CAN COREY GAMBLE KEEP UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS?

Kris Jenner’s new boyfriend Corey Gamble, 34, seems hell-bent on impressing her. Kris cannot be easy to shop for because she denies herself very little, if anything. Corey works for Scooter Braun as a road manager (frequently for Justin Bieber) and we’re not sure how much road managers earn, but he’s spending like he’s trying to Keep up with you–know-who. Corey was seen on Christmas eve shopping in Barneys, Cartier, and Louis Vuitton, and he walked out of each place with multiple bags. He does seem to be enjoying his new-found notoriety.

KIRSTIE ALLEY DRIVES A HARD BARGAIN AT TARGET

AG021951_01kirstcut

It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Kirstie Alley, but she turned up at Target, looking for sale merchandise like many other shoppers. Kirstie found a sales person and asked to see a particular table that was advertised on sale. The clerk informed her that the item was sold out but it could be ordered and sent to her. Kirstie was NOT happy. “But I want it TODAY!” she declared. The salesperson apologized and pointed out a nicer and costlier table that was available. Kirstie demanded to see the manager and pressured the manager to give her the expensive table for the price of the sale table! The manager refused despite Kirstie’s relentless pleas. She left scowling and we can’t help but wonder why Kirstie Alley is buying furniture at Target in the first place!

SARAH JESSICA PARKER IS HAPPY TO BE A HIGH AND LOW END SHOPPER

Sarah Jessica Parker doesn’t only visit the expensive designer shops while she’s in Rome – she also patronizes the local flea markets! (A girl after our own heart!) Above, bargain hunters were surprised to run into the “Sex & the City” star at the Via Sannio outdoor market in the city. She enthusiastically rummaged through the clothing, tried on several vintage hats, and examined leather handbags. How she shops in those high heels remains a mystery.

SPANISH PAPARAZZI ARE KEEPING THEIR DISTANCE FROM ALEC BALDWIN

Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria and baby Carmen spent a family day of shopping in Madrid. Hilaria is hard to miss in those shorts and high heels but so far Alec hasn’t had any run-ins with the local paparazzi. He’s in town to promote a Spanish comedy, “Torrente,” in which he has a starring role. Alec bought himself a suit and several shirts. Eventually they accumulated so many bags that Carmen had to vacate her stroller.

KENDALL AND HAILEY: ALL THEY WANTED TO DO WAS SHOP…

It’s funny how the “second generation” Kardashians – actually the Jenner girls, are starting to attract more and more attention, thanks to Kris. Kendall, who dropped her last name for modeling, and her best friend Hailey Baldwin (Stephen Baldwin’s daughter) went shopping in New York and before they knew it they had a parade of gawkers behind them. The trail of gaping pedestrians got bigger and bigger as the 18 year old girls went from store to store, cramping their style. Next time they might be advised to try a disguise.

BRITNEY SPEARS CAN’T WAIT TO GET TO MACY’S SALE

AG038909_24britcut

She’s never been much of a Barneys or Maxfield shopper, so it makes sense that Britney Spears would get excited over the Super Sunday sale at Macy’s. (50 to 75% off menswear etc!) She and her boyfriend David Lucado (described as an “ordinary guy”) were photographed dashing across the mall parking lot and she’s going to need that bodyguard because the store will be packed. Brit’s a down to earth girl no matter how many millions she rakes in performing in Las Vegas.

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.)

NAOMI CAMPBELL IS A BILLIONAIRE MAGNET

Naomi+Campbell+Naom#17D3cut

Apparently Naomi Campbell isn’t the least bit persnickety about the billionaires who take her shopping. Another of her “dear friends” is Nigerian oil billionaire Kola Aluko, who loves celebrities and is known for throwing huge sums of money around while his fellow Nigerians suffer and die in poverty. He recently purchased yet another extravagant property in Los Angeles – a Bel Air mansion priced at 29 million. He already has a 50 million dollar yacht and recently enjoyed a 1.5 million dollar bottle of champagne to the disgust of his impoverished two wives and children back in Nigeria. Naomi loves to go shopping with the generous Kola, but she won’t “date” him – not because of the wives- because he’s not all that attractive. (Click HERE to see them shopping)

THAT’S KHLOE KARDASHIAN UNDER THAT BLACK HOODIE

Khloe Kardashian looks like she’s either in mourning or looking to hold up a convenience store in her big black hoodie. Not a great look considering she’s shopping at expensive emporiums Barneys and Maxfield where the customers often look like a million bucks. Her divorce doesn’t seem to be affecting her spending habits.
