Boyfriend Dita Von Teese Louis Marie de Castelbajac

DITA VON TEESE’S BOYFRIEND DOESN’T MIND WAITING

Two years later, Dita Von Teese and her French boyfriend Louis Marie de Castelbajac are still together. (Above, they’re pictured leaving Chateau Marmont.) Since Dita almost always is SO immaculately attired and coiffed, we wonder if Louis every gets antsy waiting for her to finish dressing so they can go out. We picture him pacing back and forth, looking at his watch like other boyfriends. Or maybe Dita has her beauty routine down pat and she can whip herself together in minimal time. Unlikely, but either way, she IS worth waiting for.

FAYE DUNAWAY HAS A THING FOR LEONARD COHEN

The last time we wrote about Faye Dunaway dining, she was wearing plastic gloves and carefully weighing her chicken and broccoli at Koo Koo Roo. But she seems to have gotten a grip on her odd food habits because she had a very pleasant meal of prawns and chicken at Philippe in West Hollywood. Faye and a female friend enjoyed their food and discussed Leonard Cohen. Both agreed they love his music, and Faye admitted that she had a crush on the 76 year old singer.

Daughter George Lopez Girlfriend Maui

GEORGE LOPEZ TOOK HIS YOUNG GIRLFRIEND TO MAUI FOR A ROMANTIC VACATION

We HAD to laugh when we heard that George Lopez checked into the Fairmont Kea Lani Hotel in Maui with his “daughter.” Hotel staffers thought it was sweet that George, who mysteriously registered under the name “George Montgomery,” was spending vacation time with his daughter. It didn’t take them long to notice that the pretty young brunette was his GIRLFRIEND, not his daughter! Observers believe it was the same young woman (above) that newly single George took out to dinner recently in LA.

Andy Warhol New York Statue

ANDY WARHOL STATUE IN NEW YORK: IT’S ABOUT TIME

If anybody deserves a statue in New York, it’s Andy Warhol. After all, he’s probably the most important American artist of the 20th century. The city had a life size figure of Andy installed near his factory studio in Union Square and not far from his favorite hang-out Max’s Kansas City. We’re not sure why the artist, Rob Pruitt, chose a chrome finish, but we love the fact that Andy is wearing his camera and holding a full shopping bag. Andy ALWAYS had a shopping bag – he stopped at all the thrift shops on his way to work and collected whatever tickled his fancy.

Pandas Queen Sofia of Spain

QUEEN SOFIA VISITS SPAINS MOST FAMOUS TWINS

Queen Sofia of Spain took time to visit two of her country’s biggest celebrities at the Madrid zoo. These impossibly cuddly six month old twin giant panda cubs named Po and De De are the biggest draw in the zoo because none have been born in Spain since 1982. A Chinese veterinarian assisted in the artificial insemination (pandas are notoriously shy about sex) and the delivery. When these nearly extinct animals are born they weight only 6 ounces – lighter than an apple – and they grow up to weigh over 200 pounds

Jenny Craig Kirstie Alley Organic Liaison

JENNY CRAIG IS NO FAN OF KIRSTIE ALLEY

We hear that the people who run Jenny Craig are not at ALL happy with Kirstie Alley since she started her own diet plan. Kirstie claimed to have lost 80 pounds while she was spokesperson for Jenny Craig but her weight yo-yo’d up and down as she fought the urge to overeat. When she parted ways with Jenny, Kirstie had regained most of her poundage. While she was working with Jenny, Kirstie asked a LOT of questions about all their techniques and recommendations. Not long after she left, Kirstie used the knowledge she acquired at Jenny Craig and started her OWN weight loss system – “Organic Liaison” – in partnership with Scientology friends. Jenny Craig feels BURNED – Kirstie not only embarrassed them when she gained weight as their spokesperson, but she went off and opened her own competitive business! Now Jenny Craig is being very careful about selecting new spokespeople.

Anyone doubting that Jersey Shore has become a social phenomenon should take a look at this Las Vegas marquee from last weekend. It advertises Rain nightclub’s Friday attractions and Jersey Shore’s DJ Pauly D is billed ABOVE Britney Spears! Somebody in Britney’s camp dropped the ball on this one.

Conan the Barbarian Jason Momoa Lisa Bonet Movies

JASON MOMOA IS SEETHING AS CONAN THE BARBARIAN

Conan the Barbarian movies have never held much appeal for us, but we did a double take when we saw this photo of Jason Momoa in the 3D remake of Conan. Steamy. This 6’4” Stargate: Atlantis hunk brings a new animal magnetism to the fantasy – and it looks like that’s his real hair because he doesn’t have that goofy headband on. Lisa Bonet (the mother of his two children) is one lucky girl. The movie comes out in August.

Agatha Christie Angela Lansbury Jennifer Garner Miss Marple

JENNIFER GARNER: MEET THE NEW MISS MARPLE

Granted, we were surprised to hear that Disney has cast Jennifer Garner to star in their upcoming Agatha Christie movie as Miss Marple. Keep in mind, Angela Lansbury was considered young for the part when she played it in her fifties. The character of Miss Marple is a sturdy, sensible but slightly flighty mature woman who lives in the English countryside and enjoys gardening and detective work. Her surprisingly brilliant mind and knowledge of human nature helps her solve puzzling crimes. Jennifer Garner as a mild mannered English spinster? We have a feeling that Jen will pull it off in the updated version of the murder mystery.

Dancing With the Stars Hair! High School Kirstie Alley

KIRSTIE ALLEY AT SWEET SIXTEEN

We love to look at high school pictures of celebrities to see if they revealed “star quality” early on – or if they were late bloomers. Kirstie Alley was already quite beautiful when she was 16 (she looked a bit like Meg Ryan) but obviously didn’t know what to do with her very thick wavy hair so she cut it in a bowl cut. Or maybe she was aiming at the unfortunately popular “Dorothy Hamill wedge” cut. Either way it was a waste of Kirstie’s abundant hair.
