Mariah Carey maintains her true Diva status on the streets of New York no matter what the weather is. As she left an office building dressed in what Mariah considers to be “casual attire,” her doting boyfriend Bryan Tanaka thoughtfully handed her a fan to keep herself cool. Mariah’s bodyguard was waiting outside with an umbrella in case the sun got too hot. All this just to walk to her limo a few steps away…

Why is nobody criticizing Nick Cannon for having 10 children with five or more different women? Since when is this amusing and okay? Nick gets tons of publicity for his unconventional relationships and NONE of it seems to be remotely negative! One has to wonder about these questionable baby-mamas willing to have children with a man with whom they have no ties. You don’t suppose they’re just interested in fame or money, do you? At least Mariah Carey’s twins were born when she and Nick were married. Consider the NAMES some of Nick’s women gave their children: Powerful Queen, Zillion Heir, Legendary Love. No kidding. How can these kids have normal lives? Does excessive procreation make Nick feel like a big macho stud? Will other guys imitate Cannon so THEY can feel like big macho studs?

Rod Stewart posted this photo of himself onstage at a recent concert and he’s in the middle of doing a not-so-flattering impersonation of Elton John – wearing funny glasses and a loud jacket, pretending to play the piano. It was captioned “Still love you, Elt” We didn’t realize the two singers had a long-running playful “feud.” It started in the 70’s when Rod’s billboards for “Blondes Have More Fun” were all over the place – Elton had billboards put up with own picture that said “But Brunettes Make More Money.” Elton got really annoyed when Rod called Elton’s 2018 Farewell Tour “dishonest- just a way to sell tickets!” He was right – Elton is still touring…

Warner Brothers has been fretting nonstop about their big budget extravaganza The Flash because their star Ezra Miller has been getting crazier by the minute. Looks like he cannot be depended upon to promote the film, much less appear in future projects. Ezra’s clashes with police and multiple arrests for bizarre behavior led him to address his own mental problems recently and he vowed to help himself. But no one is talking about Ezra’s OTHER film (not as big budget) called Daliland which really sounds fascinating. Miller stars as young Salvador Dali (Ben Kingsley plays the mature version) and it looks like PERFECT casting. Daliland is set to premier at the Toronto film Festival and Ezra’s name may have been removed from titles. Is he cut from the film? THAT would be a shame because he even LOOKS a little like the surrealistic Dali…

Quite suddenly, Sylvester Stallone has a new bed partner. His wife Jennifer Flavin filed for divorce after Sly brought home a Rottweiler named Dwight. Although Dwight has had professional training, Jennifer was NOT happy with Sly’s fierce and macho dog. She already has three small fluffy pups (above) and she’s justifiably terrified that Dwight might hurt them. Jennifer is SO attached to her dogs that she captioned their photo “my children’s replacement.” (Her three cute daughters are grown up now and pretty much out of the house.) Apparently Dwight was the last straw for the Stallone’s 25 year marriage. The pooch is now free to share Sly’s bed and Jennifer no longer has to endure Sly’s cigar smoke or being asked not to wear high heels…

Variety has just revealed what we already knew- that Will Smith’s career is “in a significant and precipitous decline.” What we didn’t expect is that Jada Pinkett Smith’s public image is also damaged. A company called Q Scores measures celebrity star power and appeal – they stated that Will was one of the top ten most positively rated actors BEFORE the Oscar slap (up there with Tom Hanks etc.) After the slap, Will handled the situation poorly: he made a vague and stiff apology via social media. His handlers realized that wasn’t enough, and pushed him to try and salvage his reputation with a sincere video. Smith’s self-righteous attitude in the video made it evident he was being forced to do it and couldn’t wait to get it over with, although he was saying the things his advisors told him to. He acted like he’s not sorry and never will be. The video was as oblivious to reality as his Oscar behavior. Through it all, Jada was silent and when she FINALLY made a comment, she acted like she was NOT involved and “hopes these two men can reconcile.” It didn’t help HER public image at all. Fans were left wondering if Will is NOT the decent guy they thought he was. The release of Will’s film Emancipation has been postponed until next year.

While we’re on the touchy subject of weight, Diddy comes to mind. Mediatakeout is teasing the billionaire hip hop mogul for living it up to the max this summer on his $100 million dollar yacht sailing the Mediterranean. The yacht is loaded with liquor and a large kitchen staff onboard is ready to prepare whatever indulgences that would please Diddy and his friends. Apparently Diddy has gone overboard when it comes to cuisine, and packed on around 60 pounds. They gleefully CLAIM he is now pushing 300 pounds (!) and posted this photo (above) to illustrate. This week he jumped onstage in Jacksonville, Florida where his current girlfriend, singer Yung Miami, was performing.

Does this face look familiar? She’s starting to look like Madonna or a Kardashian with all that fakery, but it’s actually Lindsay Lohan. The Mean Girls star posted this photos on Instagram and called it “Glam Time.” Lindsay has been living in Dubai since 2018 – she says she loves it because paparazzi are “against the law” there, and she can have a private life. That’s where she met her financier husband Badar Shammas. They got married in June and live in Dubai, but Lindsay is apparently homesick for Hollywood. She has a Christmas movie coming out and she signed up for two Netflix movies filming soon.

This domestically blissful photo of Kathy Griffin and her husband Randy was taken BEFORE last Thursday when she had the lung scan you see below. You might recall that Kathy was diagnosed with stage 1 lung cancer last year, and had a portion of her left lung removed. Last week she had a scan to monitor the condition, but couldn’t get hold of an oncologist to look at it and tell her if it the result was good or bad. (She says her surgeon ghosted her) Kathy posted her scan on Instagram – saying she hoped that one of her readers would show it to an oncologist for an opinion – healthy or not? She got plenty of comments and the results seem to be good – no evidence of disease!

Victoria Beckham has been struggling through the pandemic- not with her weight, which remains size 2, but with her business. Her VB fashion collection has suffered over 50 million dollars in losses in the past couple of years and she’s determined to fix things. Victoria’s personal motto has always been “starve yourself or die trying” and her clothes cater to skinny women. This season, however she needs more customers so she’s added larger sizes to her new collection. She’s offering sizes 4 to 18, which SOUNDS impressive, but when you convert to US sizes, it means size 0 to 14. Victoria SAYS “being skinny is out of style” but we don’t believe she really thinks that…
