HELENA CHRISTENSEN’S CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK

Another model mother with a lookalike son! Elizabeth Hurley’s son Damien is a dead ringer for his mom and has her long hair. We posted a topless photo of him and Google Ads forced us to take it down. Apparently their robots mistook him for a female and thought the pic was too racy! Above, 90’s supermodel Helena Christensen posted this photo of her 21 year old lookalike son with Norman Reedus. Mingus DOES have his mom’s exotically attractive face in this photo (with photographer Cass Bird in the middle.) To no one’s surprise, Mingus Reedus is already a successful runway model himself.

BRADLEY COOPER MULTI-TASKING WHEN TIME PERMITS

Only during a pandemic could one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood walk down the street in New York, attempting to eat Chinese food while carrying his little girl, and NOT be noticed by passers-by. Bradley Cooper is thoroughly enjoying the anonymity provided by masks, as he proceeds to pick up his daughter Lea from pre-school. He also has a little more time on his hands- he finished filming his psychological thriller Nightmare Alley, but it won’t be released until December 2021. In April, he starts filming Maestro about the complicated and somewhat tragic marriage of composer Leonard Bernstein, and he will be swamped- directing, starring, producing – and he co-wrote it.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

This unlikely romance caught us by surprise and while their official spin is “opposites attract” – that couldn’t be further from the truth. These two lovebirds are more alike than meets the eye – topping their list of similarities: they’re bisexual! She likes girls AND guys and so does he. They have a unique arrangement – they’re both allowed to make passes at others as long as their indiscretions are with the SAME sex. She’s allowed to sleep with other girls, and he’s allowed to sleep with other men, but they’re not allowed to stray with members of the opposite sex. Odd, yes, but it seems to be a winning formula for them!

GUESS WHO!

BRAD PITT: IN NO HURRY TO ACT AGAIN

Brad Pitt obviously MEANT it when he said he would be doing fewer movies and concentrating on other things – like producing. He has a ton of movie and TV production projects, but only two movies in his future. One of them is Damien Chazelle’s Babylon, set in 1920’s Hollywood. Margot Robbie plays Clara Bow, and Tobey Maguire is set to play Irving Thalberg. Brad plays a character based on John Gilbert, who is trying to adjust as movies evolve from silent to sound. Brad obviously hasn’t started filming because his hair is long and pulled into a little pony tail. John Gilbert had slick Valentino hair. Above, Brad picked up some equipment in Beverly Hills and loaded it into his car.

GOLDEN GLOBES VIP GIFT BAGS: NOT SO FANCY THIS YEAR

Things will be different at the Golden Globes this year and that includes the legendary gifting suites. During the week before the event, VIP gifting suites are generally set up in various hotels near Beverly Hills. Nominees and celebrities involved in the award show are invited to claim gift bags full of products and gift certificates. The bags might contain tickets for a Hawaiian vacation, certificates for massages, rejuvenation procedures and botox treatments, skincare treatments, expensive perfume and wine, small kitchen appliances, designer leather goods and sunglasses, a cashmere throw, even cannabis products. But this year is not the same- VIP’s are invited to pull up in front of places like the Luxe Hotel on Sunset and someone wearing a mask and gloves will hand them a bag, but the gifts are not as extravagant – most likely popcorn, fancy masks, candy, cosmetic samples, kitchen tools, etc. Big companies that donate prefer a PERSONAL connection with the celebrities…maybe next year…

THE ONE ESSENTIAL ELEMENT FOR A FRASIER REBOOT(BESIDES KELSEY GRAMMER)

We actually LIKE the idea of a Frasier reboot! Keep in mind, Frasier was one of the most popular comedies of all time and won dozens of Emmys. The show ran on NBC for 11 seasons and wrapped in 2004. Kelsey Grammar, who played neurotic radio psychologist Frasier Crane, is THRILLED at the idea of bringing the show back. And it looks like his costars David Hyde Pierce (he played Frasier’s brother) Peri Gilpin (she played his radio show producer) and Jane Leeves, (she played the cute housekeeper) are thinking it over, but not yet signed on the dotted line. John Mahoney, who played Frasier’s dad, has passed away, as has Eddie the Jack Russsell Terrier. Hopefully a young relative of Eddie’s will assume the role. But most important – the brilliant WRITERS who made the show so special- will THEY return?

PARIS HILTON: HAPPY AT LAST?

Since her YOUNGER sister Nicky Hilton, 37, married James Rothschild in 2015, Paris Hilton, 40, has been obsessed with finding an impressive man herself. But how do you compete with a Rothschild worth $1.49 billion? Through the years, Paris has dated handsome actors, singers, and models, plus a couple of young European playboy heirs. (Did you know she dated Benji Madden in 2008?) She got engaged a few times, but tabloids believe she paid for her own expensive rings. What’s a girl to do? Paris finally settled on a family friend, Carter Reum, also 40, and he gave her a big ring. He’s educated and calls himself an entrepreneur, like Paris does, and his net worth is around 35 million. Not bad, but Paris is worth around 300 million. Carter loves publicity – he’s co-written books, appears as a guest commentator on TV, and seems to enjoy all the attention he gets with Paris. He’s a lucky guy.

GERARD DEPARDIEAU CAN DO NO WRONG?

Can’t say we’re the least bit surprised that Green Card star Gerard Depardieu, 72, has been charged with rape, but we ARE surprised that France seems to finally be taking the case seriously. It’s been bouncing around the courts since 2018, and it is, at long last, being investigated. France has NOT embraced the #MeToo movement – in fact it has been described as “paradise for sexual predators.” Depardieu is beloved in his home country despite his entitled behavior, alcohol consumption, road rage, and drunk driving. We believe that any man who would pull out a bottle and pee into it in full view of fellow passengers on a plane (because he was told the restrooms were unavailable while plane was taking off) would probably be egotistical enough to sexually assault a 22 year old actress and think nothing of it.

MEN IN SKIRTS ARE HERE TO STAY

Better get used to the idea of men in skirts, because a LOT of designers – even rather conservative ones- are showing them for Fall/Winter 2021 in London. Burberry is not known for flamboyant fashion and even THEY are promoting skirts – mostly pleated and layered – but definitely skirts. In winter, no less. They even featured skirts with athletic letter jackets like high school lettermen wear. The model in this photo looks reasonably macho with his layers and backpack, but those boots are a surprise – or are they tights…?

SAM WORTHINGTON : TAKING A BREAK FROM LOS ANGELES

We didn’t realize that Avatar star Sam Worthington (who looks better when he shaves) had such a pretty wife. She’s Lara Bingle, a model and TV presenter, (she and Sam are both Australian) – they got married in 2014 and have three sons. They sold their LA house and it appears they are moving back home to Australia, where Covid is less threatening now. Sam has theater work there and he is set to finish his Avatar sequels soon in New Zealand. The family of five spent a day in a park in Sydney.
