It’s not often that a boyfriend takes such a liking to another man’s kids, but Gwen Stefani’s Blake Shelton is the exception. He spends long hours with Gwen at her kids’ basketball games, soccer games, and school activities and actually seems to enjoy their company. Even more surprising, the kids really like him!
Above, Gwen answers texts while Blake and Apollo chat at Zuma’s basketball game on Saturday.

It’s not about the hair- it’s about her FEET! Kristen Stewart, who always seems so disinterested in everything, surprised us by stepping up to the plate for women’s rights in Cannes! Back in 2015 women were appalled when they were BANNED from the red carpet for WEARING FLAT SHOES! The incident made the whole festival look archaic and insulting to women. This year Kristen tested the waters and went barefoot and carried her shoes on one carpet and last night she defiantly WORE FLAT SHOES. She said “If men don’t have to wear heels, why should WE? She wants equal rights. Nobody asked her to leave.

We have to hand it to German model Heidi Klum – she has a bunch of kids and several jobs, but she always finds time for romance. Seems like not long ago she and art dealer Vito Schnabel split after three years together. But in March she was spotted kissing musician Tom Kaulitz, 28, backstage at Project Runway. Tom and his flamboyant twin brother Bill Kaulitz are founding members of the popular band Tokio Hotel. No doubt Heidi, arguably the most famous model from Germany, is a trophy for Tom who recently divorced another model. Anyway, Tom is way more affectionate than Vito Schnabel ever was.

Here’s an unexpected skill. You may or may not be aware that Denzel Washington’s son John David Washington is the breakout star on Ballers – and he’s a former NFL player. Considering his background, we were flabbergasted to learn (via Hollywood Reporter) that John is a HUGE fan of Sex & the City. No kidding. In fact, he considers himself an expert on SATC trivia and can quote verbatim from all 94 episodes! He rewatches the series every year and his favorite characters are Charlotte and Samantha. How delicious is THAT!

La Toya Jackson surprised Cannes filmgoers by showing up for the premier of a South Korean dramatic movie in competition called Burning. She happily posed with people involved with the movie (she’s not) in a black leather gown (!) with a long train that needed constant adjustment. A woman followed her on the red carpet on her knees, spreading it out. We can’t help but notice that perhaps the skirt slit was too high for the petite La Toya because apparently the top five inches were hastily sewn together in an amateur manner. But she still manages to look quite pretty.

You’ll never see highly secretive Jamie Foxx talking about any of his ex or present girlfriends, including Katie Holmes, but he simply cannot hide his beautiful daughter Corinne Foxx, 22. Corinne is a model and actress with a college education from USC and beyond. Ever since she was a little girl she LOVED going to red carpet events with her dad and visiting him on the set. She’s done some work on TV, and now Jamie’s given her a part in his next movie All-Star Weekend.

We can’t take our eyes off this Michael Jackson impersonator, either. He appeared on the red carpet for the Solo: A Star Wars Story screening in Cannes and attracted a lot of attention. But can he sing and dance? We might never know because we couldn’t find out who he is, but we’d love to have him at our next party.

Audience members in Cannes walked out in droves muttering under their breath, during the screening of Matt Dillon’s new film by Lars Von Trier, The House That Jack Built. He plays a psychotic serial killer fond of torturing and slaughtering women, children, and a few men. The gruesome details repulsed some viewers but others clapped at the end. Women ARE justifiably turned off by films that “glamorize” and perhaps inspire, such behavior – real life is bad enough. This could push former teen heartthrob Matt’s career in a whole new direction. He’s 54 now and last we heard Matt had an Italian choreographer girlfriend, Roberta Mastromichele.
John Travolta and Kelly Preston are at Cannes presenting their Gotti movie and it looks like he’s changed his hair color. It’s hard to imagine Kelly playing Victoria Gotti, but if the film is at Cannes, it can’t be bad. John actually wears some of the Dapper Don’s clothing in the film and Pitbull provided the soundtrack. John’s been struggling with this movie for YEARS – directors and actors came and went – including Lindsay Lohan – so hopes for the movie weren’t particularly high. But Travolta never gave up – the movie was actually finished a few years ago, but John insisted on the right distributor and that took more time. Gotti opens June 15.

We have to give Alice Cooper’s wife Sheryl credit – she has put up with a lot during their 40 year marriage. Alice was a raging alcoholic until 1983 – he only got sober then because Sheryl threatened to divorce him. We remember when Alice used to shop in the rock n’roll clothing store we had on Sunset Strip in the 70’s. He’d pull up in a limo with an entourage – always carrying a beer in his hand. Alice was really friendly and likeable. We felt sorry for his long-suffering girlfriend, but he bought her some nice things. Alice met his wife when she danced in his Welcome to my Nightmare tour and they have one of the happier rock marriages – in spite of the fact that he never stops touring. For the past three years he’s been with The Hollywood Vampires featuring Johnny Depp and Joe Perry.
