The Bottom Line: One would think major movie stars like Diane Keaton and Colin Farrell would have enough media training (and common sense) than to drop F-bombs during national TV interviews. 01-16-2008 Keaton & Farrell Drop "F" Bombs Diane Sawyer interviewed Diane Keaton on ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday(1/16), and this time, the "Mad Money" actress made headlines for what she did say. As the interview veered into Keaton complimenting Sawyer for being, "a beautiful woman," she apparently got so comfortable she dropped an f-bomb. Keaton said, "Those lips, I love them. I would like to have lips like that. Then I wouldn't have worked on my f**king personality. Excuse me, my personality. If I had lips like yours, I'd be better off. My life would be better. I would be married. I have these thin lips." Sawyer covered her mouth in shock at Keaton let the curse fly on live television. "My mother is going to work on your personality with soap in your mouth," Sawyer said as Keaton apologized. At the end of the segment, Sawyer ended the interview, jokingly saying, "This is Diane Keaton, who will be answering to the censors." Update: An ABC spokesperson tells TVNewser, "GMA updated the broadcast for all other time zones bleeping out the offending word."
Two days later on CNN today, Kyra Phillips tossed to entertainment correspondent Brooke Anderson for a report from the Sundance Film Festival. Anderson had Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson from the film "In Bruges" for an interview, and for the first minute or so, the interview went smoothly. As the conversation drifted to the decision by writer/director Martin McDonagh to allow the duo to keep their Irish accents, Farrell started laughing and explained the reason why. He mentioned his previous film "Cassandra's Dream, and then said this: "(McDonagh) saw "Cassandra's Dream" and said, 'F**k that, he's Irish.'" Anderson, immediately flustered, said, "Oh my goodness...oh sorry about that. Ah! I hope we caught that in time. We, um, sorry I'm a little bit ruffled now." The interview continued, although Farrell brought the curse back up. As Anderson started to ask, "You said recently...," Farrell cut in and said, "I said the wrong word recently."
