Robin Thicke Weight

YOU’RE NOT FOOLING US, ROBIN THICKE!

It’s clear that Robin Thicke, 39, knows all the tricks to make a person look thinner than they are. The Blurred Lines singer has packed on a few pounds, so Robin grew a goatee to define his jawline. (It doesn’t really work but makes guys feel better.) Then he put on a heavy long overcoat (in LA!) plus a very big scarf. He dressed in black from head to toe – using the blue scarf for distraction. He also used his bikini model girlfriend April, 21, as a distraction, but paparazzi got a shot of him anyway as the couple left Catch LA restaurant..

Bobby Vee Thanks for the Memories

BOBBY VEE: THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

Love this photo of the late Bobby Vee and The Crickets – presumably taken after the death of Buddy Holly, whom Bobby idolized. Years ago we owned a vintage Scopitone (a video juke box) and we probably played Bobby’s song The Night Has a Thousand Eyes over a thousand times. The amateur video features girls in bikinis twisting frantically at a beach party. His song Come Back When You Grow Up Girl always makes us think of back when we were in 8th or 9th grade walking home from school. High school boys old enough to drive would pull over and toss a coin out the window saying “Here’s a dime – call me in two years!”
Here’s the Scopitone video:

Fashion Jessica Simpson

JESSICA SIMPSON WANTS TO BE NOTICED AND SHE GETS HER WISH

When is the last time you saw Jessica Simpson dressed like this in the daytime? NEVER!! She’s decked out for a visit to Barneys New York. Now that she’s a successful designer/businesswoman, Jessica wants to look like one. The only drawback to this attention-getting outfit is that it will be a challenge for her to be subtle while she examines Barneys fashions for inspiration for her collection of lower priced clothing. Those flare-bottom pants will not soon be forgotten. Nor will the patchwork fake fur chubby.

CATE BLANCHETT: LEADER OF THE OCEANS 8 RAT PACK?

We never paid much attention to George Clooney’s Oceans Eleven series of movies – just the same old stuff – self-indulgent and unoriginal. Now the same people are filming Oceans 8 with an all-female cast and we’re puzzled. It’s kinda sad that women have to remake roles written for men because there are so few original parts for women. Of course it’s better than NOTHING – but don’t blame the women if the worn-out casino heist concept seems tired. The cast is stellar- Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, Sarah Paulson, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, and Asian American rapper Awkwafina (Nora Lum.) That’s a powerful and varied group. Hopefully, the script was written by women. Cate Blanchett started filming scenes in New York and she looks formidable in her green velvet suit. The movie isn’t coming out until 2018, however.

Kate Hudson Worst Dressed

EVEN KATE HUDSON CAN MAKE GIGANTIC FASHION MISTAKES

Kate Hudson turned up at the GLSEN Respect Awards looking like THIS. Considering the fact that she has her own activewear clothing collection, you’d think Kate would give a liitle thought to her appearance. She’s awfully cute, and it’s not easy to make her look dowdy, but this glitzy jumpsuit makes her look a mile wider and a foot shorter. It’s a combination of several questionable trends..inexplicable.

Romain Dauriac Scarlett Johansson Yummy Pop

SCARLETT JOHANSSON MIGHT SURPRISE YOU AT YUMMY POP

We love the idea of walking into the Yummy Pop store in Paris and having Scarlett Johansson wait on us! She is, after all, co-owner of the gourmet popcorn shop with her French husband Romain Dauriac, and plans to help out occasionally. Romain’s sister will manage the place. Romain is a journalist who now manages a creative ad agency so we figure he knows how to promote the shop into a big business. The gourmet popcorn flavors include everything from Vermont Cheddar to truffle, Parmesan, and sage. (Above, at a pre-opening this weekend, Scarlett waited on customers with Romain watching over her shoulder.)

Elevator Shoes Tom Cruise

TOM CRUISE AND HIS MAGIC ELEVATOR SHOES

Whenever we see Tom Cruise, 54, on the red carpet with his leading ladies, our eyes immediately dart to his SHOES. We confess we are utterly fascinated with his custom-made elevator shoes that give him several extra inches of height. His brunette costar in Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, Cobie Smulders, is 5’8” and she’s wearing 4 inch heels. Note that she and 5’7” Tom are nearly the same height. Those must be some AMAZING shoes he has on!

(Above, Tom at the Berlin premier with Cobie and Danika Yarosh.)

"Dynasty" Joan Collins Lady Gaga

LADY GAGA IS ALEXIS CARRINGTON TODAY!

We have the feeling that Lady Gaga watched a lot of Dynasty while she was growing up. She walked out of her hotel this morning on her way to Good Morning America dressed like Joan Collins! Did Nolan Miller come back to life and design this power pink hat and coat? The coat draped on the shoulders is VERY Alexis Carrington, but Joan rarely showed that much leg…

Amal Clooney Dad Jeans George Clooney

AMAL CLOONEY MAKES HER HUSBAND LOOK DOWDY

Amal Clooney, who happens to be one of the most famous lawyers in the world, surprised her husband George Clooney with a visit on the set of his movie Suburbicon in LA. Amal looked fashionable in embroidered bell bottoms and a fringed leather handbag with her dog by her side. (And she didn’t forget doggie clean-up bags!) George was not so hot in a golf shirt and dad jeans. He grabbed her hand but didn’t put the phone down.

EJ Johnson Fashion

SEWAGE SMELL AT NIGHTINGALE CLUB OPENING HAD CELEBRITIES GAGGING AND RUNNING OUT

EJ Johnson’s outfit would really be sexy on a woman – it’s a sheer bodysuit with shoulderpads, leather fringe belt and high boots. EJ likes to dress in female attire and makeup but so far he has expressed no desire to BE a woman. Luckily his parents Magic and Cookie are always supportive. He’s dolled up for opening night of the posh new LA club Nightingale but the evening didn’t end well. Partiers fled the fancy club holding their noses long before the 4AM closing time. A sewer line broke and the stench was unbearable…
