HOLLYWOOD HAS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN KIM AND KANYE

Party planners and social event hosts in Hollywood hesitate to invite unhappily divorced couples to the same gathering. To avoid unpleasant scenes, they have to choose one side or the other. These days they have to choose between inviting powerful Kanye West or popular Kim Kardashian. Kim has been the consistent winner recently. While Kim and Kanye were together, Stephanie Shepherd was Kim’s personal assistant. During that time, Kanye played matchmaker and introduced Stephanie to his manager (and Apple Music CEO) Larry Jackson. They fell in love and got married this weekend at a star-studded event in Beverly Hills. The bride and groom had to choose between inviting Kanye or Kim, and it was NOT easy. Turns out, Kim scored the invitation to the wedding. We doubt Kanye sent a wedding gift because he was snubbed.

RAPPERS RULE AT PARIS FASHION WEEK

Here are two things you don’t see very often at a Kenzo menswear fashion show in Paris: First we saw Cardi B’s rough and tumble husband Offset, wearing Kenzo flower print denim with a BABUSHKA! We remember babushkas from Chicago – older Polish and Russian women wore these headscarves tied under the chin. Looks like Babushkas are a thing with rappers now… Also in the crowd outside the Kenzo show, it was nice to see new Louis Vuitton Creative Director Pharrell Williams and his wife Helen dressed head to toe in Kenzo THEMSELVES – supporting another designer! We’ve never seen THAT before. Pharrell is making lots of friends on his new job…

KIM CATTRALL MIGHT GET THE LAST LAUGH

As you know we were the first to tell you that despite all that infighting, Kim Cattrall was set to make a guest appearance on And Just Like That. Kim’s cameo in this season’s finale is expected to bring in HUGE ratings. If these predictions are correct, my source reveals Kim will likely be BACK in season 3! Cynthia Nixon’s character Miranda has moved to LA this season and films her scenes separately from the original cast. Kim could come back for a few more appearances with the explanation that her character lives outside of New York, so she would NOT have to film with the others. My source insists that if the ratings deliver, Kim could earn millions of dollars just to appear in a few episodes next season – and she’d never have to come in contact with her costars…

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

This isn’t as scandalous as our typical blind items but it’s still a LITTLE naughty, so we decided to keep you guessing. This multi-talented actress likes to brag about her southern cooking skills. She often hosts luncheons for her close knit group of celebrity girlfriends, and they  rave about her famous ham salad. What her guests don’t know is -her secret ingredient is BABY FOOD! She combines jars of Gerber puréed ham with cubed pieces of deli ham and some relish and her unsuspecting guests gobble it up! THAT’S the reason she refuses to share her “secret family recipe “ with anyone. How do we know? One of our sources is connected to someone on her staff! We can’t help but wonder what her fancy A-list friends would think if they found out they’ve been feasting on – baby food…

GUESS WHO!!!

MEGHAN MARKLE GOT A BETTER OFFER?

Deals, deals, deals. Much ado was made over the rumor that Meghan Markle was going to be the spokesmodel for Dior, but the rumor turned out NOT to be true since both the fashion giant and Meghan denied it. While that tidbit didn’t pan out, my source revealed that Meghan might wind up with a lucrative fashion deal after all – on QVC! Sounds improbable, but the shopping network has had some big names hawk their merchandise – including Katy Perry. A line designed by Meghan could easily become a huge moneymaker. The source explained that Meghan and Harry are open to almost any possibility that could pad their bank account- and affordable, eco-friendly items would work with their brand. It could happen!

RIHANNA AND ASAP ROCKY SHOW OFF THEIR LOUIS VUITTON STYLE

Like we told you, Louis Vuitton will DEFINITELY never be the same! Looks like every self-respecting performer in the rap world turned up in Paris to celebrate Pharrell Williams’ first collection as Creative Director of the label. And he dressed most of the celebrities in his own designs. Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are pictured here returning to their fancy Hotel de Crillon following the after-party. She’s wearing a custom 3 piece LV outfit with the jacket tied around her hips. Rihanna likes to flaunt her tummy when she’s pregnant. Rocky is wearing an LV baseball jacket decorated with pearl brooches. The show was declared a triumph for Pharrell Williams…

NOT THE SAME OLD LOUIS VUITTON

 

Louis Vuitton presented their spring menswear collection in Paris and it’s a whole new world thanks to their new Creative Director- Pharrell Williams. A crowd of celebrities gathered outside and we had to look twice at what we thought was Kim Kardashian in her blonde wig. But it turned out to be Beyonce in LV satin pajamas! There IS a resemblance. On second thought it couldn’t be Kim – she’d NEVER wear such a loose fitting outfit. We located Kim inside (in a tight bodysuit) sitting next to a scary version of Jared Leto. Did he shave his eyebrows off? He’s been looking more and more like a freaked out Jesus…

CHRIS PINE HAD A MAKEOVER

Chris Pine turned up at the ZEGNA luxury menswear show in Milan along with Andrew Garfield and several handsome Italian actors -they were outside the location before the show started, posing for photos. Looks like Zegna offered them a deal they couldn’t refuse and they became walking ads for the label. It’s apparent that Chris had a total makeover because he never looked more refined. He is usually seen dashing around Los Feliz wearing baggy shorts or sweats with Birkenstocks, going to and from yoga classes, etc. Zegna not only dressed him but they blew out his hair and trimmed his usually scraggly beard. Those mint green linen pleated pants with the tan t-shirt make him look VERY Italian. Apparently the brown leather loafers hurt so he took them off. Watch for Chris’s next film  Poolman – he not only co-wrote it, he produced, directed, and stars in it!

ADAM LAMBERT IS THE MODERN LIBERACE

This how Adam Lambert looked while walking around New York this week and we couldn’t help being reminded of Liberace! Back in the 1960’s, Liberace was an extremely flamboyant Las Vegas entertainer with a penchant for fur coats, glittery sport jackets, and feather CAPES. He also flaunted a lacquered high pompadour – comparable to Adam’s hair. Liberace insisted he was NOT gay his entire life. He even sued a UK paper for implying he WAS, and won a considerable amount of money. Before he died Liberace was sued by a 22 year old ex-boyfriend/chauffeur for palimony and they settled out of court. Adam, who never leaves the house without eyeliner, waited until after he LOST on American Idol to talk about being gay. Would he have confessed if he had WON first place on the show? Probably…

SCOTT DISICK NEEDS CHEERING UP

Now that Kourtney Kardashian is having a baby with her husband Travis Barker, her family has been constantly checking up on her ex, Scott Disick. It’s no secret that Scott has been heartbroken ever since Kourtney married Travis. According to our source, he always held out hope that one day they’d get back together. Now that Kourtney is pregnant with Travis’s baby, the Kardashians fear that this could put the already fragile and depressed Scott over the edge. He also looks like he’s packed on more than a few pounds. When they’re not in front of all the cameras that follow them around, the Kardashians are doing everything they can to keep Scott’s spirits up.
