Astroworld Dior Kylie Jenner Travis Scott

TRAVIS SCOTT’S PERFECT WORLD IS FALLING APART

Just when it seemed that Travis Scott was successfully following in the Kardashian entrepreneurial footsteps, Astroworld happened. The November concert tragedy left ten people dead and hundreds injured while rapper Travis Scott and the band played on. Even the Kardashians (his girlfriend is Kylie) can’t help him now – cancel culture has begun. The much-feared cancel culture has expanded from mainly sexual abuse to bad behavior of all kinds. Dior “indefinitely postponed” their Cactus Jack Dior line of products in partnership with Scott that was set to be launched next month. Nike nixed a sneaker collaboration with Scott and Anheuser-Busch discontinued their Cacti hard seltzer deal with Scott. Will McDonald’s be next? Travis is currently busy juggling dozens of Astroworld lawsuits- and probably begging Kris Jenner for advice…

Aspen Kevin Hart Kids Skiing

KEVIN HART PASSES FOR EXPERT ON THE SKI SLOPES

Who is the LAST person you’d expect to find skiing in Aspen over the holidays? We have to go with Kevin Hart. We can imagine him making a movie there and getting into all kinds of trouble on the slopes, but he surprised us by spending the holidays there with his four kids and his wife Eniko. We saw photos of Kevin riding the ski lift and watching his kids take skiing lessons, but we haven’t seen him actually ski, so we can’t judge his skill level. He’s nattily dressed for the occasion, however in a $2000 Moncler puffy jacket.

Aaron Sorkin Being the Ricardos I Love Lucy

THANKS TO AARON SORKIN, WE NO LONGER LOVE LUCY

Finally got around to seeing Being the Ricardos and now we understand why the reviews are so varied. It’s all the fault of writer/director Aaron Sorkin. There’s no doubt he’s an intelligent and skillful writer, BUT he lacks empathy, and like most male writers, should NOT be writing female characters. His female characters behave and speak just like men and other women cannot identify with them. Nicole Kidman’s Lucy was impossible to even LIKE, much less love. (Was anybody else bothered by Lucy using the F word so frequently? in 1952, yet!) The film revealed NOTHING about her personality or private life that would make viewers connect with her. The actors in the film did a valiant job, especially with the lines they were given. Sorkin also jammed too many storylines and incidents into “one week” of Lucy and Desi’s life.The film not only made us not love Lucy but it made us wonder if Lucie Arnaz, who approved this film, suffered during her childhood and wanted to punish her mother with this…

Divorce Dr Dre NWA

DR DRE DOESN’T KNOW HOW LUCKY HE IS

We’ve always marveled at the fact that Dr Dre evolved from gangsta rapper in NWA to clever and hugely successful businessman. He was as rough as they come, and considering all the accusations he had of abusing women, he would probably be in #MeToo prison by now if he hadn’t gotten married to Nicole Young in 1996. We can never forgive him for horrifically assaulting a female TV host (and bragging about it) in 1991 because he didn’t like something she said on her show. Dre could NOT have been easy to live with. Young filed for divorce in June 2020 and the battle for his money began. Lucky for Dre, he was smart enough to get a prenup and they just settled- Nicole gets a flat 100 million dollars and that leaves Dre with around 720 million. She worked hard for that money…

Daughter Kids Ricky Martin

RICKY MARTIN IS NOW THE FATHER OF FOUR

We didn’t realize how much Ricky Martin loves kids! We remember thinking “how nice” around 13 years ago when Ricky became the father of twins (Matteo and Valentino) via surrogate. He seemed to put his booming career on the back burner and spent most of his time raising the boys. In 2018 Ricky married his painter boyfriend Jwan Yosef and they’ve all been living together happily ever since. We did not realize that Ricky and Jwan quietly added two more kids to their family – three year old Lucia (above) and two year old Renn. Ricky calls Lucia “daddy’s little girl” and they celebrated both of their birthdays on December 24th.

House Kanye West Kim Kardashian

HOW DOES KIM KARDASHIAN FEEL ABOUT KANYE LIVING ACROSS THE STREET?

It works for Adele. She bought a house across the street from her lavish Hidden Valley home specifically for her ex-husband Simon Konecki to occupy, so he will be close to their son Angelo, 9. It helps that Adele and Simon are still good friends. We wonder if Kim Kardashian KNEW beforehand that HER ex Kanye West planned to buy a home across from the mansion they once shared in Hidden Hills. He was SO determined to get the house that he paid far over the asking price. Keep in mind, Kanye’s Malibu home is only 30 minutes away. If Kim DIDN’T know about the purchase in advance, she must be freaked out, thinking “was this fueled by good intentions or STALKING?” Will Kanye document her comings and goings and with whom? If she DID consult with Kanye before the purchase, we underestimated Kim’s desire for coparenting and her comfort level with Kanye.

Children Jim Carrey

JIM CARREY BEFORE WE KNEW HIM

The look on this kid’s face is unmistakably familiar. It was taken back in the early 60’s when Jim Carrey was just starting to develop his personality. There was no way he was not destined to become someone special. Little Jim’s charisma was most likely a source of huge amusement to his parents but he probably always kept them a bit worried. Not many children have crazy little faces at his age…

Dog Selma Blair

SELMA BLAIR IS BACK IN CIRCULATION

Selma Blair is enjoying getting out of the house more often with her new best friend, her service dog Scout. The pair recently finished months of training and now Selma, who’s dealing with MS, doesn’t have to depend on a friend or a boyfriend to keep her company. Her last boyfriend was writer Ron Carlson, but they haven’t been seen together for awhile, although the couple has an off-again on-again history. Selma is enjoying her independence with Scout by shopping the sales in Beverly Hills and she looks great in her Thom Browne sweater.

Balenciaga Cardi B Offset

CARDI B CAN EXPECT SOME BALENCIAGA UNDER THE TREE THIS YEAR

Didn’t take Offset long to hop over to Balenciaga in Beverly Hills after he got that 2 million dollar check from Cardi B for his birthday this week. We’re pretty sure he’ll be picking out some stuff for Cardi, but he did spend a lot of time in the men’s department …that fluffy white hoody he’s wearing with the built in glove/pockets is kinda cute…

Birthday Cardi B G-Eazy Height Offset

HOW TINY IS OFFSET?

Cardi B’s husband Offset made a big mistake posing for this photo with G-Eazy at his birthday bash because he looks SO short! Looks like they are both contemplating the dollar bill on the ground – who’s gonna pick it up? Offset claims to be 5’9 and G-Eazy is around 6’3”, in case you’re wondering. G-Eazy was a guest at Offset’s 30th birthday party at Sneakertopia (a pop-up Sneaker museum in LA) Cardi gave her hubby a 2 million dollar check for his birthday – does she assume he will spend it on HER?
