ADAM SANDLER IS WEARING THE HUSKY GUY UNIFORM

Looks like Adam Sandler is turning to the Kevin Smith method for disguising weight. Director Smith is in the habit of wearing gigantic XXXXL t- shirts and super-wide mid calf pull-on “shorts” for all occasions. He’s always been overweight and last year he lost 85 pounds and nobody noticed because his boyish clothes were so big! His outfit has become the uniform for oversize “men” who want to disguise their heft and feel comfortable eating a lot. (The clothes never get tight!) Adam looks like he doesn’t want to face the fact that he’s packed on a few pounds – but who can tell in that outfit?

AMBER HEARD PLEADS GUILTY TO DOG SMUGGLING

It turned out to be a bigger deal than we realized when Amber Heard brought their two Yorkies, Pistol and Boo, along on a visit to Johnny Depp , while he was filming in Australia. Amber arrived on a private plane and no one was aware that the dogs were with her until the pups were brought to a salon for grooming. Their beauty visit got a lot of publicity and that’s how Amber got in trouble for smuggling them into the country and breaking quarantine laws. Amber and Johnny had to fly back this week and appear in court today where she pleaded guilty. Her sentence remains to be seen, but the famous pair looked quite confident.

KATY PERRY: WORST DRESSED AT COACHELLA – SO FAR

Blue skies and fluffy clouds are pleasant, but not necessarily flattering. Katy Perry’s cutout jumpsuit looks less like heaven, and more like something a Beverly Hills housewife would wear as a pool coverup in Miami. It’s just not cool or clever for Coachella. She’s a shapely girl, but this ill-chosen garment makes her look matronly. The Minnie Mouse hair makes up for a LOT, and the shoes are fun. Maybe it’s a good thing her boyfriend Orlando Bloom is not around today.

JADEN SMITH IS IN LOVE – AND NOT WITH HIMSELF!

Love is in the air at Coachella for Jaden Smith and Sarah Snyder

Apparently no matter WHERE Jaden Smith and his model girlfriend go, it turns into a smoochfest. They were kissing and cuddling in the front row of shows at Fashion Week, and they’re up to the same tricks at Coachella. Jaden, 17, appears to be madly in love and can’t keep his hands off Sarah Snyder, 21. Sarah can drink legally, but it will be years before Jaden can join her. Sarah loves quirky fashion and encourages Jaden to experiment – even with skirts. Last year Sarah was arrested when she was accused of stealing a $16,000 Birkin bag from a consignment shop, but she eventually proved herself innocent. They’ve been together for almost a year now.

KESHA PUMPED UP HER LIPS AND SKIPPED TOWN

She’s still smarting from losing her legal battle against Sony and her producer Dr Luke, so Kesha needed a way to cheer herself up. What did she do? Nope, she didn’t go on a drinking binge – she went on a Juvederm binge. More expensive than alcohol, but longer lasting. Perhaps her freshly inflated lips give her courage…

MICHAEL MADSEN JUST CAN’T SAY NO

Michael Madsen’s appearance in Thelma & Louise screamed THIS IS A BIG STAR IN THE MAKING. His appearance in Reservoir Dogs validated his tough guy appeal and potential. He always shines in Tarantino films, but he never got that SPECIAL role that would put him over the top. However, he IS an excellent example of a steadily “working actor” – he films from 12 to 15 movies a YEAR! Apparently he says YES to every offer! He does mostly straight to video cheezy horror and biker movies, but he’s one of the busiest actors around.

GAVIN ROSSDALE IS NOT AS BAD AS YOU THOUGHT

When is the last time you heard about a Hollywood divorce where the less wealthy partner did NOT demand half of the earnings of the more successful one? (Keep in mind it is the LAW in California that earnings are shared 50-50) Maybe…NEVER? We are shocked and filled with something like respect for Gavin Rossdale, who is not asking his very successful estranged wife Gwen Stefani for half her considerable income OR for child support. We say “something like respect “ because he WAS caught cheating. But he’s proven himself to be more than a simple cad – transgressions notwithstanding, he’s a gentleman with a sense of honor, rare these days. Now we know what Gwen saw in her English rock star. This will prove to be a smooth divorce – all the better for their 3 sons.

IS DREW BARRYMORE DELIBERATELY TRYING TO LOOK PREGNANT?

It may not be polite, but is very difficult NOT to speculate that Drew Barrymore, 41, might be pregnant with her third child when you look at this photo. She appears to be comfortable in a maternity frock that a woman might wear around the house. It’s especially interesting since Drew just filed for divorce from her husband of barely four years, Will Kopelman. AND she’s been complaining about a no-sex marriage for quite awhile. On the other hand, if Drew is NOT expecting, then it’s time for the cute and newly single actress to step up her game and get a makeover. Looking good is the best revenge.

LINDSAY LOHAN CREATED A NEW LIFE IN LONDON BUT WILL HER PAST COME BACK TO BITE HER?

Lindsay Lohan did the smartest thing a trainwreck can do – she moved to Europe where people were not as familiar with her exploits. The former child star had become a tabloid queen famous for hard partying, drug arrests, a string of DUI’S, and multiple rehab visits. She was considered unemployable by many, and her career was diminishing. Clever Lindsay, 29, moved to London and last summer she started dating a 22 year old Russian heir who was probably completely in the dark about her history. Her new live-in boyfriend, Egor Tarabasov, is educated, owns a real estate agency, and sometimes looks a little like Johnny Depp. Not a bad catch. Lindsay brought him home to New York to meet her family, but has SHE met HIS family? Lindsay denies she’s engaged, but looks like she wants to be. She’s even getting along with her estranged father Michael Lohan again.
Above, Lindsay and Egor went out in New York with her father and Michael looks like he’s perturbed with a door man.

ANIMAL LOVERS ALERT: DON’T MISS “THE JUNGLE BOOK”

The animals in Disney’s latest version of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book are as realistic as they are incredibly appealing. Especially the wolf pack. Kids will learn to appreciate and respect the computer generated jungle creatures (including armadillos) who all have their own amusing personalities. (And, of course, there are a few lessons to be learned.) The director, Jon Favreau, had a hard time finding the right boy to play Mowgli – he auditioned thousands of kids before he found New Yorker Neel Sethi and he’s absolutely perfect. The only drawback to this exquisite film is the violence. It’s a shame to see kids get accustomed to and NEED violence to hold their attention. Sensitive children under 10 might get quite upset. Sometimes we long for the old Disney films that relied on stories rather than conflict. But overall, this movie is a delicious experience.
