MACHINE GUN KELLY IS DIRECTING A MOVIE

Machine Gun Kelly is not just filming another music video in Hollywood – it’s actually a movie called Good Mourning with a U that MGK and his buddy Mod Sun co-wrote (?) and are directing together. Right now the guys working on the project seem enthralled by that futuristic blue McLaren. That’s Mod-Sun with the green hair, and the guy in the red jacket with blond hair like Kelly, is Pete Davidson, who’s also in the movie, along with singer/actress Becky G.

OLIVIA JADE GIANNULLI HOPES DANCING WITH THE STARS WILL MAKE PEOPLE LIKE HER AGAIN

Looks like Olivia Jade Giannulli plans to arrive at Dancing with the Stars rehearsals every day wearing a full coverage face-mask. Is that to get MORE attention or is she covering up a skin problem? Either way, it IS odd to see someone being rewarded for criminal activity. As you know, her parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli served time in prison for paying $500,000 in bribes to get their daughters into USC. Ironically, Olivia never WANTED to attend USC – she prefers her social media activities on Instagram and YouTube. So instead of USC, Olivia was invited to join the always popular Dancing with the Stars this season -she hopes to increase her online following and maybe even get some of her sponsors back.

DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING DENNIS RODMAN TELLS YOU

We just learned that a movie is being made about a debauched weekend in 1998 that Dennis Rodman spent in Las Vegas called “48 Hours in Vegas.” This weekend happened right after his team won the 1998 NBA Championships. We remember it well because Dennis Rodman turned out to be a liar. Back then we were writing the gossip column for Star Magazine and we got a call from a source in Las Vegas who could barely contain his laughter. It was around 9AM and the source said he just came across Dennis Rodman passed out cold in the hallway of the hotel the guy was staying at. People had to step over the loudly snoring Rodman to get to their rooms. He must have had QUITE a night. Since we didn’t see this in person, we later contacted Dennis to make sure the item was accurate. He DENIED everything and we had to kill the story. Later, several other sources swore it was 100% true. Dennis’s LIE was a big disappointment. Above, we found this vintage photo of Dennis at a party when we were pumping him for info about his then-girlfriend Madonna and looking for a Madonna tattoo!

JUSTIN BIEBER IS HALF MAN HALF WOMAN !

Drivers on Sunset Strip got an amusing eyeful today. Justin Bieber’s billboard for his latest hit was halfway up and the workers apparently went to lunch, leaving THIS behind. The bottom half of the huge ad is for Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS special collection for female Olympic athletes. So Bieber’s bottom half is actually a muscular woman!

DIDDY’S GIRLS: NOTICE A RESEMBLANCE?

This Dolce & Gabbana show in Venice was quite an event – it even included children of celebrities as models. Among the pretty young things were Sean “Diddy” Combs’ three daughters by two mothers. Chance is 15 (mother is Sarah Chapman) and twins Jessie and D’Lila, 12, are daughters of the late Kim Porter. The girls wore some very fancy D&G dresses (not so hot) but Diddy was in the audience loudly applauding with tears in his eyes. He posted photos of them all over Instagram and the girls were VERY excited. In the photo above, the girls resemble dad with his dead-serious look, but they’re much cuter when they smile.

TRAVIS BARKER AND KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN WALLOW IN ATTENTION

This is a romantic gondola ride? Not much privacy. How romantic can this be with the tall gondolier standing right behind you looking down? Don’t forget this is high season in Venice and there are loads of other gondolas floating around. Yet Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian DID manage to snuggle a bit while paparazzi captured every move from bridges above. The happy couple attended the Dolce & Gabbana fashion event with loads of other celebrities in Venice. Scott Disick must be feeling left out. His May-December romance with Amelia Hamlin is suddenly old news.

JENNIFER LOPEZ WALKS THE PLANK THE HARD WAY

Jennifer Lopez has no lack of courage as she hops out of a boat and teeters across a narrow wooden deck above the water in Venice – wearing 7 inch platforms. Lady Gaga would be impressed! She’s in Venice with her manager Benny Medina (no Ben in sight) to attend a big Dolce & Gabbana two-day fashion event. Wonder if Lady Gaga will also be there in similar footwear.

CRUZ BECKHAM’S BADGE OF HONOR: A HICKEY ON HIS NECK

Seems there’s yet another “ladies man” in the David and Victoria Beckham family. Their oldest son Brooklyn, 22, is already engaged to his girlfriend Nicola Peltz, and Romeo, 19 has been going steady with the same girl for two years. Youngest son Cruz, 16, is NOT interested in playing soccer – he’d rather play guitar and sing. His resemblance to Justin Bieber isn’t going to hurt him, and we predict a record deal is in his future. Last month he had pink hair and this weekend Cruz turned up at the Reading Music Festival with a new girlfriend and a hickey on his neck! Can you even remember the last time you heard the word “hickey?”

KYLIE JENNER ALLOWS YOU TO WATCH HER GROW UP!

Kylie Jenner seems to be telling her sister Khloe to “get over it!” She knows how obsessed Khloe is with altering to perfection all photos of herself that appear online. To prove how fearless SHE is, Kylie had no complaints when this montage of pix from every year of her life was posted on social media.

VAL KILMER: THE CHURCH CAN DO NO WRONG

We haven’t watched the new Amazon Prime documentary Val because, frankly, it seemed like it might be depressing. Through the years we’ve watched Val Kilmer obviously suffering and hiding from the fact that he had cancer. He denied he was sick, but every time we saw him he looked worse. Back in 2015 he had a big lump in his throat and was apparently diagnosed at that time. Since he was a devoted Christian Scientist, he arranged for a “spiritual advisor” from the church to pray away his malady with him. When he didn’t appear to be improving, his two children, Mercedes and Jack, (from his marriage to Joanne Whalley) BEGGED him to seek traditional medical treatment. Eventually he relented and DID have surgery, radiation, and chemo, but would it have been more successful if he had done it sooner? Val survived but he was left suffering with a feeding tube (he cannot eat) and a tracheotomy tube. Val still insists that praying is what healed him and it was the medical treatment that left him to suffer with the tubes…
