KARDASHIAN SEX TAPE: WILL WE EVER KNOW THE TRUTH?

The Sun gleefully interviewed a notorious Hollywood sex tape broker who came close to buying the Kim Kardashian/Ray J sex tape back in 2006. The guy says he met with Ray J and Ray explained that Kim made the tape because she wanted to be more famous than her friend Paris Hilton and intended to release it free. RAy knew it was worth big money and the broker agreed and made a generous offer. He didn’t hear from Ray again and the video ended up at Vivid Entertainment – the company brags that it is their best selling movie of all time. Around 8 months after tape was released, the Kardashians got their reality series. The broker figures Kim made about 20 million (she denies) from the tape, and TMZ says Ray J collects $90,000 in royalties every 3 months. This is interesting- the tape broker also claims that a number of grossly graphic sex scenes were DELETED from the final tape – he believes that if they had been left IN, the Kardashian family would NOT have the success they have today.

RYAN PHILLIPPE AND SON SHARE THE CHORES

Ryan Phillippe went grocery shopping with his phone-friendly son Deacon at Gelson’s supermarket. We often shop in the same store but have never run in to him. We did encounter Dita Von Teese there a few years ago and she was friendly as always. She recently bought a beautiful vintage 1950’s Lilli Ann suit of ours on eBay and we know she’ll give it a good home. (We don’t get to wear wool much in California) Anyway, back to Ryan and Deacon – look closely at Deacon’s face and you will notice his resemblance to his mom Reese Witherspoon…

OSCAR DE LA HOYA KEEPS HIS GIRLFRIENDS HAPPY

Former boxer (and generous boyfriend) Oscar De La Hoya took his girlfriend Holly Sonders shopping on Rodeo Drive and they practically cleaned out the Louboutin store. Holly, a former host for Fox Sports, started dating Oscar in August, and on Valentines Day he presented her with a million dollar custom red Ferrari. Oscar says she makes him feel “like King Kong.” You might remember around 2007, a disgruntled stripper released photos of Oscar dressed up in women’s fishnet hose, high heels, and panties. Oscar’s reps claimed the pics were photoshopped, but Oscar later admitted they were real and blamed his use of drugs and alcohol. He says he’s clean now and working as a fight promoter.

SCOTT DISICK CAN’T KEEP UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS

It looks like the sometimes petulant Scott Disick (father of Kourtney’s three children) has a very “iffy” future. He’s no longer a big shot in the Kardashian empire. Scott, 38, became accustomed to the good life by having a prime role on the family’s E! series. He was noted for dating beautiful teenage girls and personal angst. But the show has now jumped to Hulu and Scott is just an ex-husband. Kourtney has moved ON, she “married” her boyfriend Travis Barker on Grammy weekend in Las Vegas, and they are planning a family. Scott intensely dislikes Travis and can’t stand to be around him. That’s his dilemma: how can he maintain his relevance on the show?

PAMELA ANDERSON WANTS YOU TO FORGET “PAM AND TOMMY”

Pamela Anderson is in New York looking adorable and she’s there for a good reason. She’s promoting her upcoming role as Roxie Hart in Chicago (the second longest running Broadway show.) Between divorces, Pam like to take a break and actually work. In January, she filed for divorce from her fifth husband, bodyguard Dan Hayhurst. Remember – she divorced Jon Peters after 12 days and moved to France for YEARS while dating a soccer player. And she was married to Kid Rock for four months – she didn’t want to move to Michigan! Pam is also working on a Netflix docu-series about her colorful life – her preparation in New York for Chicago is being filmed for the documentary. She’s hoping this will make people forget about the Hulu series Pam and Tommy than she did NOT like…

LISA RINNA AND DELILAH HAMLIN:TWO GENERATIONS OF GLAM

Here’s a mother-daughter pair that means business. Lisa Rinna and her daughter Delilah, 23, were each other’s dates at the GLAAD Media Awards this week. Model and social media celebrity Delilah broke up with her boyfriend Eyal Booker (Love Island UK) a few months ago and she’s only been seen with one guy since then: Jack Nicholson’s lookalike son Ray Nicholson, 30. When asked if they were dating, Delilah replied mysteriously “We’re just friends… as of now.”

CHRISSY TEIGEN: A BALL GOWN AT THE GRAMMYS? REALLY?

On the plus side, Chrissy Teigen looked gorgeous at The Grammys. The over-the-top pink gown she wore was beyond beautiful and she didn’t flash too much skin or look uncomfortable. But WHERE did she think she was going? Her voluminous (Oscar appropriate) dress had a loooong train and it was totally the wrong thing to wear for the occasion. The Grammys dress code is RELAXED – they say “black tie is suggested” and no one was ever thrown out for not being dressed up enough. The event is young and fun and extravagant rock n’ roll attire is expected – NOT formal attire….

CARROT TOP LOST FIFTY POUNDS OF MUSCLE

Things are happening in Las Vegas besides The Grammys. It was opening night for magician Criss Angel’s new show Amystika at the Criss Angel Theater at Planet Hollywood. Las Vegas regular Carrot Top turned up for the celebration and he looked normal – quite different from the last time we saw him. Remember a few years ago when Carrot Top says he became obsessed with working out in the gym three hours a day, and he turned into a 50-pounds-heavier bulging muscle monster? At the time he denied using steroids – but doesn’t everyone? Anyway, it appears he found a better use for his time…

WHO DAT IS? IT’S RIHANNA AND HER BABY DADDY!

Rihanna (along with boyfriend ASAP Rocky, of course) turned up at Craig’s celebrity restaurant wearing more clothing than usual. Recently she’s been into glitz with an oversize helping of flesh, showing off her pregnant tummy. Last night she was strictly casual- with a funny t-shirt that reads: Who dat is? Oh, Dat’s jus my BABY DADDY! featuring Mickey and Minnie Mouse as rappers. If you recall, that was a highly danceable hit single from the late 90’s by B-Rock and the Bizz… and very appropriate for the situation.

THE OSCAR SLAP IS NOW A WORK OF ART

THAT didn’t take long! An artist in Berlin was SO taken with Will Smith slapping Chris Rock on the Oscars that he created a mural of the event in the art installation area of Mauerpark in the city. Park visitors are loving the selfie opportunities…
