Courtney Love arrived at the Young Adult premier in New York looking like a deranged bride. Her tattoos- some faded and some dark – just don’t add anything to her look.

Since she’s not dating a rock star, Ashlee Simpson doesn’t want to look like a rock chick. Nowadays she’s spending a lot of time in New York and the people she’s hanging out with are not so much into the music scene. Ashlee got at least five tattoos when she was married to musician Pete Wentz and now she’s having them lasered OFF
SINEAD O’CONNOR: NOTHING COMPARES TO A MAKEOVER
Sinead O’Connor came to her senses and realized that looking like a matronly former nun would not help her reputation as a controversial personality and singer. In 1992, Saturday Night Live producers and viewers were shocked (believe it or not) when Sinead tore up a photo of the pope and threw the pieces at the camera in protest of sexual abuse in the Catholic church. (Good for her!) Her obstinate spirit and shaved head gave her the rebellious reputation. So when she turned up 20 years later looking ordinary, her career seemed doomed. But she took a good look in the mirror and shaved her head again and added a big Jesus tattoo on her chest. She HAD to do something, she has a new album coming out in February!
JOHNNY DEPP IS PALLING AROUND WITH DAMIEN ECHOLS OF THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE
Last Friday afternoon, Johnny Depp and Damien Echols of the West Memphis Three were seen on Sunset Strip. You may remember, Johnny worked tirelessly to get the three young men who spent 18 years in jail for murder, free, because the evidence was so flimsy. Actually Damien’s teenage goth style probably contributed to their conviction more than anything. (Try to see the two West Memphis Three documentaries on HBO – a third one is on the way.) Johnny and Damien visited Depp’s favorite tattoo parlor – Shamrock Social Club, and an observer told us Damien seemed to be in a great mood and it looked like they both got tattoos. They do have a lot to celebrate.
ZOMBIE BOY RICK GENEST ON THE CATWALK IN PARIS
Here’s another unique male model that turned up for Fashion Week in Paris. Rick Genest, aka “Zombie Boy,” has all-over face and skeletal body tattoos. Every inch of his body is covered. The Montreal born model was a sensation when he appeared in Thierry Mugler’s fashion show in Paris and beautiful girls were waiting in line to have their pictures taken with him. He also appeared in Lady Gaga’s video ”Born Like This.” Rick told WWD “When I was a kid I fell in love with zombies and wanted to be one.” No kidding.
WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH VANESSA HUDGENS?
Vanessa Hudgens needs a new boyfriend or an exciting job opportunity because the 22 year old seems to be bored out of her mind. Why else does a successful and beautiful young woman go out and get tattooed in this day and age? What was hot in the 90’s has become tiresome, with tattoo removal offices rivaling tattoo parlors in number. Desperate for excitement, Vanessa got another butterfly tattoo – she has one on her back and this one’s visible on her neck. (Apparently the name Vanessa translates to butterfly in Greek, as if that’s an excuse.) Maybe this is one of the few ways Disney kids can rebel without consequences.
OBSERVATIONS AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES 2011
A few offhand comments about the Golden Globes: Certainly the biggest news of the night was Justin Bieber’s new haircut. It looks like some stylist talked him into feathering that helmet hair he’s held onto and he really doesn’t look happy about it. We all have to grow up sometime. It wouldn’t be a special event without Rob Pattinson – his arrival elicited the most screams from the fans outside by a long shot. Finally, we think Megan Fox is a classic beauty, but this is 2011 and tattoos on the red carpet look SOOO tired.
WE TOLD YOU SO: JESSE JAMES AND KAT VON D ARE DATING!
Back in June we told you that Sandra Bullock was aware that her estranged husband Jesse James was a big fan of L.A. Ink reality star Kat Von D while they were still married. At that time she didn’t suspect any funny business on Jesse’s part. Sneaky Jesse made it clear to Kat that he’d like to hook up – however, she never responded. (And we admired her for that.) Now that Jesse’s divorce is over, Kat apparently relented and she and Jesse were seen together in Las Vegas this weekend, dining at the Palms and holding hands, according to People magazine. So Jesse got his wish in the end.
OF COURSE, JESSE JAMES CHEATED, BUT WHAT WILL SANDRA BULLOCK DO?
It’s not easy being Sandra Bullock. Imagine – she was the toast of the town at the Oscars and a few weeks later she’s been crushed by marriage betrayal. Since In Touch revealed the story of Jesse James’ affair with tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell McGee,” Sandra has been out of sight and canceling appearances. If you’re wondering if the affair story is true, all you have to do is LOOK at the model – she’s Jesse’s type. He’s always preferred skanky women and Sandra is the exception. It’s ironic that the affair happened while Sandra was filming “Blind Side” in Atlanta. We feel awful for her, but don’t think she’ll dump Jesse. Sandra knew she was marrying a bad boy. She’ll think long and hard and make him suffer, but she doesn’t want a divorce. Like Fergie, she will take the high road and hold on to her marriage.
