THE BALLPLAYING THIEVES WHO DISGRACED UCLA BROUGHT OUT THE WORST IN OTHERS!

When we heard that three UCLA basketball players had been arrested in China for SHOPLIFTING, we were flabbergasted at how stupid the guys must be. And they’re IN COLLEGE! It turns out that security footage revealed the three guys- all around 19 or 20 – stole Louis Vuitton sunglasses (average price $700) and other stuff from three stores near their hotel. A big heist – and it was all found in their luggage. Stealing thousands of dollars of merchandise can get you ten years in prison in China. (Having owned a store, we have no sympathy for thieves.) Apparently President Trump helped get them released (and of course he wanted a pat on the back!) The father of one player was equally stupid when he said he doubted the president’s role in getting the players released and sniffed that shoplifting was “no big deal.” NO WONDER the kid is a thief – with a father like that! Of course, all this inspired our chatty president to reply “I should have left them in jail.” Maybe he should have.

Harper's Bazaar Rita Wilson

RITA WILSON: STRESS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT

You’ve gotta love Rita Wilson for being SO open about her breast cancer and, above, raising money for the cause. She was diagnosed in 2015 and had a double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery, and during the ordeal, she learned a LOT. She detailed her entire healing process in a story she wrote for Harper’s Bazaar, along with important info she picked up along the way – like anxiety has NOTHING to do with cancer, and how mindful meditation helped her state of mind. She even talked about bra shopping afterward – her intimate story will help many women get a grip on their disease and treatment.

Lookin' Good! Paula Abdul

PAULA ABDUL: FIT AS A FIDDLE AND READY FOR WHATEVER

What’s up with Paula Abdul? She has never looked better – but we rarely see her any more! Paula, 55, has a history of odd or extreme behavior. She has always complained about back injuries and other severe pain but swore she didn’t use drugs – as many observers suspected. But them she gave a magazine interview and admitted she used many painkillers and hinted she went to rehab. Later she denied the entire magazine story. Last we heard, her health had improved – and she looks it.

Pepsi Salted Caramel

TAKE THE PEPSI CHALLENGE

Soft drink sales have been steadily declining since SUGAR was declared man’s worst enemy. So what does Pepsi do to boost sales? They introduce HOLIDAY FLAVORS – first to appear in the US is the Salted Caramel concoction. Pepsi claims the drink has less sugar but they fail to say much about the extra syrupy flavoring. In one way we’re dying to try it – but we hope we don’t like it…

Engelbert Humperdinck Long Time No See

LONG TIME NO SEE: ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK

We remember when Engelbert Humperdinck was a fixture in Las Vegas, and now that he’s 81, the Release Me singer is still appearing there as well as touring all the time! Incredibly, he’s been married to his wife Patricia since 1964, but she can no longer go on the road with him because she has Alzheimer’s. Engelbert recently released a new album The Man I Want to Be – dedicated to his wife. Occasionally his 9 year old granddaughter from Nashville appears onstage with Engelbert, and he’s convinced she will someday be a huge pop star.

Hair! Mickey Rourke

MICKEY ROURKE CONTINUES TO EVOLVE

He’s no beauty, but Mickey Rourke remains one of the most intriguing actors around. He’s changed his looks more than any Hollywood actress we know, but he gets away with it. And his fashion choices are never boring. But one of Mickey’s longtime and BEST friends is a hair stylist – they see each other frequently. Why doesn’t Mickey’s stylist pal step in and help Mickey with his HAIR? He has an assortment of unnatural looking wigs that desperately need attention. Regardless, Mickey has several movies in the works – some horror, and even a romantic comedy.

Fashion Rita Ora

RITA ORA MADE THE BATHROBE SAFE AGAIN

It was inevitable. Actress Rita Ora doesn’t bother to leave home unless there’s a strong possibility of being photographed, and when she stepped out in Manhattan wearing pajamas, the paparazzi ate it up. So she took it a step further and walked the red carpet at the MTV European Movie Awards in a terrycloth bathrobe and a towel wrapped on her head. You might call it the “morning after” look – it’s from designer Palomo Spain’s gender neutral collection. Oh, and Rita accessorized her robe with eight million dollars worth of jewelry…

Taraji P Henson What Men Want

TARAJI P HENSON KNOWS WHAT MEN WANT

Hidden Figures star Taraji P Henson has impeccable timing – she’s producing her own next movie and it’s a remake of the 2000 Nancy Meyers comedy What Women Want, that starred Mel Gibson as an obnoxious, entitled guy who could read women’s minds and took full advantage. In the new version, What Men Want, Taraji will play a female sports agent struggling in a man’s world. When she gets the power to read men’s thoughts she easily manages to sign the next NBA superstar and outsmarts the men. What could be more timely in this tumultuous new era of females finally speaking out?

Drugs Kirstie Alley Twitter

LOOK WHO’S TALKING: KIRSTIE ALLEY SAYS PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS CAUSED VEGAS MASSACRE

If only Kirstie Alley would wise up about Scientology like Leah Remini did. We really want to like Kirstie. The Scream Queens actress certainly didn’t make any friends when she started tweeting after the Las Vegas massacre that psychiatric drugs – not necessarily guns – caused the whole thing to happen. She pointed out that violence and suicide are common side effects of anti-anxiety drugs. Of course Scientologists have an inexplicable hatred of psychiatrists and the drugs they prescribe, and blame them for many of the world’s problems. Sadly, Kirstie’s tweets reveal that she is still a slave to Scientology and might never change. She did get a powerful backlash to her remarks and dropped the subject for now.

Blondie Debbie Harry Tour

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BLONDIE STILL RULES

After all these years, Debbie Harry is not only instantly recognizable but touring in the UK with sold out concerts. During her shows she always brings up her current obsession: bees. She’s concerned about the environment and the dying bee population. Her latest album is appropriately titled “Pollinator.” She and guitarist Chris Stein are still best friends through thick and thin, but not longer romantic. They’ve been touring together as Blondie since they reunited twenty years ago. Debbie says if she decides to retire she’ll can sell the portrait that Andy Warhol did of her and never worry about money again.
