertenti del cinema americano contemporaneo, straordinaria perfezionista della commedia, è per noi un grande onore e siamo sicuri che lo sarà anche per il nostro pubblico”.

The Gossip Zone…..update

By Anne in June 4, 2011 • Filed in: candids, events, gallery, john mellencamp

Even though Meg’s rep already denied the false wedding-rumors story twice, most news sources as usual simply took over the 100% fabricated story printed in the National Enquirer without checking any facts. In addition to Meg’s denial, John then also had his rep deny the false rumors. From Indiana’s Herald Times newspaper:

(…)’Elsner said Mellencamp was annoyed by the report because it was so “out there.” Some accounts on the Internet included reported reactions from family members and similar fiction.

“Basically it’s just another celebrity rumor and there’s no truth to it. They’re together, they’re in a relationship but they’re not talking about marriage. They’re happy where they are.” Elsner said’

Meanwhile, back in the ‘real’ world Meg accompanied John to ‘A celebration of life in memory of Bill Cook’ at Indiana University on Wednesday evening (thanks for the info, M!). And yesterday Meg was seen arriving at LAX airport.
