SCOTT BAIO: “I’M RISKING MY CAREER BY SPEAKING OUT!”

Scott Baio passionately told supporters at the Beverly Hills rally for Donald Trump that he loves his country and thinks the president will win the election because he feels “the silent majority is fed up.” He went on to say that “if we DON’T re-elect Donald Trump, everything we hold dear as Americans will be gone: God, Christmas, freedom, the flag, the national anthem- gone before you can blink! On election day the choice is not between Trump and Biden- it’s between American freedom/capitalism and Marxism!” (If only it were that simple…)

LORENZO LAMAS AND SCOTT BAIO SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT

Lorenzo Lamas made a surprise appearance in Beverly Hills this afternoon. Three or four hundred protesters marched from West Hollywood to Beverly Hills today in an event organized by #Walk Away Foundation. The rally was planned to support president Trump and law enforcement. Lorenzo and Scott Baio were among the speakers at the event. Not enough masks to suit us, but fortunately, no looting.

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND ALEX RODRIGUEZ PROTEST IN PERSON

Not a lot of celebrities are showing up to protest for Black Lives Matter demonstrations – most of the ones that do are quite young and in a festive mood. But Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez turned up to march with the group on Hollywood Blvd in Los Angeles. Certainly that tall guy behind Jennifer is a bodyguard, and you can bet there’s more than one keeping a close eye on the pair. The paparazzi that spotted them is to be congratulated (we wouldn’t have recognized them) – we don’t know if they WANTED to be noticed or not, but their gesture is meaningful.

THIS IS WHAT A PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION LOOKS LIKE

Of course, this is Malibu and not a lot of bad things ever happen there, unless it involves weather or falling rocks. But some inhabitants were determined not to be left out of a socially significant protest. A group of earnest young people congregated at a busy intersection and flashed appropriate Black Lives Matter signs with no obscenities, as cars drove by and honked in agreement. No violence. That’s how they do it in Malibu.

BLM PROTESTERS ARE ALSO HAVING A GOOD TIME

Okay, the Black Lives Matter demonstration has become the biggest social event in Hollywood in MONTHS. Every day, more (attractive) young people join the marches all over Los Angeles – it’s a win-win situation. Jobs are scarce and school is out, and everyone is bored stiff. So they are marching and supporting a good cause and meeting hordes of other like-minded young people in the process. Keep in mind, these are NOT the vandals and looters – they believe in the cause and happen to be having a pleasant and very sociable time with each other. The downside, of course, is the sight of damaged and boarded up businesses – not to mention heartbroken shop owners. Above, “Hot Felon” Jeremy Meeks is protesting again today.

JUSTIN THEROUX CHECKS OUT WHAT’S LEFT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD

We would love to know what Justin Theroux is thinking in this photo. He is walking through Soho with his dog Kuma looking at the horrible damage done last night to the businesses there. Are police absent while all the vandalizing and looting is going on in New York like they are in Los Angeles? Justin is wearing a powerful looking mask and gloves and taking no chances, as he sadly checks out the pointless destruction.

PARIS JACKSON MARCHES FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE

Nice to see Paris Jackson participating at the Black Lives Matter rally in LA. She marched with the afternoon peaceful group who had good intentions, but she didn’t seem to think she needed a mask. Too bad the sincere demonstrators were joined by troublemakers and criminals as the sun went down Saturday night, and the destruction and looting commenced. What started as a heartfelt event turned into a nightmare of graffiti and wrecked stores and sneaker shops. Sad that the purpose of the march was blurred by fires and violence. We feel awful for the shopowners. Why is it WOMEN can march and demonstrate for their causes with NO violence?

CELEBRITY WARNING: WHAT NOT TO WEAR IN MILAN

Whatever you do, don’t even THINK about wearing fur in the Via Monte Napoleone shopping district in Milan. Protesters called “vegan hyenas” were demonstrating in front of Dolce & Gabbana and they turned their attention to any shoppers walking by wearing so much as a fur collar! Shouting protestors flashed their “blood” covered bodies to illustrate how animals are skinned so wealthy people can adorn themselves. No wonder Bloomingdale’s just closed their fur department here in LA…

KRISTEN BELL CANNOT ESCAPE HER CONVICTIONS

Frozen 2 star Kristen Bell had a once-in-a-lifetime honor today – she got her star on the Walk of Fame at a ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard. Too bad politics reared its ugly head. Kristen and her husband Dax Shepard are very vocal about being pro-vaccination. They carefully researched the subject, take it very seriously for their children, and urge other parents to do the same. Why anti-vax demonstrators chose THIS particular occasion to carry signs and shout their feelings against Kristen is odd, and we’re betting they didn’t change any minds…

WHO IS REALLY BEHIND THE “FREE BRITNEY” DEMONSTRATIONS?

These demonstrators made quite a scene outside the courtroom dealing with Britney Spears’ conservatorship hearing and it made us wonder: who is behind this? SOMEONE is motivated to organize these people (fans?) with their signs. The #FreeBritney movement has flourished, even though Britney has never complained about the conservatorship, and her life seems back on track. (The LA Times spent three months investigating her conservatorship, and could find NO evidence that she was being harmed.) The only person we know of who would love to see Britney free to choose her own associates is Sam Lufti, who probably still has a restraining order keeping him away. HE inserted himself into her life during Britney’s head-shaving meltdown days, and her family banned him from contacting her. So it may NOT be “concerned fans” behind this movement.
