ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER : HE’S BACK

Arnold Schwarzenegger took two of his sons (Patrick and Christopher) and his cute girlfriend Heather Milligan to Munich, Germany, for his favorite party every year,  Oktoberfest. It’s a huge two week event at Munich fairgrounds, with wild rides, fireworks, and numerous “beer” tents, described as the world’s largest folk festival. Arnold takes his fun seriously so he made sure everyone was dressed right – men dress for this occasion in lederhosen- vintage leather pants to the knee and leather jacket— what peasants used to wear to hunt in the mountains. Women wear dirndl skirts with a puffy blouse (cleavage encouraged) – like bar maids. This year is especially festive due to a two year Corona break.

DON’T BET ON THIS NEW JOHNNY DEPP “GIRLFRIEND”

Don’t count on this Johnny Depp romance with his lawyer from the UK panning out to be a real thing. Joelle Rich, 37, is being touted as Johnny’s new girlfriend according to US magazine. She met Johnny, 59, when her London legal team lost his libel case against The Sun there. She was later seen in the courtroom with Johnny’s legal team in Fairfax, Virginia, when he sued Amber Heard. The trial ended June 1, and there is no evidence that they have been seen together again. Johnny has been in Europe touring and enjoying some success with his band and while on the road, he was briefly linked to an unidentified “red-headed mystery woman.” Tabloids there have yet to come up with any info about Johnny and Joelle and they are VERY nosey and persistent…

PETE DAVIDSON ON THE RED CARPET BEFORE & AFTER KIM KARDASHIAN

Yes, Pete Davidson bent over backwards to live up to then-girlfriend Kim Kardashian’s fashion standards- especially when they went to the Met Gala. He actually put on a suit and tie- although it was loose, and we can catch a glimpse of his stomach tattoo peeking out. He was WAY more comfortable in sweats promoting his new film with Kaley Cuoco called Meet Cute.

LANDON BARKER KNOWS WHAT GIRLS WANT

At first glance at the above photo taken at NOBU, we wondered who is that tall blonde girl? Closer inspection revealed that this is not a blonde girl – it’s a guy – specifically Landon Barker, the 18 year old son of Travis Barker, husband of Kourtney Kardashian. Young Landon is not going in the macho style direction of his father. It appears he’s more inspired style-wise by Timothee Chalamet and Harry Styles in the less masculine demeanor bordering on non-binary look that girls love. The platinum blonde hair and off -the- shoulder sweater combined with a dash of lip gloss is a girl magnet nowadays. That’s what girls want – sweet, non-threatening males they can share beauty secrets with. Note the cute girlfriend, Charli D’Amelio.

SAM AFFLECK IS ONE LUCKY KID

It’s not often that you see a movie star take her child to school almost every day and pick him up after school. But that’s what Jennifer Garner has always done- first with her daughters, Violet and Seraphina, and now with her youngest son, 10 year old Sam. Garner always wanted her kids to have lives as normal as possible. She’s very involved in their schools and delivers them to after school activities herself. When she divorced Ben Affleck in 2015, she remained friends and continues to include him in their children’s lives. Her kids don’t know how lucky they are! Sam looks a lot like his mom, but he had Ben’s chin dimple.

SHERYL LEE RALPH: THE TRUTH COMES OUT

Emmy winner Sheryl Lee Ralph has been reminiscing about career advice that Robert De Niro gave her when they filmed Mistress in 1992. Suddenly I remembered a fun experience I had with Sheryl. Back in the early 90’s I was writing the gossip column for Star magazine and a security guard from a fancy NY hotel called with a story. The guard was laughing and said that Robert De Niro just had a tantrum in the hotel lobby. It was after 10 o’clock and the hotel had a strict rule: nobody goes upstairs unless they have a key (that means NO visitors) UNLESS person renting room comes down to lobby to bring visitor up. De Niro wanted to go UP immediately to visit someone and called for the manager. The manager insisted – the person De Niro wanted to visit HAD to come down and get him. Loud complaints and “Don’t you know who I AM?” followed – furious De Niro made phone calls. Finally Sheryl Lee Ralph came down in the elevator in a negligee and brought de Niro up to her room. I loved the story, but when it came out, De Niro called Star’s editor and tried to get me fired, threatened to sue Star AND the hotel – he denied everything. The editor was satisfied the story was true and stood his ground. De Niro didn’t take action and a couple of years later I ran into Sheryl Lee Ralph and reminded her of the incident. She was delightful and laughed out loud – admitting it was absolutely TRUE! I loved her for that – De Niro, not so much…

MADONNA: STILL ON THE PROWL

Madonna is wasting no time in the hunt for a new boyfriend. Dressed to kill as usual, she turned up at the Don’t Worry Darling after-party at the Bowery Hotel. It’s interesting to note that she now carries a small cross-body purse when she goes out clubbing- something she wasn’t in the habit of doing before. Not sure if she arrived with this guy in black, but she left with him, and he looks like her type…

TIMOTHEE CHALAMET HAS GOT WHAT GIRLS WANT

Is this is how the #MeToo movement has affected a new generation of actors? Gradually it’s become hip to identify with non-binary- not too masculine and not too feminine. Heterosexual Timothee Chalamet personifies the less masculine demeanor that girls his age love. He played a gay teen in Call Me by Your Name and it made him a star. (Before #MeToo, if a male star played a gay role it was career suicide.) Timothee wore a gender-fluid women’s lace Vuitton jacket without a shirt to the Oscars, and a red backless halter top to the Venice Film Festival. He’s currently promoting his film Bones and All in which he plays a bisexual cannibal, on the cover of British Vogue. And he’s the first man to grace that cover without a female. Hyper-masculine movie stars (like Tom Hardy) should consider themselves warned! Keep in mind Brad Pitt is already wearing skirts…

KANYE WEST HAS NO USE FOR BOOKS

It was no surprise when Kanye West announced that he was “a proud non-reader of books.” Anyone who has ever read his social media posts filled with awful grammar is aware of his educational shortcomings. Of course he wants YOU to buy and read the book of his “philosophies” that he “co-wrote,” called Thank You & You’re Welcome. Kanye calls himself a genius and CLAIMS he went to college – specifically American Academy of Art in Chicago, and Chicago State University (I’m from Chicago and never heard of either school. Are they accredited? ) Apparently he left the art school after a few months and started at the University where his mother happened to be an English professor. He left there in a hurry also. It’s not easy to be a student if you don’t read books!

KIM KARDASHIAN WANTS TO COOL OFF

Not sure if it was that 100 degree plus heat wave earlier this month in Hidden Hills that drove Kim Kardashian to purchase a beach house, but she DID. In a big way, according to Dirt. Kim paid 70.4 million for a 7500 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 5.5 bath estate in Malibu. The lushly landscaped 3 acre property is the biggest Malibu sale this year. Her kids are going to be thrilled – besides an ocean view, the place has stairs leading down to it’s own secluded beach. Kanye might not be so happy – the house is almost 15 miles from his Brutalist Malibu home, so they won’t be neighbors…
