birthday buzzSteve Buscemi, whoturns 56 on Dec. 13,has received Emmynods for three series:The Sopranos, 30Rock and Board-walk Empire.

Holliday Grainger knows how toplay bad girls. “The last fewyears have been my BonnieParker practice,” the Britishactress, 25, says of her work onThe Borgias and Great Expecta-tions.

Next, she takes on the mini-series Bonnie & Clyde, whichwill air simultaneously on Life-time, A&E and History on Sun-day and Monday.

“Bonnie seemed like thistimid mommy’s girl, but withintwo years, she turned into some-one whose philosophy was to livefast and die hard.”

Grainger is not so bad in theupcoming live version of Cinder-ella, playing evil stepsister Ana-stasia. She “isn’t really evil. Sheis plagued by jealousy and ri-valry. She is quite emotionallystunted and intensely selfish.”

vipvIalways wanted to do a character that

was Auntie Mame-ish or All AboutEve-ish,” Kirstie Alley says about

her role as a Broadway diva in hernew TV Land series Kirstie. On theshow, Alley reunites with herformer Cheers pal Rhea Perl-man, who plays her assistant-slash-best friend. “Since wedid Cheers, we were alwaysmaking up a series,” says Alley, 62.“Our show was going to be calledTwo Girls, but so many years passed, itwould have to be called Two Broads.”

And is Alley, who was on two seasonsof Dancing with the Stars, still dancing?“I’m not the ballroom queen, but I love allthe Latin dances. Any time I feel myselfchubbing out a little bit, I just start danc-ing harder and eating more organic.”

She’s goodat being bad

I don’t know whether they appreciate it, or kindof roll their eyes,” Nick Lachey says about

giving advice to the a cappella contestants onNBC’s The Sing-Off, returning for a fourth sea-son Monday. If they’re smart, they’ll listen to theshow’s host, who reunited with his ’90s boy band98 Degrees for a successful tour this summer.After a 12-year hiatus, “it was a different experi-ence,” the 40-year-old says. “But in a lot of ways,it was more rewarding to share that with family.”

(Wife Vanessa Minnillo and son Camden, 1, accom-panied Lachey for the first half of the tour.) “Thepartying definitely didn’t happen. First thing in the

morning, (Camden) is up, no matter what.”

“The last few yearshave been myBonnie Parkerpractice”

Do you wing it when asking fora raise or discussing the family

budget? Don’t. Planning pays off.“Almost everything you do in life isa negotiation,” says Ronald Shapiro,co-founder of the Shapiro NegotiationsInstitute and author of PerfectingYour Pitch: How to Succeed in Businessand in Life By Finding Words That Work.His three Ds:

Here’s a tip from amomwith a warm heart.

“On those frostywinter mornings, mylittle ones do not wantto crawl out of theirwarm covers and getready for school,” writesTami Hankey of EatonRapids, Mich.

“To speed up things(and put a smile ontheir faces), I take theirschool outfits for thatday and heat them upin the clothes dryerwhile I’m packinglunches. As soon as Itoss those toastyclothes on their beds,they cannot wait tojump up and put themon. Makes for a muchhappier morning.”

Get ’em whilethey’re hot

fyiIt goes without saying that your

best shot at saving megabucksis after Christmas. Stores don’t

want to be stuck with inventoryafter New Year’s, so they offerdeals. When it comes to holidayitems (wrapping paper, tree deco-rations and lights), you may find upto 70% off pre-Christmas prices.But you can also score surprisingbargains on everything from toys totechnology:

For the kids. This is your chanceto buy your children’s birthday pre-sents on the cheap. Any toy tied to amovie or TV show will quickly go

out of vogue, sostores are eagerto strike whilethe iron is hot.Expect the best dealsearlier in the month.Right before Christmas,stores know you’re desperate,and the prices reflect it!

Consider buying a computer.December historically has been agood time to scope out last year’sdiscounted models. Cheaper modelstypically go on sale Black Friday,but for higher-quality merchandise,wait until mid-December.

