JOEY KING : HAIRDO OR HAIR DON’T?

It’s not often that you see something you have NEVER SEEN BEFORE, so we were quite fascinated by Joey King’s hairstyle. She’s busy promoting Bullet Train with her costar Brad Pitt in London and this was her look last night for the premier. We kind of like the dark fingerwaves up front – Zendaya has been sporting those also, and she looks adorable. But the brown mullet in the back is puzzling. Can anyone out there explain this look? (Did Joey run out of the hair salon before she was finished?)

JUST DON’T ASK SURI CRUISE ABOUT HER FATHER

She’s growing up fast, and everybody seems to think Suri Cruise, 16, looks like her mother Katie Holmes. But look closely- she is actually a dead-ringer for her father Tom Cruise! A young female version of course, but the resemblance is obvious. That’s probably not what anyone wants to hear, since Scientologist Tom has chosen to cut ties with his only biological daughter and hasn’t seen her for years. Tom’s latest movie Top Gun: Maverick has created quite a sensation – but has Suri even SEEN it? Her father might be the most famous actor in the world- presumably her friends and school mates ask questions about him. It must be SO awkward for her. The only good thing about this father-daughter problem is that Suri has been rescued from a life in Scientology…

ADRIAN BRODY AND HIS QUESTIONABLE GIRLFRIEND

Adrian Brody and his girlfriend Georgina Chapman are enjoying their vacation on a yacht in St Tropez. We wonder what his female friends think of Georgina. You will recall she was married to despicable serial sex offender Harvey Weinstein from 2007 until he was accused of crimes against over 80 women in four countries in 2017. He was also famous for forcing his actresses to wear Marchesa dresses on red carpets. Marchesa was Georgina’s company (Harvey was an investor.) Through all this, Georgina maintains that she knew NOTHING about her husband’s revolting activities. Most people – especially women- find that IMPOSSIBLE to believe. (Even I heard many awful stories.) Needless to say, Marchesa is not as “popular” as it used to be- nor is Georgina…

JEAN- PAUL GAULTIER HAS HIS OWN WEST END MUSICAL

We haven’t seen Boy George dressed to kill in awhile, so you KNOW something is happening in London. It’s opening night of Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fashion Freak Show – a theater production on the West End. The show is described as “50 years of pop culture through the eyes of JP Gaultier (who happens to be one of our favorite designers!) Actors, dancers, and circus performers in extravagant costumes fill the stage along with the music, celebrities, and movies, that inspired Gaultier through the years. Certainly Madonna will be prominently featured in that infamous bullet bra! One critic said that this production makes all the other West End shows look “beige.” By the way, George and the Culture Club are currently on tour…

JESSICA ALVES AIMS TO BE YOUR “DREAM GIRL” NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS

Okay, I know some of you readers just hate it when I post items about Jessica (formerly Rodrigo) Alves, but I never get tired of his/her antics. And it’s utterly amazing what men will do to themselves to turn into women! Alves is pictured here in a country I never heard of – Baku, Azerbaijan, to be exact. It’s a Muslim country that was once part of Russia. Apparently Jessica just got more cosmetic surgery there – body contouring liposuction and an endoscopy mid-facelift. After 90-plus surgeries, it’s becoming more difficult for Alves to find doctors willing to do such extreme work. We are hoping that he/she will give up on the idea of having a womb transplant and becoming the first transgender woman to have a baby…

JOHN TRAVOLTA ON SCIENTOLOGY: DON’T ASK DON’T TELL

We can’t help wondering about John Travolta’s current ties to Scientology. At one time John was such a high ranking member that it was said he could get away with murder. John was the most powerful celebrity “church” member until Tom Cruise came along. He’s been a member since 1975 (remember the Battlefield Earth debacle?) but rumors are circulating that he is now distancing himself from the organization. They started after his wife Kelly Preston died of breast cancer in 2020. John praised the medical team that treated his wife, but it’s noteworthy that Scientologists are vehemently AGAINST traditional medical treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. Last year, John sold his big house in Clearwater, Florida, where Scientology headquarters are located, and didn’t look back. (Tom Cruise still has a house there) Nowadays John doesn’t say anything negative about Scientology, nor does he bring up the subject. He certainly does not want to anger the powerful and controlling church – bad things might happen. So if he DOES discreetly slip away from Scientology, we probably won’t know about it…

THE GREY BEARD ISN’T DOING RUSSELL CROWE ANY FAVORS

Another grey beard making the wearer – in this case, Russell Crowe- look WAY less attractive. Remember, back in 2000, Russell and Meg Ryan costarred in Proof of Life and fell hard for each other. He was a hot commodity in those days. Meg left her husband Dennis Quaid for him! Eventually the infatuation fizzled out, but it was a huge tabloid scandal, and damaged Meg’s career by spoiling her good-girl image. The When Harry Met Sally star was considered to be “America’s Sweetheart.” Russell is 58 now -the same age as Brad Pitt, but he doesn’t look half as good as Brad, thanks in part to the grey beard. But he does have a young American girlfriend, Britney Theriot, 31, and they are in Rome together where he’s filming.

THE NEW IMPROVED BRAD PITT

Here’s a rare glimpse of Brad Pitt– and it’s strictly business. He’s in Paris promoting his new film Bullet Train, which could turn out to be a blockbuster. He used to be spotted out and about in Hollywood frequently, but his marriages to two of the most famous women in the world taught him how to avoid paparazzi. He’s been hiding out at his Hollywood Hills Craftsman home of late. (Every time we shop at the Gelson’s at the bottom of his hill we look for him. No luck, but cashiers there see him occasionally.) Brad claims to have cleaned up the behavior that wrecked his marriages. With Jennifer Aniston, he admits he smoked pot and laid on the couch all day when he wasn’t working. With second wife Angelina Jolie, the problem was his drinking. He spent a year and a half in AA and even gave up smoking cigarettes. We’re guessing his next romance will be with a waitress or bit player – someone not famous…

MARGARET QUALLEY WORKED HER WAY UP

Nice to see that Margaret Qualley, 27, got an Emmy nomination for Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her Netflix drama Maid. She’s one of those rare children of Hollywood stars (her mother is Andie MacDowell) who find second generation success in Hollywood. (It didn’t hurt that she inherited her mother’s model looks.) When she was promoting her 2019 film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Margaret showed up at my house for a photoshoot with director Quentin Tarantino for W Magazine’s Director’s Issue. It was right before Covid started! Margaret was here all day changing outfits and hair while being photographed in just about every room in the house. Once Upon a Time took place in 1969 so the location was appropriate. She was happy and delightful all day and she aimed to please. It paid off!
