BRAD PITT AND CHARLIZE THERON HAVE PLENTY TO TALK ABOUT

Since Radar Online reported that Brad Pitt is “dating” Charlize Theron, we’ve been thinking about how plausible the rumor is. Brad has been trying hard to keep a low profile when it comes to seeing women. His brief encounter with that attractive MIT professor turned out to be a totally false alarm, and we assumed that when he DOES date, it’s not likely to be someone in show business. After all, his divorce is finally winding down and he’s making friends with his kids again. We’re not sure about romance, but Brad and Charlize DO have something in common to talk about – they both have gender-fluid kids.

Cher Concert Tour

CHER DOESN’T NEED TO TURN BACK TIME

The movie Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again came out at exactly the right time for Cher. Her Dancing Queen album followed, and this Spring, her concert tour, appropriately titled “Here We Go Again,” was a big hit in Australia and New Zealand with multiple performances added. She just started the North American leg of the tour in Florida and her opening act is the disco group Chic (Le Freak) with memories of Studio 54. When we saw Cher during her last tour, The Village People opened for her. By all accounts, Cher’s costume changes are numerous and outrageous – Las Vegas glitz all the way…

Helen Lasichanh Pharrell Williams Surgical Mask

HERE COMES PHARRELL WILLIAMS WITH THAT FACE-MASK AGAIN!

The first time we saw fashionable Pharrell Williams, 45, wearing a surgical mask in the airport, he said it was because he had just become the father of triplets and didn’t want to bring home any germs. Apparently it worked, because Pharrell STILL wears a mask when he flies, and also to crowded places like Disneyland. Not only is he germ-free, but fewer people recognize and approach him – in fact, sometimes strangers AVOID him, fearing that HE has the flu or a communicable disease! Above, Pharrell and his wife Helen Lasichanch are at the airport again – we predict that the Japanese influenced Pharrell will eventually come out with a designer face-mask collection.

Future Lookin' Good!

THE FUTURE IS LOOKIN’ GOOD

Future just looked so darn adorable in this photo that we just HAD to share it. Actually, this rapper is more than a pretty face – Future, 35, started out as a songwriter and producer in Atlanta before he hit the bigtime on his own. When we met him he was surprisingly friendly and talkative. On the downside, of course, he has six children with six different women. No doubt that child support keeps him working overtime…

Comic Fashion Sebastian Maniscalco Stand-up

SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO IS FULL OF SURPRISES

The first time we saw the very Italian comic Sebastian Maniscalco, we were dead certain that he was a native New Yorker. But it turns out he was actually born in Arlington Heights, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, very close to where we grew up. In 1998, he moved to Los Angeles and started appearing at The Comedy Store, while working his way up in the world of stand-up. He’s a little like Jerry Seinfeld in his funny observations, but he’s a lot more animated. Sebastian is in NY promoting his new Netflix special Stay Hungry, and we’re surprised to see him wearing head to toe MAUVE!

Kanye West Off-White Virgil Abloh

MAYBE KANYE WEST ISN’T THE CREATIVE GENIUS HE THINKS HE IS

We’ve been seeing a plethora of designer puffy jackets of all kinds this winter so we were a bit fascinated by Off-White’s puffy jumpsuit for men. Perfect for cold wet weather. Off-White’s designer is Virgil Abloh – he was Creative Director for Kanye West and actually designed Kanye’s clothing collections, despite the fact that Kanye declared HIMSELF “a creative genius.” Abloh moved on and recently became head of menswear at Louis Vuitton, and Kanye was NOT thrilled. Maybe that’s why Kanye has been concentrating on shoes instead of clothing lately…

KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR SAYS DON’T FEEL GUILTY ABOUT LOVING GREEN BOOK

We were extremely impressed with NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s essay about the movie Green Book in The Hollywood Reporter. He addressed the issue that during awards season, controversies “pop up” that could taint appreciation of a film. Family members questioned Green Book’s accuracy, and tasteless past behavior by the filmmakers suddenly came to light. Obviously Kareem felt Green Book IS significant and meaningful, and these problems simply aren’t all that important. He weighed every issue haunting this wonderful film and decided “unless it’s a documentary, filmmakers are history’s interpreters, not its chroniclers.” We suggest that you read the essay AND see the movie.

Barneys Hair! Jonah Hill Shopping

JONAH HILL LIKES TO EXPERIMENT WITH HIS LOOKS

Here’s a Hollywood moment. Jonah Hill is yakking up a storm, waiting for his car outside Barneys in Beverly Hills and he has a brand new hair color. Last week while he was in Cabo San Lucas with his sexy girlfriend, stylist Gianna Santos, he had green hair. This wavy blonde look is reminiscent of Jerry Lee Lewis. (Jonah lightened his beard also.) He’s carrying a man-purse or a small gym bag and a shopping bag from the store. The size of the bag indicates that it’s a gift for his girlfriend. He’s no fool.

Deborra-Lee Furness Hugh Jackman Manhattan Scooter

HERE’S A CELEBRITY WIFE WITH A SENSE OF ADVENTURE

How often do you see the wife of one of the most successful actors in Hollywood riding an electric scooter on a freezing cold day in New York? Deborra-Lee Furness is married to the very athletic Hugh Jackman, so we imagine she likes to keep up with him, activity-wise. Actress Deborra must be one of those very outdoorsy Australian women because she didn’t hesitate attach her phone for navigation and ride a scooter to her destination in Manhattan. (Of course she’s a mother of two and didn’t forget her safety helmet.)

Bruce Willis Glass James McAvoy M. Night Shyamalan Samuel L Jackson Sarah Paulson

GLASS COULD BE THE REASON FOR BRUCE WILLIS’S ODD BEHAVIOR

NOW we know why Bruce Willis has been looking a bit out-of-it lately. We just saw his new movie Glass, which Bruce and the other cast members have been promoting in Europe. We figure Bruce is just plain EMBARRASSED at what his career has become. We found M. Night Shyamalan’s new “thriller” shockingly awful with pretentious and nonsensical dialogue. How four decent actors were talked into filming this is a mystery – Sarah Paulson, James McAvoy, Samuel L Jackson and Bruce, must have been swept away by that Shyamalan mystique and lived to regret it.
