Elvis Presley

ELVIS PRESLEY: WE NEVER FORGOT THOSE WORDS

This week is the 40th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death and Graceland in Memphis is a mob scene as usual. It’s amazing how that hillbilly singer became a lifetime idol for so many. (We always loved his collar-up bad boy look from the 50’s) We did have one memorable but short personal encounter with Elvis. One day we were driving our sparkling turquoise blue convertible on Sunset Strip waiting patiently at a red light. A long black limo pulled up next to us and a guy in the passenger seat turned around and looked us right in the eye and said “Hiya, baby!” That crooked smile! It was ELVIS! We felt our body temperature immediately change and we absolutely froze. The light changed and the limo zoomed away before we could stammer a response! It was a little bit of heaven…

Debra Messing In Style Indulgence Party

DEBRA MESSING KNOWS A GOOD PARTY WHEN SHE SEES ONE

We happen to LOVE parties in stores because you can socialize, indulge, and shop at the same time! In Style magazine takes it a step further with their yearly Indulgence party for female celebrities only. It’s held at a rambling Brentwood home and every room is a gifting suite for designers clothing and cosmetic lines. This year luggage was offered to everyone to stuff with their acquisitions. Shopping without having to pay sounds like heaven, and it is. To keep up their strength the pampered celebs have top catering companies with tables of all kinds of amazing food, cocktails – and desserts galore. Poolside massages and spa treatments abound. And guests can gossip with all their friends throughout. Men were hired to carry all the ladies’ loot to their cars. No wonder the famous faces turn out by the dozen…..

Alana Stewart George Hamilton Stewarts & Hamiltons

GEORGE HAMILTON AND ALANA STEWART: HOLLYWOOD’S MOST SUCCESSFUL DIVORCE

They were divorced over 40 years ago, but George Hamilton and Alana Stewart are still the best of friends. (Above, at Craig’s for dinner) Two years ago they had their own reality show, Stewarts & Hamiltons, on E!, and for maybe the first time all their kids had paying jobs (Kimberly Stewart, Sean Stewart, Ashley Hamilton etc) Too bad, they couldn’t “keep up with the Kardashians” on the same network, and ratings were disappointing – the show was canceled after 8 episodes.

Cigarette Smoking Stephen Dorff

STEPHEN DORFF CAN’T SHAKE THE LUST FOR CIGARETTES

Look who’s walking out of Barneys in Beverly Hills- it’s Stephen Dorff, and he’s not exactly a regular shopper there. Fashion isn’t his thing – in fact we rarely see him in anything but white t-shirt and jeans. We’re betting he bought a nice gift for somebody. Dorff, 44, has been a slave to cigarettes for years – he chainsmoked two packs a day and admits he “smelled like an ashtray.” Not only did he do ads for electronic cigarettes, but last we heard, he still smokes the real thing. It was reported a few years ago that he was diagnosed with emphysema – not sure what happened with that.

Millie Bobby Brown Stranger things

“THINGS” ARE LOOKING UP FOR MILLIE BOBBY BROWN

Millie Bobby Brown is only 13 but she already has a unique style that is actually well suited to her Stranger Things out of this world character. She’s the breakout star of the series, now in its second season, and already has a SAG Award. Her family gambled their future to move to LA for Millie’s career but it paid off. British born Millie already has a starring role in the Godzilla Sequal and a stack of other offers.

ONE JENNIFER LOPEZ IS NOT ENOUGH

We still get a kick out of celebrities” lookalike stunt doubles and Jennifer Lopez has a cute one this season on the set of Shades of Blue. Her doubles only do the very rigorous action scenes and if the action is TOO violent they put a Jennifer wig on a slim guy. Wonder if the lookalike ever uses the resemblance to get into a club or something…

Hair! Paparazzi Rob Pattinson

ROBERT PATTINSON BETTER NOT LOSE HIS HAIR

Why? It’s his most redeeming feature. That gorgeous mane of hair enthralled countless fans for the four years of the Twilight series. But Robert Pattinson found out he doesn’t LIKE being popular. He loathed the press and paparazzi who documented his every move, and found himself hiding in car trunks and wearing disguises -all the while feeling terribly sorry for himself. To put it mildly, he didn’t enjoy his fame. Other young actors would have killed for Pattinson’s notoriety, but Rob hated every minute. Since Twilight he’s done a lot of unmemorable films and made himself less interesting to the press. We predict his career will last as long as that HAIR lasts, without an attitude change.

Feminist Lawsuit Taylor Swift

TAYLOR SWIFT DOES THE RIGHT THING- THE COURT ARTIST DOESN’T

This courtroom sketch of Taylor Swift is incredible in its awfulness, but we are SO proud of Taylor for taking the time to follow through on this lawsuit and reveal former radio host David Mueller for the smarmy lout that he is. Obviously he didn’t know WHO he was taking on here! He had the colossal nerve to sue Swift after she told his boss he groped her and the boss decided to fire him. Swift’s testimony in court has been confident, smart, and to the point. Mueller’s own actions caused his termination. His goose is justifiably cooked and we wonder if he still has that girlfriend in the photograph of the incident…

Liev Schreiber New York Ray Donovan

WHAT’S HOLLYWOOD FIXER RAY DONOVAN DOING IN NEW YORK?

Showtime likes Liev Schreiber so much that they moved his series from Los Angeles to New York after six successful seasons. Liev was miserable because he had so little time to spend with his children, who live in New York with their mother. He and his longtime partner Naomi Watts split up amicably last year after 11 years together. Naomi is currently dating Billy Crudup. Ray Donovan writers toiled to create a plausible reason for their main character to move to New York. We wonder how the rest of the cast and crew were affected by the move…

Baseball Chance King Larry King Shawn Southwick

LARRY KING’S SON CHANCE WAS DRAFTED BY THE CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Larry King, 83, is super-proud of his son Chance, 20, who was recently drafted by the Chicago White Sox baseball team. 6’2” Chance towers over his father. (Larry’s younger son Cannon, 18, is also a baseball player.) Chance attended IMG Academy, a sport training prep school in Florida and swears he will go to college in spite of the draft. Chance’s mother is tall and beautiful Shawn Southwick – Larry’s eighth and current marriage. We suspect the boys inherited their athleticism from Shawn. Ironically, Shawn was accused of having an affair with her sons’ baseball coach seven years ago and she and Larry nearly divorced, but changed their minds. That guy must have been QUITE a coach, in more ways than one!
