Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

MILLIE BOBBY BROWN IS GROWING UP FAST

At first glance, this attractive woman getting out of a car could almost be mistaken for Angeline, the blonde bombshell billboard queen of Los Angeles. They do have similarities – the flowing platinum blonde hair, the full lips, and of course,  the short skirt. But it is absolutely NOT Angeline- it happens to be – of all people- Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown. Millie says her recent photos have fans upset – they are saying she looks “too old.” At the age of 21,  they expect Millie to look like a college girl. Millie explains that she is “just growing up”  and apparently she has her own ideas about  how to do so…

WE TOLD YA SO!

Hours after we broke the story that Meghan Markle’s Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, was being renewed for a second season, the streaming powerhouse did just THAT.  See link below.  Once again we broke the big and somewhat unexpected (due to low ratings and so-so reviews) news before anyone else,  so continue reading this column for the biggest and best scoops first!  (And kudos to Meghan for aspiring to be the next Martha Stewart...)

GISELE BUNDCHEN WANTS HAPPY KIDS

She’s barely out of the delivery room,  but Gisele Bundchen is already planning to have another baby with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente! According to my source, Gisele saw how challenging it could be for her stepson, Jack , not to have a full sibling (he’s from Tom Brady’s relationship with Bridget Moynahan).  While Jack is close to Tom and Gisele’s two children, Gisele always felt bad that he didn’t have a close-in-age  brother or sister.  She’s hoping to have one more child with Joaquim while nature allows – so don’t be too surprised when it happens.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE JASON MOMOA

JasonAquamanMomoa has declared war on single use plastic water bottles and he’s doing something about it. Jason has partnered up with Boomerang (a re-use company)  and he’s rolling out a machine that can be installed at various sites (like hotels, schools, and public destinations.)  The machine provides re-usable aluminum bottles that can be refilled over and over with HIS water – bottles are returned to site after use.  He hopes to spare the environment thousands of unwanted plastic bottles. I will never forget the first time I saw Jason.  Back in the late 90’s I was browsing at the Pasadena flea market  and spotted a drop-dead gorgeous tall man. He was SO big I had to step BACK  to take in the entire view.  I immediately declared him the handsomest man I had ever seen.  Staggering! That was BEFORE beards ruined male faces.  I then noticed that he was shopping with Lisa Bonet and her mother, and to my delight, I realized who he was…

THIS IS WHAT 13 LOOKS LIKE – IF YOU’RE A BECKHAM

Harper Beckham is showing an awful  lot of glamour for a thirteen-year-old as she arrives at her mom Victoria Beckham’s fashion show in Paris with her father David. She’s obviously wearing one of her mother’s designs and the satin gown is AWFULLY  seductive.  (When I was 13 I had braces and weighed 85 pounds)  To her credit, Harper is not wearing fake eyelashes or heavy makeup  or stiletto heels – she looks quite natural and pretty. She and her brothers and their girlfriends all went to the show together…

THE DAY OSCAR WINNER MIKEY MADISON CAME TO MY HOUSE

 

Oh, and Quentin Tarantino and Margaret Qualley (among others) came along with Mikey Madison – they all worked together on Tarantino’s popular film Once Upon a Time …in Hollywood, which took place in the 1969.  That’s why W magazine chose my mid-century modern house five years ago for a photo layout depicting what would have happened to the characters if the film had ended differently. These are some of the photos published. Tarantino was the  DJ during the photoshoot – he loves oldies. Kurt Russell played a bartender in my tiki cabana.  Many of the film’s young stars have gone on to success – including Mikey. She credits her break  in Tarantino’s film for getting her that Best Actress Oscar last week.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

 

 

Donald Trump’s address to Congress was a big story this week, and it wasn’t so much what he said (a lot of bragging and no real solutions) but what his buddy Elon Musk wore!  We heard that it was Donald who INSISTED Elon wear a suit and tie to the important televised address.  While Trump is still in awe of the world’s sometimes richest man, he IS embarrassed by the way Elon dresses, and laid down the law that he had to dress appropriately for the event.

Meghan Markle made news when her six episode Netflix show, With Love, Meghan finally debuted on March 4.  Meghan delayed it because it was originally scheduled to begin airing during the devastating Los Angeles fires.  Here’s what we know.  Netflix hasn’t announced it yet, but it HAS green-lit season two, and this time it will have an 8 episode arc.  The  streaming network isn’t planning to make any announcements until this spring, but it’s a done deal so Meghan has the last laugh.

Blast from the past, Nadya Suleman AKA Octomom was back in the news thanks to her new biopic on Lifetime, I Was Octomom, which is premiering March 8.  We just heard that Nadya is in the final stages of signing a deal for a reality show on her life now raising the 8 teenagers (they’re 16-years-old.)  While she received numerous offers throughout the years for a reality show, she wanted to wait until her kids were old enough to make a decision as to whether they wanted to appear and now the consensus is they’re all for it!  Once the final deal is signed, the cameras should start rolling by the summer.

Justin Bieber made headlines – for not the best reasons.  First he appeared on social media in a video where he rapped about drugs and then photos of him looking gaunt and tired surfaced.  We just heard that Justin’s wife Hailey Bieber has asked family friend Kris Jenner to take on the role of mother figure and Kris has agreed to play a bigger part is Justin’s life.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner raised a few eyebrows this week when paparazzi photos of them hugging were released.  Here’s what we know.  Ben actually tried to rekindle things with his ex-wife when his marriage to Jennifer Lopez ended, but Jen G. quickly shot that down.  My source says that Jen will always love and care about Ben and do her best to co-parent with him, she has absolutely no intentions of ever getting back with him – and that has nothing to do with the state of her relationship with businessman John Miller.  Long story short, Jen loves Ben but just no longer in that way.

And while we already did our Oscar recap we couldn’t help but share this story. Although expected Best Actress winner Demi Moore didn’t take home the gold ( she lost to Mikey Madison) we just heard that days after the ceremony Demi sent flowers to ALL of the other acting nominees ( 19 of them ) congratulating them on their nominations and calling them all winners.  We heard that while Demi was disappointed she didn’t win, she wanted to end the entire experience on a positive note – which explains her considerate gesture.

ANOTHER KELCE WITH OPINIONS OF HIS OWN

He’s the shy one in the family, but now Ed Kelce is ready to come out of his shell and cash in on the action.  Ed, of course, is the dad of Jason and Travis Kelce, and his ex-wife Donna has become quite the celebrity over the past few years.  From made for TV movies, to commercials, Donna is bringing home the bacon thanks to her newfound fame.  Although he always preferred to stay out of the limelight, Ed has received some offers that are just TOO good to pass up, so don’t be shocked when you see him doing interviews or popping up alongside his famous sons in some upcoming advertisements.

ASAP ROCKY: FROM FELON TO VOGUE MODEL

Seems like only yesterday that ASAP Rocky was accused of gun-related crimes and photographed going in and out of a courtroom looking quite fashionable .  To his great relief, he was found not guilty and released to resume his life. Apparently someone at Vogue magazine appreciated Rocky’s courtroom fashion and when it was over, Vogue hired him for this fashion shoot in New York. Life goes on…

SARAH PAULSON: WAS IT WORTH IT?

Oscar fashion buzz is still not over.  We just saw her for the first time and vote Sarah Paulson as runner-up to Ariana Grande for the most difficult to manage dress at the award show. We would LOVE to have seen Sarah get out of her vehicle at the red carpet in this inflatable frock.  And of course we’d like to know how she managed to sit for three-plus hours in the audience with people all around her. Did Sarah sacrifice a good time for a highly photographable dress? This is definitely a problem that men don’t have…
