“ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US” IS BETTER THAN YOU THINK!

“One Direction: This Is Us” actually reveals only a small part of the lives of the boy band members and it’s the squeaky clean part. Not a four letter word is muttered and sexual references are absent from the movie – but hey, it was refreshing! It was a pleasant shock NOT to be assaulted by the F word and female fans in the movie are appreciated – not insulted and abused! The band’s creator Simon Cowell did something right here. It’s an uplifting and charming movie that kids of any age can enjoy and it makes all the boy band members appear to be grateful and decent. It may not be totally realistic, but that’s what’s appealing about it.

DAVID BECKHAM AND SONS CAN’T WAIT TO HIT THE SURF

The Beckhams are back in Malibu and David took the boys Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz to the beach with their boogie boards. (How BIG they’re getting!) Victoria was off somewhere taking a hike with little Harper. The kids are happy to be back so they can see the friends they went to school with while they lived in LA. They wish they could live here full time (can’t say that we blame them) The whole family enjoys all the athletic opportunities they have here.

KRIS HUMPHRIES HAS NOTHING BUT PITY FOR LAMAR ODOM

Kris Humphries, who was briefly married to Kim Kardashian, you will recall, has jumped on the “Lamar is being set up” bandwagon. Kris thinks a lot of negative and inaccurate drug speculation has been ‘leaked” by the Kardashians to websites and tabloids and it could ruin Lamar’s NBA career. (For example, Lamar was never really “missing” or suspected of being on a crack cocaine drug binge.) According to RadarOnline, Kris is not a friend of Lamar’s, but he remembers being targeted the same way and going through “tabloid hell” when he was divorcing Kim. Kris says “There should be a support group for former boyfriends and husbands of the Kardashians.”

LADY GAGA ACKNOWLEDGES HER MINIONS

Lady Gaga is featuring her “royal look” as she leaves her hotel in London and waves to her people. From the fitted suit to the heels and handbag, she seems to be dressing for the occasion. Then you get to the feathers and seashells and ribbons in her hair and it’s not so traditional. This summer, Gaga’s stylist of five years, the brilliant Nicola Formichetti quit, griping that “she changes 12 times a day!” They’re still friends but he moved on to work for Diesel and left his assistant to work for Gaga. So her look is evolving…

“DANCING WITH THE STARS” IS MAKING A COMEBACK WITH VALERIE HARPER AND LEAH REMINI!

Last season’s “Dancing With The Stars” was a huge snooze because the contestants were far from interesting and mostly unknown. But we’re geared up to watch the show this Fall because we’re excited about Valerie Harper and Leah Remini! We’re so happy that Valerie is feeling well enough to dance after her awful cancer diagnosis. She IS making the most of the rest of her life! And how interesting is it that Leah Remini is following in her FORMER friend Kirstie Alley’s foosteps and joining the competition! Wouldn’t it be great if they matched up Leah with Kirstie’s former partner Maks? We wouldn’t be surprised if Leah’s pal Jennifer Lopez gives her a few dancefloor tips.

JIMMY FALLON IS THRILLED TO BE A MR MOM

Five years of struggling and disappointment made Jimmy Fallon REALLY appreciate finally having a baby daughter. Jimmy, 38, and his wife Nancy Juvoven, 46, tried various doctors and treatments without success until they finally had a surrogate give birth to their child Winnie last month. Jimmy admits “I’m so happy, I’m freaking out!” He also finds it very difficult to be separated from little Winnie and is drawing up plans for a nursery at the studio where he tapes his talk show.

KRIS JENNER IS NOT ACCUSTOMED TO FAILURE

Much to Kris Jenner’s disappointment, her son in law Lamar Odom’s timely drug adventures did nothing to keep her talk show on the air. So many things have gone RIGHT for Kris for SO long, that she can hardly believe her show was not picked up. According to Radaronline, the bad news will be announced in a few days. Apparently Kris is just not the Kardashian that people want to look at every day. This is a horrible jolt for Kris, who demanded that Fox build her that fancy set duplicating her own home. We predict she will attempt to get a talk show on cable if all else fails.

DAVID BECKHAM: WHAT DO YOU GIVE THE MAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING?

Victoria Beckham admits it’s not easy to think up the perfect gift for her husband David, who turned 38 in May. Clever Victoria gave David something he can really use – a gift certificate for more tattoos from his favorite tattoo artist. David already has 32 tattoos but they’re not biker style – most of them are either religious or tributes to his love for family members. There are no ex-girlfriends represented in his skin art.

NOPE, IT’S NOT “THE GAY CABALLERO” – IT’S GARY COOPER!

How mesmerizing is this early photo of Gary Cooper from the 1930 movie “The Texan?” The lanky Montana born actor was done up to play the Hispanic leading character called Enrique who was described as “a terror to men and a torment to women.” We’re not accustomed to seeing Gary in eye makeup and tight pants, looking like a “Gay Caballero.” Stylists weren’t as sophisticated in those days….
