SAM ELLIOTT’S A STAR IS BORN COSTARS BRAVE THE RAIN FOR HIM

Nevertheless, Bradley and Gaga braved the elements today, as did a number of celebs, to praise Sam and give him a hug on Hollywood Blvd.

We haven’t seen Katharine for awhile – she’s in the company of their pink-haired daughter Cleo, a musician and actress.