Splurge on a pool.Granted, the northern

USA is buried in snow, whichcould make installation impossi-

ble. But if you live in a climatewhere the ground isn’t frozen, thisis the time of year when pool salesare slowest, so stores are eager tonegotiate and installers are avail-able to get the project done right —and done on time.

—Julia Savacool

SPLASHY BARGAINSHere’s where to look, so dive on in!

The holidays are the perfect time to give back,says Jeff Corwin, host of TV’s Ocean Mysteries

with Jeff Corwin from Georgia Aquarium. He notes:“You can donate money to any number of wildlifeconservation organizations; all non-profits needfinancial contributions to stay afloat. But it’s notalways about cutting a big check.” Your timeand expertise also are needed. Some ideas:

Restore habitat. Find a group in yourarea whose focus is to restore local wildlifeor regional habitat.

Clean up trails. Volun-teer your time by organizingor participating in a local parksor nature trails cleanup, or ata wildlife sanctuary.

Special skills.Don’t forget your ownexpertise: accounting,public relations, fundraising.

Ocean Mysteries airs week-ends on ABC stations nation-wide. Check your local listings.

Giving isn’t just money

DECEMBER

NEGOTIATING? PLAN IT OUT

Draft: Get it all out. “If people takethe time to prepare and script for difficultconversations, they wouldn’t end up saying‘Why did I say that?’ ” he says. Write downyour thoughts. It helps you know whatyou want to cover.

Devil’s advocate: Find one! Getsomeone to look over your draft and helpshape it. “Look for someone who can giveyou advice for the right way to say whatyou’re going to say,” he says. Find a col-league, friend or relative who has beenin a similar business or personal situationand who can help eliminate things youwould regret saying, Shapiro says.

Deliver: Practice with a coach so youare confident and comfortable. “If youdon’t, you lose track of what you want tosay. The other side sees your vulnerability,and you may not reach your goal.”

6 USA WEEKEND · Dec. 6-8, 2013

Paul Rudd has made a ca-reer of playing the funnysidekick, the affable

yet frustrated dad and thelovable loser, charming au-diences with his brightsmile and impeccable co-medic timing.

On Dec. 20, he dusts offa bottle of Sex Panthercologne and reprises hisrole as the mustachioed“ladies man” Brian Fan-tana in Anchorman 2:The Legend Continues.

We caught up withRudd at his New YorkCity office recently to chatabout how his life haschanged since filming thefirst Anchorman 10 yearsago, what it’s like workingwith Will Ferrell and AdamMcKay and why his daughtermight be the only person inAmerica who prefers him with athick black mustache.

Tell us a little bit about theAnchorman sequel and howit differs from the first film.

It’s been tricky so far to get into specifics.There’s a twist in this one, but I can’t reallygive it away.

It takes place at the dawn of the 24-hournews cycle. I can tell you this: it has a pointof view and there is a story and it’s ridicu-lous. It’s even more bizarre than the firstone, I think. My take on it is obviouslyskewed and I’m biased, but I think what’sappealing about the first one lives on in thisone. Adam and Will know this world so welland know these characters so well. Theydon’t have it in them to play it safe andrecycle; they take big swings.

How have you changed in the last 10years, career-wise and personally? Areyou different in some ways than you were

the first time around?Yeah, I feel different. So muchhas happened in my life in theinterim, personally. I didn’thave kids the last time around,crazy amounts of things havehappened that changed who Iam. My dad died. I’m older.

My whole view about every-thing is different. Maybe onsome subconscious level, thecharacter is different. Itprobably is different withsome slight gradation, be-cause I’m different.

You’re best known forroles in which you play the

affable, but frustrated dad(Knocked Up and This is 40)

or the loveable loser (Our Idi-ot Brother). Was it refreshing

to step back into the shoes of thearrogant Brian Fantana, who is

convinced he’s a ladies man?It’s a fun character to play and a

fun group of guys to be workingwith, for sure. When I read thefirst script many years ago, Ithought it was the funniestscript I’d read in years.

Will Ferrell makes me laugh sohard. Ron Burgundy issuch a fully realized

buffoon.Now that you have a

family (son Jack, 7 anddaughter Darby, 3), do

you try to work less? Hasit changed your career?I have worked less this year.

