PARISIANS DON’T GIVE UP EASILY WHEN IT COMES TO HAVING FUN


Before Covid

After Covid
Parisians were NOT happy when the Prime Minister cancelled elaborate plans for a flamboyant New Year’s Eve 2022 at Champs Elysees due to the resurgence of Covid. Three popular DJs had been hired to provide music and fireworks were promised at the Arc de Triomphe every hour. Surrounding cafes and restaurants were all taking part in the festive evening. Bottom photo: Guess what! The disgruntled French citizens turned up anyway and mobbed the area – with and without masks…

JULIA ROBERTS: MAYBE NEXT YEAR I CAN WEAR THIS

Julia Roberts posted this gorgeous Vogue photo to lament the cancellation of the Met Gala this year. Many celebrities and designers eagerly anticipate this yearly extravaganza (We even went a few times back in the 90’s before it became the big deal it is today.) Of course the ball was cancelled due to the pandemic, so a lot of people are melancholy and their beautiful dresses will just have to wait…

IS HONEY BOO BOO LOSING HER LOOKS?

The TV cameras have been removed, but life seems to go on at Honey Boo Boo’s family home in Georgia. Alana seems happy enough, but the rest of the family has turned on Mama June because the TLC gravy train has crashed. Family members had grown accustomed to getting those big checks for appearing on the show and it’s June’s fault that it’s OVER. The future is suddenly NOT so bright. Honey Boo Boo tried to liven things up by dying her hair red for Halloween, but nobody’s laughing.

HONEY BOO BOO : WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

It appears that Honey Boo Boo’s Mama June is NOT the person many people thought she was. When Honey Boo Boo’s reality show first came on the air, many viewers were horrified at the family’s lack of education and unsophisticated country lifestyle. Others were VERY supportive, insisting that June was a loving mother and her family was really happy. Funny how June turned out to be the villain here – she’s spending a lot of money on her jailbird boyfriend who molested her own daughter ten years ago. Of course her other daughters are now exposed to this predator on a daily basis. Cheers to TLC for canceling the show.

MAYBE LISA MARIE PRESLEY DOESN’T REALLY HAVE A BAD BACK

Lisa Marie Presley’s concert tour was a hit in Japan and Australia, but she abruptly cancelled all her performances in the USA and Canada, claiming back pain. But insiders are saying the real reason she canceled is because she didn’t sell enough tickets. Maybe all those Scientologists who used to stand in line to see her are no longer fans. After all, Lisa, 46, seems to be disillusioned by the cult and is now living in the UK and estranged from Scientology.

KATIE HOLMES UNDER OBSERVATION IN A COFFEE SHOP

#katieholmes #janetcharlton

Katie Holmes is picking up some coffee at a shop in New York – it looks like she walks around without any sort of bodyguard. Her play “Dead Accounts” was just cancelled seven weeks ahead of schedule due to lackluster ticket sales. From the looks of that girl up front with the eye makeup and two tone hair, maybe Katie could USE some security….

NOTHING GETS BETWEEN EVELYN LOZADA AND HER REALITY CAREER

#evelynlozada #janetcharlton

Having watched the Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson wife battering story go down we’ve formed a few conclusions. Chad and Basketball Wives reality star Evelyn Lozada both seem to seek the limelight to excess, and their July wedding was filmed by VH1 for their own reality show “Ev and Ocho.” When the head-butting incident put an end to Chad’s job with the Miami Dolphins and AND VH1 cancelled their reality show, Evelyn filed for divorce the next day! We’re betting if the show WASN’T cancelled she would have made a big deal out of forgiving him on camera and the show would have gone ON. But since her marriage is no longer useful to her reality career, Evelyn is moving on to where the grass is greener. That’s how these “reality marriages” seem to go…

AFTER EIGHT YEARS , HUGH LAURIE IS GOING HOME

Now that the Fox series is ending in May, “House“ doc Hugh Laurie, 52, is about to become reacquainted with his family. Since 2004, Hugh has been living for at least nine months a year in Los Angeles while his wife Jo and their 3 children remained in the UK. Several times they considered moving to LA, but the children loved their school and they didn’t know how long the show would survive. After eight years of incredible popularity, daddy became the highest paid actor in a drama, pulling in $700,000 a week. Soon, he’s going home. Hopefully, living apart is not the reason the 23 year marriage has been a success.

DON’T BLAME THE BUNNIES: HORRIBLE WRITING KILLED “THE PLAYBOY CLUB”

It’s a shame that The Playboy Club series was such a disappointment and only lasted three episodes. The Chicago based show set in the 60’s, when Rush Street was hot, LOOKED glossy and great, but the writing was pathetic. A story about the bunnies and their lives at that time would have been far more interesting than the trumped up gangster plot that had nothing to do with the club. A smart female writer would have talked to a slew of former bunnies and gotten all their stories together. These girls had interesting lives and a lot to tell. In those days the prettiest girls in Chicago became stewardesses or Playboy bunnies. It could have been a really fun series.
