You know Jennifer Lopez is really getting into her role as a cop on the new series Shades of Blue when she cuts her hair and wears a tad less makeup. Jennifer’s acting roles have always featured her playing some sort of a glamorous creature. Filming the series in Brooklyn is not all she has on her plate – Jennifer has another year of American Idol and a Las Vegas residency, so Jen ALWAYS has something to fall back on…

Sofia Vergara, 43, and her fiancée Joe Manganiello, 38, grabbed quite a bit of attention just walking down the street in New York. And why not- they’re certainly one of best looking Hollywood couples of all time! Sofia says they contemplated eloping but her family made a huge fuss and INSISTED on a festive wedding. So she’s been planning the big event and is relieved that Joe just lets her do whatever she wants. He’s “easy going” – not to mention easy on the eyes.

It’s quite a mystery. Frances Cobain, 23, turned up at the HBO Emmy party last weekend in full goth drag – she executive produced the HBO documentary, Montage of Heck, about her father. A London paper has reported that she secretly married her boyfriend of five years, Isaiah Silva recently, and did not invite her mother Courtney Love to the small wedding. On the other hand, Frances has NOT been seen with Silva since January, so that’s strange. Even stranger, she was photographed on the street in Milan on Tuesday, and not with Isaiah. So what’s the deal, Frances?

Caitlyn Jenner is worried about her voice being too deep, but that’s not her only problem! She needs practice in the art of sitting and walking like a female. It’s not as easy as it looks! Her wide legged stance is definitely not feminine and if she SITS like that, she’s in real trouble! Above, she faces the challenge of walking down stairs in heels…

The fact that Sean Penn is suing Lee Daniels for ten million dollars for claiming he’s a wife beater is a FASCINATING turn of events. Daniels had offhandedly commented to The Hollywood Reporter that Empire star Terrence Howard’s record of violence against women was no worse than Marlon Brando’s or Sean Penn’s – in other words “no big deal.” We’re SHOCKED that Penn, who seemed to enjoy his bad boy rep, took offense. Penn claims that although he’s had problems with the law, he’s never been CONVICTED of domestic violence. We remember the violent episode many years ago that ended his marriage to Madonna. She told her close friends about it but never discussed it in public. Granted, the hot -tempered actor may not have been ARRESTED for domestic violence – but he knows in his heart he’s GUILTY. The women in question preferred to avoid public embarrassment by calling attention to his behavior. Or maybe they were AFRAID. It certainly would be interesting if Madonna were called to testify in this case – would she tell the truth?

SEAN PENN CLAIMS HE WAS NEVER VIOLENT WITH MADONNA
Ryan Reynolds claims he was devastated when a “lifelong friend” attempted to sell private photos of his baby to the tabloids. He described it as a “shocking betrayal” but we think he’s making a mountain out of a molehill and should not end the friendship. It’s only a PHOTO – his baby is not in danger. Why would Ryan rather have a strange photographer (possibly perched on a neighbor’s roof) get paid for the first baby photo than a FRIEND? Many thoughtful celebrities who have a not-so-wealthy relative or friend are kind enough to hand over the valuable baby photo and encourage them sell it! SOMEONE is going to make money with that picture – why not a friend? Give the guy a break.

Clifton’s legendary Cafeteria had its grand opening tonight (A fundraiser for the LA Conservancy) and if you loved eating at cafeterias when you were a kid, THIS is the place to be! Remember those turkey dinners with mashed potatoes and jello desserts? They are still there. Along with Waldorf salad and creamed cauliflower! All in potentially beautiful downtown Los Angeles. The new owner Andrew Meieran seems to feel the love for the old cafeteria also. Of course he’s adding a modern and pricier “comfort food’ restaurant upstairs and a tiki bar. But the lovable cafeteria retains much of its original charm – and cleaned up. We ran into midcentury historian Charles Phoenix there and he put his tray down to pose for a photo.
Maybe they don’t realize it, and maybe they do, but longtime friends Sofia Vergara and Lady Gaga seem to be trying to outdo each other in this Emmy photo. They both happened to be at the Fox Primetime Emmy Award party at Vibiana. The party was at the former Cathedral of Saint Vibiana – one of the oldest and most lavish downtown churches in LA. It’s now a party venue. In the above photo, Sofia is definitely the sexiest, but Gaga wins for best fashion. Sofia’s handsome fiancée Joe Manganiello was with her that night but Gaga’s equally delicious fiancée, Taylor Kinney, was nowhere in sight. (As usual, he doesn’t do many Hollywood events.)

Maybe he’s between movies because it looks like Mickey Rourke, 63, got Justin Bieber’s asymmetrical haircut. His movie Ashby is coming out this week, and it’s a comedy, of all things. Mickey plays a retired CIA assassin who befriends and becomes a mentor to a nerdy teenage boy who moves next door. Sarah Silverman plays the kid’s single mother. Ironically, Mickey even teaches the kid to box.

Finally, a romance born on Dancing with the Stars seems to be the real thing! For many seasons, the show drummed up fake romances for the contestants who danced with Derek Hough or Maxsim Chmerkovskiy for publicity reasons .(Imagine Kirstie Alley with Maksim!) Last year sparks DID fly between pro dancer Kym Johnson, 39. and her partner, Shark Tank billionaire Robert Herjavec, 52.The new season has started and they are STILL together, in case you were wondering. Kym is not dancing on the show this season – wonder why… (Above the couple was seen at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills)
