Arts & Entertainment Celebrity .Tens NATE BLOOM Special to the Jewish News Connelly Comes Out Jennifer Connelly: Double dose guilt The beautiful JENNIFER CONNEL- LY, who soared to stardom with her 2001 Oscar for A Beautiful Mind is now co-starring in the horror thriller Dark Waters, which opened last week. A friend of Connelly's told me in 2000 that Connelly's mother was Jewish, and I noted this info on my Web site, wsvw.jewhoo.com . My note - made its way to ADAM SANDLER, and Connelly was mentioned in the last version of Sandler's "Chanukah Song." However, Connelly, so far as I never told the press about her "Jewish side." She broke her silence in very recent interviews with David Letterman and a Connecticut newspaper. The actress described herself as "an Irish Catholic Jew" and said that she was raised with "a double dose of guilt" — the news- paper adding the detail that her moth- er attended a yeshivah school. Simchah Shtarkers Opening July 15 is The Wedding Crashers, a film starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as two guys who crash weddings hoping to find women in a romantic mood. In one scene, pretending to be Jewish, they crash a Jewish wedding, and in the background you can hear "Hava Nagila" as played by the talented Klezmer Juicers (also on the film's CD soundtrack). The very pretty Australian actress Isla Fisher has her first big American movie part as Vaughn's main love interest. About a year ago, there were many news reports that Fisher converted to Judaism in advance of her pending nuptials to Brit Jewish comedian SASCHA BARON COHEN ("Ali G"). Well, a year later, the couple is yet to be married, and one news site quotes Fisher as saying she is "still working on converting." Fisher said in another cur- rent interview that she and Cohen are still getting married for sure — we're just not sure if she is kosher yet. New Voyages boyfriend DAVID WILDENSTEIN, 25. The pair was at a for-charity cele- bration of the 75th anniversary of ANNE FRANK's birth. Rossum per- formed at the New York event, as did Jewish celebs MICHAEL FEINSTEIN, LOU REED and TIM BLAKE NELSON. David's a member of the famous (Jewish) Wildenstein family of billion- aire art dealers. Rossum's luster might mitigate the family's bad publicity of the last decade — from losing a libel suit to an author who wrote that David's great-grandfather did business with slimy art dealers who dealt in art looted from Jews by the Nazis — to ALEC WILDENSTEIN's (David's uncle) nasty public divorce from Jocelyn Wildenstein. (Jocelyn is semi- famous for having extensive plastic sur- gery that made her face look hideously lion-like. Tabloids dubbed her "the bride of Wildenstein"). Swim With Lenny RICHARD DREYFUSS and EMMY ROSSUM (Phantom of the Opera) have been signed to co-star in a remake of the big 1970s hit The Poseidon Adventure. It will open in 2006. Meanwhile, Rossum, 18, stoked the rumor mill when, last month, she was seen wearing Emmy Rossum: what appeared Engaged? to be an engage- ment ring while accompanying steady Multiple gold-medal Olympic swim- ming champ LENNY KRAYZEL- BURG is now in Israel as honorary cap- tain of the American delegation to the Maccabiah Games. While in Israel, Lenny is to be inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fanie at the Wingate Institute. Back in his hometown of Los Angeles, Lenny made the papers when he recently donated $100,000 to restore the pool at the Westside Jewish Community Center. It was at this cen- ter that the 13-year-old Krayzelburg re- started a swimming career that began in his native Ukraine but was put on hold when his family immigrated to 997080 Stuart Wise (248) 7 63 - 8059 stuart.b.wise@chase.com 0 CHASE 50 Details are beginning to emerge in leading papers about STEVEN SPIELBERG's untitled "Munich Olympics Project," now being filmed. In short, the movie is not going to be a cheerleading action adventure about the Israeli agents who hunted down and killed all but one of the ter- rorists behind the 1972 massacre of Israeli athletes. Rather, Spielberg is courting contro- versy by showing the psychological cost of the operation on those involved and the many problems inherent in tit-for-tat retaliation — no matter how outrageous the provocation. No, it won't be a controversy on the level of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, but the Jewish and general press will be writing reams on this film before it opens at the end of this year. 20750 Hoover Road (3 miles south of 1-696) Open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. and by appointment.
