OVERSIZE IS JUST RIGHT FOR RIHANNA

In a trashy Kardashian world, it’s nice to see that SOMEBODY isn’t afraid of fashion with a sense of humor. Rihanna is fearless where other celebrities are cautious. She’s a great fashion icon for young girls to aspire to. She’s not aggressively sexy or obvious and usually looks comfortable in her choices. Somehow she manages to look like she doesn’t spend an inordinate amount of time putting herself together. She loves the idea of OVERSIZED jackets and wore this striped denim number with a cropped sweater, velvet pants and two-tone shoes to Tape nightclub in London..

“LES COWBOYS” WILL AMAZE YOU IN MANY WAYS

Les Cowboys is the kind of epic sweeping drama that Hollywood used to make fifty years ago, but has long since been replaced by special effects action movies. It is ASTONISHING. The opening scene was mind-boggling because it revealed a down-home cowboy get-together with country singing and two-step dancing – you’d think you were in Texas,the but this was actually the French countryside. There ARE French people who love American cowboy customs and music. (News to us!) The story does begin like the movie The Searchers with a missing 16 year old daughter and a father in hot pursuit. But this daughter has run off with her Arabic boyfriend to convert to Islam and start a new life. The search leads the father and his son through Europe and the Middle East with many incredible adventures and lessons in humanity. If you love engrossing stories and experiencing varied cultures- don’t miss this film. It is almost indescribably special – and unforgettable.

JACLYN SMITH: EVERYONE SHOULD LOOK THIS GOOD AT 70!

The Charlie’s Angels TV series debuted around 35 years ago but you’d never guess it by looking at this beautiful Angel. She’s inspiring! Jaclyn Smith continues to rake in the big bucks from her Kmart deal – her clothing, furniture, and household collections just get bigger and more popular. Apparently Jaclyn didn’t feel like cooking on this hot day so she picked up some food to go from Madeo.

STRANGER THAN FICTION: MILLION DOLLAR LISTING ALTMAN BROTHERS ACCUSE DERMATOLOGIST OF DEATH THREATS

Imagine our surprise when we learned that Million Dollar Listing realtors Josh Altman and his brother Matt found it necessary to get a RESTRAINING ORDER against well-known Los Angeles dermatologist Dr Alex Khadavi! Matt claimed that Alex approached him at a real estate event and made anti-Semitic death threats. Khadavi supposedly blurted that he hated all Jews and that he was going to kill Matt! We simply HAD to dig up the story BEHIND this confrontation! It seems that Matt and Alex have clashed before – over WOMEN! Yes, they have competed for the SAME women more than once! So there IS some bad blood. Alex says he innocently went to an open house with his decorator and when Matt and Josh saw him, they had him thrown out. Naturally he wasn’t happy. What makes this situation crazy is that it’s not commonly known, but the dangerous dermatologist Alex Khadavi is Jewish himself. Makes you WONDER….

WHAT’S GOING ON AT JENNIFER ANISTON’S HOUSE?

Howard Stern and his wife Beth were seen arriving at Jennifer Aniston’s house in New York and they were both carrying liquor – Beth had white wine and Howard had a bottle of Crystal Head vodka shaped like a skull. Looks like a casual party – but is it a special occasion of some kind? Jennifer and Justin Theroux don’t celebrate their first anniversary until August and they just returned from a vacation in the Bahamas. Jen and Justin seem extremely happy – and it helps that his career is flourishing. Besides another season of The Leftovers, Justin has a new movie, The Girl on the Train, coming out this year. But what’s the special occasion?

JENNIFER LOPEZ GETS THE JOB DONE

Hard work pays off. That old saying “The harder you work, the LUCKIER you get” holds true for Jennifer Lopez. Her TV series “Shades of Blue,” which Jennifer produces (it took several years to develop) and stars in, was a big hit last season and she’s busy filming new episodes. At the same time Jennifer has a successful stage show running in Las Vegas. She’s no slacker and certainly no diva – Jennifer works as hard as any man in show business. Above, she spent a few minutes between takes reviewing the script while she was filming on location in a backyard in Astoria, Queens.

HALLE BERRY AND CLIFF WATTS: BUSINESS OR PLEASURE?

35860-_My_love_Halle_has_a_fan_in_Cliff_Watts_who_called_shared_this_c-m-1_1466545450506

It’s been awhile since Halle Berry, 49, and Olivier Martinez split up and we haven’t seen her keeping company with any new men until now. Halle’s in New York and paparazzi surprised her leaving a restaurant (and holding hands) with photographer Cliff Watts. Watts is NOT a paparazzi – he shoots celebrities for magazines and directs commercials. He seems fond of Halle – he posted a photo of them together on Instagram. We’re not sure if the dinner was strictly business or more than that, so all we can do now is speculate.

LEONARDO DICAPRIO: HOW DOES THIS MAN ATTRACT SO MANY MODELS?

What IS it about Leonardo DiCaprio, 41, that makes him catnip for so many young women? Is it the romantic memory of Titanic? Is it his impressive string of movies with Martin Scorsese? He claims to be environmentally friendly, but that doesn’t stop him from flying in private planes. When he’s not making movies, he can usually be found in Europe lounging on gigantic yachts with a gaggle of models. He doesn’t exactly exude charm and wit with the press, but he MUST have some good lines to attract all those girls. Leo doesn’t seem to care what he LOOKS LIKE – he never cultivates a six -pack or wears cool clothes. (Plus he has a full head of hair but never takes off that baseball cap!) Leonardo’s considerable appeal continues to defy analysis…

Brad was the one who held the French flag when the race began. The 60 cars had to compete in pouring rain – racing fans Jason Statham and Jackie Chan were also present at the start. Brad just happens to look exceptionally good in this rainy day photo.

CHARLES PHOENIX MADE UNION STATION COOL FOR A NIGHT

As if the fabulous Union Station in downtown LA wasn’t fun ENOUGH, our friend, the colorful Charles Phoenix, made it a night to remember! Charles has become The Ambassador of Los Angeles – he loves everything about the city – past, present, and future – and he has the vintage slides to prove it! Charles took his standing room only audience on a historical visual tour of downtown –including Chinatown and Little Tokyo, Olvera Street, Clifton’s Cafeteria, and many places that just aren’t around any more. He drew a colorful and varied crowd – unlike the frazzled train passengers with luggage walking by. Of course Union Station is a gorgeous vintage building and worth a visit if you haven’t seen it. It’s in the process of revitalization and will soon have cool new places to eat, drink, and socialize.
