WHO IS REALLY BEHIND THE “FREE BRITNEY” DEMONSTRATIONS?

These demonstrators made quite a scene outside the courtroom dealing with Britney Spears’ conservatorship hearing and it made us wonder: who is behind this? SOMEONE is motivated to organize these people (fans?) with their signs. The #FreeBritney movement has flourished, even though Britney has never complained about the conservatorship, and her life seems back on track. (The LA Times spent three months investigating her conservatorship, and could find NO evidence that she was being harmed.) The only person we know of who would love to see Britney free to choose her own associates is Sam Lufti, who probably still has a restraining order keeping him away. HE inserted himself into her life during Britney’s head-shaving meltdown days, and her family banned him from contacting her. So it may NOT be “concerned fans” behind this movement.

TYLER, THE CREATOR LOOKS DECEIVINGLY INNOCENT

We aren’t that familiar with Tyler The Creator’s work, but when we saw this photo of him performing in Brixton, it aroused our curiosity. It so happens he was born in Ladera Heights, California, and has quite a reputation. Theresa May banned him from the UK for a few years because she didn’t like some of his “terrorist” lyrics. Tyler has also been called out for his misogynistic lyrics (he seems to hate women) and rape and murder fantasies. You’d never guess it from the way he looks onstage here.

Hey, Big Spender Nicolas Cage Weston Cage Coppola

FATHER AND SON REUNION: NICOLAS CAGE AND WESTON COPPOLA CAGE

For whatever reason, a photo op with Nicolas Cage and his son Weston Coppola Cage is always a delight in some way. They turned up at the premier of Nic’s new film Running with the Devil. Weston seems to have given up that heavy metal goth music for acting and he’s always ready with a smile and a raised eyebrow. He couldn’t be more different from his idiosyncratic dad. Nicolas has been anointed the Most Infamous Hollywood Spender (topping even Johnny Depp) so that’s why he films five or six action movies in remote places every year – he still spends and owes a lot of money.

Kids Mariah Carey Nick Cannon

MARIAH CAREY AND NICK CANNON PARENT THEIR TWINS TOGETHER

Nice little outing for Mariah Carey and her twins (nicknames Roe and Roc) and their father Nick Cannon at Nobu in Malibu. As usual Mariah seemed overdressed – she wore a black cocktail dress and stiletto platforms while everyone else looked casual. Nick says he and Mariah want their kids to know they still care about each other and always will. He also says he wants to set a good example, but he has a two year old boy named Golden with his ex-girlfriend Brittany Bell.

YOU CAN’T FOOL WENDY WILLIAMS!

Love, love, love, Wendy Wlliams’ theory on what REALLY happened to Christie Brinkley and Dancing with the Stars. Wendy is convinced that Christie, 65, FAKED that shoulder injury that supposedly happened during practice last Thursday, just so her model daughter Sailor could take her place and dance on the show! Wendy has a good point: Sailor is 21 and not famous enough to be invited to do the show herself. Wendy thinks Christie agreed to appear and schemed ahead of time to have Sailor take her place! It’s great publicity for Sailor! What’s more, Wendy summed it up with a wink “You can LOOK like a teenager on the outside, but it’s all 65 on the inside!”
(It will be interesting to see if Sailor knows the dance routine perfectly on opening night Tuesday)

Kids Selma Blair

SELMA BLAIR HAS THE RIGHT ATTITUDE

Selma Blair turned up at the farmer’s market today looking a whole lot better. The last time we saw her she was having a lot of trouble walking and used a cane. At the end of July, Selma finished chemotherapy to treat her MS and it appears to be helping her movement. She lost hair so she shaved her head and joked about her resemblance to Pitbull. She remains in good spirits and her adorable son Arthur, who inherited mom’s good looks, keeps her on her toes.

GIVE “THE GOLDFINCH” A CHANCE

The Goldfinch was given negative reviews (mostly by jaded male critics, we presume) that drastically affected its boxoffice this weekend and we are here to defend this exquisite film. Sure, it’s a little too long, but the content more than makes up for it. Just take your time. This film builds very slowly and it sneaks up on the viewer – you find yourself identifying with the main character and literally feeling what he feels. It starts out a little sad and scary, but ends up filled with optimism. A very sensitive, fascinating and plausible story- altogether an satisfying experience. Give it a chance. We walked out feeling like we just read an excellent book…

Favorite Things New York Fashion Week Sandy Laing

OUR FAVORITE LOOK FROM NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

Here’s something we’ve never seen before (and when it comes to fashion, that’s unusual) and a designer we’re not familiar with – Sandy Liang showed her Summer 2020 collection and we fell in love with this photo. We’re not sure if the asymmetrical tulle ruffle is attached to the pants or the jacket, but we love the model and the entire look.

Felicity Huffman Luck Prison

FELICITY HUFFMAN WAS LUCKY TO GET PRISON TIME

Let’s face it, if Felicity Huffman had been given the probation she was hoping (and begging) for – her career would have been over. The act of paying to have her daughter’s SAT scores falsely raised made Felicity HATED by every person who ever studied like crazy to get college acceptable grades, or who struggled to pay for tuition and expenses. At least she owned up to her illicit act and apologized. But if she had NOT gotten at least SOME jail time, SO many people would resent her white privilege that she would be dead meat in Hollywood. Getting two weeks in women’s prison means she might be able to work again someday…

Cardi B Fashion Rihanna

ALL EYES ARE ON CARDI B – AS USUAL

Looks like Cardi B was DETERMINED to outdress Rihanna at Rihanna’s 5th Annual Diamond Ball and she does look spectacular. She’s got the edge because pink is more photogenic than Rihanna’s black gown. The fancy event raises money to support health and emergency service programs so it’s not ALL about competitive fashion. Rihanna has a lot to celebrate – her new lingerie line Savage X Fenty is the talk of the fashion world.
