Dogs Mickey Rourke Mulberry Street Pizzeria

MICKEY ROURKE LIKES HIS FRIENDS, BUT HE LOVES HIS DOGS

Mickey Rourke remains one of the most colorful actors around, so when we see him we love to share photos. Mickey had lunch at Mulberry Pizza in Beverly Hills with a bunch of friends who seem far more interested in their phones than the company. Despite his hair challenges and other eccentricities, we’re happy to see Mickey working steadily since his first film, Diner. He averages two or three movies a year (not exactly A-list) but he earns more than enough to keep his collection of dogs well fed. (Remember, in 2009 when Mickey accepted his Best Actor Golden Globe for The Wrestler, he thanked his dogs!)

Inflatable Kourtney Kardashian Pants

IS KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN WEARING INFLATABLE PANTS?

At first glance, we thought Kourtney Kardashian was wearing inflatable pants because they looked so round and puffy on her. A closer look revealed that Kourtney was actually wearing some expensive looking brown leather pants when she arrived at a party at The Nice Guy. An odd choice. Not only are they wide but they look stiff – like they could stand up by themselves. Certainly not flattering and decidedly HEAVY for a summer night…

Billy Idol Rolling Stones

BILLY IDOL: TIME IS ON HIS SIDE TOO

If you wanted to see celebrities on Thursday night you should have gone to the Rolling Stones concert at The Rose Bowl in Pasadena. It’s a gigantic stadium, but we’re sure the famous people were sitting in the best section, with VIP parking etc. Otherwise it could be a madhouse. Billy Idol is one of our favorite celebs to show up – and he still looks cool… Billy wasn’t dancing with himself, he was with his girlfriend China Chow.

Divorce Liam Hemsworth Miley Cyrus Split TBD

LIAM HEMSWORTH: WHAT HE DIDN’T KNOW

It’s evident that Liam Hemsworth was confused about WHEN he and Miley Cyrus actually split up. In other words – HE thought they had a big fight and Miley went somewhere to cool off. He was waiting for her to return when he was blindsided with photos of her smooching in Europe with Kaitlynn Carter. At first, he thought Miley was childishly acting up to punish him and she would come to her senses. But when Miley and Kaitlynn were described as “basically having sex” in an LA club he was humiliated and hurt. Only then did he realize that she MEANT the hurtful things she said before she left. When he filed for divorce the date of their split was TBD (to be determined) because Miley split long before Liam even realized it.

Isla Fisher Sacha Baron Cohen

ISLA FISHER IS FUNNY IN HER OWN WAY

Isla Fisher married Sacha Baron Cohen in 2010 and they have three children and seem quite happy in spite of his off-beat sense of humor. (Borat is the first comedy that made us laugh so hard we fell fall out of our theater seat.) Isla works steadily in Hollywood and Sacha has an interesting new role. He’s starring in Aaron Sorkin’s upcoming film The Trial of the Chicago 7. Sacha is playing Abbie Hoffman, Seth Rogan is Jerry Rubin, and Eddie Redmayne is Tom Hayden. It’s NOT a comedy.

Divorce Liam Hemsworth Miley Cyrus

LIAM HEMSWORTH CHOSE THE HIGH ROAD

Apparently the breaking point for Liam Hemsworth was when his wife Miley Cyrus was described as “basically having sex” at a Hollywood club with Kaitlynn Carter. Miley had been smooching in public with Kaitlynn on two continents, but this was the last straw. After all that public humiliation and complete disrespect, Liam never said a bad word about Miley, he simply filed for divorce like a gentleman, and wished her well. We have to admire him for his self-control. There is no doubt that Liam and Miley still have feelings for each other, but Miley has a lot of growing up to do, and they just might not be right for each other.

Rachel Brosnahan Special Effects The Marvelous Mrs Maisel

“MRS MAISEL” KNOWS HOW TO USE SPECIAL EFFECTS

SO happy to see that Rachel Brosnahan is in New York filming the next season of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. We are totally addicted to the look of this series. Not only are the late 1950’s fashions (and hairstyles) spectacular for all the characters, but the sets are mind-blowing. This season’s midcentury Catskill resort was perfection, but we fondly remember the first season when there were dazzling street scenes in New York’s garment district with every car, building, and garment true to the era. And racks and racks of fifties frocks were being rolled down the street just like the old days. These are the kind of turn-back-time special effects we appreciate – NOT explosions and car crashes…

American Express Debt Tori Spelling

HOW DID TORI SPELLING, OF ALL PEOPLE, BECOME A DEADBEAT?

This week Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth filmed a 90210 fashion show scene at Westfield Century City mall. Poor Tori. We had to laugh when Radaronline revealed that American Express is hot on her trail since they learned she is being paid $85,000 per episode for the 90210 reboot. AX has a judgment against Tori for $88,391.25 she owes them and they’ve ordered the sheriff’s office to enforce the judgment. Tori also owes a bundle to City National Bank. 90210 has been renewed for another season, so the cast will get a big salary boost. But the question is: how does a girl (Tori)) grow up in the most expensive house in Beverly Hills, and end up owing so many people money?

Beverly Johnson Brigitte Nielsen Flavor Flav

FLAVOR FLAV ‘S LOVE LIFE MIGHT SURPRISE YOU

Some people never change. Case in point: Flavor Flav, formerly of Public Enemy. We remember him best from the reality series The Surreal Life, where he developed some kind of romance with Brigitte Nielsen, who is 6 inches taller than he is. VH1 liked their odd relationship so much that Brigitte and Flav got their own reality show called Strange Love. What surprised us most about Flavor Flav is the fact that he actually used to date model Beverly Johnson back in 2000, and they actually LIVED together. And he didn’t look much different than he does above!

Dodi Fayed Elton John Paparazzi Prince Harry Princess Diana Private Jet

ELTON JOHN HAS CONVENIENT MEMORY LAPSES WHEN IT COMES TO PRINCESS DIANA

Gotta disagree with Elton John once again. Elton is irate because UK press pointed out that Prince Harry claims to care about the environment, yet he and Meghan and their baby flew on a private jet to visit Elton’s estate in France. Elton tweeted it was HIS idea to fly private, and blasted the press for disrupting the couple’s “safety and tranquility.” He went so far as to say “Prince Harry’s mother Diana was one of my closest friends and I feel obliged to protect Harry and his family from the unnecessary press intrusion that contributed to Diana’s death!“ Elton has conveniently forgotten that Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed were killed by their own drunk chauffeur who was speeding. The driver worked for Dodi Fayed’s family, and Dodi was famous for courting the press. He liked to tip them off as to where he and Diana would be. In fact, he was SO nice to reporters that he provided me, the gossip columnist for Star Magazine, an expensive lunch for two at the Ritz Hotel in Paris and a Ritz bathrobe to take home, among other gifts. Dodi Fayed’s father felt guilty and embarrassed that HIS drunk driver got Diana and his own son killed, and he dedicated his life to blaming paparazzi. So Elton, wise up!
