On Saturday, July 8, at 10 p.m., HBO
will start airing Tour De Pharmacy,
a mockumentary. Here’s the official
description: “In 1982, the sport’s most
venerable, time-honored race was
marred by the doping of virtually all of
its competitors. Riddled with nefari-
ous characters, that year’s competition
was a hornet’s nest of moral depravity.
Through the perspective of five riders,
Tour de Pharmacy gives an inside look
at the grim realities of the darkest event
in a sport notoriously tainted by contro-
versy.”
Andy Samberg, 38, and Tony winner
Daveed Diggs (Hamilton), 35, play two
of the five riders. Those playing docu-
mentary interview subjects include: Jeff
Goldblum, 64, Maya Rudolph, 44, and
director J.J. Abrams (Star Trek), 50.
I’m not surprised that disgraced cyclist
Lance “I did dope” Armstrong makes a
cameo appearance. He’s proven he’ll do
anything for money and camera “face
time.”
Samberg
Millepied and Portman

So far, the last name of Goldie, the
comedy club owner featured in the
new Showtime series I’m Dying Up
Here (see June 8 column) hasn’t been
mentioned in an episode, but the cred-
its reveal it is “Herschlag.” Obviously,
the writers didn’t pick that at random:
Many people know that Herschlag is
Natalie Portman’s original last name
(Portman is her paternal grandma’s
maiden name). I don’t think it’s a dig at
Portman, but more of an inside joke to
amuse the writers and well-informed
viewers.
Portman, 36, was in attendance
when her husband’s company, the L.A.
Dance Project, performed in a New
York City theater from June 14-25.
Also there opening night was Darren
Aronofsky, 48, who directed Portman
in the ballet film Black Swan (2010),
which earned her a Best Actress Oscar.
The program featured works choreo-
graphed by Benjamin Millepied, 40,
Portman’s husband, and by others.
Well-reviewed was the dance “Yag,” by
Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharain,
65. He’s the director of the famous
Batsheva Dance Company of Israel.
Sadly, the New York Times savaged
the dances Millepied created: “If it
wasn’t for his own creations, I’d call Mr.
Millepied — enterprising, chic, unpre-
dictable, modern — a very consider-
able force for good in the dance world.
But he’s been making consistently
unimportant dances for many years
Douglas
now. They’re what stop the L.A. Dance
Project from becoming an important
company.” Ouch.
BRIEFLY NOTED
Billy Joel, 68, spoke two weeks ago at
the graduation ceremony of his Long
Island high school. It was the 50th anni-
versary of his almost-graduation (he left
high school one credit short).
On June 21, a Manhattan fed-
eral judge approved the request of
Cameron Douglas, 38, to leave the
New York area and travel to California
to visit his grandfather, Kirk Douglas,
100. Cameron’s long history of drug
abuse led to a six-year stay in prison
that ended last August when he was
paroled. He was almost sent back to
jail in April when he tested positive for
marijuana. The New York Post reports
that Kirk often talks to his grandson on
the phone and inquires when he will
come out and see him. Outside the
court, Cameron thanked the judge pro-
fusely and said that the trip had nothing
to do with Kirk’s health. “He is healthy,”
Cameron said. •
