RICHARD GERE STILL ISN’T GAY

Along came the pandemic and we forgot all about Richard Gere. He became single in 2016 when his divorce from Carey Lowell was finalized (She remarked that she fell in love with his CHARACTER in An Officer and a Gentleman)- they had a cute son, Homer, who’s 22 now. After dating various pretty young women, Gere, now 72, settled on Spanish publicist/political activist Alejandra Silva (who is 33 years younger than he is) and they got married in 2018. She comes from a wealthy Spanish family and went to school in the US. They already have two young sons – age 2 and 3. The Gere family lives at his NY ranch but they often vacation in Spain. We remember back in the 80’s when Richard’s career was red HOT, that jealous guys liked to insist that Richard was gay, but it turned out they were wrong…

WHY DID DEMI LOVATO GIVE UP HER PRONOUNS?

Judging from this photo, the answer is evident. For a man. Shortly after Demi Lovato announced that we can STOP using those ambiguous “they” and “them” plural pronouns in reference to her, Demi has introduced a new boyfriend- he’s a Canadian punk/rapper named Jute$.   Not only has she changed her pronouns for this guy (in the White Castle t-shirt)  but she is starting to DRESS LIKE HIM! When Demi was dating Wilmer Valderrama or her last boyfriend, Max Ehrich, she dressed like a pretty popstar, but suddenly she’s wearing distressed leather and plaid (and looking rather awkward.) Demi had a bad experience with her ambitious former fiancé Max Ehrich- she felt he was using her to advance his career, and they had a messy split in 2021. By all accounts, Jute$ is a nice guy, but Demi might be going too far to please him.

JUSTIN BIEBER IS NO THREAT TO BALENCIAGA

You’d never guess it was a warm summer LA night by the way Justin Bieber is dressed. He and his wife Hailey (looking hot as usual) were seen leaving Catch Steak last night. Justin’s tan corduroy oversize hoody outfit covered every inch and he wore both hat and hood in the restaurant. To avoid tripping over his way-too-long baggy pants he held them up in the front. Not sure if he’s trying to look like Kanye West and failing or what, but apparently this questionable outfit is from his OWN Drew House fall collection and can be yours for around five or six hundred dollars.

CAN GWYNETH PALTROW SWIM WITH THE SHARKS?

We’ve always enjoyed watching Shark Tank when it pops up somewhere, but the egotistical guys on the show CAN become rather overbearing. Barbara Corcoran and Lori Greiner are the only female regulars and they make the show much more watchable. SO nice to learn that Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow will be appearing as a guest Shark for the 14th season. In fact, she will be on the September 23 show, which will be LIVE. It’s a smart move for producers to pull in younger and female viewers who can identify with her. Young women need to know how Gwyneth went from actress to mogul and they can certainly use the inspiration. She’s come a long way – from dating Brad Pitt to becoming a businesswoman with 200 million dollars in the bank. Not bad…

NOW ALEC BALDWIN IS BLAMING MEDIA FOR HIS DILEMMA

About six weeks after the Rust film shooting, Alec Baldwin remarked that he “didn’t pull the trigger” – that the gun went off by itself – surprising everyone. The FBI checked out the weapon and declared that he DID. Alec INSISTS that he is not responsible for the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and the wounding of director Joel Souza. But Alec is a producer on the film, and HE hired the possibly incompetent armourer (person in charge of set weapons.) Meanwhile, Alec’s wife Hilaria announced she is pregnant with his eighth child. Lawyers doubt that Alec will get jail time, even if he deserves it. But certainly Halyna’s family and probably Joel, will sue Alec for all he’s worth. Recently Alec has been complaining about the LA Times and Hollywood Reporter’s extensive coverage of the event. He thinks they make him look bad…

PAT BENATAR IS TRYING WAY TOO HARD TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT

OK, now we’ve heard everything. Were we the LAST to know that Pat Benatar refuses to perform her hottest song Hit Me With Your Best Shot on tour these days? She says she won’t sing the song “in deference to those affected by mass shootings.” Benatar and her guitar player husband Neil Giraldo have been touring together for decades – she was the big female rocker of the 80’s. But WHAT does her hit song have to do with gun crimes? Hit Me is clearly about a female up to any romantic challenge a new guy could throw her way. She is not an easy conquest. It has NOTHING to do with guns or shooting. Is Pat trying too hard to be socially correct? Of course she is.

THEY ALL SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MADONNA IN SICILY

Madonna is not one to ignore her birthday – even if it happens to be her 64th. She LOVES a big party and flew a boatload of friends to her favorite place in Sicily, an 18th century Sicilian palace, for a lavish celebration. She’s been planning the big day (August 16) for months, according to The Sun, and will spare no expense for the dinner and live band – there HAS to be dancing. This year it will be interesting to see WHO she dances with – she broke up with her dancer boyfriend Ahlamalik Williams a few months ago, and has been on the prowl in fishnet stockings ever since…

IGGY AZALEA IS READY FOR HER COMEBACK

Last year Iggy Azalea announced she was taking a break from performing because she was surrounded by “negative energy.” Boyfriend problems? Obviously she had a change of heart because she hopped onstage during Pitbull’s performance this week in Toronto and sang all her best songs. Turns out, she will be appearing with Pitbull during the rest of his US tour. But something is very DIFFERENT about Iggy now – to be specific- her LOOKS. Gone is the sweet face and innocent blonde curls- Iggy could now pass for a Kardashian! Did she take time off to do something to her face?

TIFFANY HADDISH IS LOOKING FOR A STAND-UP GUY

Have to admit we were HUGELY disappointed in Tiffany Haddish when we heard about her reaction to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. Tiffany swooned that the slap was “the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen!” She went on to explain that she was thrilled to see a Black man stand up for his wife and she was happy to know “There are still men out there who CARE about their women.” We totally disagreed with her point of view, but it led us to start thinking about the men in her life. Maybe she never had a guy who stood up for her! Keep in mind, she had split with her quarantine partner Common shortly before the Oscars and she emphasized that they did NOT break up because of (that old stand-by) “conflicting schedules.” We’re guessing Common just was not a stand-up guy for her. Tiffany also talks about her adventures in real estate in this month’s Cosmopolitan…

SORRY RIHANNA: WORST DRESSED THIS WEEK

Hands down- no competition- Rihanna takes the award for Worst Dressed this week. What WAS she thinking? A woman in the fashion business should know better. Rihanna combined a very short cropped denim micro miniskirt with gigantic baggy boots- granted, there is a peek-a-boo element, but the boots make her look like a truck from every angle. They are probably designer boots that cost a fortune, but why pay a ton of money to look shorter and wider? Grossly unflattering.
