WORST DRESSED THIS WEEK (YOU MUST BE KIDDING)

English actress Amara Karan (The Darjeeling Limited) turned up at the premier of her new AMC series Moonhaven, wearing THIS. What was she thinking? We hope this dress was made by some aspiring designer friend of hers and she’s doing that person a favor by wearing it. Or maybe SHE made it herself in a fit of inspiration. It would be tragic if she actually bought and paid for it because the dress invokes laughter, not admiration. This pretty actress deserves better…

MADONNA CRANKS UP THE VOLUME

No way is gay icon Madonna going to let a New York Pride celebration happen without a performance from HER. You might recall Madonna kissing Britney Spears at the VMA’s a few years back. She took it to the next level this week at a surprise concert at Terminal 5 in New York. Dominican rapper Tokischa joined her onstage for a few songs and the tension grew as they launched into a hot takeout session. That was followed by a lengthy simulated sex performance that had the crowd screaming. Madonna is releasing her new album FINALLY ENOUGH LOVE on Aug 19

THE BRADY BUNCH IN PORTOFINO

America’s picture-perfect family is vacationing in Italy and the other tourists are delighted to see them there. Believe it or not, visitors tend to ignore Gisele Bundchen and beg Tom Brady for selfies -he amiably obliges. And SHE is the most successful Supermodel in the world! The Bradys have 2 kids together- Vivian, 9, and Benjamin, 12, and they couldn’t get enough of the Italian ice cream. Gisele indulged also. Tom has another son, Jack, 14, with actress Bridget Moynahan. That’s quite a story-Tom had split from Bridget and started dating Gisele when he learned Bridget was pregnant. Gisele hung in there anyway (says she loves Jack) and she and Tom got married. Happy ending – Bridget married someone else too.

ELVIS DIRECTOR BAZ LUHRMANN: TOTALLY CASUAL IN TOKYO

Director Baz Luhrmann knows how to make an entrance. He arrived at the Tokyo airport and pulled down his mask so paparazzi could get a photo of him. Of course, he is in the city to promote his new film Elvis. We are happy to say that Elvis beat Top Gun: Maverick at the boxoffice this week and hopefully it will do the same in Japan. It’s apparent that Luhrmann has a sense of humor, and we imagine it must have been fun on the set while filming Elvis. Love the pink socks with loafers! Elvis would have liked them too…

MGK AND MEGAN FOX: DROPPING A GREAT BIG HINT?

Coincidence? We think not. Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox just happened to go out in New York last night looking like THIS – practically head-to-toe HOT pink. It so happens the Barbie movie just started filming in LA, starring Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie. Looks like Kelly and Megan want Warner Bros/Mattel and director Greta Gerwig to know that THEY should have been cast! And from the looks of it, they ARE naturals. Both look good with blonde hair and MGK already favors the color pink. They are the rock n’ roll version of Barbie and Ken! It would have updated the story considerably. Maybe someone ELSE will make the Kelly/Fox version of Barbie and Ken.

RYAN GOSLING HAS TWO FEMALES HE HOPES TO IMPRESS

Okay, we’re in. We weren’t so sure we wanted to see the Barbie movie but this photo convinced us we have to. Seeing Ryan Gosling in this goofy outfit  on roller skates is worth the price of admission. Ryan and Margot Robbie were filming on Venice Beach today and he didn’t fall down once. We’re betting he took the role because of his two little girls, Esmeralda and Amada..

KESHA – A SURVIVOR AFTER YEARS IN A LEGAL BATTLE

We almost didn’t recognize Kesha when she appeared on The Today Show this morning. Gone is the tangled blonde hair and the glittery face makeup- not to mention the outrageous fashion. She looks dead serious. Is this what working with Sony music producer Dr Luke did to her? Since 2014, she has been in endless courtroom battles with him – she couldn’t get out of her contract (signed when she was 18) after claiming he abused her. He has sued her for defamation, her mother, and her lawyer (even a fan of hers) multiples times and she countersued – and mostly lost. Does she have any money left? Hopefully she can pull her life and career back together.

ROCCO RITCHIE AND LOURDES LEON HAVE A LOT IN COMMON

Nice to see Madonna’s kids hanging out together. Madonna’s oldest daughter Lourdes Leon was hired to model in the Marine Serre show during Fashion Week in Paris and her half-brother Rocco Ritchie, 21, popped over from the UK to catch the show. Lourdes and Rocco both lived with their mother in New York until a few years ago. Rocco was on his mother’s Rebel Heart Tour when he was 16 and he abruptly quit the tour and moved in with his father, director Guy Ritchie in London. This caused a family rift which has since settled, and Rocco is living with Guy’s family and studying art in the UK. He’s even had a few art shows and sold paintings under the fake name of Rhed. Which makes sense because he’s always had a killer sense of style.

GRACELAND IS ENJOYING SURGE OF INTEREST, THANKS TO ELVIS MOVIE

The new Elvis movie is stimulating interest in Graceland and visitors are filling up the place again. We had no idea it was SO expensive to get in! Like gas, prices are high, but demand is still there! Photos of the decor are always appalling – did Elvis hire a “decorator” or did his mother do it? His dark kitchen even had CARPETING – along with the latest fancy oven of that time. Why did he resist the popular decor of the era – mid-century modern? Anyway, apparently there are photos of Elvis and his gun collection at the house (he liked little pocket size pistols) – and he also had a target area where he practiced shooting at the outline of a man. Hate to say it, but “guns n’drugs” applies to Elvis as much as Chris Brown.

IS EZRA MILLER THE DUMBEST PERSON IN HOLLYWOOD?

He got lucky as a teenager in the movie We Need to Talk About Kevin, moved on to The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Fantastic Beasts, and then he REALLY got lucky- he now has his own DC film The Flash, with an AMAZING future- yet Ezra Miller is blowing it ALL. Talk about lack of gratitude- this is what MOST ACTORS DREAM ABOUT! The Flash movie is ready for release next June, but Warner Bros can’t trust Miller promote the film doing interviews – even if he did show up. The studio has been searching for him for two weeks but he’s missing and on the run. After all those disorderly conduct and drug arrests, non-binary Miller has been accused of “grooming” non-binary teens online and running away with them. He has a 26 year old woman and her 3 kids hidden from her “violent” husband on his illegal marijuana farm in Vermont loaded with guns and drugs. Ezra COULD have had a fabulous career if he didn’t indulge in too many drugs and use too little common sense. (And he’ll get no plural pronouns from ME!)
