Yesterday we mentioned how both Details and GQ could look forward to an unexpected bout of press from their cover stars — with Jonathan Rhys Meyers getting arrested at a Dublin airport and Kanye West's mother dying.
Both tragedies. Both good for Dan Peres and Jim Nelson's newsstand.
And then even more, ahem, "good fortune" struck Peres' mag: Rhys Meyers' mother died on Tuesday in England, it was just announced. Then, just three hours after his mama was pronounced dead, the paparazzi spotted him drinking in public at 10am (Brit time!). To be fair, he also bought a newspaper, so at least he has some priorities intact.
Meanwhile: Rhys Meyers was on The View this morning, discussing his new movie August Rush. And no mention of his mama. But he did mention tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Ah, the perils of pre-taped episodes. (Update: A View spokesman writes us to say the episode was taped Nov. 12.)
