Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

OUR TWO FAVORITE ROOMS IN THE NEW AFFLECK/LOPEZ HOUSE

While Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are on their Italian honeymoon (with their kids, no less!) work has begun on the new 60 million dollar 29,000 sq ft Beverly Hills house they bought before they left. They kept the purchase a big secret and nobody knows exactly what they paid for it, but billionaire James Packer once owned it. You already know it has 7 bedrooms and everything else a human could want, but after checking out the photos we picked out the two rooms we love most. The first is the amazingly well-equipped beauty salon that will keep the blended families looking their best. Sigh. Drool. The second desirable room also made us dizzy with envy- it’s the closet – and it looks like an expensive boutique. Now THAT’S breathtaking luxury…

WHAT IS ADELE’S BOYFRIEND REALLY THINKING?

Adele and her boyfriend Rich Paul are vacationing in Italy and in this photo they are boarding a yacht to soak up the sun with friends. By all accounts, Adele is crazy about Rich, (she says he’s “hilarious” and “smart.”) but his feelings are not as clear. Remember, right before Adele canceled her residency at Caesar’s Palace, she admitted she was miserable because Rich was working and unable to be with her to prepare for the opening. HE was the problem. Rich manages LeBron James and other NBA players and has a very busy schedule of his own. It was a tearful drama when Adele announced to fans that she called off the Las Vegas series of shows just 24 hours before. She immediately flew to Rich’s Beverly Hills house and stayed there until he calmed her down. Looks like she’s the clingy and emotional one, and Rich is the sensible one in this coupling. All in all, Adele’s happiness seems to depend on how her romance is going with Rich. Obviously he’s fond of her and has fun in her world, but he’s walking on eggs, juggling his job and trying not to upset her. Not exactly a match made in heaven…

KHLOE KARDASHIAN GOT HER ABS THE EASY WAY

PHOTOSHOP FAIL!! You don’t have to be Arnold Schwarzenegger to detect some very amateur photoshopping on Khloe Kardashian’s abs in the photo above. Real abs never looked swirly like this! Somebody should have consulted a muscle magazine before attempting to improve her physique.  Did you know the Kardashian family has a FULL-TIME 9 to 5 photoshop expert working for them every day of the week, making sure NO photo is released without beautification? So we may NEVER know what these girls who love to get undressed, REALLY look like!

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

Alas, sometimes fashion does all the wrong things. Football quarterback Russell Wilson and his gorgeous singer wife Ciara turned up at the ESPYS 2022 award show (for sports) dressed to the nines. This handsome and stylish couple is often the best looking one in the room. On this night however, we have to comment on Ciara’s fashion choice. All eyes must have been on her chest all evening because it’s screaming for attention. Her strangely provocative dress succeeds in attracting all the wrong type of glances and snickers, and it cheapens their usually elegant look. She deserves better…

JOEY KING : HAIRDO OR HAIR DON’T?

It’s not often that you see something you have NEVER SEEN BEFORE, so we were quite fascinated by Joey King’s hairstyle. She’s busy promoting Bullet Train with her costar Brad Pitt in London and this was her look last night for the premier. We kind of like the dark fingerwaves up front – Zendaya has been sporting those also, and she looks adorable. But the brown mullet in the back is puzzling. Can anyone out there explain this look? (Did Joey run out of the hair salon before she was finished?)

JUST DON’T ASK SURI CRUISE ABOUT HER FATHER

She’s growing up fast, and everybody seems to think Suri Cruise, 16, looks like her mother Katie Holmes. But look closely- she is actually a dead-ringer for her father Tom Cruise! A young female version of course, but the resemblance is obvious. That’s probably not what anyone wants to hear, since Scientologist Tom has chosen to cut ties with his only biological daughter and hasn’t seen her for years. Tom’s latest movie Top Gun: Maverick has created quite a sensation – but has Suri even SEEN it? Her father might be the most famous actor in the world- presumably her friends and school mates ask questions about him. It must be SO awkward for her. The only good thing about this father-daughter problem is that Suri has been rescued from a life in Scientology…

ADRIAN BRODY AND HIS QUESTIONABLE GIRLFRIEND

Adrian Brody and his girlfriend Georgina Chapman are enjoying their vacation on a yacht in St Tropez. We wonder what his female friends think of Georgina. You will recall she was married to despicable serial sex offender Harvey Weinstein from 2007 until he was accused of crimes against over 80 women in four countries in 2017. He was also famous for forcing his actresses to wear Marchesa dresses on red carpets. Marchesa was Georgina’s company (Harvey was an investor.) Through all this, Georgina maintains that she knew NOTHING about her husband’s revolting activities. Most people – especially women- find that IMPOSSIBLE to believe. (Even I heard many awful stories.) Needless to say, Marchesa is not as “popular” as it used to be- nor is Georgina…

JEAN- PAUL GAULTIER HAS HIS OWN WEST END MUSICAL

We haven’t seen Boy George dressed to kill in awhile, so you KNOW something is happening in London. It’s opening night of Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fashion Freak Show – a theater production on the West End. The show is described as “50 years of pop culture through the eyes of JP Gaultier (who happens to be one of our favorite designers!) Actors, dancers, and circus performers in extravagant costumes fill the stage along with the music, celebrities, and movies, that inspired Gaultier through the years. Certainly Madonna will be prominently featured in that infamous bullet bra! One critic said that this production makes all the other West End shows look “beige.” By the way, George and the Culture Club are currently on tour…

JESSICA ALVES AIMS TO BE YOUR “DREAM GIRL” NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS

Okay, I know some of you readers just hate it when I post items about Jessica (formerly Rodrigo) Alves, but I never get tired of his/her antics. And it’s utterly amazing what men will do to themselves to turn into women! Alves is pictured here in a country I never heard of – Baku, Azerbaijan, to be exact. It’s a Muslim country that was once part of Russia. Apparently Jessica just got more cosmetic surgery there – body contouring liposuction and an endoscopy mid-facelift. After 90-plus surgeries, it’s becoming more difficult for Alves to find doctors willing to do such extreme work. We are hoping that he/she will give up on the idea of having a womb transplant and becoming the first transgender woman to have a baby…

JOHN TRAVOLTA ON SCIENTOLOGY: DON’T ASK DON’T TELL

We can’t help wondering about John Travolta’s current ties to Scientology. At one time John was such a high ranking member that it was said he could get away with murder. John was the most powerful celebrity “church” member until Tom Cruise came along. He’s been a member since 1975 (remember the Battlefield Earth debacle?) but rumors are circulating that he is now distancing himself from the organization. They started after his wife Kelly Preston died of breast cancer in 2020. John praised the medical team that treated his wife, but it’s noteworthy that Scientologists are vehemently AGAINST traditional medical treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. Last year, John sold his big house in Clearwater, Florida, where Scientology headquarters are located, and didn’t look back. (Tom Cruise still has a house there) Nowadays John doesn’t say anything negative about Scientology, nor does he bring up the subject. He certainly does not want to anger the powerful and controlling church – bad things might happen. So if he DOES discreetly slip away from Scientology, we probably won’t know about it…
