These Are the Nights You Say Weeee!

Whoopi Goldberg, Jeremy Piven and Mrs. Sting (a.k.a. Trudie Styler) were among the boldface names to show up at the Ziegfeld theater last night for the premiere of the Monty Python documentary Almost the Truth: The Lawyer's Cut Edition. The film, produced by Bill Jones and Benjamin Timlett, stars the five surviving members of the British comedy troupe, which was founded forty years ago. Next week, the Independent Film Channel will broacast all six hours of the documentary, to be meted out in one-hour doses over six nights. The network's Python-athon will also include airings of the troupe's films, including Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Life of Brian and Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl. That should be enough to woo you away from Jay Leno for a spell.
