“ONE DAY AT A TIME” IS COMING BACK …AGAIN?

An updated version of the popular 70’s sitcom One Day at a Time just MIGHT be coming back as Another day at a Time. The series was considered groundbreaking for the era – featuring a single working mom with two daughters, covering topics like divorce and premarital sex. Netflix retooled the series in 2017, keeping the title, but not much else – it only lasted a few seasons. (Costars Bonnie Franklin and Pat Harrington have passed on.) This time the plan is to bring back “sisters” Mackenzie Phillips and Valerie Bertinelli as senior citizens who move in together when their husbands pass away and kids move out. Hmmm… now it reminds us of The Golden Girls …

OPRAH’S BUDDIES HAVE ASPIRATIONS

WHAT has Oprah unleashed upon us! First, Dr Oz ran for the U.S. Senate and we were afraid he might get elected simply because Oprah made him such a well-known celebrity. Turns out, she didn’t agree with him politically, and he was not elected. Now Oprah’s OTHER protege, Dr Phil, is secretly gearing up to run for the Senate also! But not in his home state Texas, where Ted Cruz will run for re-election. Dr Phil’s plan is to buy a home in the state where he feels he has the best chance of winning, and become a candidate there. Oprah doesn’t see eye to eye with Dr Phil politically either, so don’t expect to see her on the campaign trail. Can he get elected without her?

JUSTIN BIEBER: HARD UP FOR MONEY?

Justin Bieber might be having more problems than just his health. He’s in the process of negotiating to sell his songwriting catalog- worth around $200 million. But the money will have to be divided among numerous collaborators. Justin rarely writes songs alone. Most musicians who sell their catalogs are very established and much older than Justin – like Springsteen or Dylan -and they get much more money. Roger Friedman at Showbiz 411 speculates that Bieber might be selling because he needs the cash. Musicians make their money touring these days and Justin has cancelled his last two tours for health reasons. By the way, we cannot find a single photo of Justin Bieber without a hat since last February when he had a buzz cut. WHAT is going on under all those hats?

SOME ROCKSTARS LIVE BETTER THAN OTHERS

Not a lot of rockstars have homes that appear in Architectural Digest, but Guns N’Roses drummer Matt Sorum has an advantage. His wife Ace Harper was NOT a groupie – she happens to be a designer – both fashion and home interiors. The couple bought a weekend getaway house in Palm Springs that she remodeled and refurnished – and it includes a cozy outdoor theater – perfect for those warm evenings…

CHARLIE SHEEN WANTS TO HELP KANYE

You know things are bad when Charlie Sheen offers to help! Who can forget when Charlie went off the rails and was ranting about tiger blood, winning, and all things crazy. Charlie cleaned up his act and got the help he needed and now he wants to pay it forward and help Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. According to an insider, Charlie is concerned about Kanye, and having gone down a similar path of crazy, he wants to help him get his life in order. They have some mutual friends and while many of their beliefs don’t align, Charlie still feels bad for Kanye and has reached out to help. CAN he?

BETTE MIDLER’S LIPS ARE NOT SEALED

Bette Midler and her husband Martin von Haselberg are separating, but only for the sake of his art. According to an insider, their marriage is rock solid, but Martin (who is a performance artist) demands complete silence when he’s working on his art and -let’s face it – chatterbox Bette is anything but quiet. With Bette’s approval, Martin has been looking for a pied a terre in West Hollywood, California, (not far from their LA home) so he can escape his noisy domicile and work on his art, and occasionally sleep there.

BRAD PITT HAS A KNACK FOR DESIGN

There’s a perk to being a friend of Brad Pitt. He loves to advise pals when it comes to doing renovations to the interior of their homes. Brad has been very interested in architecture and design for years and has worked extensively on his own houses. A female friend decided to update her main bathroom and Brad offered to design it. She was thrilled and let him do whatever he wanted, but the result was “surprising.” $80,000 later she found herself with a huge “wet room” – a totally waterproofed room of tile and concrete with no separation from the shower. It’s quite modern and minimalist, but VERY masculine, with little regard for mirrors or female frivolities. The woman was so excited to have a bathroom designed by Brad Pitt that she puts up with all the stark inconveniences…

CHRISTIE BRINKLEY: THIS IS WHAT 68 LOOKS LIKE TODAY!

Can you believe it? Keep in mind this is a paparazzi photo taken of Christie Brinkley in NY yesterday – (attention Kardashians!) That means NO filters or photoshopping! You might ask HOW is this physically possible? The former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model (the only woman with 3 consecutive covers in a row) claims the secret to her undiminished beauty is the fact that she exfoliates her face every day and has a healthy lifestyle. We happen to think there’s more to it than THAT, and hope that someday she and Jaclyn Smith will get together and collaborate on a book about aging beautifully with ALL the details…

NICOLE KIDMAN: BAD HAIR DAY

Nice to see that even Nicole Kidman has an occasional BAD HAIR DAY. Of course Nicole never has a bad FACE day, so a minor hair struggle is no big thing. The Big Little Lies star does change her looks a lot – back and forth from red hair to blonde hair and straight and curly hair. Bad hair day or not- Nicole is always polite to paparazzi. Here she was captured with Keith, visiting her mother in Sydney.
