JAMIE FOXX GIVES HIMSELF A FEW INCHES

Okay, sometimes we get a little carried away when it comes to men’s fashion – but it’s always a revealing and interesting subject. Take this photo of Jamie Foxx, for example. Jamie loves fashion and we appreciate the colorful fleece jacket, plaid shirt, and jeans that he wore for dinner at Catch. But a close look at the 54 year old actor’s shoes is what tickled our fancy. Apparently being 5’8” is not enough for Jamie- he is wearing built-up wedgie sneakers that give him an extra 2 1/2 or 3 inches of height. Maybe he picked up a few tips about height enhancement from an expert when he costarred with Tom Cruise in Collateral

HOW TINY IS OFFSET?

Cardi B’s husband Offset made a big mistake posing for this photo with G-Eazy at his birthday bash because he looks SO short! Looks like they are both contemplating the dollar bill on the ground – who’s gonna pick it up? Offset claims to be 5’9 and G-Eazy is around 6’3”, in case you’re wondering. G-Eazy was a guest at Offset’s 30th birthday party at Sneakertopia (a pop-up Sneaker museum in LA) Cardi gave her hubby a 2 million dollar check for his birthday – does she assume he will spend it on HER?

CLAUDIA SCHIFFER’S HUSBAND IS SENSITIVE ABOUT HEIGHT

We’ve seen a lot of 90’s Supermodels making comebacks – but what happened to Claudia Schiffer? The Bardot lookalike model dated, of all people, magician David Copperfield for most of the 90’s (he sometimes had her assist in his act,) and when they finally broke up in 1999, she dropped out of sight. Actually she left David for British producer/director Matthew Vaughn. He established himself producing Guy Ritchie’s early successful films and went on to do X-Men and Kingsman movies. Vaughn and Claudia married in 2002 and what’s strange is: he never cast her in films or made her a star! Isn’t that why aspiring actresses marry producers? Obviously they were in love, and had three kids. She made a rare appearance at the premier of his new film The Kings Man and we had to laugh at how short she makes him look. Claudia is 5’11” and wearing flats – Matthew CLAIMS to be 6’ tall but this photo is a dead giveaway…

MARIAH CAREY AND HER HAZARDOUS HIGH HEELS

We are eternally amused by Mariah Carey’s fixation for wearing dangerously high heels. Fueled by her never-ending desire to appear taller, Mariah is forced to hire a man who’s most important job is making sure that wobbly Mariah doesn’t stumble or fall in public. Mariah took her boyfriend Brian Tanaka and her kids Moroccan and Monroe to LA’s Tao restaurant, but the man she’s holding onto is not Brian – it’s her hired helper. Occasionally he lets go of her and she stands still and strikes a pose for paparazzi, but she grabs him again before taking a step alone. When Mariah is seated inside the restaurant next to Brian, the guy makes himself scarce.

AGAINST ALL ODDS, GWENDOLINE CHRISTIE PREVAILED

SO nice to see Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie looking glamorous and in charge. It’s not easy to succeed as an actress when you’re 6’3” tall and weigh 185 pounds. Few male actors are that tall. When she studied in drama school, Gwendoline was discouraged at every turn – she was told “Good luck” getting into movies. But she was inspired by Tilda Swinton, who also seemed NOT to fit the movie star mold. Gwendolyn started out playing supporting roles as gawky secretaries or “best friends.” Game of Thrones changed everything. Now she confidently wears high heels to premiers!

PENNY LANCASTER KEEPS ROD STEWART ON HIS TOES

He may be 74, but Rod Stewart has no plans to slow down – he has a younger wife to keep him busy. We always love photos of Penny Lancaster, 48, and Rod together because, at 6’1”, she’s taller than him, and still loves to wear heels. They’ve been married for 16 years and have two boys together – Alastair, 14, and Aiden, 8. Penny and Rod were partying at Annabel’s club in London this week.

BRIGITTE NIELSEN: THEY SAID IT WOULDN’T LAST

Observers were doubtful, to say the least, when Red Sonja star Brigitte Nielsen, who happens to be 6’1,” took up with Italian bartender Mattia Dessi, who stands 5’6.” He’s also 15 years younger than she is. But not only has their unlikely marriage lasted 16 years, but they had a baby last year. The couple endured over 10 years of in vitro fertilizations, but Brigitte finally gave birth, at 54, to a baby girl named Frida. Brigitte already has four grown sons from other relationships. Above, they enjoyed an afternoon at the Farmer’s Market.

TIM ROBBINS: FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT NO ONE LOOKS BETTER WITH A BEARD

Who DIDN’T love Tim Robbins in Shawshank Redemption? The Academy loved him MORE in Mystic River and gave him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 2003 – at 6’5,” he remains the TALLEST actor ever to win an Oscar. Always a political activist, Tim introduced improvisational acting to gang members locked up in California. Tim was seen layered up for the cold weather, carrying TWO space heaters and looking for a taxi in New York

TOM HOLLAND: TINY SPIDER-MAN TO THE RESCUE

Tom Holland is suited up in his new Spider-Man costume while filming a scene in New York with his on-camera love interest, Zendaya. They’re just wrapping up the last scenes for Spider-Man: Far From Home. In some scenes it’s very apparent that 5’ 10” Zendaya is quite a bit taller than her leading man – especially when he’s rescuing her from one thing or another. Height is no problem in real life – it’s entirely possible that Zendaya and Tom are a couple, but their lips are sealed.

CHER DOESN’T HAVE TO DIET – SHE JUST GETS TALLER!

You gotta give Cher some credit – she figured out a whole new way to feel thinner without giving up ice cream or the other yummy desserts she loves. She lies about her HEIGHT! Back in the 1970’s Cher admitted to being 5’6” and she still towered over her husband Sonny Bono. In the eighties she claimed to be ALMOST 5’8”, and currently she insists she is officially 5’9”. Having been to her yard sale years ago, we KNOW she is 5’5” to 5’6” at the MOST. (We tried on her clothes!) Cher figures that if she is 5’9,” she can eat more and whatever she weighs (135 lbs?) looks like LESS because she’s tall. Above, the Mamma Mia star is enjoying ice cream in St Tropez, and of course she looks great, height notwithstanding…
