BRUCE WILLIS: IT’S ALL ABOUT QUANTITY, NOT QUALITY

If you ever wondered what happened to Bruce Willis’s career- Roger Friedman from Showbiz411 has it all figured out. According to Roger, Bruce has been churning out dozens and dozens of low-budget schlock films made for video where no language or quality is necessary. Bruce is producing and “starring” in these films with a partner, for countries that like action movies and are impressed with Willis’s name. Actually Bruce only appears in a few scenes that are shot in one day. Bruce doesn’t seem to care that this is damaging his once respectable screen legacy because apparently it IS profitable…

DOES KEANU REEVES EVER WEAR A MASK?

Keanu Reeves has been working in Berlin for MONTHS and paparazzi know when he’ll be leaving his hotel for the set every day, so we see loads of photos of him. Keanu usually has soaking wet hair when he walks out of the hotel and we’ve never seen him wear a mask. He’s been in Germany working back to back on Matrix 4, followed by TWO installments of John Wick, and he seems to like it there. His girlfriend Alexandra Grant has been with him most of the time, and they’ve been seen together at restaurants and art galleries- without masks. It must be love- they even SHOP together! It’s odd- Keanu doesn’t seem like an anti-mask type…

SEINFELD GOT LUCKY IN THE WIFE DEPARTMENT

Jessica Seinfeld, 49, always posts the cutest family photos on Instagram. We think Jerry, 67, is one of the luckiest husbands of all time. He brags that besides being funny, his wife plans everything for him and makes sure he gets everyplace on time. She’s not only organized, but she can, and does, COOK. She’s written four successful cookbooks. AND she runs her own charity that supplies essential items for families in need. Jerry’s kids seem to have turned out well – daughter Sascha, 20, is a Junior at Duke University, Julien, 18, just started Duke as a Freshman, and Shepherd, 15, is still in high school. Jerry and Jessica have been married for over 21 years. With this photo, Jessica wished everyone on Instagram a “Happy Jewish New Year to all!”

JARED LETO REALLY DOES HAVE A CULT FOLLOWING

Just another Labor Day in Soho with an abundance of characters walking around. Wait – this one looks vaguely familiar! It turns out to be Jared Leto, who is famous both for his acting (Dallas Buyers Club) and his band, Thirty Seconds to Mars. His mask is vaguely reminiscent of Kanye West. Leto’s band has SUCH a cult following (they tour constantly) that he hosted an event where fans of the band paid to be isolated on an island in Croatia for a 3 day music festival featuring yoga and movie screenings. (this was right before Covid) Everyone, including “cult leader” Leto, wore white, and hundreds of devoted “worshippers” took part in the festivities.

ANTONIO BANDERAS HAS A PERCEPTIVE GIRLFRIEND

Antonio Banderas’s girlfriend Nicole Kimpel keeps a tight grip on her boyfriend when they’re out at big events. Actually she’s no slouch- Nicole is a former investment banker who speaks five languages and now has her own fashion company with her twin sister. Nicole, 39, and Antonio, 60, have been together since 2014 when he divorced Melanie Griffith. Nicole probably knows how Melanie Griffith managed to steal Antonio from his first wife Ana, while they were costarring in Two Much in 1995, so she keeps an eye on him…

WHY CAN’T MORE MEN LOOK LIKE MARK MESTER?

Actually more men MIGHT look like the KTLA newsman, if they would only SHAVE. Granted, Mark Mester has other assets – he was named Newscaster with the Best Hair in California. And besides keeping fit, he also LIKES to cook! But his most endearing trait is the fact that he shaves regularly. So few men do, that we almost forgot what a handsome man looks like…

JOHNNY DEPP: HOW NOT TO GET A DIVORCE

There’s no doubt that Johnny Depp’s career has taken a severe beating since he split with wife Amber Heard in 2016. The lawsuit he filed against The Sun for calling him a “wife-beater” was a nightmare- he was drilled about his behavior in court and all sorts of negative conduct involving drugs and alcohol were dredged up and he looked BAD. And he lost. It cost him all his big ticket movie roles (Fantastic Beasts, Pirates of the Caribbean etc) His current 50 million dollar defamation lawsuit against Amber (she wrote in the Washington Post that she is a “domestic abuse survivor”) will no doubt repeat those debauched stories about him. He’s in a bad place and he and Amber are both spending a fortune on lawyers. Depp did manage to make a movie –City of Lies- that is showing, but not in competition, at the Deauville American Film Festival. His fans were happy to see him there, even if he did a lot of complaining about being blackballed in Hollywood…

YES THAT WAS BRAD PITT IN A TV COMMERCIAL!

We were VERY surprised when a commercial came on last night and it was Brad Pitt selling an Italian De’Longhi coffee machine. The ad was beautifully shot – showed Brad on his motorcycle out buying coffee beans and then at home enjoying his cappuccino. It had the expensive quality of a Brad Pitt movie and he looked great. We assume he was inspired by his pal George Clooney’s coffee ads- they didn’t do HIS career any harm.

SETH ROGEN: A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!

We cannot allow this moment to go uncelebrated! Seth Rogen shaved off his beard – and most of his hair, too! Of course, it’s the beard that matters. He posted this photo to announce the fact. In all the years we’ve been observing Seth Rogen, (starting with Knocked Up, 2007) we have never seen his face without hair on it- sometimes shaggy stubble, sometimes a full beard. He always looked older than his actual age.( Yes, beards are AGEING – he’s only 39!) So it’s revelation to actually see what Seth looks like – and he looks perfectly fine! He didn’t NEED that beard he was hiding behind! Hopefully other men will take a hint from this and shave off that awful facial hair that NOBODY really likes…

TIFFANY HADDISH: THE HARDER I WORK, THE LUCKIER I GET!

Tiffany Haddish’s lucky streak just keeps on going…In the past few years she has lost 50 pounds, (thru diet and exercise – not surgery!) she gave up smoking, and she became a full-fledged movie star. Not only that but her love life continues to flourish with her boyfriend Common. They were often seen together at BLM demonstrations. Now Tiffany is at the Venice Film Festival where the “revenge thriller” she stars in, The Card Counter, is in competition. Directer Paul Schrader is known for the intensity of his films so it was a surprise when Tiffany was cast – she plays a professional gambler’s agent and adds a bit of levity to the hard-edge drama.
