Activism Paris Jackson

PARIS JACKSON HAS GOOD INTENTIONS

Paris Jackson,19, is in New York pursuing her acting and modeling career with determination. She says she used to be very shy and avoided the limelight but not long ago realized she was lucky to be born into a position of influence. She aspires to become a social activist and use her leverage to promote her causes. Paris doesn’t want to sing but already writes music. Guess who she dreams of writing a song for – Paul McCartney, of all people…

Bad Fashion Environmentalist! Leonardo DiCaprio

LEONARDO DICAPRIO: “CARELESSLY MASCULINE” OR COMMON SLOB?

He may LOOK like just another dopey guy on the street with his cargo shorts and baseball cap, but in spite of the PLASTIC bag tied to his sagging pants, Leonardo DiCaprio, 42, does more than just talk about saving the environment. With partners, he bought a 104 acre island off Belize that has been depleted of plants and fish. The investors plan to restore and replant the island and build a lush but environmentally friendly and sustainable resort there. They hope it will become a showcase and model for the future. It’s an expensive proposition, but Leo and friends aim to open the resort next year.

Meghan Markle Prince Harry

IS PRINCE HARRY GOOD ENOUGH FOR MEGHAN MARKLE?

If Prince Harry proposes, should Suits actress Meghan Markle say yes? She’d have to give up her life as a private citizen – she already has a bodyguard with her at all times on the Suits set, and she didn’t before. Meghan is undeniably a great catch – not only is she very attractive, but she’s well educated, (two degrees from Northwestern University) she’s a noted and active socially conscious feminist, and by all accounts, a decent and companionable person. Should she give up her comfortable world for the heavily scrutinized life of a “Royal?” Wouldn’t it be a surprise if she turned Harry DOWN?

Donatella Versace Gianni Versace

DONATELLA VERSACE’S LIFE IS BETTER THAN A SOAP OPERA

We felt it was only fair to publish this cute photo of Donatella Versace at JFK because we have published some not–so-hot pics of her in the past. We were wondering why Donatella dropped her brother Gianni’s name from the company. Some bad blood? It’s a convoluted story that many Italians believe is accurate – supposedly, openly gay Gianni wanted an heir and arranged to have Donatella marry model Paul Beck, whom Gianni was rumored to have more than a casual interest in himself. Donatella had a boy and a girl before she divorced Beck in 2000, and Gianni adored the daughter Allegra and took her everywhere. Gianni disapproved of his sister’s cocaine-feuled party lifestyle. When he died, he left 50% of his company to 11 year old Allegra, 20% to Donatella, and 30% to his brother. Donatella went to rehab and has run the company successfully ever since. Very wealthy Allegra, 31, is fighting anorexia and works as a stylist in New York. A VERY interesting family, indeed.

Luc Besson Rihanna Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

RIHANNA STOLE THE SHOW AT HER MOVIE PREMIER

Rihanna made yet another incredible entrance at the Hollywood premier of her sci-fi action film Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, directed by Luc Besson. Rihanna is gradually turning herself from pop star to actress and this movie is a big step for her. She plays a glamorous shape shifting alien working in an underground sex club where she performs in dozens of extravagant outfits. If this movie is anything like Busson’s The Fifth Element, we couldn’t be happier. Valerian has been called the “most expensive movie ever made in France.”

Channing Tatum Chippendales

CHANNING TATUM ISN’T THE ONLY STRIPPER/ACTOR IN HOLLYWOOD

We ran across this delightful photo of Chippendale’s dancers in the early 80’s at the Dangerous Minds website, and it reminded us that more than a few Hollywood men have graced those male stripper stages. (We frequented the West LA Chippendale’s back in the day because they were one of the few clubs open after hours until 4 AM.) The dancers were never really enticing –and this photo shows why. Of course, everyone knows Channing Tatum started out as a male stripper, but did you know that Chris Pratt and Mark Consuelos stripped onstage too? Also, Joey Lawrence, Ian Ziering, Mike “the situation” Sorrentino, and Tyson Beckford, too. Hopefully they had better haircuts than the guys above.

Engaged foot fetish Quentin Tarantino

QUENTIN TARANTINO FOUND THE FEET OF HIS DREAMS

Never-married director Quentin Tarantino, 54, just got ENGAGED a few days ago to Israeli singer Daniela Pick, 33. They’ve known each other for eight years, but Tarantino admitted he was too obsessed with making movies to even THINK about having a personal life. Coincidentally or not, he’s been talking about retiring from the film business (we presume after the Manson film.) Given Tarantino’s well-documented foot fetish, it’s interesting to note Daniela’s sexy feet and transparent heels….

Cindy Crawford Kaia Gerber

CINDY AND KAIA: TWO GENERATIONS OF EYE CANDY

Kaia Gerber, 15, seems to grow up a little more every time we see her – just cutting some bangs makes her appear to be almost legal. She COULD be a giant problem for her parents Cindy Crawford and Randy Gerber – certainly modeling opportunities might interfere with her education. And we can only imagine all the boys who have their eyes on her. Kaia and her mom dined at Nobu together and no doubt they turned heads of all ages…

EJ Johnson Fashion Magic Johnson

EJ JOHNSON WILL NEVER BE MISTAKEN FOR A HOUSEWIFE

Bristol Farms is the fanciest supermarket in Beverly Hills and it’s always loaded with celebrities. Sometimes it’s difficult to notice them, however, because the food is so amazing. Yesterday we were there to purchase some freshly carved turkey and we missed seeing EJ Johnson who shopped a few hours later. Now this is one celebrity NOBODY could overlook – thanks to EJ’s flamboyant apparel. We’re quite sure he livened the place up with his cut-off shorts and billowing sheer wrap. Losing weight really changed EVERYTHING for him.

Movies The Big Sick

“THE BIG SICK” WILL SURPRISE YOU IN A GOOD WAY

The mere IDEA of a romantic comedy makes us WINCE – picturing the same awkward silly scenes we’ve seen dozens of times with the likes of Katherine Heigl or Jennifer Aniston. For us, having not-so familiar actors like Kumail Nanjiani and Zoe Kazan makes a movie more relatable and believable. Experiencing the movie The Big Sick is like reading a very satisfying book – you love the characters and don’t want it to end. It’s smart, well-written, funny and serious- everything you hope for in a story.
