MELANIE GRIFFITH AND ANTONIO BANDERAS: EVERYBODY SAW IT COMING

No, it’s NOT a shock that Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas split up, but we do feel badly for Melanie, who tried desperately to hold her marriage together. At the end she had no choice but to file for divorce. We’ve heard stories about Antonio cheating when he was away on location filming. We had the feeling that Melanie did NOT want to know about his flings. She ignored the rumors. We have to point out here that as problematic as some of Melanie’s behavior can be, she IS a nice person and really well-liked in the industry. Her trips to rehab and chain smoking didn’t help the marriage. Nor did her plastic surgery – the inflated lips really bothered Antonio. Stella, the child they had together, turns 18 this year so hopefully the divorce will be civilized. But we do feel sad for Melanie. (Above, the couple in March)

Antonio Banderas Melanie Griffith

MELANIE AND ANTONIO: FRESH FROM THE BAHAMAS

Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith are holding hands at the airport upon returning from a ten day vacation in the Bahamas. Antonio picked up quite a tan – Melanie, not so much. This couple defied all tabloid predictions by keeping their marriage together – they celebrate their 18th anniversary in May. Antonio just finished filming “The 33”– about the Chilean mining disaster where 33 miners were trapped underground for 69 days.

Melanie Griffith Oscars Shopping

MELANIE GRIFFITH KNOWS AN OSCAR BARGAIN WHEN SHE SEES ONE

On her way home from the gym, Melanie Griffith stopped to browse in a clothing store. Melanie was nominated in 1988 for “Working Girl” (one of our favorite movies) and she’ always invited to the Oscars and parties. This year she shopped Neiman Marcus Last Call sale and found a bargain dress perfect for Oscar night. Her black satin designer gown was reduced to $110 from $800. Now THAT’s a deal! Melanie always buys her own dresses because she’s too shy to ask to borrow one. We’re surprised – she has such a great figure that she would make any designers creation look good. We hope to see her there tonight! (We’ll be on the red carpet reporting for ZDF German TV.)

Melanie Griffith

MELANIE GRIFFITH IS WEARING ONE SHADE OF BLACK VERY SUCCESSFULLY

It’s Melanie Griffith walking out of a medical building in Beverly Hills. Dressed in black from head to toe, she definitely looks hot and makes one wonder if she just had a little “tweaking” done. No doubt she’s enjoying the success her daughter Dakota Johnson, who’s filming “Fifty Shades of Grey” in Canada.

Dakota Johnson Fifty Shades of Grey Melanie Griffith Real Estate

MELANIE GRIFFITH HOPES TO KEEP DAUGHTER DAKOTA JOHNSON CLOSE TO HOME

Melanie Griffith is shopping for a new place for her 24 year old daughter Dakota Johnson to live, and her first stop was The El Royale, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The building is just blocks from Melanie and Antonio Banderas’s home in Hancock Park. Dakota’s busy in Toronto filming Fifty Shades of Grey, while Melanie checks out the real estate. The El Royale is a historic building built in 1929 and designed by the same architect who did the Chateau Marmont. Lots of old Hollywood glamour, and the average rental is about $3,500 mo. (24 hour doorman – safe for a single girl) And of course everybody from Clark Gable and Loretta young to Josh Brolin and Katie Holmes have called the place home. Best of all, it’s right down the street from us, so maybe we’ll get some scoops!

Melanie Griffith Stella Banderas

MELANIE GRIFFITH CAN GIVE UP A LOT OF THINGS, BUT NOT CIGARETTES

Melanie Griffith puffs on a cigarette while her daughter Stella looks on (disapprovingly?) as they shop in West Hollywood. Melanie is still married to Stella’s father Antonio Banderas despite many predictions that it wouldn’t last. In fact, Melanie and Antonio costarred in a sci-fi thriller called Automatica in Spain that will be released next year.

Barneys Melanie Griffith Optical Illusion

MELANIE GRIFFITH DOESN’T NEED ANY OPTICAL ILLUSIONS

Photo via: Daily Mail

This might be the “optical illusion “ look that Kim Kardashian was hoping for the other day when she wore that black and white dress. Of course the slenderizing illusion of Melanie Griffith’s pants is not surprising because Mel is slim to begin with. She was blessed with a naturally great figure. Melanie spent a happy afternoon shopping at Barneys.
