DEE SNIDER PLAYED HIS CARDS RIGHT

Hard to believe, but Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider has been with the same woman- his wife- for 46 years. That has to be a record in the rock world. Dee and his wife Suzette met when she was 15 and he was 21 – for Dee it was love at first sight. They married in 1981 and Dee admits when the band was really hot in 1984, they nearly broke up because his ego got out of control. But he came to his senses, and they went on to have four kids. Suzette is still a knockout – they went out to dinner last night in West Hollywood. Dee is delighted that Ukraine’s anti-war anthem is Twisted sister’s hit We’re Not Gonna take It…

JULIA ROBERTS CALLS HERSELF A HOMEMAKER

Now THAT’S what we call a movie star! Julia Roberts enjoys her status as a superpower in Hollywood, but she always seems happy and enthusiastic and relatively NORMAL. She’s been successfully married to cinematographer Danny Moder for 20 years and they have three kids together. Before she settled down however, her dating life was highly adventurous. At 19, she dated Liam Neeson, (16 years older) and they lived together in Venice, Cal. Her next conquest (in’88) was her Steel Magnolias husband Dylan McDermott, and they became engaged before splitting. (We happily documented all her romances for Star Magazine in those days) Next came her Flatliners costar Kiefer Sutherland- they cancelled their wedding ceremony at the last minute- some say a go-go dancer was involved. Julia was seen with Kiefer’s best friend Jason Patric on what was supposed to be her wedding day! That lasted until she met and married country singer Lyle Lovett, of all people. Work kept them apart and they split amicably after 2 years. Her next romance with delicious Benjamin Bratt lasted 4 years- until she met Danny Moder in the set of The Mexican. He split from his wife the same year that he and Julia wed. She calls it “The best decision I ever made.” Listen to this: Julia says she LOVES being a “homemaker” and has stayed home with her kids as much was possible for the past 18 years. Now she’s back with Gaslit.

ROB KARDASHIAN HASN’T TAKEN THAT BASEBALL CAP OFF SINCE 2013

Strange but true. Try to find a photo of Rob Kardashian without the cap for the past nine years. It’s sad, but this Kardashian guy has been “hiding out” since then. Back in 2012 he had a short but memorable romance with Rita Ora and she broke his heart. That’s when he started eating too much. In 2016, he started dating Blac Chyna- at one point she claimed Rob spend $100,000 on weight loss surgery that seemed to be working, but then didn’t. Meanwhile the hat never came off- apparently his hair was thinning. He might be getting hair transplants of some kind, but he just NEVER removes the cap. Maybe that’s why he hasn’t shown up in court this week…he would be asked to remove it.

KOURTNEY IS A HIT WITH MOST OF THE BARKERS

Looks like Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker won’t be having trouble blending their families. Kourtney celebrated her 43rd birthday this week and Travis’s daughter Alabama, 16, and his step-daughter Atiana De La Hoya, 23, both posted this affectionate birthday greeting for Kourtney. Alabama is Travis’s daughter with his ex Shanna Moakler, and Atiana is his stepdaughter (her dad is Shanna’s ex-husband boxer Oscar De la Hoya) Both girls seem to enjoy hanging out and shopping with Kourtney. In the photo above all three are wearing that Yeezy Gap jacket that Kanye designed. Unfortunately Shanna Moakler does NOT share her daughters’ affection for Kourtney and calls her “destructive” to her family…

JANELLE MONAE INVITES YOU TO VISIT HER AFROFUTURISTIC WORLD

Looking spiffy as usual, singer Janelle Monae is busily promoting her new BOOK- not album! When it comes to fashion- barely five foot tall Janelle does not disappoint. She says she is inspired by black and white tuxedo combinations and that dandyish look has become the “uniform” of her career. We rarely see her in designer fashions- most of her outfits seem to be created by HER- not a stylist. Having conquered the world of music and fashion, she now aspires to become a successful author. Her book is a collection of short stories by her and friends called The Memory Librarian and Other Stories of Dirty Computer. The description is SO complicated: It takes place in an “afrofuturistic totalitarian world and explores queerness, race, gender, and love, while considering the possibilities of memory and time.” Can you imagine? Hope the subject matter doesn’t scare readers away…

CHRIS BROWN CALLS THE COPS FOR A CHANGE

Since Chris Brown had his first hit album, he’s been having bad experiences with the LAPD. He’s been arrested and accused of violence against women numerous times resulting in prison time, probation, restraining orders etc. Chris has called police “idiots.” (We think he should have been arrested for BREEDING Pit Bulls and selling them online – animal rescues cannot find enough homes for the breed as it is) Ironically, this guy who has a powerful dislike for police actually CALLED police this week for the third time because a woman has been standing in front of his San Fernando Valley house and won’t go away. Security at his gate cannot convince her to leave. She does disappear before the cops arrive, but what can they arrest her for? Standing on the sidewalk is not a crime. Beating up women IS.

BIG SEAN’S FANS ALMOST OUTNUMBERED HARRY STYLES’ AT COACHELLA

It was noted that Big Sean’s crowd at Coachella rivaled that of Harry Styles, and the rapper joked “Except Harry got paid way way way more!” Sean’s longtime girlfriend, singer Jhene Aiko joined him onstage singing “I know.” They’ve been together since 2016, and were friends long before then. The couple went to the Neon Carnival after the show and Jhene wore this suitably outrageous outfit. Most of the girls at the party were VERY scantily clad – many in see-thru- and they spent the night partying and shivering in the cold night air… until 4 AM

JOE MANGANIELLO: HOPELESSLY IN LOVE WITH TWO FEMALES

Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello had dinner with friends at at Il Pastaio and they walked out looking like THIS. You might assume that Joe is dutifully carrying his wife’s lap dog Bubbles, but you’d be wrong. After they married in 2015, Sofia decided she wanted to adopt a dog but Joe wasn’t very interested – he’d never had a pet. One day she came home with her new puppy Bubbles, and the dog and Joe had an immediate “connection.” Bubbles became surprisingly attached to Joe and vice versa. Sofia felt left out at first, but now she’s amused by the fact that Joe takes Bubbles wherever they go.

JOHNNY DEPP’S NO-WIN SITUATION

SO sad to see Johnny Depp doing exactly what he was advised NOT to do by all his “people.” His acting career is already in tatters, but he insisted on dragging his ex-wife Amber Heard back into the courtroom for a defamation suit, although she did NOT name him in her article about domestic abuse in The Washington Post. The problem for Johnny is that Amber’s defense will reveal all the grisly details about Johnny’s rampant alcohol and drug abuse, along with all those horrifying emails he sent describing Amber in awful terms and showing just how twisted his brain was during those times. He’s paying his lawyers a fortune and further diminishing his reputation. He can’t win, either way. But remember, he still has a music career to fall back on…

ORDINARY GUYS – TAKE HEART- YOU CAN WIN OVER A SUPERMODEL!

It doesn’t happen all that often, but it appears that a very ordinary guy has won the heart of supermodel Bella Hadid. Her last boyfriend was The Weeknd, so Bella is obviously accustomed to dating good looking famous men with lots of money. She’s kept her current boyfriend (since 2020) pretty much undercover until recently. Marc Kalman, 33, is an up and coming art director, who does a lot of album covers and fashion work – that’s how they met. He’s nowhere near as successful as Bella, but she obviously doesn’t care. He’s no match for her in the looks department either. Her family really LIKES him and Bella seems quite content with him, so ordinary guys DO win sometimes…
