Eccentricities

WENDY WILLIAMS: STUFFED ANIMALS YES- PANTS NO!

We’ve seen Wendy Williams in some odd and eccentric outfits- especially since she became single. But this sweatshirt decorated with stuffed animals around the shoulders that she wore on her way to work today is one of the oddest. She paired the sweatshirt with nude fishnet tights- no pants! Luckily her bizarre fashion choices have not repelled the new man in her life. Mike Esterman, 53, is either a real estate executive or a contractor – depending on who you ask. He lives in Maryland so they talk a lot but haven’t been able to spend much time together. It’s interesting that they met during the Date Wendy segment on her show- she picked him out of a group of available guys.

FAYE DUNAWAY IS STILL WEIGHING EVERY PIECE OF BROCCOLI

Page Six made a big deal out of Faye Dunaway, 75, pulling out a scale and weighing her food at the elegant AMFAR dinner in Cannes. But she does that EVERY year that she attends the event AND she does it obsessively wherever she is eating! Back in 2007 we wrote about her very carefully measuring her meal at a Koo Koo Roo chicken take-out restaurant. She’s been on this crazy diet for a LONG time but it seems to work for her. Read about it here:

SHIA LABEOUF IS MORE THAN JUST ECCENTRIC

127553PCN_Shia06cut

Shia LaBeouf remains an appealing actor in spite of his crazyisms. He’s always been a bit of a crackpot and a bigger drinker than anyone suspected. Shia appeared at the Berlin Film Festival wearing a brown paper bag on his head in some sort of protest about being famous. He’s been in bar brawls and a car accident that crushed his left hand, but that didn’t stop him from threatening a neighbor with a knife. He dabbled in “performance art” which only James Franco seemed to understand. Shia produced a short film and wrote comic books and was accused of plagerizing it all. His apology was plagerized also. After his arrest for disrupting a performance of Cabaret, he was seen going to AA meetings. His movie “Fury” with Brad Pitt comes out this week. (Above, Shia in pink spandex tights)

TWO ECCENTRIC GENIUSES IN NEW YORK: GRACE CODDINGTON AND JOHN GALLIANO

Two offbeat characters turn heads in Manhattan. You might remember red-haired Grace Coddington from the Vogue magazine documentary “The September >Issue.” She has some head of hair, doesn’t she? A former model, Grace has been the brilliant Creative Director at Vogue since 1988 and the film implied that SHE was the real genius at Vogue, not Anna Wintour, who enjoys all the credit. The unlikeable but brilliant designer John Galliano always breaks fashion rules. His racist meltdown blamed on alcoholism a few years ago destroyed his career, but he is attempting a comeback.

WATCH OUT, HERE COMES JANICE DICKINSON!

On a recent visit to Robertson Blvd, Janice Dickinson burst into one of her favorite posh stores, screaming into her cell phone as usual, and marched to the rear of the store as other shoppers jumped out of the way. She plopped down on a chair, rummaged around in her bag, and yelled “Where’s my WALLET? I can’t find MY WALLET!” This happens ALL THE TIME! It’s a CONSPIRACY!” Terrified customers ducked out the door as Janice’s long suffering assistant came running in the store. “Your wallet’s in the car!” she said, rolling her eyes.

DIANE KEATON’S BEACH STYLE IS ALL BLACK

We can think of two people who might be frolicking in the ocean in Hawaii with her kids (Dexter, 14, and Duke, 9, above) while wearing a black long sleeve t shirt and black pants. One is Madonna and the other is in this photo: Diane Keaton. Diane has never been one to show a lot of skin and on top of that, she likes to keep the sun at bay. At least she’s not wearing a turtleneck.

COURTNEY LOVE'S CONNECTION TO THE MORTGAGE CRISIS

Courtney Love’s blogs are a chore to read and an insightful colleague was kind enough to translate her latest ravings for us. Apparently she has come to the conclusion that the mortgage industry meltdown is directly related to the conspiratorial acts committed by her former employees and confidants who embezzled a FORTUNE from her. Courtney insists her losses total 800 million dollars. She says that trust funds created for her daughter were raided and the money used, along with Kurt Cobain’s stolen social security number, to buy thousands of pieces of property in fake names across the US, with each piece refinanced to buy more. Thus, the mortgage meltdown. She says she has proof but no one will listen to her. And this investigation has taken up so much of Courtney’s time, that her long delayed album, Nobody’s Daughter, will not be released anytime soon.

FAYE DUNAWAY IS WEARING THOSE PLASTIC GLOVES AGAIN!

First of all, let’s make it clear that there is NOBODY we’d rather write about than Faye Dunaway. Not only is she a glamorous movie star, but she’s eccentric beyond words, and we can’t get enough of her. Here she was photographed running errands (picking up dry cleaning, etc) and the whole time she was wearing plastic disposable food handling gloves. Dare we assume that she has become very germ conscious? Readers will fondly remember another of our Faye sightings at Koo Koo Roo that involved plastic gloves, among other things.
