A reader sent us this photo of Richard Grieco and remarked that he resembled Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker. We don't think it looks like Ramirez OR Grieco, but when we checked it out, we found out this demented looking guy really IS Richard Grieco. He's changed a lot since "21 Jump Street." Of course, anybody can take a bad picture.

These incredibly corny photo set-ups that Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag arrange, continue to be a significant source of income. SOMEBODY is actually buying them! On Valentines day they "shared" their tender moments when Spencer gave Heidi a pair of platform shoes as a gift (?) and they smooched on a yacht. Seriously, these arranged photo-ops pull in an average of $10,000 a week for the couple to split! (Spencer used to take ALL the money until Heidi found out they were getting paid.) Nauseating, isn't it?

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is in the final days of post production, but they had a last minute expense. Keira Knightley's complexion wasn't up to snuff, so they called in special effects experts to smooth it out. Keira, 22, was said to have had a bad reaction to make-up, and she broke out with acne during filming. Despite the best lighting efforts, the bumps still showed so they were digitally removed in every close-up. Now she looks as beautiful as Johnny Depp.

Above you have a still-famous member of a notorious U.K. punk band that RULED in the 70's. Now he's famous for something else. Here he's lounging by the pool at 999 North Doheny Drive in his new Speedo - trying to get rid of tan lines. Surprised to see no tattoos?
Okay, maybe you guessed that the wet Brit is Steve Jones of the Sex pistols. Now he's a famous DJ on Jonesy's Jukebox at Indie 103.1. This is a recent picture of Jonesy with 70's rock photographer Brad Elterman who took the original shot years ago. We both lived at 999 Doheny in those days - Brad invited Steve over for a photo shoot in the pool. Back then, Steve was delighted to be invited to swim in a pool. Brad says Steve was "really sweet with a cockney accent." Brad is having a retrospective of some of his rockin' photos this week in Beverly Hills sponsored by Next Models Management.

We stumbled across this old photo of a very famous a-list actress in her first role. We didn't recognize her at first. Do you?
We knew that Gwen Stefani's delectable hairdo reminded us of a sweet confection. Recently we realized exactly which one: Tastee Freeze!
We got such a positive reaction to the lookalike photos of Sly Stallone and his mother, that we just HAD to show you another set of mother-son photos from the Daily Mail. It's apparent that Tom Cruise does not take after his father - whoever he was. Tom and his mother Mary have the same megawatt smile.
Is this a sinister plot or an odd camera angle - or an accurate portrayal of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? In this recent photo taken at the Beverly Regent Hotel Tom appears miniscule next to his towering girlfriend. She IS wearing high heels but the height difference is startling. Tom's fans are outraged - they claim people are conspiring to make Tom appear foolish and insist the picture is Photoshopped. They feel this is just the latest form of harrassment against their idol. We don't know if it's a joke or not, but it is a hoot.
Is ANYBODY surprised to learn that Jessica Simpson's father Joe is probably making tons of money from photographs of his daughters? Joe has some kind of deal with the biggest photo agency WireImage, according to Jeannette Walls - he might give them inside tips about photo ops or give them his own family photos to be sold. Either way he makes a bundle and as we have pointed out, he's not the only celebrity's relative to cash in.Of course many celebs want a cut of photo money for themselves - like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Harry Morton, Kate Hudson, Nicole Richie and Brody Jenner (and MANY more.) They ALL set up photo ops and take a cut of the profits. One of the few NOT under suspicion is Jennifer Aniston - she doesn't need the money OR the publicity. And her photos are worth the MOST!
