Angelina Jolie Divorce Humanitarian Reputation

ANGELINA JOLIE JUST WANTS TO BE APPRECIATED

Angelina Jolie is NOT happy that her reputation is suffering due to her prolonged and unpleasant divorce from Brad Pitt. She knows that her custody battle with Brad is making her look less sympathetic, and she feels compelled to stir up GOOD publicity for herself. When she’s not being photographed having fun with her children, she is busy promoting herself as a humanitarian. She made an appearance at a London film festival aiming to use the power of film to prevent sexual violence during conflict (in third world countries.) Makes us wonder: do these savage warriors go to the movies?

Charity Donna D'Errico Volunteer

DONNA D’ERRICO LOOKS TOO GOOD TO BE SLINGING HASH

Former Playboy Playmate and Baywatch swimsuit beauty, Donna D’Errico volunteered to serve food on Thanksgiving at the LA Mission in downtown LA. We have mixed feeling about celebrities who volunteer at the mission- do they just do it for the photo op and good publicity? Would they do it if there were NO paparazzi to document their generosity? Whatever – Donna is like J.Lo – she’s 50 and looks absolutely gorgeous!

Liev Schreiber Ray Donovan

LIEV SCHREIBER DOES HIS OWN HAULING

Liev Schreiber, who plays tough-guy Ray Donovan, apparently doesn’t have staffers to do schlepping for him. He walked from his building to his parking garage in New York with a wagon loaded with items he was taking somewhere for Thanksgiving. His cart was so full he had to stop and rearrange the bags when they fell. He pulled the cart into the garage to load up his car before taking off.

Bradley Cooper Irina Shayk Kids

BRADLEY COOPER WAS BORN TO BE A FATHER – IF NOT A HUSBAND…

Every time we see Bradley Cooper, Irina Shayk, and their little girl Lea, Bradley is carrying their daughter and looks way more content than Irina. Don’t know if the rumors are accurate – that the couple is having problems. Bradley doesn’t drink and is happy staying home when he’s not working, while Irina wants to go out and have fun. Maybe they don’t talk about marriage because they’re not absolutely certain it’s a great idea. But Bradley is just about the happiest father we’ve ever seen.

Colin Jost Scarlett Johansson SNL

SCARLETT JOHANSSON AND COLIN JOST: THE GENUINE SNL CELEBRITY COUPLE

While all eyes have been feasting on the aborted relationship of SNL doofus Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande, another SNL celebrity romance has flourished. It was a huge deal when SNL writer and Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost surprised everyone and started dating – of all people- Scarlett Johansson last year. They spent much of the summer together and are more inseparable than ever. Scarlett likes a smart funny guy (He’s a Harvard grad) and both grew up in New York so they have a lot in common. This is our new favorite couple…

Janet Charlton Jerry Lee Lewis Steve Bing

WHOLE LOTTA SHAKIN’ WITH JERRY LEE LEWIS

The LA Times just gave Jerry Lee Lewis a rave review for his weekend performance in Cerritos, and we are ASTONISHED by the fact that he’s still performing. He’s 83 now and has outlived and out-performed almost all of his 1950’s rock n’ roll contemporaries. (Little Richard is still around, but not performing) Jerry was an original Bad Boy – he married his 13 year old second cousin and two of his 8 wives died “under mysterious circumstances.” We were surprised to learn that billionaire playboy Steve Bing is Jerry’s biggest fan and has taken over his career. Jerry was mired in drugs, health problems, and IRS debts when Bing stepped in and cleaned up his life while producing his music. HE was at the Cerritos show, cheering Jerry on.

Note from Janet: Above, sometime in the 80’s I was able to visit Jerry in his dressing room after a show. He was a delightful but scary gentleman. Also in the small room were Lisa Marie Presley and Bob Dylan. Nobody realized I was a tabloid reporter.

Bad Manners Hands Off! Rita Ora

HOW NOT TO GET A CELEBRITY SELFIE WITH RITA ORA

Rita Ora walked out of a BBC Radio1 Studios in London in a glamorous but ridiculously skimpy outfit for a chilly evening. There was an enthusiastic crowd to greet her and one guy was hell-bent on getting a selfie with Rita. He rambunctiously reached out his big paw to stop her and came thisclose to grabbing her chest. Rita quickly reacted and managed to twist out of his way – but maybe she will re-think her wardrobe choices in the future. The handsy guy did NOT get that selfie.

Erykah Badu Fashion Rick Owens Soul Train Awards

ERYKAH BADU IS FEARLESS ON THE RED CARPET

The Soul Train Awards show is always a fashion extravaganza, and Erykah Badu took first place for most courageous look of the night. Erykah nabbed this outfit, head to toe, right off of Rick Owens’ runway. Questions abound: how DID she manage to move in the towering futuristic wire headpiece, and how DID she manage to speak with that harness hooked into her mouth? Few performers would even attempt this look and it’s appropriate that Erykah accepted the Legend Award at the event last night.
