Demi Moore has style and ‘The Substance’

I’ve been fighting a losing battle with the flu the past few days, so the only essential walk I’ve taken is from my sofa to the medicine cabinet. The dog, a micro-Chihuahua named Pilaf, knows this, and Pilaf’s owner, Demi Moore, knows this as well, though that doesn’t mean she doesn’t apologize and ask if you’re OK with Pilaf taking liberties. And I think, ‘Maybe that’s my mom popping in.’” Moore just posted a series of behind-the-scenes photos from her new movie, “The Substance,” that may haunt the dreams of anyone following her Instagram account. Having read the book, it’s hard to imagine a better fit for the cautionary tale of “The Substance.” We talked about that — and a lot more — in this interview.
