These things, to varying degrees and for disparate reasons, feel like they came from a rushed novel about celebrities in 2011:

• A glamorous British actress disappearing from the spotlight for a while, returning with a movie about the psychosexual rivalry between Freud and Jung
• A “sweetheart” American actress disappearing for two years after winning an Oscar and getting embroiled in a Nazi/sex scandal within a week, returning with a 9/11 drama in which she plays a mom
• A young TV star having her star-making role as George Clooney’s daughter, getting “Oscar buzz”
• A pop star dressing up, in successive videos, in: a pile of candy, a spark-generating bodice, alien-themed CGI, high-schooler drag, old-lady drag, all in order to get attention
• The following parts as “Oscar bait”: transvestite Irish butler, Margaret Thatcher, put-upon maid, J. Edgar Hoover, gay old man
• The following movie premise as “Oscar bait”: the undying friendship between a Great War soldier and his horse
• A faded pop star using a body double to shoot a video about her old neighborhood, to promote a European luxury-car company
• A 3-D Great Gatsby shooting in Australia
