JENNIFER LOPEZ AND LEAH REMINI ARE READY FOR THEIR “SECOND ACT”

Longtime pals Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini are having a great time filming the romantic comedy Second Act together in Queens, New York. They play best friends working in a huge Costco type store who aspire to a better life. Jennifer’s character manages to use her street smarts when opportunity arises, and she reinvents herself, and turns their lives around. We love movies about women who succeed. We’re guessing the Scientologists are NOT happy that Leah Remini is doing so well…

MICK JAGGER: TIME IS ON HIS SIDE

You still get your money’s worth at a Rolling Stones concert. Seems like Mick Jagger, 74, is destined to outlive all of us. Retiring is out of the question and Jagger’s energy level is astonishing for a GREAT-grandfather! Mick’s current girlfriend is ballerina Melanie Hamrick, 30, and 8 months ago they had their first child together- a boy they named Deveraux. Mick’s 8th offspring – he can afford it.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO PRISON BREAK’S LANE GARRISON?

Texas born Lane Garrison, now 37, thought he had it MADE in Hollywood when he was cast as a regular on the Prison Break series in 2006. But after just one season, he was involved in a DUI and his passenger was killed. Ironically, he was convicted of vehicular manslaughter, served his time, and left prison in 2009. Life was grim for awhile and he struggled financially. But gradually he started to work again and has been cast in several films this year. He’s been filming in Alabama for a few months and he fell for a “down-home” local country girl. He just learned he’s about to become a father and he’s more than ready. Life goes on…

DID HEIDI KLUM SELL HER SOUL TO HARVEY WEINSTEIN?

Way up there on the list of women who AREN’T talking about Harvey Weinstein is Heidi Klum. Harvey Weinstein was the executive producer of her show Project Runway during its 16 successful seasons. Of course the show gave Harvey access to literally HUNDREDS of young and vulnerable models and opened doors to the entire fashion world. We can’t be sure that Heidi was forced to watch Weinstein take a shower or massage him, but we are CERTAIN she knew plenty about his revolting activities. She’s been DEAD QUIET about the subject, but finally when forced to speak about Harvey she didn’t condemn him, but vaguely remarked “We’d be naïve to think this behavior only happens in Hollywood.” Did Heidi cover up for Weinstein?

JON BON JOVI SCOURS BED, BATH, & BEYOND FOR A TEAPOT

Rock stars get overwhelmed in Bed, Bath, & Beyond too! Jon Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea have a list of necessities (including a teapot) and they’re on the hunt. Believe it or not, they are high school sweethearts who’ve been married for 28 years and have four kids. Unusual for a rocker. Dorothea, who runs their Soul Kitchen charities, says the fact that she always goes on tour with Jon has held the marriage together. We think the fact that they still SHOP together helps too .

BETSEY JOHNSON: HERE SHE COMES AGAIN!

You’ve gotta give Betsey Johnson credit – she always comes bouncing back. We remember her first efforts designing for New York’s Paraphernalia – her clothes were a revelation – cute and original – and affordable. She’s had a lot of ups and downs since then- designing for Alley Cat and her own collections. She’s gone bankrupt, had stores open and close, but young girls still love her playful vintage-inspired designs. (We fondly remember one of her fashion shows at New York’s Danceteria in the 80’s – the models were all doused with buckets of water and walked the runway dripping wet.) Betsey is showing her latest collection at Macy’s in Las Vegas – no water involved

TARA REID SAYS SHE’S JUST A NATURALLY THIN GIRL

Tara Reid, 41, often complains that she’s being bullied online for being too thin, but she gives them plenty of reason to comment. Her skinny figure only makes her implants look more gigantic. Tara’s extreme body is not affecting her acting career however – the Sharknado star has never been busier. She has 8 or 9 movies coming out this year – mostly low budget thrillers – but it’s steady money. Hence the $1000 shoes….

DITA VON TEESE IS A FIRST CLASS TRAVELER

Not many women can turn on the glam in a mere trench coat, but Dita Von Teese can. She’s probably the most famous burlesque dancer in the world, but also one of the Best Dressed. Dita loves exquisite designer and vintage fashion – she turned TWO of the bedrooms in her Los Feliz house (the one that stripping built) into closets. Besides dancing, she has multiple deals designing lingerie, clothing, etc. And she’s a self-made woman. This little blonde girl from a Michigan farm has come a long way…

CLAUDIA CARDINALE: LONG TIME NO SEE!


1960’s Italian bombshell Claudia Cardinale (“8 1/2”) was actually born in Tunisia and didn’t speak Italian (she spoke French) for her first dozen movies – her voice was always dubbed! But she was so gorgeous, nobody cared! They called her “Italy’s Sweetheart.” Eventually she came to Hollywood and made movies like “The Pink Panther,” but she felt more comfortable in Europe and moved back. Claudia has always been an activist for women’s rights. She’s 79 now, but happily surprised that she’s STILL working- in fact she did 3 films and appeared on a mini-series this year. In 2011, The LA Times named her one of the fifty most beautiful women in film history.

IS THIS WILLOW SMITH – OR MARGE SIMPSON?

She’s a 16 year old fashion icon and Willow Smith didn’t disappoint when she appeared at the TIDAL X charity concert in New York for “natural disaster” victims with her Marge Simpson hairdo. Willow burst onto the music scene in 2010 with her Whip My Hair song and she’s still in the music biz. Actually we expect her and her brother to eventually concentrate on fashion – they are both young, fearless, and very creative. We love that she has a funky one-of-a-kind image instead of the supersexy look that kids her age seem to favor.