People might find that hard tobelieve, because the cable net-works play these movies over andover, again, so there’s an omni-presence. My kids know thatthere are some aspects to our lifethat are different from other fam-ilies, but for the most part, we’rekind of typical.

Any fun holiday plans?We’re all going bungee jump-

ing as a family. No, I plan onbeing with my family for the holi-days but I have no specific funplans. We like to just be togetherand laugh.

Are your kids aware of themovies you’re in?

My daughter mentioned BrianFantana the other day. She likesit better when I have a mustache.I’d rather we go see somethingdifferent as a family than a movie

I’m in. 6

COVER AND COVER STORY PHOTOGRAPHY: CHRIS PIZZELLO, INVISION/AP. “ANCHORMAN 2”: GEMMA LAMANA, PARAMOUNT PICTURES.

Thanksgiving releases (including animated films Frozen and Free Birds) got theball rolling, but there are lots more coming in the next few weeks.

AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY(opening Dec. 25) is the film adapta-tion of Tracy Letts’ play of the samename, which won the 2008 PulitzerPrize for Drama It features an en-semble cast of boldface names.

Why it sparkles: The plot centerson the decades-old simmeringconflict between a mother anddaughter. The tension (and humor)of the relationship gives stars MerylStreep and Julia Roberts plenty ofstrong material.

Behind the scenes: Tracy Letts isalso an accomplished actor – hewon the 2013 Tony Award forBest Actor in a Play, forthe role of George inWho’s Afraid of Vir-ginia Woolf?

MANDELA:LONG WALK TOFREEDOM (inmany theaters now)is based on the 1994book by formerSouth African presi-dent Nelson Mandela.

Why it sparkles:Idris Elba portraysthe anti-apartheidactivist in a film thatconcentrates on hisearly life and impris-onment. For those who

know Mandela only as an elder states-man, Elba’s performance is a revelation.

Behind the scenes: "I'm 41 years old,"Elba said. "He was jailed at 43, so he'dlived a full life by the time he decided tostruggle. That's something that a lot ofpeople don't understand about him. "

SAVINGMR. BANKS (openingDec. 20) chronicles Walt Disney’s effortsto persuade P.L. Travers, the creator of

Mary Poppins to allow theDisney studio make a filmo

adaptation of her books.

Why it sparkles: TomHanks and Emma Thomp-son, as Disney and Travers,

make fine foils foreach other. The filmalso offers a lot ofperiod detail anda close look atDisney’s creativeprocess.

There’s really only handful ofscripts you read that yousay, ‘I just want to keepthis script and read it oc-casionally for pleasure.’

But it’s a blast playingthat kind of guy, especial-ly amongst those three oth-er guys, because they exist intheir own world where the rulesthey’ve created for themselvesonly make sense to themselves.We can all say things as thosecharacters that we can never sayas another character. Part of whatmakes them palatable to an audi-ence is there is some kind ofsweetness to it. They’re there foreach other; they don’t judge eachother; they never call each otherout on their idiocy. Maybe theydon’t realize it, maybe that’s thething that makes it work.

Some actors avoid seeingthemselves on the big screen.

I’m the worst judge of all. I’mtoo close to it, so I have a veryskewed perspective. When I didsee (Anchorman 2), there were afew scenes that had me cryinglaughing.

Part of whatmakes them palatable to an audi-ence is there is some kind ofsweetness to it. They’re there foreach other; they don’t judge eachother; they never call each otherout on their idiocy. Maybe theydon’t realize it, maybe that’s thething that makes it work.

Some actors avoid seeingthemselves on the big screen.

I’m the worst judge of all. I’mtoo close to it, so I have a veryskewed perspective. When I didsee (Anchorman 2), there were afew scenes that had me cryinglaughing.

USA WEEKEND · Dec. 6-8, 2013 9

THE WOLF OF WALL STREET(opening Dec. 25) is based on thetrue story of Jordan Belfort , a high-flying stockbroker who was exposedas a fraud.

Why it sparkles: Leonardo Di-Caprio’s performance as Belfort issaid to be Oscar-worthy; MartinScorsese directs an impressive cast.

