CHARLIE HUNNAM: CHIVALRY IS NOT DEAD

Charlie Hunnam, 36, is, indeed, a hot commodity, but some of his fans got totally out of control. At least they claimed to be his “fans.” A gaggle of immature female cyber bullies started harassing and insulting his girlfriend of 11 years, jewelry designer Morgana McNelis. The Sons of Anarchy star told them in no uncertain terms to back off and his nicer fans applauded his actions. Charlie and Morgana have been together since before he became a star and that’s one of the things he loves about her. Next year you can see him as King Arthur in Knights of the Roundtable. Above, the couple is trying not to be noticed in NYC.

YOU’D BE SMILING TOO IF YOU WERE SET TO INHERIT PRINCE’S 800 MILLION DOLLARS

Friends gathered at Paisley Park to mourn the loss of Prince today and among them was the woman most likely to become a multimillionaire: Prince’s only full sibling Tyka Nelson, 55. She’s had a hard life – besides being a crack addict, she supported her two sons, Sir and President (yes, you read right) with prostitution. Prince did not help her until a few years ago when she agreed to go to rehab, where she reformed and became religious. According to Minnesota law, Prince’s next of kin will inherit his millions, unless he specified otherwise in his will. Another possible recipient is the Jehovah’s Witness church.

DID PRINCE DIE LIKE ELVIS?

It had to be painkillers that took Prince from us too soon – but many questions are still unanswered. His Percocet overdose that caused his plane to land in Illinois for emergency treatment tells a lot of the story. But one wonders if Prince ever really HAD the double hip replacement he supposedly needed in 2009. His Jehovah’s Witness religion forbade the surgery, but did Prince do it anyway? He also had foot pain from wearing those high heels at all times – even when physically active. (Recently he’d been wearing high heel sneakers.) He was vocal about NOT doing drugs, but, like Elvis Presley, was he convinced that PRESCRIPTION drugs were okay? Prince and Elvis both lived in insulated worlds, convinced they had special needs others didn’t have, and therefore self-medicating was acceptable. Apparently Michael Jackson, Prince, and many others did NOT learn a lesson from Elvis’s death.

CHLOE MORETZ NEVER LEAVES TOWN WITHOUT HER BROTHER

Chloe Moretz, 18, is back in town and, as always, she is accompanied by her taller and older lookalike brother Trevor. 6’4” Trevor, is 29 and an actor himself, but he’s also Chloe’s acting coach and pretty much her bodyguard. Chloe started acting 12 years ago and she never travels alone. Last week Chloe and her mom had dinner with her supposed boyfriend Brooklyn Beckham, 17, and his parents Victoria and David at Soho house. Chloe and Brooklyn have been friends – and maybe more- for two years. Trevor seems to be available, however…

PRINCE WAS MORE THAN A DANDY AND A LADIES MAN

Prince never lost the magic. We were lucky to see him perform at Nell’s in New York in a private after hours show back in the early 90’s. Before that we had run into him at a Sunset Strip club and he was tiny and adorable with his giant bodyguards. We never saw him drink. Prince was a fashion entity. In the 80’s he wore pajamas with shoulder pads and high heel bedroom slippers. His style was original and captivating. He was also a magnet for women. The females in his life were all beauties – we were intrigued by his romance with Kim Basinger and the one-shoulder Oscar dress he designed for her. His playful, sexy music changed everything. He was one of a kind and we lost him way too soon.

ROSE MCGOWAN KNOWS WHAT SHE’S TALKING ABOUT

Nothing gets past our favorite feminist Rose McGowan. Just three of the 20 films selected for the Cannes Film Festival were directed by women. The festival director said “Don’t blame us “ – implying that the problem is rooted in Hollywood. But Rose isn’t letting them off the hook. She told The Hollywood Reporter “Those 17 who are not women should be forced to walk down the red carpet in high heels!” (Remember the appalling controversy last year in Cannes when women were not PERMITTED on the red carpet in flat shoes!) Rose says “There are so many levels of embedded misogyny that people don’t even realize. It starts with ‘You HAVE to wear high heels’ and goes to ‘We don’t accept you as a filmmaker.’” Hey Rose, when you’re RIGHT, you’re RIGHT…

ONE MARIAH CAREY IS NOT ENOUGH

Mariah Carey arrived in Paris looking super hot after her big birthday party at Lake Como in Italy. We were surprised to hear that she threw herself a birthday party almost a month after her birthday (March 27) and instructed all the guests to dress up “LIKE THEIR FAVORITE MARIAH.” Really? She invited friends, but mostly people from her ongoing European tour. It must have been quite a challenge to dress up like one of Mariah’s personas (we didn’t realize she HAD more than one.) Her hair and makeup staffers helped out – imagine dozens of male and female Mariah lookalikes running around! The mystery of the oddly frivolous party was solved when we learned that cameras were covering the event for Mariah’s documentary/TV series called “Mariah’s World.” Yep, she’s got a reality show too.

DE NIRO’S SEXY WIFE HAS EYES POPPING AT THE FILM FESTIVAL

Robert De Niro, Grace Hightower and Harvey Keitel attend the 11th Annual Chanel Tribeca Film Festival Artists Dinner at Balthazar restaurant in NYC

Harvey Keitel seems to be talking to his pal Robert De Niro, but we’re betting his eyes are glued to Grace Hightower’s excessive cleavage. The threesome were all at the exclusive Chanel sponsored Tribeca Film Festival dinner in NYC. DeNiro met Grace in 1987 when she was working at the Mr Chow restaurant in London. They married in 1997 and have two children. Grace considers herself to be an actress and singer, but is more active in New York charity work than anything else. She seems to be the lively one in this marriage.

VIVA LAS VEGAS ROCKABILLY WEEKEND IS THE ANTI-COACHELLA

Don’t tell me you missed another Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend! It was last weekend and the town was loaded with greasers and women with pompadors, tattoos, pinup girls, hot rods, achingly beautiful custom vintage cars, along with plenty of music and dancing. (Coincidentally or not, the same weekend as Coachella.) Dita Von Teese is a regular, and sometimes she brings one of HER vintage cars. (She usually manages to turn up at Coachella, also.) Our sartorially blessed friend Charles Phoenix entertains the crowd with his classic Vegas slideshows. Every year this event gets bigger and hotter.

CHARLIE SHEEN DIDN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW HE HAD SEX WITH MEN!

Charlie Sheen is far more disgusting than you ever imagined. And he totally DESERVES every bad thing that’s happened to him. Did you know he contracted HIV from a TRANSSEXUAL lover in 2011 and armed with that diagnosis, continued to have sex with as many men, women, and transsexuals he could get his hands on! And he NEVER revealed his illness! As people from his inner circle started talking, he THREATENED (Charlie has lots of guns) /or paid them off, handing out MILLIONS. Remember when he held a knife to his wife Brooke Mueller’s throat during that meltdown in Aspen? He did it because Brooke had filmed him having sex with a man she also slept with, and she threatened to release it if he didn’t give her more money. He didn’t want his fans to hear about the gay sex. Egomaniacal Charlie also took photos of Brooke’s crack pipes and drug paraphernalia to hold over HER head. Nice. Many people around Sheen seem to be as revolting as he is. He lied about everything. The editor of The National Enquirer revealed all this and MORE to The Hollywood Reporter this week. Read it – the truth IS almost too insane to believe!
