ANNETTE BENING CARRIES THE TORCH

Looks like Annette Bening, 65, has taken up where her husband Warren Beatty, 86, left off when it comes to political issues. (That’s Annette in the navy shirt at the strike) She’s the chair woman of the Entertainment Community Fund – they give financial help to out of work actors for rent, medical care, and food. And it looks like SAG/AFTRA members will be needing it if this strike continues. Warren could be staying out of sight because J Randy Taraborelli’s book on Jackie Kennedy was just released (“Jackie: Public, Private, Secret”) and it reveals that Jackie dated playboy Warren briefly and confided that she thought he he was no big deal in the bedroom. Yikes…

Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Annette Bening Warren Beatty

OLD AND NEW HOLLYWOOD COLLIDE AT MOTION PICTURE MUSEUM OPENING

We predict that someday the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures will give the Met Gala some serious competition- if one can judge by the opening night fundraising party. Old and new Hollywood turned up for this event last night, which has been a long time coming. (We regret that Debbie Reynolds didn’t live long enough to see her dream come true.) Lady Gaga sang jazzy old songs with a big band and made a point to chat with Cher. Of course Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson celebrated the opening, along with Katy Perry, Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, John Waters, and Issa Rae. We heard that Hollywood’s original playboy Warren Beatty and his wife Annette Bening got a lot of attention from the crowd. One of Warren’s exes, Diane Keaton, would have been there, but she was busy shooting a video with Justin Bieber!

WARREN AND ANNETTE ARE LOYAL TO THEIR OLD FRIENDS

We always love seeing Annette Bening and her husband Warren Beatty out together- who would have guessed their marriage would last 28 years? We remember Warren from the days when he never met an airline stewardess he didn’t like. (That was before they were called flight attendants.) Warren, 82, and Annette, 61, still look like they’re having fun. They have four kids aged from 19 to 28. The couple attended an event at Spago celebrating a book written by tainted Beverly Hills lawyer Bert Fields. Fields made a lot of money defending the Weinsteins and suing people who criticized Tom Cruise’s “religion” Scientology- he compared Scientology critics to Nazis. How times have changed…

Annette Bening Timothee Chalamet Warren Beatty

ANNETTE BENING AND WARREN BEATTY: THEY SAID IT WOULDN’T LAST!

When Annette Bening and Warren Beatty surprised everyone by getting married in 1992, HE was by far, the bigger star. After he became successful, Warren started taking his time about making movies – whether he starred or directed, so he wasn’t as prolific as Annette. She took some time off with her children, but basically made a LOT of impressive films. Nowadays, SHE seems to be the bigger star and she’s one of the lucky over 50 women in Hollywood who keeps getting offers. (Besides “Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool” in which she plays Gloria Grahame, Bening has three more movies in the works.) She and Warren appeared quite happy at The Moving Image Salute to Annette Bening this week in New York. Also at the event was Timothy Chalamet from “Call Me By Your Name” looking rather handsome.

Annette Bening Ella Beatty Rules Don't Apply Warren Beatty

WARREN BEATTY AND ANNETTE BENING’S YOUNGEST DAUGHTER

You don’t see a lot of photos of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening’s children, but their youngest girl Ella, 16, turned up at a screening of dad’s movie Rules Don’t Apply. Ella’s older brother Stephen, 24, is transgender and a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College. Stephen now lives in Iowa with his boyfriend Liam and not long ago announced that he wants to have children. To his credit, Warren has rolled with the punches and adores his kids and all their differences. Surprisingly, playboy Warren turned out to be an involved and devoted husband and dad.

20th Century Women Annette Bening Elle Fanning Greta Gerwig

ANNETTE BENING AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HER

Annette Bening must be the breadwinner in her family because we never see her husband Warren Beatty onscreen any more. She LOOKS like she’s ready to tune up a car or report for factory work in the overalls she’s wearing above. Actually she’s filming a new movie “20th Century Women” and it looks like a real winner. Mike Mills, who wrote and directed the sensitive and funny “Beginners” with Ewan McGregor, wrote and is directing this story about “women he knew growing up.” It’s the story of three diverse women exploring new freedoms and the beginning of the punk era in 1979 California, and it stars Annette, Greta Gerwig and Elle Fanning. We LOVE movies about women.

Annette Bening Stephen Beatty Transgender Warren Beatty

WARREN BEATTY AND ANNETTE BENING’S TRANSGENDER SON STEPHEN IS AN ACTIVIST

Warren Beatty and Annette Bening are still very quiet about their transgender child Stephen Ira, 21, (formerly Kathlyn) but Stephen himself is anything but quiet. He participated in a GLAAD video imploring New York City to provide better medical benefits for transgenders. (It’s hard to imagine that they DON’T) He’ the first one to speak in the PSA. Just goes to show, nobody’s happy with their health coverage these days but no one seems to have a solution, either.

Annette Bening Kathlyn Beatty Stephen Beatty Transgender Warren Beatty

FATHERHOOD HAS NOT BEEN EASY FOR WARREN BEATTY AND TRANSGENDER SON

Casanova Warren Beatty had to be dragged into marriage and fatherhood, but he never imagined it would become THIS complicated! The Enquirer revealed that Warren and Annette Bening’s outspoken daughter Kathlyn shocked them when she announced at the age of 14 that she wanted to become a male. Kathlyn, now enrolled at Sarah Lawrence College, changed her name to Stephen and began the transgender process by having her breasts removed. Annette finally convinced Warren to accept Stephen as he is. Imagine their astonishment when Stephen recently acquired a boyfriend and now has decided he wants to experience childbirth! As mixed up as Stephen might be, at least he’s still getting a good education. Can’t help but wonder what Stephen’s equally outspoken aunt Shirley MacLaine has to say about all this.

Annette Bening Warren Beatty

WARREN BEATTY’S TRANSGENDER SON HAS A BOYFRIEND

Just when Warren Beatty got a grip on accepting his transgender son, his child Kathlyn, now known as Stephen, has made some changes. Stephen had been craving complete sex change surgery but according to The Enquirer, he’s rethinking it. Now 20, he’s a student at Sarah Lawrence College and transgender activist, but in January he revealed that he has a boyfriend! More startling is the fact that he’s a bit more feminine looking and he even wore rhinestone heels to his boyfriend’s graduation! Warren’s head must be spinning, but Stephen seems happier and better adjusted so his parents are relieved. (Above, the Beatty family in 2007)

ANNETTE BENING AND WARREN BEATTY: RULES DON’T APPLY

Sometimes rules don’t apply to Hollywood stars. We’re talking about Annette Bening and Warren Beatty here. Last month they went to see their 17 year old son Ben perform in “South Pacific” at his exclusive private prep school. Refreshments were served at halftime in the lobby for the wealthy famous parents of these students. Signs and workers warned audience members that NO food was allowed in the auditorium. But Annette and Warren brought plates of snacks right to their seats where they munched unmolested. No one had the nerve to stop them. (Actually we’re happy to hear their marriage is OK.)
