JANELLE MONAE JUST WANTS TO HAVE FUN

Designer Thom Browne hooked up fashion-wise with Janelle Monae for the London film Festival, and it’s a match made in heaven. At barely five feet tall, Janelle is a challenge to dress, but she more than makes up for it with enthusiasm for menswear. And NOBODY rocks a hat with more pizazz. She’s played a lot of serious roles on film and would love to have more fun- like Johnny Depp. Janelle says she does NOT admire Johnny as a person, but she does envy his career. She too, would like to play characters like Willy Wonka or Jack Sparrow the pirate – “characters that people would like to dress up as on Halloween.” In the meantime, watch for this fashionista in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery opening Nov 23.

BEN AFFLECK’S LIFE IS HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Ben Affleck, 48, must have been pleasantly surprised when he learned that he’s now living with a Vogue cover girl! Ben met Ana de Armas, 32, last November when they filmed Dark Water together, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. You probably remember Ana from her starring role in Knives Out. The Cuban-Spanish actress recently gave up her Venice apartment to move into Ben’s house. She’s made friends with Ben’s kids (they all love dogs) and Ben’s ex Jennifer Garner seems genuinely happy for Ben.

DON JOHNSON STILL HAS WHAT IT TAKES

Miami Vice bad boy Don Johnson, 69, has grown into quite an attractive mature man – especially since he shaved off those grey whiskers. Don made his mark in the 80’s playing Crockett, a Miami cop who wore Versace suits with no socks. Johnson was catnip for numerous Hollywood actresses, including Barbra Streisand, and he got married several times. He walked away with a lot of money from his Nash Bridges TV series, and has been married to Kelley Phleger since 1999. He’s at the London premier of his new movie Knives Out, which is getting stellar reviews. Don is living proof that you can lead a wild life and end up still looking good…

DON JOHNSON HAS A NEW VICE

Looks like the Toronto Film Festival is loaded with attractive men of a certain age. Don Johnson is looking Miami Vice hot as he does interviews about his new film, Knives Out, that debuted there. It’s described as a modern version of a whodunit murder mystery (with a huge cast of stars) and the movie is getting rave reviews. Rotten Tomatoes rated it at 100%! The film stars Daniel Craig and Don plays a spoiled white guy from a wealthy family and, yeah, he’s got the look…
