HOLLYWOOD

CAN THIS 16 YEAR OLD BE SAVED?

This is what happens when your mother was Playboy Playmate of the Month. You’d never guess that social media star Alabama Barker is a high school student by looking at her sexy photos. She’s the daughter of beauty queen and former Playmate Shanna Moakler and musician Travis Barker– and now the step-daughter of Kourtney Kardashian. Even the Kardashians are taken aback by sweet sixteen Alabama’s mature appearance. Alabama frequents the Hollywood club scene, not to mention all night raves. She was named Brand Ambassador for the racy and inexpensive clothing line Pretty Little Things. It seems like in every photo Alabama posts of herself, she’s wearing MORE makeup and LESS clothing. Somebody please talk this girl into going to college!

KEVIN SPACEY THOUGHT HE COULD DO NO WRONG

Hollywood has a solid history of tolerating workplace sexual harassment and enabling important predators, so any change for the better is delightful. As star and executive Producer, Kevin Spacey no doubt figured he could get away with that behavior on the House of Cards set because none of the young male crew members he preyed upon wanted to go on the record -for fear of being blackballed. Finally, ONE brave guy talked and the resulting investigation got Spacey fired and taken to court by the MRC entertainment company. Spacey was sued for revenue lost after he left the show and attorney fees, and he just LOST and the judge says he has to pay almost 31 million dollars to MRC! Hopefully this will motivate egotistical actors and executives to control themselves…

MEN IN SKIRTS CLUB: ASAP ROCKY IS AN ACTIVE MEMBER

And so it begins…the summer of THE SKIRT. Just days after Brad Pitt had the world abuzz when he flaunted a skirt to his Bullet Train premier, we have Rihanna’s baby-daddy ASAP Rocky looking right at home in a black leather skirt and Givenchy sweatshirt. Not much of a surprise because fashion-forward Rocky was one of the earliest rappers to try a skirt. We ARE surprised that anyone in their right mind  would choose to wear this outfit on a sizzling hot summer day in New York. Amazing, but some people dress without giving a second thought to the weather. Now that the male skirt is becoming quite acceptable, we can’t help but wonder if the mini-skirt IS NEXT…

THINGS AREN’T GETTING BETTER FOR WENDY WILLIAMS

Wendy Williams needs help. It’s obvious that she has no people around her capable of helping her pull her life together. Wendy’s most recent embarrassment happened at the Louis Vuitton store in Soho. According to a NY website Gossip of the City Tea, Wendy was photographed “sleeping” on a bed in the store display window with a big glass of champagne by her side. As observers gathered, looking in the window, it appeared that she sat bolt upright and looked startled when store security approached and they had a conversation. Since her TV show was canceled, Wendy has been spiraling downward. She blames her bizarre behavior on health problems as well as her addiction to alcohol and drugs. Rehab didn’t help – what Wendy needs is hardcore professional guidance – and a true friend.

JON HAMM IS NO SNOB WHEN IT COMES TO COMMERCIALS

The first time we saw Jon Hamm in a Progressive Insurance commercial with Flo, we were taken aback for a minute. The Mad Men star (and now Top Gun costar) seemed like TOO BIG a celebrity to appear in those odd little ads. Turned out he’s in a whole series of the ads and he’s actually very funny playing Flo’s frustrated suitor. Supposedly he and Flo had a blind date years ago before he became a star, but she was more interested in offering insurance discounts than she was in him. Now that he’s successful, Jon tries to reconnect with Flo but she barely remembers him. While SOME actors are above it all, Jon Hamm has no problem appearing in commercials – he says he’s happy to perform anywhere…

KYLIE JENNER HASN’T LOST HER TASTE FOR FREEBIES

Kylie Jenner has a habit of showing off expensive items that she acquires on Instagram, and some of her fans are offended, claiming that it’s rude to ostentatiously display one’s wealth. Kylie’s little boy was born in February and his name is still a secret along with his FACE. That’s unusual because PR hungry Kylie loves sharing photos of her daughter Stormi and herself. Recently she posted a picture of her son’s designer sneaker collection- which is ironic, because at 6 months he isn’t able to walk yet! Some of the tiny sneakers sell for $250 a pair. The REAL reason Kylie is flaunting the shoes is that she hopes manufacturers will thank her for the free publicity by sending her lots of FREE sneakers…

WORST DRESSED THIS WEEK: GUESS WHO!

Everybody makes a mistake once in awhile- but this person is usually King AND Queen on the red carpet! It’s singer/actor Billy Porter, of course, and who can forget his black velvet tuxedo gown designed by Christian Siriano at the 2019 Oscars? Billy has a big personality and when he arrives on a red carpet everything comes to a standstill. Above, it was just another day in New York and maybe the heat dampened some of Billy’s enthusiasm because he tossed together a colorful but not-so-inspiring look. Good thing he has a mask on…

PARIS JACKSON SAYS NO THANKS TO HOLLYWOOD MCMANSIONS

Paris Jackson just bought herself a new house in the Hollywood Hills and it couldn’t be more appropriate. She may be one of the wealthiest young women in Hollywood, but you wouldn’t guess it by her purchase. Paris considers herself to be a modern-day hippie so she avoided the gaudy McMansions and acquired an upscale wood and stone cabin for 3.8 million. It’s a comparatively modest 3000 sq ft, with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. (No indulgent walk-in closets) She loves the fact that it has an art studio and a music studio, plus a free-form saltwater pool. She probably isn’t at all impressed that Rock Hudson once lived there. (note the rustic bathroom)

WILL SMITH’S “APOLOGY” WASN’T MEANT FOR CHRIS ROCK

If you thought Will Smith’s apology to Chris Rock for slapping him at the Oscars was stiff and insincere, you are not alone. There’s a noteworthy difference between saying “I apologize” and “I am sorry. ”

According to Google: There is a subtle difference between saying “I’m sorry” and “I apologize.” An apology is a formal admission of a wrongdoing. It may or may not be heartfelt — i.e., a person may apologize without feeling remorseful. On the other hand, saying “I am sorry” is usually seen as being a truer admission of regret.

Not only did Will offer a stiff “apology” but he made a subtle reference in his speech that implied that Rock’s innocuous joke about Jada’s bald head was meant as an insult – thus giving him a good reason to become violent. All in all, it seems Will Smith made that speech because he was pressured into it- NOT because thinks he was wrong. Will’s speech was actually just a PR move to get fans to forgive him.
Congrats to Chris Rock for not responding favorably!

DONNA MILLS: THIS IS WHAT 81 LOOKS LIKE!

These photos are  bound to cheer up a lot of people – Donna Mills looks fabulous! We didn’t realize it, but the Knots Landing star makes a surprise appearance in Jordan Peele’s scary film Nope. Donna says she was sworn to secrecy and not allowed to reveal that she was in the film before it was released. You might also remember Donna from the Clint Eastwood movie Play Misty For Me. We haven’t seen her for years because she took time off to raise her tall and beautiful adopted daughter Chloe, who is now a successful model and influencer. Donna is deliriously happy to be acting again and she hopes to get roles for glamorous grandmas – not just old ladies…