Behind the scenes: If you like themovie, you might love meeting thereal Belfort. He’s making a handsomeliving (though he still owes millionsto the federal government) as amotivational speaker and consultant.

AMERICAN HUSTLE (openingDec. 18) has a similar theme and alsotells the real-life tale of a con man.Based on files from the FBI’s ABSCAMsting operation of the late 1970s, thefilm tells the story of a rogue agent(Bradley Cooper) and his unwillingoperatives (Christian Bale and AmyAdams).

Why it sparkles: Seeing today’s topactors decked out like the cast ofSaturday Night Fever has it charms,but many filmgoers will want to see ifJennifer Lawrence hits another homerun in a role written for her by direc-tor David O. Russell. Russell alsodirected Lawrence in her Oscar-winning performance in Silver LiningsPlaybook.

Behind the scenes: Production washalted during the manhunt followingthe Boston Marathon bombing;Bradley Cooper went to the BostonMedical Center the following day tosee Jeffrey Bauman Jr., who lost bothof his legs in the attack.6

Bradley Cooper and ChristianBale star in American Hustle.

The holidays are all aboutfun and festivities, toastsand cheers, and lots (andlots) of food. Despite your

best intentions to not overeat anddrink just a little, you inevitably getswept up in the revelry and findyourself overindulging at the buffetand the bar.

On average, Americans gain 1 to 2pounds around this time, and whilethat may not sound like a huge deal,published research has shown thatmost people don’t ever lose it, soover the years the extra holidayweight can add up.

Here are some strategies to helpshow a little restraint andstay on a healthy track while

still enjoying you favoriteholiday fare:

Don’t skip meals.You figure only a cup of

coffee for breakfast meansyou can eat whatever you

want at a party later on withno caloric consequences.

It may sound like a good plan, butchances are it will backfire: Arrivingat the holiday gathering hungry of-

ten means you’ll overeat on less-than-healthy foods. Your bestbet is to start your day with asmall meal that includes satis-

fying whole grains, fruit, low-fat orfat-free dairy and some protein, likeeggs or peanut butter. You’ll be lesstempted to overindulge later.

Step away from the buffet.Chatting near the appetizer platters

and food trays makes ittoo easy to keep picking.Keep your socializing onthe move to minimize un-conscious nibbling. Andwhen you’re ready to eat,do a quick survey of theofferings to help you de-cide what to sample andwhat to skip.

Make sure you leave room forfruits and vegetables to keep yourplate balanced. Another tip: Use asmaller plate. Studies show you’lldish yourself fewer calories.

Break before seconds. It takesyour brain about 20 minutes to reg-

ister that you’re not hungry any-more. If you keep eating to the pointof fullness, that uncomfortablystuffed, about-to-pop-a-button feel-ing will kick in a little later.

So instead, eat slowly duringmeals and take a breather beforegoing for another helping — sit,talk, relax and give your body timeto catch up.

Pace and space your cocktails.That’s one strategy to keep youralcohol intake in check — sip slowlyso you have no more than one barbeverage an hour.

And make every other a non-alco-holic drink, such as water or soda.Also: Don’t toast the holidays onempty stomach — alcohol is ab-sorbed more slowly with food inyour belly. 6

“Geez; I was begining to think summerwould never get here.”

Clogged, Backed—upSepticSystem…CananythingRestore It?DEAR DARRYL: My home is about10 years old, and so is my septicsystem. I have always taken pride inkeeping my home and property in topshape. In fact, my neighbors and I arealways kidding each other about whokeeps their home and yard nicest. Lately, however, I have had a horrible smellin my yard, and also in one of my bathrooms, coming from the shower drain.My grass is muddy and all the drains in my home are very slow.

My wife is on my back to make the bathroom stop smelling and as you canimagine, my neighbors are having a field day, kidding me about the mud pitand sewage stench in my yard. It’s humiliating. I called a plumber buddy ofmine, who recommended pumping (and maybe even replacing) my septicsystem. But at the potential cost of thousands of dollars, I hate to explore thatoption.

I tried the store bought, so called, Septic treatments out there, and they didNothing to clear up my problem. Is there anything on the market I can pour orflush into my system that will restore it to normal, and keep it maintained?
