JERRY LEE LEWIS: REMEMBERING EARLY ROCKABILLY

Jerry Lee Lewis was inducted into the the Country Music Hall of Fame today (it’s about time – the Rock n’Roll Hall of Fame snapped him up in 1986) and it brought back memories. Jerry was one of the original rockabillies (right, Brian Setzer?) and when I was writing for Star Magazine, I always went to see his shows – mostly at hillbilly bars. The shows were always wild and fun and more often than not, Jerry ended up in a fistfight with some guy in the audience. Unlike many celebrities, Jerry LIKED my tabloid magazine and invited me to his dressing room when he played in Hollywood. (photo above) I was surprised to find petulant looking Lisa Marie Presley in the dressing room also. Bob Dylan also walked in with his entourage and I recall he looked really dirty and I stepped back to give him plenty of space…

SHE LOOKS GLAM WITH HER MOUTH SHUT

Quick! Can you guess who this is? Takes a minute to figure it out – but’s actually Miley Cyrus in New York. She finally ditched that mullet and decided to go full-out blonde bombshell. Maybe she went to see Chicago on Broadway and was inspired by Pamela Anderson. A few minutes after this photo was taken she stuck out that tongue again and spoiled the moment she had…

TULSA KING: MAFIA FAMILY MOVES FROM NYC TO OKLAHOMA

Tulsa King is a new series filming in NYC for Paramount and it looks like it might be fun. Certainly Sylvester Stallone is already in character to play a mob boss. He plays a mobster who got out of prison after 25 years and is exiled to begin anew in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He sets out to build up his criminal empire and finds himself a fish out of water in this totally foreign place, dealing with the locals. Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan came up with this idea- and it’s very male oriented, so far out of 20 cast members, only one is female. Annabella Sciorra, (remember, she was one of the brave women who got Harvey Weinstein locked up) above, was shooting this scene with Stallone so she must be a recent addition. Stallone is all puffed up and ready for his cue, it appears…

JANET JACKSON IS NOT ABOUT TO SHOW SKIN

One more highlight from the Billboard awards- Janet Jackson. She’s been doing a VERY covered up look lately (the opposite of Doja Cat) and she found the right designer to dress her. Thom Browne loves to dress women to look like men, and men to look like women – in a totally elegant way. This custom outfit suits Janet because she is wearing her favorite color and she’s covered very nicely from head to toe. In fact, she put a lot of those underdressed girls to shame…

WHO WAS THE “IT” COUPLE AT THE BILLBOARD AWARDS?

The two sets of finalists for couple of the night were Machine Gun Kelly and his fiancee Megan Fox (he performed a song dedicated to his “wife.”) Megan’s dark look was seriously vampire, but we’ve seen that style dress too many times already. Certainly the nails all around MGK’s suit cut down on their PDA that night. On the other hand, Kylie Jenner’s nude Balmain dress was more original, but when she arrived on the red carpet with Travis Scott and their daughter Stormi, the little girl stole the show in a white cocktail one shoulder dress and she’s only 4! We do like this photo of Kylie and Travis and their similar hairstyles. Travis looks rather calm for a guy being sued for billions of dollars in damages due to negligence at Astroworld…

POST MALONE SAYS HE HAS A FACE FOR RADIO

Post Malone’s face tattoos are the subject of many conversations – he recently added a buzzsaw to his cheek. Mark Wahlberg has tried to warn him that he will regret them by the time he hits 40. Mark said “Every kid says ‘they all have meaning and I’ll keep them forever’ but they change their minds.” Wahlberg had many of his own painfully lazered off. Post insists that they make him more interesting to look at. He admits he lacks self confidence and jokes “I have a face for radio.” Photoshop expert Mitchell Wiggs created these photos of Post Malone with and without tattoos, and tamed his hair a bit. Malone’s face actually looks quite nice without the tats, but one of his friends said he looks like a real estate agent.

WHAT DO JASON MOMOA AND EIZA GONZALEZ HAVE IN COMMON?

Okay, so undeniable hunk and outdoorsman Jason Momoa, 42, has been linked to drop-dead gorgeous Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez, 32, – his first possible “link” since he and wife Lisa Bonet parted ways. Currently, Jason and Eiza are filming Fast & Furious 10 together in Italy. Turns out he was also at the premier of her movie Ambulance, but avoided being photographed with her. People magazine is pretty reliable and they think it’s a budding romance. On the downside, are these two compatible? Eiza is in her element when she’s all dolled up for glam events like the Met Gala (Above) – the kind of situation Jason avoids like the plague. And don’t forget, Jason was last seen happily living in his RV camper (he likes being “close to nature”) parked at a friend’s house. (He even drove it to his Aquaman premier. ) Not exactly romantic…

JENNIFER LOPEZ: ISN’T DRIVING IN LA RISKY ENOUGH?

Nice to see that busy Jennifer Lopez finds time to shop with her daughter Emme- the pair hit the funky end of Melrose Avenue to look for vintage clothing at Jet Rag. Emme has eclectic taste and she’s not all about designer fashion like her mother. However, as Jennifer was getting into her car we were struck by the sight of her 8 inch platform summer shoes. Are they REALLY safe for driving? We can imagine all sorts of bad things happening…any opinions out there?

TOM CRUISE: WOMEN ARE EXPENDABLE

Funny how Tom Cruise absolutely INSISTED that all the guys- including his Top Gun rival Val Kilmer -appear in This new Top Gun Maverick, 34 years after the original. All this in spite of the fact that Val has been struggling with cancer for years and can barely speak. It will be interesting to see how his character is portrayed. Of course Tom had NO interest in bringing back his female costar and love interest in the original, Kelly McGillis. Meg Ryan was the other female in the original and she was not invited back either. Why were ONLY the females eliminated? Not even a cameo?… Tom’s new love interest is Jennifer Connolly, 13 years younger than Kelly.

DOES KEVIN HART ACTUALLY CRAVE ATTENTION?

He’s seems to be trying very hard to be inconspicuous in that white hoody with butterflies, but Kevin Hart is turning heads while he shops with his wife Eniko in Venice, Italy. Of course that large scowling bodyguard and the persistent paparazzi are a dead giveaway. Kevin is in Venice producing and starring in a Netflix comedy called Lift with Vincent D’Onofrio. Hart plays a master thief who is convinced to attempt an impossible heist happening aboard a Boeing 777 twinjet.
