DANNY THOMAS AND HIS DAUGHTER MARLO

We love this vintage photo (Classic Movies Digest) of Danny Thomas hugging his 13 year old daughter Marlo Thomas on the set of “I’ll See You in My Dreams”  in 1951. The caption described “That Girl” Marlo as pre-nosejob – which is very apparent. But since AI slithered into our lives, we can’t help but wonder  – is this cute photo for real? Can we trust ANY photo these days?  What do you think?

YOU CAN HAVE ALYSA LIU’S SMILE

Not only is Olympic Gold Medalist Alysa Liu a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton, she’s also offering the fashion house her ideas – and they’re LISTENING.  The 20-year-old skater has a HUGE following, especially among the under 30 crowd, and that’s the consumer Louis Vuitton is hoping to appeal to.  Alysa is noted for her frenulum piercing (it’s called a smiley and goes through the skin that attaches her upper lip to her gums) and she couldn’t wait to design one for the fashion house.  It’s a first for LV, but production has already begun, and  the piercings will soon be available to you in both surgical steel and gold!  My fashion source says a Alysa is also working with the creative directors on other unique products – including a very limited edition of ice skates.

KNOX JOLIE-PITT DOESN’T TAKE HIMSELF TOO SERIOUSLY

He’ll be 18 next month, and Knox Jolie- Pitt still has his father Brad Pitt’s last name, while most of his siblings have dropped it.  He also happens to bear a strong resemblance to his handsome father and  we were surprised when he boldly had his hair dyed orange.  He MUST have a sense of humor!  What do you think?

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The series finale of Euphoria was a big story this week, and up until recently the fate of the show remained unclear.  Here’s what we know.  The show’s biggest star Zendaya was the one who called it quits, deciding that while she was grateful that the show made her a star ( and was the catalyst for her Best Actress Emmy) she had enough with TV, and wanted to focus on movies.  Producers planned to continue with Sydney Sweeney as the new main star, but her sex charged storyline this season didn’t resonate with viewers, so producers decided to pull the plug – even though one more season was already in the works.

 

The man formerly known as Prince Andrew was in the news after being photographed with a black eye.  Our royal source tells us this.  Some people around Andrew fear he’s turned to the bottle to ease his misery, and the word on the street is that he got the shiner after a bender and fell on his hard bathroom floor.  Some closest to him are urging him to check into rehab, but thus far he’s resisting and refusing to even entertain the idea that he has a problem.

 

Donald Trump made the news when a federal judge ordered his name be removed from the Kennedy Center and we can tell you this.  Donald isn’t about to give up splashing his name all over Washington DC. Now that a judge ordered it removed from the Kennedy center, he’s floating the idea of building his OWN center for performing arts and name it after himself. Don’t be too surprised when he talks about his plans in the upcoming weeks.

 

Bravo boss Andy Cohen made the news when he was photographed holding hands in Miami, with his boyfriend businessman Kevin Subieski.  We can tell you this. For the most part, Andy has been unlucky in love for the majority of his adult life, but this time around he’s telling friends that he’s hit the jackpot and is planning to marry Kevin this summer in the Hamptons. Andy has a house there and he recently proposed to Kevin so the lovebirds have already started making plans to host their wedding at Andy’s home over Labor Day weekend.  Expect a lot of Bravo stars including his favorite Housewives.

 

The late Matthew Perry was in the news regarding an upcoming auction of his possessions to benefit his foundation. The part that made headlines was when a private letter that Jennifer Aniston wrote him back when they costarred on Friends, was abruptly pulled from the auction. We can tell you this. Jennifer was horrified that her private words were even considered to be auctioned off, so she reached out to Matthew’s family and offered to make a generous donation to his foundation. She wrote a hefty check, and the letter was returned to her.

 

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and local socialite Kathy Hilton made the news when it was announced she was abruptly being replaced as the grand marshal of the West Hollywood gay parade scheduled for Sunday, June 7. The official word was that some were upset with Kathy because she previously used a gay slur and has been friends with Donald Trump, but we are hearing a different story. Our source says that Kathy had a run-in with one of the event’s organizers, and the war of words quickly escalated into her eventually getting dumped as the grand marshal.  My source says Kathy is far from heartbroken over losing the honorary role, and is thrilled she doesn’t have to deal with the person she clashed with.

