Don Cheadle: Leaving the USA?

August 28th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff

Don Cheadle says he might leave the country if the elections don’t turn how how he’d like.

 

"I mean it depends on this next election whether I’m going to stay in this country," he said at a junket for his new movie Traitor.

 

When asked how serious he was, he says: "I’m pretty serious about being pretty concerned. I wish I could say for sure I knew what was going to happen. But I think we’re in a mess right now and I don’t know why anyone would want to be President right now to begin with. If you are going to take that on, you’ve got a lot of stuff to untangle. To me right now, we’re in bizarre-o land with all of it."

 

In 1990, Cheadle played Will Smith’s friend Ice Tray in a couple episodes of the hit show Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but says he would never do a reunion even if blockbuster actor Will agreed.

 

"A reunion? I don’t think so," he says. Too bad!

What about an Ocean’s 14? Again, Don’s dashing our hopes: "No, there’s no more Ocean’s. It’s a wrap on the Ocean’s trilogy."

 

Don’t leave us, Don!

Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce Do ‘Traitor’

August 27th, 2008

Don Cheadle gets his yuks at the Traitor premiere in NYC. He stars in the spy thriller in theaters now.

When asked if he has any well-wishes for his Ocean’s costar Matt Damon, who recently welcomed daughter Gia with wife Luciana, Don deadpans “They did?! Is it his? I don’t know.”

Alright, well, Guy Pearce, why should we see your movie?

“It’s an intelligent script that looks at a part of the world and a particular culture that has been shoved in the corner and limited in a way,” the Aussie actor tells me. “Hopefully it’s about broadening one’s perspective.”

Danity Kane’s Aubrey O’Day struts through wearing a barely-there white halter, skintight pants and boots. She’s the friendliest – I really like talking to her. She’s always good time. Where did she get her style inspiration for this potential wardrobe-malfunction-to-be?

“I definitely am a very fearless girl,” she tells me. “I think outside of the box, and I love to take risks. I don’t like wearing anything that anybody else would wear, so I would say my personality creates my outfits. I’m always the little white girl, and I wanted to be more urban and fun. I never wear my hair back, and I wanted to wear the gold hoops and be sassy. Today is my vixen outfit.”

Estelle confesses she’d like to spy on her business manager, and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star Jesse Williams tells me he wants to spy on his fiancée before he changes his mind.

“I’d like to spy on somebody in our government – someone in power you don’t have access to in real life aside from through a filtered source,” Jesse says. “Somebody in the new administration – somebody in the Obama administration, probably.” (Wow! Jesse is thinking positively about his presidential pick.)

Traitor is in theaters now.

Aubrey O’Day: “I’m Not Paris Hilton!”

August 25th, 2008

Danity Kane’s Aubrey O’Day may be rising in her own right, but she can’t shake being mistaken for that other young, rich, blonde – Paris Hilton.

 “Whenever I carry my dog around, people say ‘Paris Hilton,’ ” she tells OK! at the Traitor premiere in N.Y.C. on Thursday. “That’s horrible because I absolutely love my dog and I’m nothing like that girl. Like, nobody can have a dog? I think any white girl with blonde hair who carries around a dog is compared to Paris Hilton.”

The "Damaged" singer continues, “I’m not concerned with who people think I am. I’m just concerned that people know who I am.”

While Paris, 27, dates Good Charlotte’s Benji Madden, Aubrey, 24, is single and prefers men like Don Cheadle. “He’s so f—— sexy,” she says. “I love him.”

While Paris has a sex tape,  Aubrey’s pals like to razz her for being solo.

“Someone sent me a male blowup doll one time for my birthday because I was single and not getting any,” she tells OK! “They felt like they would amuse me by sending me some plastic, which did me no good. So it’s still sitting at home. His name is Charles, after my stylist, because he’s got impeccable style.”

Don Cheadle Shows Off His Funny Side

August 22nd, 2008

Don Cheadle plays a spy in Traitor, but the father of two remains coy about whether he’s ever snooped in real life.

“I could tell you, but I’d have to kill you,” he tells OK! at the Traitor premiere in N.Y.C on Thursday.

According to director Jeffrey Nachmanoff, Don’s wit is a pleasant surprise.

“He’s got a very dry sense of humor, but for such a serious actor he can be quite funny,” he tells OK! “Sometimes he’ll play pranks or he’ll pull your leg and you won’t know it," he says. "We were joking around on the set, and he and I would start talking and I would buy into whatever he was saying. Then he’d say ‘Jeffrey, I was just telling that story, I was acting,’ and I thought he was being serious about something. He can deadpan deliver just about any story, and you’ll believe him."

In order to play a former U.S. Special Operations officer in the international spy thriller, the 43-year-old Oscar nominee picked up a new language. 

“I had to learn to speak Arabic for the prayers and observance of the rituals,"  he says.

Hmm, was he joking?
