JANET JACKSON JOINING THE JACKSON 5: THAT’LL BE THE DAY

The most unlikely rumor of the week has to be the story that Janet Jackson is subbing for Michael Jackson and joining her brothers Jermaine, Marlon, Tito, and Jackie, on tour as the Jackson 5. Apparently Jermaine insists that Janet has committed to the tour which will use some of the sets from Michael’s defunct “This Is It” show. Granted, Janet’s last tour on her own was not a success, but this could be a huge step down. Keep in mind also, that Jermaine HAS been known to jump the gun in the past. If it were to happen, we can already picture Jermaine (who declared himself “the next Michael Jackson”) and Janet clashing over everything – starting with billing. And how would they EVER split up the money?

Two winners. Tom Ford and Christoph Waltz walked through Heathrow airport together after the BAFTA awards in London. Both have been regulars at all the award shows. As usual, Christoph won the supporting actor award for “Inglourious Basterds,” and Colin Firth won the leading man award for the movie “A Single Man,” which Tom directed.

Engaged Lorenzo Lamas Michael Evers Shawna Craig

FOOL FOR LOVE LORENZO LAMAS IS ENGAGED AGAIN

It was inevitable. Lorenzo Lamas, undaunted by four divorces and six children, got engaged again. And it’s another whirlwind romance. Lorenzo was working out at Sports club LA three months ago when he met Shawna Craig, 23, a former beauty queen who’d just arrived from Florida. (Almost the same name as his LAST Shauna) He proposed on Valentines Day and this weekend he had an engagement party at Mr Chow. (Above photo: someone gave them Tiffany champagne glasses as a gift.) Lorenzo’s family, including his daughter Shane, whom you remember from The Bachelor, was there. Shane was nuzzled up to “One Heart” star Michael Evers, who seems to be EVERYWHERE.

Bodyguards Ke$ha Oops! Shoes!

KE$HA TAKES A TRIP

Ke$ha lost her balance in her platform shoes and nearly tumbled to her knees on a London street outside her hotel. She was returning from a radio show, not a nightclub. Fortunately she was holding onto her bodyguard at the time and he pulled her back up. Security guys do double duty now – they protect stars from aggressive fans, and make sure their clients don’t fall down in their precipitous shoes.

House Real Estate Tom Hanks

THIS IS WHAT TOM HANKS GOT FOR 26 MILLION DOLLARS?

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

We’ve been told this is a photo of the 26 million dollar house that Tom Hanks bought and we have to admit we’re more than a little disappointed. The Architecture from this angle seems pedestrian at best, and not at all inviting. The pool area is flat and dull with no relief from the sun. The landscaping is far from lush and there seems to be no shaded outside area for entertaining. Imagine a three story house this size with only four bedrooms! We have to say the outside of the house, which is very important in California, doesn’t live up to the astronomical price. (Click on photo to enlarge)

Bill Kaulitz Tokio Hotel Tom Kaulitz Twins

TOKIO HOTEL’S TWINS TOM AND BILL KAULITZ HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON

Our obsession with twins motivates us to write about the Kaulitz brothers, Tom and Bill, as often as possilble. The German twins and their band Tokio Hotel performed this weekend in Nice and were photographed at the airport. We love that they are SO opposite, yet obviously very close.

Fashion Lourdes Ciccone Leon Madonna Mercy James

MERCY AND LOURDES BOTH OUTDRESSED MADONNA

Madonna’s adopted daughter Mercy is clearly adapting quickly to the good life in New York. Note the Stella McCartney band jacket she’s wearing. She and her sister Lourdes show a real sense of style on a recent family outing to the Kabbalah center. Surprisingly, Madonna was questionably attired in an Ed Hardy hat and Shirt.

Leonardo DiCaprio Movies

SHUTTER ISLAND: COINCIDENTALLY OR NOT, “TWILIGHT ZONE” IS LEONARDO DICAPRIO’S FAVORITE TV SERIES

We’re eager to hear what readers thought of “Shutter Island,” which opened this weekend, because it’s not the usual Scorsese fare. First of all, we were immediately blown away by the extraordinary cinematography. Each scene was almost surreal in clarity and beauty – we wonder if the NON 3D version of “Avatar” looked this good. The 3D movie didn’t. We happen to be huge fans of “Twilight Zone” (along with Leonardo DiCaprio) and when we say this film is like a two hour return to the classic TV series, we mean it as a compliment. It’s a real psychological thriller and it’s hard to figure out what’s real and what’s not. Fun and entertaining.

DCMA Joel Madden Nicole Richie Out of Business

JOEL MADDEN’S DCMA STORE IS CLOSED JUST AS HE GETS ENGAGED TO NICOLE RICHIE

The rumor is percolating that Joel Madden’s DCMA Collective store on Melrose has gone out of business. It seems to be true. The shop sold mostly black t shirts, hoodies, and skater gear. Bad timing, since the mother of his two kids, Nicole Richie, and Joel just finally got engaged. Time for Good Charlotte to go on the road again.

Dogs Emily Blunt John Krasinski

EMILY BLUNT STANDS BACK AND LETS JOHN KRASINSKI WIND UP FOR A TOSS

Emily Blunt (“The Devil Wears Prada”) and her fiancee John Krasinski (“The Office”) took his dog Finn (far right) to an LA dog park for some exercise. Finn makes friends fast, because they were soon surrounded by frolicking dogs, and Emily had to duck while John made a mighty toss.
