NICOLAS CAGE DID IT AGAIN

Looking more like a harried dad than a movie star, (except for the jacket)  Nicolas Cage made a no-frills arrival at JFK last weekend with his fifth wife Riko Shibata, 27, and their baby daughter August. Nic told the LA Times “I know five (marriages) is a lot, but I think I got it right this time.” Cage has two sons, Kal-El, 16, and Weston, 31, from previous marriages. He met Riko while filming Prisoners of the Ghostland (?) in Japan. When the movie wrapped he went home to Las Vegas and missed her – so he proposed to her on Facetime. She said yes and the rest is history…

A BIG YEAR FOR JUSTIN AND HAILEY BIEBER

It’s hard to believe, but Justin Bieber is turning 30 next March and he’s hoping to become a father BEFORE it happens! Justin has just over 11 months to make his dream of fatherhood come true, so he and his wife Hailey are actively trying to start a family. An insider reveals that Hailey had a list of demands that Justin needed to meet before she’d even CONSIDER starting a family, and he’s met them! From attending regular therapy sessions, (both marital and individual) to maintaining a normal schedule and cutting back on touring, Justin has done what Hailey asked, and now they’re working on a baby.

NAOMI CAMPBELL AND HER MYSTERY BABY

We always thought that model Naomi Campbell, 51, was an odd (and pretentious) character, and this magazine cover backs that up. British Vogue featured Naomi on their March cover with her 9 month old baby girl that NOBODY knew about! Naomi’s close friends admit that they knew she WANTED a baby, but were gobsmacked when she suddenly appeared with her little girl. In her interview inside the magazine, Naomi coyly refused to discuss where the baby came from. (She never appeared to be pregnant) She insisted the baby was not adopted – “she’s MY child!” Naomi also refused to name the biological father. We’re thinking she used a surrogate- but why is she being so weird and evasive with Vogue?

CLOSE CALLS FOR KEVIN CONNOLLY

Kevin Connolly, 47, is no longer the Entourage playboy he was a few years ago. In fact, he’s had a few close calls recently. Last year in the midst of the MeToo frenzy, he was accused of sexually assaulting a costume designer named Gracie Cox at a wrap party in 2005. The assault was investigated and appeared to be true, and Kevin was very lucky because Cox never filed a police report or pursued it further. In June, Kevin and his girlfriend, Colombian actress Zulay Henao, 42, (age appropriate!) had a baby daughter named Kennedy. When she was just six weeks old, Kennedy contracted Covid after Kevin had it (he WAS vaccinated) and the parents were terrified. Fortunately, Kennedy recovered and the family turned up this weekend at a party at Holiday Road – its a Christmas village and light show in Calabasas.

AMBER HEARD GOT A BABY WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED “YOU DON’T NEED A RING TO HAVE A CRIB!”

Amber Heard’s experience being married to Johnny Depp (for just a year) may have REALLY turned her off trusting men. She’s been wanting a baby for awhile and was excited to welcome a baby by surrogate last month. It IS ironic that she was married to one of the best looking actors in Hollywood, but did NOT choose him to father her child! The scandalous divorce involved embarrassing lawsuits for both Johnny and Amber, and since the split she has been keeping company with women. She announced the birth on Instagram, saying this is the beginning of the rest of her life. Too bad- she saddled the baby girl with the name Oonagh Paige Heard…

USHER IS NEVER ALONE

Usher is a one-woman man, at least one woman at a time. His relationships last awhile, but it seems like whenever he gets a divorce he already has another girlfriend waiting in the wings and then he repeats. His last marriage ended in 2018 and he immediately latched on to his present girlfriend Jennifer Goicoechea- she’s from Miami and happens to be a VP at Epic Records. Usher has two lookalike sons, 11 and 12, with his first wife Tameka Foster. In September, Jennifer gave birth to Usher’s first daughter, Sovereign. They had dinner in Malibu last night and she must be lots of fun- she had Usher doubled over, laughing hysterically when they left …

KEVIN CONNOLLY ‘S “ENTOURAGE” IS EXPANDING

Life goes on and the Entourage guys are actually growing up and settling down. Kevin Connolly, 46, played “E”- Vincent Chase’s best friend, and when the show ended he sought directing jobs. He got a few, but in 2018 he directed the gigantic flop Gotti with John Travolta which was a career disaster for both of them. Last year a costume designer accused Kevin of sexual assault at a wrap party. He insisted it was consensual. Now things seem to be looking up because Kevin’s girlfriend, Colombian actress Zulay Heneo, 41, is expecting their first child in a few months. Fun fact: Zulay and Kevin are the same height: 5’5.”

UNDERCOVER IN NEW YORK: GIGI AND BELLA HADID

We have to congratulate the sharp-eyed paparazzi who recognized Bella and Gigi Hadid, along with Gigi’s new baby in a stroller, when they slipped out the back door of their NY building and took a walk in Soho. They girls played it down by dressing in head-to-toe black, with hair tucked into hats, dark glasses and black masks. How the photographers spotted them is a mystery. Did their expensive clothes or footwear draw attention? Recently Paul McCartney admitted that he loves wearing a mask because now he can go everywhere and anywhere and not be noticed. Apparently it doesn’t work for models.

GIGI HADID WOULD LOVE TO SHOW OFF HER BEAUTIFUL BABY

Gigi Hadid is obviously DYING to post a photo of her new baby daughter and show her off, but for some reason she hesitates. She only shares photos of a small portion of the child’s head or body. We don’t even know her name! We suspect the baby’s elusive daddy Zayn Malik has a lot to do with the secrecy. Frankly, we see no reason for her NOT to share pictures of her newborn. Celebrities do it all the time with no repercussions.

MARRIAGE HAS MADE CAMERON DIAZ SUDDENLY SECRETIVE

She may be retired from films, (so she says) but Cameron Diaz, 47, is still a regular at the hair salon. Cameron and her husband Benji Madden welcomed a daughter named Raddix in January. The secretive couple tried for five years to conceive and finally used a surrogate, but they don’t post photos of their child. That’s why you never saw Cameron looking pregnant, and the baby was such a surprise. The pair just bought a 14.7 million dollar, 9,287 sq ft “architectural farmhouse” in Beverly Hills, so maybe they have plans for more surprise kids. Benji is a lucky guy.