 

Former reality star Spencer Pratt made the news when he came in second in the Los Angeles mayoral race and now he’s headed for a runoff with current mayor Karen Bass.  Here’s what we know.  Win or lose, Spencer has already accomplished what he set out to do: resurrect himself from obscurity.  As we previously reported, offers for a new reality show are coming in and now we can tell you that Spencer is also launching a new podcast.  That’s not all.  He also been offered a job on Fox News as on-camera political contributor, which he plans on taking if he loses the mayoral race.

MARC JACOBS WANTS A REALITY SHOW

Designer Marc Jacobs is coming to Bravo – well – if he gets his way, that is.  Marc has been in the public eye for decades (he’s been designing clothes since the mid 1980’s) but for the most part, shunned the spotlight.  His pal, Sofia Coppola convinced him to let her do a documentary on him and that changed his opinion about being in front of the camera – now he can’t get enough. According to my source, Marc has pitched his buddy Andy Cohen an idea for a reality series based on his chaotic world and Andy loves the concept.  Details are still being worked out, but don’t be too surprised if Marc pops up on his own Bravo series in the future.  (Above, Marc and Sofia)

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

This should be the happiest time in our gal’s life since she landed the rich and powerful man of her dreams, but she’s hiding a deep dark secret.  You see, our pretty woman isn’t exactly who she claims to be – early in her life she was a high priced call girl to some of the world’s wealthiest men.  Her former clients wouldn’t dare reveal her secret because they have more to lose than she does, but a former friend is threatening to go public.  Long story short, our gal is being blackmailed. She knows her new relationship would be OVER if her man found out about her colorful past, so she’s been doing what she can to keep her friend quiet.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Our international superstar is having a real Sophie’s Choice moment involving one of his children.  He doesn’t talk much about his faith, but he’s deeply religious and doesn’t approve of homosexuality.  He’s smart enough to keep his controversial beliefs private because he doesn’t want to alienate his fans, but behind closed doors he’s a religious zealot. He recently discovered that one of his children has homosexual tendencies so he tried to convince them to undergo conversion therapy to pray away the gay. His child rejected the radical idea and now our guy is completely estranged from them.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Our career climbing actress got her big break on a popular show which earned her fame, fortune, and career recognition, but that doesn’t mean she’s loyal.  Although she originally agreed to a longer run on the series, she decided she had outgrown the role, and recently informed producers that she was leaving – even though her contract obligated her for several more seasons.  After a few closed door meetings, producers agreed to let her out of her original contract and here’s why.  She’s very connected to some of the most powerful people in Hollywood, and she threatened to call in some favors and hinted that she could make the producers’ lives miserable unless she got her way.

HEATHER LOCKLEAR SPILLS THE BEANS

Heather Locklear was a guest on Hollywood and Divine, the podcast hosted by Dru Hammer ( Armie’s mom) and former entertainment writer John Luciano, and only we can tell you what wound up on the cutting room floor!  According to our source, while Dru questioned Heather about her faith, John asked her the personal questions, including WHO was the best lover she ever had!  Heather paused, and then gushed that while her current boyfriend, Lorenzo Lamas, is a stud, her most memorable romps were with her ex-hubby, Tommy Lee.  The podcast doesn’t air live, so days later Heather asked for that to be edited OUT, since she didn’t want to make Tommy’s current wife, Brittany Furlan, uncomfortable.  Surprisingly, Heather revealed she is actually friendly with both Tommy and Brittany.

BAYWATCH CAST: EASY ON THE EYES, BUT NOT THE EARS

The remake of Baywatch is turning out to be the disaster we had a feeling it might be.  According to our on set source, an acting coach has just been brought in to help the cast learn to act.  The insider explains the series’ stars were basically cast on their LOOKS, not their talent, and now that’s proving to be an issue.  Originally the show was going for established actors (Armie Hammer was being wooed for the lead, but passed)  and they went with mostly models and influencers. While everyone looks good, the dialogue is rumored to be cringe worthy.
