HOW DOES MY HAIR LOOK?


Jennifer Aniston has made thinly veiled references to the fact that she’s happy to be with a guy who isn’t focused on his personal appearance. Her new beau Vince Vaughn is generally oblivious about his looks. Few people realize it, but Jen’s ex Brad Pitt, is one of the vainest actors in Hollywood. Not necessarily obnoxious, just OBSESSED with his looks. What OTHER actor do we know of who travels with his makeup artist to make sure his slightly flawed skin is prettied up to the max at all times? Brad is extremely fussy about his hair he spends HOURS in the salon chair getting perfect highlights. And they’d better be in the right places he’s been known to go home and decide that an important strand of hair was overlooked and go back for more! Even Brad’s funky wardrobe is no accident- like many female stars, he has a full time stylist shopping for him. Guess living up to the title Sexiest Man Alive is hard work. Wonder how Angelina feels about fighting for the mirror.

NO IFS ANDS OR BUTTS



Apparently Supermodel Tyra Banks isn’t kidding when she says she feels like SHE has flaws too. In fact she’s self-conscious enough to teach the cameramen on her talk show exactly how to shoot her. Tyra has a strict rule: NO SHOTS OF MY BUTT! Camera operators are instructed NOT to follow her rear end with the camera in situations where she’s walking away. “Keep it above my waist ” she warned. Sometimes even flattering lighting isn’t enough.

WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES



One more reason to love Keith Richards : He hates to wear anything that looks new or stylish or “designery.” His wardrober for the Rolling Stones current tour, Robert Carey-Williams , says “You can’t just present a new shirt on a hanger for Keith to wear. Richards would much rather discover a garment wadded up in a corner. Sometimes you have to leave clothes about, as opposed to offering them to him.”
Equally eccentric Johnny Depp has long admired Richards’ style and talent for wearing scarves. Depp modelled the look of his camp character in “Pirates of the Caribbean” after Keith. They’ve become such close friends that Keith likes to have the actor break in his shoes before he puts them on. And Johnny doesn’t mind scuffing up the shoes for his buddy at least they’re not too small.

KATIE'S BABY




We hear that Suri Cruise is being closely watched by the Scientologists because she COULD turn out to be L Ron Hubbard reincarnated! It brings to mind Rosemary’s Baby, doesn’t it? Anyway, the Scientology bunch has been eagerly awaiting the return of their departed spiritual leader. They believe when a Scientologist dies that they select a baby’s body and take over the soul. When the baby grows up it is drawn to Scientology. They calculate that Hubbard would select a very special child in which to make his return. Tom Cruise and Katie would be ideal parents for an L Ron Hubbard baby. Consequently they are looking for any sign that Suri has a link to Hubbard. Most likely they’ll have to wait until Suri can talk and begins her auditing classes. Who knows? She might start quoting passages from Dianetics.
For those of you who think my reference to Rosemary’s Baby is far �fetched: Here’s a synopsis of the movie from Yahoo:
“A young married couple, trying unsuccessfully to conceive, finally have it happen when the husband strikes a deal with the devil worshippers next door. All of this is unbeknownst to the poor wife/mother who soon realizes she could be having Satan’s child.”
I rest my case!

PHOTO TIPSTER



We wonder �is Richie Sambora in cahoots with Denise Richards in setting up all those photo ops of them frolicking together in Europe? He must be- they’re just too perfect. Denise wanted EVERYONE (especially Charlie Sheen and Heather Locklear) to know that she and Richie did NOT split up as erroneously written in In Touch. We get the hint, Denise. Naughty Denise HAS been feeling some press backlash an Australian mag supposedly wrote that Denise’s second child was actually Sambora’s- which the pair hotly denied. Another rumor abroad was that Denise is pregnant with Richie’s child right now. If those bikini shots are any indication, that story’s not true either.

IS SHE OR ISN'T SHE?



Last minute buzz: Before the final tally Wednesday night, a rumor swept the American Idol offices and backstage that Katharine McPhee ,or members of her family, have close ties to Scientology. As a result, the Scientologists were expected to organize a massive number of voters to make SURE that Katharine was the winner. Remember, Scientologists helped Tom Cruise tally an impressive first weekend by purchasing large blocks of tickets to his movie MI2. Nobody wanted to see the contest manipulated that way, and the rumor turned out NOT to be true. According to a family friend, Katharine is not and never has been a Scientologist, nor has anyone in her immediate family. So the vote wasn’t tainted and as far as we know, the best singer won fair and square.

THE GUY CAN'T HELP IT



Ladies man Jeff Goldblum, clad in an expensive black leather jacket and hip glasses, stopped into Greenblatts deli on Sunset to pick up dinner to go. (Salad and smoked salmon.) He struck up a flirty conversation with the girl in line in front of him. While waiting for his order, he chatted up the young saleswoman in the wine section. When a female shopper selected two bottles of wine, he started an animated discussion with her about her choices. An observer remarked ” He managed to flirt with every woman in the place while waiting for his order. No wonder he’s not engaged (to 23 year old dancer Catherine Wreford) anymore!”

UNDERCOVER SCHEME



The tabs are aflutter since a former US Weekly reporter was arrested for computer hacking. This reporter left US to start her own paparazzi agency, and a few days ago the FBI arrived at her home with a search warrant and seized her computer, among other items. She’s accused of hacking into the US computer system and scamming celebrity info in particular about Charlie Sheen. Why would she dig for Sheen info? The hot rumor around Hollywood is because she had a sweet backroom deal with Denise Richards, that’s why. It may or may not be true, but it sure makes sense. Denise set up photo ops for the agency� remember those first pix of her and Richie Sambora frolicking? Big bucks. In exchange, the former US reporter may have been digging up dirt about Charlie for Denise. Divorce ammunition. We wonder what Richie Sambora will think about being involved in this dirty little scheme.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SANTINO RICE?



Our favorite Project Runway loser is still the same ornery character he was on the show. (By the way, did you happen to notice on one episode of Runway that Santino’s “best friend” is Madonna’s exboyfriend Tony Ward? Small world, huh?) Five of the finalists on the BRAVO program were graduates of FIDM (The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) in Los Angeles. Namely, Daniel Franco, Guadalupe Vidal, Nick Verreos, Raymundo Baltazar, and Santino. After the reality show ended, the five graduates were invited back to FIDM to take part in a panel to discuss their success and answer students’ questions. Everyone said yes, except for Santino and the event took place without him. Why? Even though he lives in the area, Santino wanted his Alma Mater to fork over $5000 for his appearance!
