But the cast is a treat too, led by an innocent-looking Lindsay Lohan but brilliantly supported by future big stars Amanda Seyfried and Rachel McAdams. So fetch !

Ronan and Mia Farrow Photo: Desiree Navarro/WireImage Can you separate an artist’s behavior from his or her art — and should you? There’s no easy answer to that question, but we still fight about it regularly over cultural figures such as Orson Scott Card, Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen, R. Kelly, Alec Baldwin, Roman Polanski, and most recently Duck Dynasty ’s Phil Robertson. One of the more durable focal points for this dilemma is Woody Allen, who became a hot-button issue in 1992 when he married his stepdaughter Soon-Yi Previn and got embroiled in a custody battle with his ex-girlfriend Mia Farrow, who alleged that he’d molested their then-7-year-old adopted stepdaughter, Dylan. Each new Allen film dredges up the debate over whether his career achievement eclipses his scandalous acts. His latest project, Blue Jasmine , has been heralded as an Allen comeback, and won an acting award for its star Cate Blanchett at last night’s Golden Globes, where Diane Keaton accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement on his behalf. The usual “never forget!” calls were heard on Twitter as a hagiographic clip reel played and Keaton sang about what a good pal he was. Then Farrow and her son, Ronan, joined in, and what might otherwise have been a standard kissy-kissy Hollywood moment acquired darker shadings. It used to be that those who believed they’d been misunderstood or wronged aired their grievances to the press, mostly newspapers. Maybe they’d write a piece (or have someone write it for them), or maybe they’d give quotes to a reporter who’d reprint them, with or without context. When the public lost interest in their particular scandal, the press deemed it “old news” and moved onto the next tawdry thing; beyond that point, there were few forums for continued outcry. Today, thanks to social media, those who feel personally affected by a famous person’s behavior can weigh in instantly and publicly, sometimes at the exact moment when the man they believe … [Read more...] about Seitz: The Power of Mia and Ronan Farrow’s Virtual Booing of Woody Allen
