JAMIE LEE CURTIS’S OSCAR GAVE HER CHARITY A BOOST

Let’s face it, Jamie Lee Curtis gives captivating acceptance speeches! (Angela Bassett might not agree) But here’s a nice surprise:  Jamie’s Oscar win is actually helping charity.  She is a founder of My Hand in Yours, a charity benefiting Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. Soon after her Academy Award win, many of the items the charity sells online quickly sold out – especially prints of an autographed photo of Jamie from her successful movie franchises, Halloween. In addition to the $150 signed photos, the charity sells everything from jewelry to candles, scarves to dog bowls, and Jamie has raised over a million dollars for the hospital.

Fair warning girls! Pete Davidson is quietly taking notes! Unassuming Pete has become an enviable ladies man, dating some of the hottest female celebrities  -including Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, Kate Beckinsale, and Emily Ratajkowski. No one is more surprised than Pete! A friend reveals that Pete has kept a journal for years, detailing most of his life experiences, including his time on SNL- as well as his colorful dating history. He has no current plans to write a book, but the friend says he’s hinted that his journals will be a treasure trove of memories if he ever decides to spill the beans in a tell-all.

CHER IS PLANNING THE ALL-TIME GREATEST YARD SALE

If she could turn back time, Cher probably wouldn’t have accumulated a lot of the things in her closets. She’s always been fond of shopping, and designers have given her loads of gifts through the years. As we previously reported, Cher has been cleaning out her Malibu compound and now she’s planning the ultimate yard sale. From Chrome Hearts to Old Navy, Bob Mackie to Macy’s, Cher has decades worth of stuff she’s planning to sell. Don’t think you’ll be able to snoop around her home though, Cher’s looking at venues, including the hangars at Santa Monica Airport, for the perfect place to hold the sale. It’s also for a good cause since Cher’s donating a portion of the proceeds (which she expects will be in the MILLIONS!) to charities (Armenian?) close to her heart. We hope to be first in line for THIS one!

WHY NOT RU PAUL FOR CONGRESS?

RuPaul is ready to sashay his way right into Washington,DC. The gender-bending TV star is upset over the recent anti-drag bills that have been enacted into law in various states. He recently posted to his social media urging people to vote, but that’s only the beginning. Now he’s planning to throw his wig in the ring and run for office…in the conservative state of Wyoming! Ru is 62-years-old and is gearing up for the next chapter of his life – THAT’S why he thinks it’s the perfect time to get political. When he’s not performing in drag, Ru and his husband, Georges LeBar live on a 60,000 acre ranch in Wyoming, so he’s planning to run for a congressional seat from there. We can’t help wondering how he looks as a cowgirl…

WHY DID RIHANNA OPT OUT OF OSCAR NOMINEE EVENT?

What do Rihanna and Jamie Lee Curtis have in common? They’re both currently nominated for Oscars and they’re both skipping the prestigious nominees dinner. While Jamie Lee passed on the event because it would go past her 9pm bedtime, Rihanna said thanks but no thanks for an entirely different reason. She skipped the event because she wasn’t allowed to bring her baby daddy, ASAP Rocky. The annual dinner has a strict NO plus-ones policy because they want nominees to get to know each other. Rihanna understood the rules, but  for SOME reason she couldn’t bear to go alone…

ROBERT DE NIRO IS GETTING INTO THE FOOD BUSINESS

Robert De Niro wants to follow in the footsteps of another Oscar winner, Paul Newman, and branch out from movies to meatballs! With 5 hotels and nearly 50 restaurants in his empire – including numerous locations of Nobu, plus the famed Tribeca Grill, Robert has proven himself in the culinary world. Now he wants to expand his empire to grocery shelves. Robert and his partners are developing a line of products based on their successful restaurants. Imagine soy sauce from Nobu, pasta sauce from his now defunct Ago in Los Angeles, and the spaetzle from Tribeca Grill, available in your local supermarket! We wonder if De Niro’s photo will be on every package…

BRUCE WILLIS DOCUMENTARY IS IN THE WORKS

It’s no secret that Bruce Willis’ wife, Emma Heming and his ex-wife Demi Moore have always been close, growing even closer since Bruce was diagnosed with a form of dementia. They’re now taking their friendship to the next level and are teaming up to produce a documentary on Bruce’s life. It will cover everything from his time on Moonlighting (above) to his more recent health struggles. A friend describes the project as a love letter to Bruce and while no deal has been signed yet, it will likely appear on a streaming service once completed.

WHAT IT’S LIKE NOT TO BE COLIN FARRELL

Colin Farrell is all made up to play his character “The Penguin” in New York and he looks like a whole different person. On this day he knew how it felt to be an unattractive man with no pretty women fluttering around him. Maybe for the first time. We remember back in the early 2000’s when handsome young Colin arrived in Hollywood, he was staying at the Chateau Marmont Hotel. I was writing for Star magazine and hotel employees kept calling me with wild stories about Colin. He was a girl magnet and doing a LOT of drinking and partying. All the young actresses and models loved him – and dated him – including Angelina Jolie, Carmen Electra, Rosario Dawson, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan etc. It never would have happened if he looked like THIS…

HARRY AND MEGHAN’S “EVICTION” COULD BE COSTLY

Now that they’re being evicted from Frogmore Cottage (their official residence in the UK) Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have something to say to his dad, King Charles… SHOW US THE MONEY! The estate was a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth and Harry and Meg spent over $3 million of their own money on renovations, but the paint was barely dry before they hightailed it out of there – eventually settling down in Montecito, California. Charles recently told them to move out so his brother Andrew could move in, and now Harry and Meg want to be reimbursed for the extensive renovations. No sooner did they get the “eviction notice” than Harry reached out to the Royal powers-that-be requesting the money. An insider says this could get ugly and might even wind up in a lawsuit.

OPRAH’S OVER-THE-TOP BIRTHDAY PLANS

It’s almost a year away but Oprah Winfrey has alerted her friends to save the date or actually a whole week next January. Oprah’s turning 70 next January 29 and she’s continuing her tradition of hosting an extravagant birthday soirée every 10 years. Her last blowout bash was when she turned 60, and for 70, she’s planning to outdo herself. She hasn’t decided on the locale, but she already mailed her friends fancy save-the-date cards to give them enough time to plan their schedules accordingly. She’s working with a party planner and possible venues include a cruise, Hawaii, Bora Bora or Africa.(!) Generous Oprah will pick up the tab for EVERYTHING, including transportation, accommodations, food and festivities. We’re DYING to know who’s on that guest list…
