NOTE THE RESEMBLANCE: TIMOTHEE CHALAMET AND HIS SISTER PAULINE

Apparently Pauline Chalamet has the same fashion connections as her younger brother, heartthrob Timothee Chalamet, because she’s dressed head to toe in Thom Browne, one of HIS favorite designers. Timothee’s lookalike sister (she’s four years older) is currently starring in the HBO Max show Sex Lives of College Girls. Surprisingly, is was SHE who started acting before Timothee did – with a role on One Life to Live and several independent films. She’s been living in Paris for seven years and only commutes for acting jobs.

JULIA ROBERTS: THE ULTIMATE TRIBUTE TO A FRIEND

Genuine friendships between heterosexual men and women are relatively rare these days, but it’s clear that Julia Roberts and George Clooney have the real thing. Julia was set to talk about award recipient George at the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington DC and she connived with her stylist Elizabeth Stewart to have THIS satin gown designed by Jeremy Scott at Moschino. It has framed headshots of George from the very beginning of his career to now, all over it. A brilliant idea from one true friend to another. Julia describes George as “a gentleman and a playmate.”

HOW DESPERATE WAS BRITTNEY GRINER?

Before Brittney Griner was released, we all read about the horrible medieval conditions in the Russian penal colony she was sent to. Besides not speaking the language, 16 hour work days, often 7 days a week at the sewing machines, 3 toilets for 100 women, plus psychological torture- if someone did something wrong, EVERYONE was punished. Scary, but what REALLY illustrated the misery of that prison was the fact that Brittney chose to cut off her dreadlocks because after she took a shower it was SO cold that they FROZE stiff …and she had a long winter ahead.

SIMON COWELL’S LITTLE SECRET

Okay, we have to confess- Male Vanity is one of our all-time favorite subjects. So when we see an excellent example of it, we just have to point it out. Simon Cowell was walking around on a chilly day in London, enjoying his weight loss and displaying his chest, as usual. What interested US, of course, is this photo that clearly reveals his elevator shoes. He has these pointy booties custom made at considerable expense, to give himself an extra three inches of height and figures that no one is aware, but WE are! And now you are too …

CARDI B : THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT

The singer with the five inch nails, Cardi B, just confessed that she had 95% of her butt biopolymers (fillers) removed last summer. (She has admitted to having butt and breast enhancement). She went on to advise girls – especially skinny teens like she was- NOT to get butt implants. Apparently she thinks it did not work out well for her. It’s strange, because she has NOT explained how she has the SAME shape after this massive removal!

FUTURE IS PLAYING IT SAFE

If you ever doubted that the handsome rapper Future is a big-time player, here’s proof. According to Mediatakeout, Future bought a 16.3 million dollar waterfront mansion not long ago in Miami that he shares with his family and special girlfriends. Recently he also purchased a 6000 sq foot 7.5 million dollar ocean view apartment-also in Miami- loaded with amenities (somehow you can see your cars from a living room window!) and it offers total privacy coming and going. This place is for his “side chicks!” or one-night-stands. The website says that he got the money for these investments by selling his music catalog for 70 million dollars.

JOHN LEGEND HAS CONNECTIONS

When it comes to buttering up people in high places, John Legend is no slouch. He recently caused quite a commotion when his expensive Porsche was stolen outside a recording studio. The thief was caught, his Porsche was returned, and the case was accused of getting “preferential treatment” from the LA District Attorney’s office because he supported and raised a lot of money for the unpopular DA George Gascon’s re-election. (he lost) The Porsche incident was described as “a slap in the face” to other crime victims. Legend is in the habit of giving his support to DA’s in other states too. Last week he was at the star-studded White House State Dinner for French President Emmanuel Macron, rubbing elbows with more influential people who might “appreciate” his support…

BEST DRESSED: WINNIE HARLOW

Wow! English model Winnie Harlow knocked ‘em dead at the British Fashion Awards 2022 in this amazingly futuristic outfit that suits the occasion. The whole thing looks so perfect on her unique skin tones that we imagine it was custom designed for her. It looks like a sheer one piece bodysuit under a cutout bodysuit with metallic touches. Her shoes are anti-gravity wedges without heels! How encouraging it is to see something we haven’t seen before!

MORE BARBIES THAN WE EVER IMAGINED

There’s an estate sale happening in Los Angeles this weekend and we saw lots of advance photos of the stuff on sale- this was a Barbie doll collector! We had NO idea there were SO many Barbies of SO many kinds produced over the years! Some are even copies of dead movie stars. How about Barbie Loves Elvis? Or James Dean in his red jacket? Little did we know there was a Harley-Davidson Barbie doll! And how about Barbie and Ken dressed for a Star Trek mission! The collection also has Barbie through the years- above you can see  Barbie in the Fabulous Forties and she has rolled hair and shoulder pads. We love them ALL! And none of these dolls have ever been played with- that’s almost a shame…

KIRSTIE ALLEY: A SLAVE TO SCIENTOLOGY

Have to admit we were shocked and saddened by the sudden loss of Kirstie Alley. We always WANTED to like Kirstie (loved her on Cheers) but Scientology got in the way. We remember when Kirstie talked about the mass shooting in Las Vegas. Scientologists have an inexplicable hatred of psychiatrists and Kirstie said she believed that since violence is a common side effect of psychiatric drugs, (her words, not mine) the the mass shooting was likely due to psychiatric drug use – not guns! She also cut off her friendship with her Dancing with the Stars partner Maks because he was friendly with Jennifer Lopez, and Jennifer was friendly with anti-Scientologist Leah Remini. Sad, but true.
