No, it’s not Nick Nolte – this happens to be Miami Vice star (and fashion icon) Don Johnson who made girls swoon as Sonny Crockett in the hit series. We assume he’s sporting this beard for the untitled movie he’s in the middle of filming in the Venice canals. Don, 63, whom we last saw as a plantation owner in “Django Unchained” is still a handsome man without all that facial hair.

The trailer for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone’s movie “Escape Plan” features the two aging action heroes in a knock-down drag-out fight. It’s something they’ve probably both been waiting to do for decades. These guys were once extremely competitive. Stallone found success first and he had the nerve to offer upcoming Arnold a small part in one of his movies playing his mentally challenged brother. Arnold was irritated and at the peak of his popularity would occasionally joke about Stallone – he thought Sly had terrible taste in clothes. Don’t forget Arnold also had a fling with Sly’s wife Brigitte Nielsen before Sly met her. Sly seethed when he heard Arnold’s wisecracks and he got revenge by PAYING an author to write a scathing biography of Arnold which described his father as a Nazi. Eventually the two rivals called a truce aand now in their maturity, they’re buddies as you can see.
The UK Mirror claims to have seen FBI papers that reveal that Michael Jackson paid 35 million dollars in hush money to buy the silence of children he molested over a fifteen year period. The victims numbered over two dozen boys including Jordie Chandler. In the early 90’s after Jordie’s father went public with abuse claims, Michael hired private investigator Anthony Pellicano to make sure no more allegations would pop up. Pellicano arranged to have many families and some of Jacksons employees paid off in exchange for silence. In 2002 the FBI seized Anthony Pellicano’s files after he was accused of racketeering and wiretapping for which he is now serving 15 years in prison. THAT’S how the FBI got the Jackson files. You can’t help but feel sorry for Michael’s kids.

Matt Lauer’s fierce and determined interview with Paula Deen in which he didn’t let her squirm out of a single important answer, brought to mind the rumor that he might be in line to take over Piers Morgan’s show on CNN. Today is still lagging in the sweeps and it seems like no one will ever let him forget about the Ann Curry firing. So a nighttime interview show might be looking pretty good to Matt about now. And Piers isn’t exactly breaking any sweeps or popularity records either.

Miley Cyrus is in Miami Beach with her mother Tish and her sister Noah and judging from this Twitter photo, she seems pleased with herself for many reasons. She’s never looked better, her new song We Can’t Stop is a genuine hit, and her peculiar video has topped Justin Bieber’s in number of views. Plus she still insists that she is engaged to Liam Hemsworth. When is he going to step up and verity that?
If Cher didn’t prove once and for all, to all you doubters that Tom Cruise is STRAIGHT- we give up trying! Cher does NOT lie! Back in the 80’s after Tom hit it big in “Risky Business,” he and Cher had a fling. (We’re not sure if he was a Scientologist yet) We happen to have written in Star magazine about an evening they spent necking on the couch at a party at Paul Newman’s house. They also went out in public together. Cher was 16 years older than Tom and they were definitely an odd but affectionate couple for a short time. Cher was crazy about Tom and he was flattered by her attention. Fact is, she wouldn’t have rhapsodized about Tom to Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live”, if it hadn’t been a genuine hetero -romance. So there. (We’re guessing that wig had something to do with the eventual split)
Leave it to Mickey Rourke to come up with a fool-proof way to keep from losing his passport or credit cards no matter how hard he parties in the UK. He’s wearing a little purse around his neck. Mickey has been spending a lot of time clubbing in London before he starts filming The Expendables 3 with the same cast of old-timers. Above, he’s leaving the club DSTRKT and returning to his hotel.

What’s Up With Jared Leto?
He seems to be going to great extents to drum up publicity for his band 30 Seconds to Mars. Jared, 41, appeared on the recent issue of Candy magazine in the UK in full female drag. Candy is a publication devoted to “transversal style,” if you know what they mean. Jared’s favorite photographer Terry Richardson collaborated with him on the cover look. Coincidentally or not, a few months ago Jared finished filming “Dallas Buyers Club” in which he plays a transsexual and he lost 30 pounds to do it. He DOES have a pretty face, but it’s a shame to cover it up with lipstick.

When Charlie Sheen started unraveling again and insisted on firing his Anger Management costar Selma Blair, his producers had no choice but to release her. They still owe 50 more episodes to FX and would lose a lot of money if Charlie quit. But don’t feel sorry for Selma – she dodged a bullet. Selma will be paid for her entire contract and won’t have to put up with Charlie every day! Producers didn’t’ make a fuss about paying her in full because she knows SO much dirt on Charlie. So while everybody is walking on eggshells around the Anger Management set for fear of riling up Charlie, Selma is happily playing with her little boy Arthur in the park.

Borat started it all. Recently a casting call in LA was posted on the Actors Access website for young actresses to audition for a role in a feature film called “May The Best Man Win.” Dozens of earnest young women showed up for the audition and were horrified by what they were asked to do. Some of the women were asked to perform in blackface, and others, to impersonate Adolf Hitler and shout Nazi propaganda. It was a moral dilemma. What they didn’t realize is that it was a prank casting session inspired by Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat movie. One of the producers of Borat is involved. According to the LA Times, the girls were being pranked for the $800,000 low budget comedy “May The Best Man Win” about two guys who try to outdo each other with wild stunts. Hoping for a film role, the girls were disappointed, but many opted to sign a release for a $50 cash payment. Producers didn’t apologize – they said other pranks in the movie are MUCH worse.
