Kanye West considers himself a fashion expert since he became involved in the design business and he’s been telling his pregnant girlfriend Kim Kardashian what to wear. So whom do we blame for this maternity nightmare? Kim is stuffed into monumentally unflattering peplum pants and a way too tight black turtleneck. She’d better get OUT of her habit of wearing skin tight clothes because it’s not an appealing look when one is pregnant.
Carrie Fisher is the talk of West Hollywood. Last weekend she was booked to do two “Evenings with Carrie Fisher” on the RSVP gay cruise to the Caribbean. (Hers is one of the best one woman shows we have ever seen – she’s brilliant!) When the ship stopped for beach time in Aruba, Carrie would board the ship, do her shows, and get off at the next stop. The boys on the beach were surprised to see Carrie swimming with her clothes on (a muu muu) and talking on and on, rather loudly, to herself. That night she arrived onstage a hot mess- late, disheveled, and carrying her small dog. Keep in mind Carrie has openly discussed her bipolar condition and substance abuse in the past. Maybe she skipped her meds that day because she made NO sense onstage. While she rambled incoherently, her dog peed on the floor (she mopped up with table napkins) and a few minutes later he pooped on the stage. The audience started to buzz but she was oblivious and a staffer covered the mess with a tablecloth. Since Carrie was babbling and everyone was embarrassed, audience members started to get up and leave and she tried to grab them and stop them. The show was abruptly cancelled and her second show was also. The next day she seemed perfectly happy as she left the ship, waving goodbye to all as if nothing happened.
We backed Megan Fox when she called out “Transformers” director Michael Bay for being the obnoxious cad we’ve always heard he was. Bay is notorious for his huge ego and condescending treatment of women. Fox compared Bay to Hitler and said he was a nightmare to work for. We’ve heard worse. Bey pretended to brush it off but he got even by firing her very publicly from the third Transformers movie. According to Deadline.com, Bay just announced that Megan will star in his live action feature “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” Maybe Bay finally realized Megan was right – or maybe he just got over himself. Anyway, it’s a good thing.
Johnny Depp looks adorable in his double-breasted plaid overcoat and fedora as he leaves The David Letterman show. (Note those two wide-eyed girls behind him) He was there to promote, not The Lone Ranger, which doesn’t come out until next summer, but his new ALBUM. Johnny and his “Pirates of the Caribbean” director, Gore Verbinski, paired up to produce and record an album of pirate ballads and sea songs! He always wanted to be a rock star…

We have to acknowledge Howard Stern for putting his experienced two cents into the Clive Davis-Kelly Clarkson feud. (As you know, Clive wrote some things in his new book that Kelly took exception to.) It’s apparent that Howard’s familiar with the ins and outs of the music business and especially the egotistical guys in managerial positions. Stern summed up the situation for his radio listeners:
“It sickens me when management guys like to set the record straight about how f—ing creative they are and what geniuses they are,” Stern said. “This guy is trying to diminish what she does? Doesn’t he have enough in life, can’t he tell his story without f—ing degrading her?”
We can’t help but ponder the news that Bravo producers are BEGGING LeAnn Rimes to join the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Leann’s nemesis Brandi Glanville is totally up for it! Bravo is telling LeAnn that this is her opportunity to tell “her side of the story.” LeAnn famously broke up Brandi’s family and stole her husband Eddie Cibrian, whom she promptly married. But there really isn’t a GOOD side to that story so how can Leann clean up her image, anyway? Brandi’s new book would probably benefit if LeAnn were sensationally added to the cast. LeAnn’s penchant for being photographed in a bikini would certainly spur Brandi to a bikini showdown. WE would certainly tune in, wondering how long LeAnn could hold on to her sanity. Stranger things have happened.
Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter are two genuine English eccentrics (although he wasn’t born there) and they arrived at LAX wearing sunglasses – ready to face Los Angeles. Tim’s animated feature “Frankenweenie” is nominated for an Oscar in the animation category and expected to win. Helena wore a flower print long dress and fur boots and Tim wore his arm in a sling after a fall in London. They have a lot of partying to do before the Oscars.

Star Magazine figured that since LeAnn Rimes has been looking healthier, it was time to haul out the “she’s pregnant” rumors. After all, it’d been awhile since they had seen a photograph of LeAnn with a drink in her hand. Best of all, the news would probably incite Brandi Glanville to let loose a barrage of unfiltered commentary. Unfortunately, LeAnn was able to deny the rumor before it became an issue. Certainly it isn’t a great time for her to have a baby anyway, with all her emotional problems.
Another fashionista in the Beckham family! Victoria and David Beckham have style to burn, so it’s not surprising that their progeny are following in their footsteps. Romeo is only ten years old but he’s already done some modeling and he’s starting to look more and more like his dad. Above, in Paris, he’s rocking sunglasses and a Burberry jacket, cool hair, and tons of attitude.
How refreshing it was to have Kelly Clarkson criticize and deny some of the recollections Clive Davis wrote about in his new book. Her outburst took courage because MEN rule in the world of music management and heaven help the woman who is not cooperative. We never thought about it, but Clive Davis was probably a tyrant just like the majority of music moguls and it’s likely that he too, treated women in that familiar and condescending manner. It seems he just wasn’t that nice to newcomer Kelly. We applaud Kelly’s courage in standing up to Davis! Click HERE to review Kelly’s complaints.
