NEW YORK — A radiant Claire Danes walked the red carpet for the New York premiere of her new film, “A Kid Like Jake.” She was glowing for a good reason — not just a new movie.
“I'm quite pregnant, but feeling good so far,” Danes told The Associated Press. The actress is in her second trimester. It will be the second child for Danes and husband, Hugh Dancy.
Her co-star, Jim Parsons, was feeling good, too, though he strolled in with a cane and walking cast. It was the result of an onstage accident he sustained during his Broadway play, “The Boys in the Band.”
“I injured it going to curtain call. I don't have any physical feats in this play that require me to jump or anything like that; I just tripped going down a stair, and cracked my foot and tore a ligament in my ankle,” Parsons said.
As for the film, Danes and Parsons play the parents of a 4-year old boy named Jake who likes dressing up as a princess. The couple wonders if they should exploit Jake's gender nonconformity to gain an edge in school applications.
Danes identified with the challenge of finding the right school, because she was experiencing a similar issue while making the film.
“I related immediately to the story,” she said. “When I shot the movie, my son was 4 years old, and I had just gone through that gauntlet of applying to kindergartens here in New York City, which is a unique kind of torture, really.”

NEW YORK — Farewell tours don't always mean farewell. Still, they are a ripe time for appreciation and appraisal. Paul Simon's concerts and a new biography offer the opportunity for both.Simon's “Homeward Bound” tour began last week in Vancouver and takes him across North America, to Europe and an eventual conclusion with three dates back home in New York City.Simon, who's 76, isn't retiring.He has an album due out this fall and promises he'll still occasionally appear on stage. Since he started writing songs as a teenager, it's hard to imagine that impulse shutting off forever. He's done with the idea of long concert tours, so if you live in Greensboro, Austin or Orlando and want to see him perform, this is probably it.
