BILLY IDOL STILL HAS THAT WHIPLASH SMILE

Billy Idol left the black leather at home because he’s at LAX on his way to Las Vegas where he’s performing in residence at the House of Blues. How he survived the 80’s, we’ll never know. He must have overdosed (mostly in parking lots) half a dozen times and had AWFUL motorcycle accidents, (biking high is never a good idea) Once he nearly lost a leg. Billy wrote his autobiography a few years ago called “Dancing with Myself” and fans of that indulgent era might be advised to pick it up – it’s loaded with juicy stories.

Baseball Cap Ray Liotta Shades of Blue

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP FOR RAY LIOTTA

Ray Liotta, 61, must be feeling quite confident and secure since his series with Jennifer Lopez, Shades of Blue, turned out to be a surprise HIT. (He has high praise for Jennifer on Twitter.) Season 2 is currently filming and on his day off he browsed on Madison Avenue, wearing a Shades of Blue baseball cap. For some reason he decided to upgrade his headwear and ducked into the posh Loro Piana store. $400 later he walked out wearing a luxurious baseball cap made of waterproof, wind resistant cashmere. He tossed his old cap in the trash but we bet a store clerk snatched it out of the bin after he left the store.

Dancing With the Stars Ryan Lochte

RYAN LOCHTE HOPES TO DANCE HIS WAY BACK INTO OUR GOOD GRACES

The clear winner in the Ryan Lochte scandal is Dancing with the Stars. The ageing series has been losing viewers and attracting a lesser grade of “stars.” Ryan is sure to attract lots of viewers at least in the beginning. But appearing on the show IS a risk for the disgraced Olympian. If he’s a clumsy dancer and gets voted off early, it might add to the list of reasons not to like him. Even if he’s a skillful dancer, will viewers VOTE for him? Can he redeem himself? This makes for an interesting show…

Diana Ross Handicapped Parking

IS DIANA ROSS HANDICAPPED?

Apparently Diana Ross does much of her own food shopping because she’s frequently spotted at supermarkets. But this week she parked in a handicapped space outside Bristol Farms – with no placard in sight. She seemed to have no trouble loading her bags into the car so hopefully she’s not suffering from any afflictions. Keep in mind she often rides in a wheelchair at the airport and hops out and walks on her own once she reaches the terminal. Diana has sent much of this summer on a concert tour across the country.

Car Culture Cars Lady Gaga

LOOK WHO’S BEHIND THE WHEEL: LADY GAGA!

Now that she’s single, Lady Gaga seems to have more time on her hands, but she’s figured out what to do with it. She recently got her first driver’s license and she’s channeled her fashion obsession into cars! Instead of walking around in several outrageous outfits a day, she’s DRIVING different unusual cars. Sometimes several on ONE day! She prefers them flashy and/or vintage – and like her clothing, anything goes! We predict she will become as well-known for her cars as she is for her clothing. But can she top that MEAT DRESS with a vehicle?

Antibirth Chloe Sevigny Meg Tilly Natasha Lyonne

NATASHA LYONNE’S “ANTIBIRTH” SOUNDS LIKE A PUNK “ROSEMARY’S BABY”

This photo of pals Natasha Lyonne (Orange is the New Black) and Chloe Sevigny looking adorable at the premier was enough to get us interested in the movie they’re promoting: “Antibirth.” (Did you know that Chloe turned DOWN a role on “Orange” when it first started, and still “regrets it every day!”) Natasha is starring in AND producing this “punk horror film” that’s all about three flawed but strong women. They live in a shabby military town where drugs are rampant. One night the party girls overdo some hallucinatory drugs and Natasha wakes up pregnant in a very peculiar way. Meg Tilly (long time no see!) tries to help them out. What could be scarier than hallucinations and pregnancy? Sometimes low budget movies are the most fun…

College Education Nick Cannon

LET’S HEAR IT FOR NICK CANNON: A MAN WHO DOESN’T THINK HE KNOWS EVERYTHING!

Sororities at Howard University must be rolling out the red carpet to welcome a highly eligible freshman: Nick Cannon! He’s registered to start the fall semester in the Communications Department, but with his experience, couldn’t he be a TEACHER? When Nick,35, graduated from high school he immediately started working in show business and put off going to college. Lately he’s been getting philosophical about the importance of education and felt compelled to return to school. He still has TV jobs, but aspires to graduate in four years – if he doesn’t party too much. Nick has already set aside the fancy suits and bought himself a book bag.

Apology Bette Midler I Am Cait

BETTE MIDLER: TIME TO STOP THE INSANITY!

We just can’t let this incident with Better Midler pass. She happens to be funny and smart and enjoys tweeting her observations of humanity. Recently she mused “Now that ‘I Am Cait’ has been cancelled, will she go back to being Bruce?” She was bombarded by hate mail from supposedly OFFENDED readers (mostly millennials, we suspect.) What’s WRONG with you people? Are you just SCOURING the internet for reasons to be outraged? There is no bigger supporter of gay and LGBT rights than Better Midler. She was simply making fun of the LENGTHS people go to so they can appear on reality shows. She was forced to APOLOGIZE, but ended it with “I seem to have misread the temper of the times.” And we agree – we are sick and tired of all those humorless and hostile jerks who like to “take offense” for every little thing. Get a life!

Bobby Brown Book Tell Alls Whitney Houston

BOBBY BROWN IS SELLING HIS TELL-ALL BOOK WITH A SIDE OF BBQ SAUCE

Bobby Brown was at the Leimert Park Village Book Fair this weekend signing copies of his sexy tell-all “Every Little Step.” The book is so packed with sexual encounters that the Daily News suggested it should have been titled “Every Little Schtup!” After a sexcapade in a recording studio bathroom, Bobby declared that Madonna was “too wild for me!” In addition to his own affairs, Bobby wrote a lot about his ex-wife Whitney Houston’s drug use and flings with men AND women. Besides books, Bobby was also selling his own BBQ sauce and seasoning at the fair. Who knew he could cook?

Ben Foster Chris Pine Hell or High Water Movies

COME HELL OR HIGH WATER – DON’T MISS THIS MOVIE!

Hell or High Water is a classic American movie that we can all be proud of. It’s far better than we could have imagined. And this is coming from a WOMAN sick to death of all-male violent movies! But, good is good. How often do you find a brilliant and sensitive script combined with exquisite photography and perfectly cast actors? Who knew Star Trek robot Chris Pine was such a touching and appealing actor! He finally got the role that will change his career. His relationship with his bat-crazy brother, played skillfully by Ben Foster, is what life is all about. Even if this movie doesn’t appeal to you on paper – give it a chance. You won’t be sorry.
