BEST DRESSED THIS WEEK: RACHEL WEISZ

Yet ANOTHER remake? We were NOT thrilled to learn that David Cronenberg’s 1988 film Dead Ringers had been rebooted for Amazon Prime, starring Rachel Weisz. BUT this particular remake is different – because Jeremy Irons played the original leading characters, who happened to be twin obstetricians. THIS time around, the film’s leads are played by a woman- Rachel Weisz – and the film had an all-female writing team. Hence, quite a different point of view! Worth checking out – and Rachel looks sensational in New York promoting the film…

JAMIE FOXX NEEDS A MIRACLE

Don’t assume from this photo that things are OK with Jamie Foxx. He’s been hospitalized for 3 weeks with a mystery medical condition. Jamie recently started posting to his social media accounts, BUT the innocuous posts were probably written by a member of his team – HIS would have been clever. Even Jamie’s longtime friends are being kept in the dark about his condition. A friend of Jamie’s inner circle says that calls and messages from Jamie’s close friends are NOT being answered. (Katie Holmes can get no info) WHY? While everyone is hoping for a miracle, it’s likely the situation is far more dire than is being disclosed. The movie he was filming when he was stricken, Back in Action, has resumed filming with a lookalike! THAT doesn’t happen often. Today a friend of Jamie’s declared on Facebook that Jamie has actually been in a coma for three weeks.

E. JEAN CARROLL WON’T LET TRUMP GET AWAY WITH IT

 

This one is a bit tricky since it involves an alleged rape and the last thing we want to do is victim shame.  E. Jean Carroll, the woman accusing Donald Trump of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990’s, recently took the stand in the tantalizing trial looking different.  Before the trial, she changed her hairstyle back to how she wore it when she alleges the rape occurred.  An associate pointed out that up until recently, Carroll sported a sensible short hairstyle (above left) with a sprinkling of gray, but she showed up at trial with a blonde bob cut, much like her look in the 1990’s – and she appears  younger .  The associate speculates that this is a direct response to Trump’s insulting claims that she was “NOT HIS TYPE.”  The insider says the short hair made E. Jean look a bit plain, but the longer bob has softened and feminized her appearance –  and perhaps beefed up her courage…

FUNNY- HE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A CHEF!

We see a lot of photos of former Spice Girl Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, but not so many pics of “Baby Spice” Emma Bunton. We love this photo of Emma and her husband Jade Jones on their way to a festive party in the UK. Jones was lead singer of the 90’s boy band Damage, and he and Emma have been together since ’98. Jade always loved food and he studied and became a successful chef – currently working at the prestigious 5 star hotel Claridges, (although you’d never guess it by looking at him!) Emma and Jade have two sons together and they finally married in 2021. Cute couple…

PRINCE HARRY OWES OPRAH A BIG FAVOR!

It’s Oprah Winfrey to the rescue! Prince Harry is headed to London for his father, King Charles’ coronation, but the spare royal isn’t planning to stick around. An insider reveals that Harry was having trouble finding commercial flights that worked with his desired schedule, so his good pal and Montecito, California neighbor Oprah offered him her private jet! Now Harry plans to leave just in time to make the coronation and he’ll return hours after his dad is officially crowned King to celebrate his son’s birthday. The insider says it Harry’s entire round trip including travel time will be less than 72 hours!

OUR MET GALA FASHION PREDICTION FOR MEN

Every year at the Met Gala we’ve seen the trains on women’s gowns get longer and more elaborate as female celebrities walk up that long staircase- almost to the point of being ridiculous. Men’s clothing designers have been watching and urging the bolder men they design for to become more open-minded and consider trains for their own attire. This year ASAP Rocky wore a plaid kilt skirt with a long appendage in the back and P Diddy wore a long and abundant cape that dragged behind. Rappers seem to have the audacity to pull off wearing a garment with a train first (weren’t they first to wear pearl necklaces?) and we predict at least one rapper will have a train next year!

WHAT GOT INTO JANELLE MONAE?

Fashion icon Janelle Monae is one of our favorites and an elegant eyeful at every event she attends. Thom Browne LOVES her courageous choices and designs extreme things for her that most people would hesitate to wear. (note the boots) Janelle wore a fabulous outfit to the Met Gala and changed into this skimpier ensemble for the after-parties. Looks like the usually composed actress is REALLY cutting loose on the street outside as she entered Standard party. We wonder what went on INSIDE…

KARDASHIAN KIDS DREAM ABOUT ATTENDING THE MET GALA SOMEDAY…

Apparently Scott Disick is generously babysitting his daughter Penelope Disick, 10, and Kim’s daughter North West, 9, in NY while the rest of the family prepares for the Met Gala. We imagine that Scott is more than a little annoyed that HE is the only adult in the family NOT invited the the Gala. Penelope and North are both carrying Chanel bags  (!) – worth around $3000 each- so they NEED to be watched. The girls are probably wearing some expensive clothes also -and eagerly anticipating the day when THEY will attend the event and flaunt their finery.

DUA LIPA CAN SIZE UP A ROOM QUICKLY

We have to admire Dua Lipa’s sense of balance. She’s wearing a Marc Jacobs sweater dress with platform shoes that look to be at least 8 or 10 inches tall! One shaky step and she could easily break an ankle. The singer is on her way to Anna Wintour’s pre-Met Gala party in NY and since Dua is already 5’8”, she will tower over most people at the event…perhaps giving her a social advantage.

PETE DAVIDSON ENJOYS BEING IN CHARGE FOR A CHANGE

 

 

 

He seems to be Hollywood’s rebound boyfriend, but now Pete Davidson is hoping turn his latest romance with actress Chase Sui Wonders into something permanent.  According to a friend of the former SNL star, Pete now believes his last romances didn’t work since his exes were either much richer, more famous or both. Despite his success, he was usually the plus one to  the likes of Ariana Grande or Kim Kardashian.  Things are different with Chase since Pete is the one with more star power. They met last year when they filmed the horror movie Bodies, Bodies, Bodies.  (Chase is quite a catch- she happens to have graduated from Harvard with honors)  Pete is confiding to pals that she’s the one.  He’s been quietly looking at engagement rings and seems ready to pop the question sometime this year.
